LIFE PROCESSES OF HUMANBEINGS

FOUR LIFE PROCESSES
5
The Human Digestive System
1 The Human Digestive System
6
Digestive System Organization
Gastrointestinal (Gl) tract Tube within a tube Direct link/path between organs Structures Mouth Pharynx Esophagus Stomach Small intestine Large Intestine Rectum
7
Mouth Teeth mechanically break down food into small pieces. Tongue mixes food with saliva (contains amylase, which helps break down starch). Epiglottis is a flap-like structure at the back of the throat that closes over the trachea preventing food from entering it.
8
Esophagus Approximately 10” long Functions include: Secrete mucus
Moves food from the throat to the stomach using muscle movement called peristalsis If acid from the stomach gets in here that’s heartburn. A good way to describe peristalsis is an ocean wave moving through the muscle. These diagrams don’t separate the esophagus from the mouth functions, you might want to talk about what happens in the mouth too.
9
Stomach J-shaped muscular bag that stores the food you eat, breaks it down into tiny pieces. Mixes food with digestive juices that contain enzymes to break down proteins and lipids. Acid in the stomach kills bacteria. Food found in the stomach is called chyme. The stomach takes around 4 hours to do it’s job on the food, depending on what kinds of food are digested.
10
Small Intestine Small intestines are roughly 7 meters long
Lining of intestine walls has finger-like projections called villi, to increase surface area. The villi are covered in microvilli which further increases surface area for absorption.
11
Large Intestine About 5 feet long
Accepts what small intestines don’t absorb Rectum (short term storage which holds feces before it is expelled). Depending on the maturity of the group, you can talk about the feces leaving via the anus. Mention the appendix at the bottom of the ascending colon and that it might have been used long ago but is not today Mention the portions of the large intestine, ascending, transverse, descending, sigmoid, and rectum (last one if the audience is mature enough)
12
Accessory Organs Liver Directly affects digestion by producing bile
Bile helps digest fat filters out toxins and waste including drugs and alcohol Gall Bladder Stores bile from the liver, releases it into the small intestine. Fatty diets can cause gallstones
13
Accessory Organs Pancreas
Produces digestive enzymes to digest fats, carbohydrates and proteins Regulates blood sugar by producing insulin
14
Human Respiratory system
2 Human Respiratory system
15
What is Human Respiration?
The human respiratory system allows one to obtain oxygen, eliminate carbon dioxide. Breathing consists of two phases, inspiration and expiration Inspiration- the process of taking in air Expiration- the process of blowing out air
16
Organs in the Respiratory System
STRUCTURE FUNCTION nose / nasal cavity warms, moistens, & filters air as it is inhaled pharynx (throat) passageway for air, leads to trachea larynx the voice box, where vocal chords are located trachea (windpipe) keeps the windpipe "open" trachea is lined with fine hairs called cilia which filter air before it reaches the lungs bronchi two branches at the end of the trachea, each lead to a lung bronchioles a network of smaller branches leading from the bronchi into the lung tissue & ultimately to air sacs alveoli the functional respiratory units in the lung where gases are exchanged
17
Components of the Respiratory Tract
Figure 10.3
18
Gas Exchange & Transport: A Passive Process
Gases diffuse according to their partial pressures External respiration: gases exchanged between air and blood Internal respiration: gases exchanged with tissue fluids Oxygen transport: bound to hemoglobin in red blood cells or dissolved in blood plasma Carbon dioxide transport: dissolved in blood plasma, bound to hemoglobin, or in the form of plasma bicarbonate
19
Oxygen Exchange
20
Four Respiration Processes
Breathing (ventilation): air in to and out of lungs External respiration: gas exchange between air and blood Internal respiration: gas exchange between blood and tissues Cellular respiration: oxygen use to produce ATP, carbon dioxide as waste
21
Respiratory Cycle Figure 10.9

3 Circulatory System
23
What is the circulatory system?
The circulatory system carries blood and dissolved substances to and from different places in the body. The Heart has the job of pumping these things around the body. The Heart pumps blood and substances around the body in tubes called blood vessels. The Heart and blood vessels together make up the Circulatory System.
24
STRUCTURE OF HUMAN
25
How does the Heart work? The heart beat begins when the
STEP ONE blood from the lungs blood from the body The heart beat begins when the heart muscles relax and blood flows into the atria.
26
How does the Heart work? the valves open to allow blood
STEP TWO The atria then contract and the valves open to allow blood into the ventricles.
27
How does the Heart work? The valves close to stop blood
STEP THREE The valves close to stop blood flowing backwards. The ventricles contract forcing the blood to leave the heart. At the same time, the atria are relaxing and once again filling with blood.
28
blood from the heart gets around the body through blood vessels
artery vein capillaries body cell
29
The Blood white blood cell red blood cell plasma platelets
30
Our circulatory system is a double circulatory system.
This means it has two parts parts. Lungs the right side of the system deals with deoxygenated blood. the left side of the system deals with oxygenated blood. Body cells
31
Human Excretory System
4 Human Excretory System
32
human excretory system
waste and what its removed by carbon dioxide- lungs water - skin, kidney, lungs salts - skin, kidney ammonia - liver urea - kidney human excretory system
33
human excretory system
consists of the kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, urethra and renal circuit (renal arteries and renal veins) kidney includes an outer cortex, middle medulla and the nephrons nephrons include a capsule and a looping tubule that joins others to form the collecting ducts, making up the pyramids which empty into the calyces - lead into the renal pelvis nephrons form urine, which passes from the collecting ducts to the renal pelvis. The renal pelvis empties into the ureters, which conduct urine to the urinary bladder, and the urethra voids the urine from the body.
34
primary organs of excretion kidney
Functions of the kidneys excrete toxins and nitrogenous wastes regulate chemical levels in blood maintain water balance helps regulate blood pressure (renin)
35
the nephron The nephron begins with Bowman's capsules, which surrounds the glomerulus, a ball of capillaries arising from an afferent arteriole of the renal artery. Leaving the glomerulus is an efferent arteriole, which forms the peritubular capillaries, where reabsorption takes place. These spread over the nephron to later form a venule that joins others to make up the renal vein.
36
other organs ureters - long narrow tubes with expanded upper end (renal pelvis) located inside each kidney. Function is to drain the renal pelvis to urinary bladder urinary bladder- elastic muscular organ capable of great expansion. Function si storage of urine and voiding urethra – passage of urine from bladder to outside of body. Passage of semen from male body
37
formation of urine occurs by a series of three processes that take place in successive parts of the nephron filtration reabsorption secretion
38
blood and urine flow blood enters the kidneys via renal arteries, and leaves the kidneys via the renal veins wastes removed from the blood leave the kidneys by the ureter
39
wastes - urine The remaining wastes, now called urine are transported out through the collecting tubule to an area known as the renal pelvis (a collecting area) where the urine then passes into the ureter
41
Our Body Our body lives and works through all the hard work are organs do to keep us alive. Whether we are walking, talking, sleeping, playing or sitting, our body is constantly working hard to keeps us in full health keeping us fit. As long as we continue to treat our body with care it will take care of us. Through eating healthily and keeping an active lifestyle our body will continue to work to its full potential allowing us to enjoy a long life.
