Lots of things survive without having human anatomy. Plants, animals, fungi. Depends on your environment.

Much of the inside of the ant head is occupied with the muscles that close the jaws; the muscles that open the jaws are a lot smaller. as u can imagine it is neccessary to "bite" harder than open. The brain, though tiny, is a very complex organ and allows the ant to learn and react to its surroundings. It can remembers things such as colony odour, navigation, and where it has placed a certain object.
The heart is a long tubular organ running the entire length of the body. It has valves within it that prevents blood from flowing the wrong way, just as veins found in the human body. . The pharynx, which is part of the gut, is controlled by muscles and pumps food into the esophagus. Ant debris in the food, such as dirt, is filtered before it enters the oesophagus and is collected in a tiny pocket. When this pocket becomes full the ant empties it into an area within the nest that is designated as a waste products area.
There are also several glands in the head that secrete various substances such as those responsible for the digestion of food. Another gland within the head produces digestive and, in some species, an alarm chemical; this chemical is used to alert nearby ants of impending danger and any ant that detects this alarm will automatically attack. Incidentally, if you crush an ant you will release a huge blast of this chemical and that is why other ants just go crazy
The thorax contains muscles that operate the legs and wings(if the type of ant has wings) and also the nerve cells that co-ordinate their movements; also contained in this part of the body is the heart and esophagus.
The abdomen contains the stomachs, poison glands, ovaries in the queen, and other things. Ants have two "stomachs"; a dry, social stomach in which they can store food and later regurgitate to larvae, the queen and other ants. .

the same way humans survive without having the same organs as an ant

They have equivalent organs that serve the same purpose, but since they belong to a different class of animal (invertebrate), they don't have to have the same organs. They have no internal skeleton, for example. They breathe through special pores and tubes, and so don't carry oxygen in their blood. They are specialized in their own way to survive on this planet, the same as every other creature that calls Earth home.

you should be wondering how humans can survive without the same organs as ants seeing how there are more of them and theve been around longer. Think about it!

There is more than one way to do anything. You might also wonder how an R/C car with an electric motor and batteries could possibly work without a gasoline engine, radiator, power steering, power brakes, etc.

Study the open circulatory system. They are insects, not mammals. Completely different kingdom.
