2. Human Anatomy and Body Systems

3. Organization of Your Body
There are various levels of organization, it is called a HIERARCHY.
1. Cells;
2. Tissues;
3. Organs;
4. Organ Systems
5. Organism
Bodies of vertebrates (animals with spines) are composed of different cell types
-Humans have 210 2

5. Organization of Your Body
The more ya know!!!!!
NOT all tissues are created equal!!! There are four types of tissues that perform different functions.
tissues:
-Epithelial tissue,
-Connective tissue,
-Muscle tissue,
-Nerve tissue. 3

6. There are four main types of tissues

7. Epithelial Tissue Epithelial Tissue:
Separates, protects, and keeps organs in place.
Covers the body surface and forms the lining of most organs.
Ex: Skin (epidermis), & inside of mouth 6

8. Connective Tissue Connective Tissue-
Provides support and structure to the body, also fills spaces.
The most abundant tissue in the human body. 
Ex: Blood, bones, cartilage, and fat.

9. Muscle Tissue
Muscle Tissue -Contracts and relaxes to support movement.
Three types: Skeletal, smooth, and cardiac.
Ex:
Cardiac muscle contracts to pump blood through the body;
Skeletal muscle moves the bones when directed by brain.
Smooth muscle contracts in digesting;

10. Nerve Tissue Nerve Tissue - responds to stimuli in the environment;
- controls movement, reflexes, and receives sensory information;
Ex:
Brain tissue,
Spinal Cord Tissue,
Peripheral nerve cells.

11. Organs: are combinations of different tissues that
Organs: are combinations of different tissues that form a structure and function.
Examples:
Heart - Pumps blood throughout the body.
Liver - Removes toxins from the blood, produces chemicals that help in digestion.
Lungs - Supplies oxygen to the blood and removes CO from blood.
Brain - The control center of the body. 4

12. The human body systems are as follows:
-- nervous system -- respiratory system
-- digestive system -- skeletal system
-- excretory system -- circulatory system
-- muscular system -- reproductive system
All are extremely important because each system is responsible for a specific cellular function, just on a much larger scale.

13. The job of an organ system
Organ systems are in charge of:
communicate, integrate, support and move, maintain and regulate, defend, and reproduce.

15. Glue in your body systems chart in your SISN.

16. The Digestive System
Purpose: Take in food and breaks down food your body needs for nutrients and energy. Digests food into smaller molecules to absorb nutrients. Remove indigestible food (POOOOOOOP).
Major Organs and their Functions:
Mouth – to chew and grind up food
-- saliva also begins the chemical breakdown
Esophagus – pipe connecting mouth to stomach
Stomach – secretes an extraordinarily strong acid (pH = 2) that leads to breakdown of food
Intestines – Where the main part of mineral and nutrient absorption takes place.

17. The Digestive System

18. The Circulatory System
Purpose: to transport/deliver oxygenated blood to the various cells and organ systems in your body.
Major Organs and Their Functions
Heart – the major muscle of the circulatory system
-- pumps blood through its four chambers (two ventricles and two atria)
-- pumps deoxygenated blood into the lungs, where it gets oxygenated, returned to the heart, and then pumped out through the aorta to the rest of the body
-- valve regulate the flow of blood between the chambers

19. Arteries – carry blood away from the heart and to the major organs of the body
Veins – carry blood back to the heart away from the major organs of the body
Capillaries – small blood vessels where gas exchange occurs
Blood – the cells that flow through the circulatory system
-- red blood cells contain hemoglobin, an iron-rich protein that carries oxygen
-- white blood cells function in the immune system
-- platelets help in blood clotting
Spleen – helps to filter out toxins in the blood

20. Image of the Circulatory System

21. The Nervous System
Purpose: Gathers, interprets, and responds to information from and external stimuli.
Major Organs and Their Functions
Brain – control center of the body, where all processes are relayed through
Spinal Cord – sends instructions from the brain to the rest of the body and vice versa
Nerves – conduct impulses to muscle cells throughout the body

22. Diagram of a Nerve Cell

23. The Excretory System Purpose: To remove the body of waste materials.
Major Organs and Their Functions
Kidneys – the main organs of the excretory system
Rectum – solid (food) waste travels out of the body through the rectum
Skin – sweat glands remove excess water and salts from the body
Lungs – expel the waste gas carbon dioxide

24. The Excretory System

25. The Respiratory System
Purpose: takes in oxygen and removes carbon dioxide and water.
Major Organs and Their Functions
Nose – internal entry and exit point for air
Larynx – your “voicebox”, as air passes over your vocal chords, you speak
Trachea – the “windpipe”, or what connects your pharynx to your lungs

26. Image of the Respiratory System

27. The Skeletal System
Purpose: Protects organs, provides shape and support, stores materials, produces blood cells, and allows movement.
Major organs and functions:
Bones are where new blood cells are generated (in the marrow), and require the mineral calcium for strength
Major Bones of the Human Body
-- femur (thigh bone) -- humerus (upper arm)
-- radius and ulna (lower arm) -- cranium (skull)
-- sternum (breastbone) -- clavicle (shoulder blade)
-- fibula and tibia (calf) -- vertebrae (back)
-- scalpula (shoulder) -- pelvic bone
-- coccyx (tail bone) -- phalanges (fingers/toes)

28. Skeletal System

29. The Muscular System
Purpose: works with the skeletal and nervous system to produce movement.
-- muscle contractions can be voluntary or involuntary
Major Muscles in the Human Body
-- biceps -- triceps -- deltoids
-- glutes -- hamstrings

30. Muscular System

31. The Immune System
Purpose: to remove foreign invaders and other pathogens from the human body.
Major Organs and Their Functions
Skin – also called the integumentary system, the skin is the body’s first line of defense
White Blood Cells – recognize disease agents (antigens) and create antibodies to tag and remove these antigens
Lymph Nodes – help restore fluid lost by the blood and return it to the circulatory system

32. Bacteria invaders!
Bacteria invaders!

33. Reproductive System
Purpose: The reproductive system enables the organism to make more of its kind keeping an organism from extinction.
Major Organs and Their Functions
Male parts and female parts

34. Circulatory/Cardiovascular
Summarize the following body systems in your journal:
Body System Function/Purpose

35. How are these systems linked together
How are these systems linked together? Does any system impact another system?
Read through the cards in the bag.
Split the cards in half and quiz each other!!!
Switch sets and quiz each other on the other set of systems.
Observe the purpose of each system and INFER which systems you think might work together.
