Inside a cow, you would find various organs such as the heart, lungs, stomach, liver, and intestines. These organs work together to help the cow digest food, absorb nutrients, and perform other bodily functions.

Cows breathe through their nostrils, just like humans. They have a respiratory system with lungs that takes in oxygen and exhales carbon dioxide. Cows have the ability to inhale and exhale air to facilitate the exchange of gases necessary for respiration.
