they speed up chemical reactions
Enzyme: [n.] Any of numerous proteins or conjugated proteins produced by living organisms and functioning as biochemical catalysts.
Enzymes act as natural catalys, they bind to substrates to make an enzyme substrate complex and can then break down the substrate, or cause substrates to bind to each other ( it all depends on what enzyme it is) essentialy they speed up reactions so that they can happen quickly enough to sustain life, this is often a 1000 fold increse in the speed of the reaction.
Enzymes are very necessary to the body as they help to achive one body function and the other. Example some enzyme are necessary in the small intestine for the absorption of vitamin D.

enzymes
Enzymes are globular proteins that function as biological catalysts in the body. They help to activate and speed up anabolic and catabolic reactions. For example, enzymes help to break down/digest the food you eat.
Coenzyme-A is the most active metabolic enzyme in the human body. Fermentation is a process whereby a cell can achieve redox balance.
What organ in the human body with similar function
The main function of the enzymes in the human body is to activate metabolic processes. These processes are what sustains the human life.
For enzymes in the human body to function, they must be at a certain temperature. About 37degrees Celsius and 98.6 degrees fahrenheit. If it is any greater, the enzymes will denature. any lower, and they won't be able to function. So, in general, human body temp. is pretty constant.

enzymes
Enzymes are present throughout the body.
Tongue
The stomach, pancreas, small intestines, salivary glands, and the food we eat produces enzymes that live in every corner of the human body. These proteins perform different chemical function to keep the body running.
Everywhere.

There is a huge amount of enzyme types in the human body. We have digestive enzymes such as pepsinogen, cardiac enzymes such as Trop-I, liver enzymes such as GGT. If you are curious of enzymes in the human body I suggest you look at specific systems or organs. An example would be to ask the internets about "pancreatic enzymes".
