The Sum of All Parts: Human Body Systems WEEKLY GOAL! Catalyst Why do you get hungry? What happens when you get very cold? Why? Why do you use the restroom more when you drink a lot of liquid? Write in complete sentences! Don’t talk during the Catalyst!
2
Objectives By the end of today, all SWBAT… Identify the functions of the major body systems Define homeostasis
3
Agenda Catalyst Review New Unit: Body Systems! Scavenger Hunt HOMEOSTASIS Memory & Dominoes Exit Question HOMEWORK: Body Systems Overview
4
Catalyst Review Why do you get hungry? You’re running low on energy and need to replace your nutrients back to normal. What happens when you get very cold? Why? You start shivering to generate heat to get your body temperature back to normal. Why do you use the restroom more when you drink a lot of water? Because your body needs to get rid of the extra water so that your fluid level goes back to normal.
5
New Unit: Human Body Systems & Health This week, we are going to talk about… How we breathe, how our heart works How we digest food But we’ll also learn about… How we gain and lose weight Why exercise is ESSENTIAL!!!!! How humans interact with bacteria & viruses How we fight off disease SEX!!! (especially STIs and pregnancy)
6
Body Systems Key Point #1: Your body is organized in this order: cells organs organ systems Your body is made of cells. Sometimes, a group of cells is called tissue (such as heart tissue instead of heart cells). Organ = group of similar cells that do a job Organ system = organs that work together to accomplish a job

14
The Digestive System
15
Check for understanding!!!! The smallest unit of living things is the ________. Order these from smallest to largest: organ, organ system, cell. Describe an organ. Describe an organ system.
16
Organ System Structures & Functions Organ systems are specialized – they have a specific function. TEXTBOOK SCAVENGER HUNT!! Let’s check our answers.
17
Supports the body and protects organs Uses energy to produce movement Control center; coordinates communcation Distributes nutrients; removes wastes Exchanges gases—oxygen in, CO 2 out Breaks down food and absorbs nutrients Produces hormones Outside barrier and regulates temperature Eliminates liquid wastes Provides ability to make/have children Protects the body from disease
18
Nervous System Endocrine System Excretory System Muscular System Reproductive System Integumentary System Skeletal System Immune System
19
1. Skeletal System 2. Muscular System 3. Nervous System 4. Circulatory System 5. Respiratory System 6. Digestive System Bones muscles Control center Pumps blood breathing Food for energy
20
7. Endocrine System 8. Integumentary System 9. Excretory System 10. ReproductiveSystem 11. Immune System hormones skin peeing Making children Fights disease
21
The Whole Body The human body is one big team. Cells in an organ work together to make an organ function correctly. Certain organs work together to make up an organ system that has a specific function. But what makes the team win?????? Organ systems work together to maintain homeostasis.
22
But what’s the point? All of your body systems work together to do ONE THING…
23
Homeostasis Key Point #2: Homeostasis is the process of maintaining a stable internal environment. Stable = does not change (normal, even, balanced) To function properly, your body needs to have a stable… Oxygen level Temperature Food intake Amount of water KEEP THIS CONCEPT IN MIND ALL UNIT LONG. Every body system works to keep your internal environment stable.
24
Examples How does your integumentary system maintain homeostasis? Break it down: What does the system do? What organs make it up? The integumentary system regulates body temperature through the skin and sweat glands. It keeps you at a stable (or normal) temperature when you get hot.
25
Examples How does your respiratory system maintain homeostasis? Break it down: What does the system do? What organs make it up? Your respiratory system exchanges gases. It maintains homeostasis by making sure your oxygen levels are stable.
26
Examples How does your circulatory system maintain homeostasis? Break it down: What does the system do? What organs make it up? The circulatory system distributes nutrients to, and removes wastes from, cells. It also helps to carry oxygen and water to cells. This helps maintain homeostasis by keeping oxygen and water levels stable.
27
Remember the Catalyst? Why do you get hungry? What body system can maintain homeostasis and how does it do it? Nervous system Oxygen level? Temperature? Food intake? Amount of water?
28
Remember the Catalyst? What happens when you get very cold? What body system(s) can maintain homeostasis and how does it do it? Integumentary system Musclar system Circulatory system Oxygen level? Temperature? Food intake? Amount of water?
29
Remember the Catalyst? Why do you use the restroom more when you drink a lot of water? What body system can maintain homeostasis and how does it do it? Excretory Oxygen level? Temperature? Food intake? Amount of water?
30
Now you Try Memory and Dominoes!!!
31
Key Point Wrap-Up Key Point #1: Cells Organs Organ systems. Key Point #2: Homeostasis is the process of maintaining a stable internal environment. STABLE! (normal, even, level, or balanced) Oxygen levels, temperature, food intake, amount of water Organ systems work together to maintain homeostasis.
32
Exit Questions 1. Which of the following is the correct function of the excretory system? A. To eliminate wastes B. To control all the body’s function C. To distribute nutrients D. To support the body and protect organs 2. Which of the following is made by the endocrine system? A. Energy B. Urine C. Hormones D. Blood 3. Describe what your body systems have to do to maintain homeostasis. (Be sure to include what has to stay stable!) Write in complete sentences! Don’t talk during the Exit Question!
