Here are my comparisons of parts of the human body to computer hardware components:
1. Motherboard - The brain and central nervous system. It coordinates all the body's activities.
2. Power supply - The heart and circulatory system. It pumps blood containing oxygen and nutrients to power all the body's cells.
3. Memory slots - Areas of the brain that store memories.
4. Expansion slots - Openings where new tissues or organs can form, like new bone growth.
5. Drive bays - Cavities in the body like the mouth, stomach and intestines that intake and process food and liquids.
6. System unit - The entire body which houses all the internal components.

Hi
Hello Knowing what’s inside a PC will help us understand how it works.
It will give us an idea of how
data is processed and stored. The computer’s main hardware components are housed together as a system unit inside a casing. The System Unit This casing protects the components from physical damage, heat, and moisture. The monitor, keyboard, and system unit of a desktop computer are separate from each other. However, certain desktop computers, such as the Apple iMac, combine the monitor and the system unit in a single plastic case. Apple iMac In portable computers, such as the laptop or netbook, the monitor and keyboard are combined along with other components. Inside the System Unit The motherboard - is where the central processing unit, the chipset, The motherboard memory slots, and expansion slots are attached. The power supply
Accepts and moderates
electricity for the computer. The cooling fan
Makes sure that the temperature
inside the system remains cool. The speaker
Produces beeps that warn of
computer errors. The drive bays
Are where drives are placed.
Drive Bays Internal drive bays
- Are used for hard disks.
External drive bays
- Are used for drives which are
accessed by users. Examples are CD-ROM drives, DVD drives, and Blu-ray drives. Write T on the blank if the statement is True. Write F if the statement is False.
