5. Nervous System
7/23/2015

6. Nervous system What does it do?
Sensory neurons take information from the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and skin to the brain.
Motor neurons carry messages away from the brain and back to the rest of the body.
Common problems/injuries?
Brain tumors, cerebral palsy, epilepsy, concussions, meningitis, mental illnesses, migraines

7. Central Nervous System
The Nervous System
Is divided into 2 sections
Central Nervous System
Cerebrum – 85% of the brain, controls thinking, long- and short term memory
Cerebellum – located at the back of the
brain, controls balance
Spinal Cord – connects neurons to the brain

8. Peripheral Nervous System
Made up of a huge network of interconnecting neurons across the body
Cranial Nerve – affects motion and feeling in the face; it does not pass through the spinal cord

9. Endocrine System

10. ENDOCRINE system ENDOCRINE = HORMONES What does it do?
It helps regulate and maintain various body functions making and releasing hormones.
Common problems/injuries? Diabetes, thyroid disorders
ENDOCRINE = HORMONES

11. Endocrine System Pituitary Gland
“Master Gland”; controls all endocrine glands
Hypothalamus
Controls metabolism and homeostasis
Thyroid Gland
Regulates metabolism
Parathyroid Gland
Controls calcium in blood and bones
Adrenal Gland
Controls metabolism and stress responses
Pinal Gland
Regulates wake/sleep cycle

12. Respiratory System
7/23/2015

13. Respiratory system What does it do? It supplies the blood with oxygen.
We inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide. This gas exchange is how we get the oxygen in the blood.
Common problems/injuries?
Asthma, bronchitis, emphysema, pneumonia
7/23/2015

14. Respiratory System A – Lungs B – Alveoli C – Nasal Cavity D – Mouth
E – Trachea
F – Diaphragm
G – Epiglottis
H – Bronchia
I – Pharynx I G H
7/23/2015

15. Respiratory System Nasal cavity is lined with…
Cilia ~ which filter the air
Mucous Membrane ~ which moistens the air
Blood Capillaries ~ which warm the air

16. Circulatory System
7/23/2015

17. Circulatory system What does it do?
It circulates blood through the body. This is our “blood pressure,” which is the contraction and relaxation of our heart muscle.
Systole = Contraction
Diastole = Relaxation
Average Blood pressure is 120 / 80.
Common problems/injuries?
Atherosclerosis, high blood pressure, angina, aneurysm, arrhythmia

18. Circulatory System atrium ventricle atrium ventricle blue lungs oxygen
The heart is divided into 4 chambers, right ________________ and ____________________ and the left ______________________ and _________________________.
Oxygen-poor blood, ____________ blood, circulates to the right side of the heart, it is sent to the _______________ to get __________________. The _______ blood is then sent back to the left side of the heart to be circulated back through the _______________.

20. Lymphatic System
7/23/2015

21. LYMPHATIC = IMMUNE SYSTEM
Lymphatic system
What does it do?
It transports fluids throughout the body.
The vessels carry proteins to the lymph nodes, which are filled with white blood cells that kill bacteria and other pathogens, before sending the protein back into the body.
Common problems/injuries?
Lymphedema, lymphoma, cancer
LYMPHATIC = IMMUNE SYSTEM

22. all throughout our body. What is the largest one?
We have lymph nodes
all throughout our body. What is the largest one?
LIVER

23. SKELETAL system
7/23/2015

24. Skeletal System What does it do? Provides shape to the body
Gives muscles a place to attach
Protects certain organs
Common problems/injuries?
Sprains, strains, fractures, dislocations
7/23/2015

25. 206 How many bones can you label? Do you know how many bones we
have in
our body?
206
7/23/2015

26. Terms associated with the skeletal system:
Joint – point at which 2 bones come together
Dislocation – one bone pulls out of a joint
Ligaments – attach bone to bone at a joint
Sprain – a pull or tear in a ligament
Tendons – Attach muscle to bone at a joint
Strain – a pull or tear in a tendon or muscle
Cartilage – cushion between the bones at a joint

27. muscular system
7/23/2015

28. muscular system What does it do? Movement
Provides protection for the joints
Creates heat
Common problems/injuries?
Strains, pulled muscles, cramps
7/23/2015

29. How do muscles work together to cause movement?
The muscles work in pairs to keep your body moving.
When one muscle contracts (shortens), the other one relaxes (lengthens).
Ex… The biceps and triceps muscles work as a pair to bend and straighten the arm (flexion and extension).

30. How many muscles can you label?
Deltoids
Trapezius
Pectorals
Triceps
Bicep
Latissimus
Dorsi
Abs
Gluteus
Maximus
Quadriceps
Hamstrings
Gastrocnemius
