Biochemical Reasoning

The organs were in their usual position carrying out their function when smoke passed through the trachea and entered the lungs.

The lungs released the smoke into the bloodstream and affected other organs.

Liver: okay, I'm tired of this nonsense. I'm the only one working so hard in this house, and lungs couldn't do a thing.

Kidney: but he is the one supplying us with oxygen

Liver: so?

Kidney: what is your problem? What do you do in this house, if I may ask?

Liver: oh! Really? I clean up the mess in the stomach and small intestine every time, activate enzymes and store glycogen, vitamins, and minerals. I break and build up proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. I remove dead red blood cells and toxins from this house. You, What do you do?

Kidney: are we going to go down that lane right now? I balance almost everything in this house, including acid-base, water, and electrolytes, and I produce the hormone erythropoietin. I remove toxins and the waste product of nonsense you metabolize. I control blood pressure and activate Vitamin D.

Liver: LMAO! You did all of these for yourself. If not, you would have died a long time ago. You don't even store the vitamin D you produce. Without me, this house would have fallen a long time ago.

Kidney: is that what you think? The erythropoietin I produce helps to stimulate blood from bone marrow, and you can't survive without blood.

Liver: yen yen yen

Kidney: you think we don't know your little secret?

Liver: which is?

Kidney: you hate alcohol that always comes in through the mouth every morning and night. So, you release the enzyme - alcohol dehydrogenase that breaks it down into a substance that causes even more damage to your cell.

The argument was still going on between them when the heart interfered.

Heart: Uhm! Guys!

Liver and kidney: what??????

Heart: I'm getting weak. I think I just got stabbed
