THE HUMAN BODY
2
Bellwork 11/8 Why does our body sweat when we are hot or shiver when we are cold?
3
Maintaining Homeostasis Shivering occurs when your muscles rapidly contract and relax. Sweating helps to cool your body. Your internal body temperature will be close to 37 degrees C. If you become sick, you body temperature may rise but it will return to 37 degrees C when you are well again. This action produces heat that helps keep you warm.
4
Homeostasis The maintenance of a stable internal environment in the body in spite of changes in the external environment Constantly working to keep the body in balance Outside factors make this hard
5
Stress and Homestasis Stress- The reaction of your body to potentially threatening, challenging, or disturbing events Your heart may beat more rapidly Your breathing may increase Your endocrine system might release a chemical called adrenaline into your bloodstream Adrenaline gives your body burst of energy and prepares your body to take action Your muscles work harder and require more oxygen Oxygen is carried to the circulatory system Your heart then beats faster so that more oxygen can get into your body.
6
Body Organization Cells Tissues Organs Systems
7
Cells Building blocks of life Body is composed of billions of different cells When cells of the same type work together to do a job they form a TISSUE
8
Tissues
9
Four main types Epithelial Nervous Muscle Connective
10
Epithelial Tissues Cover and protect underlying tissue Skin for example
12
Nervous Tissue Send messages through the body Found in Brain, nerves, and sensory organs
14
Muscle Tissue Made of cells that contract and relax Produce movement
16
Connective Tissue Many jobs Joins/supports/insulates Keeps organs from falling apart Examples Bone and blood
18
Organs Two or more tissues working together form an ORGAN Stomach uses all four types of tissues to perform digestion
20
Body Systems Organs working together form systems 12 major systems in the body Some organs are part of more than one system at a time
21
The Skeletal System
22
Skeletal System Made of bones, cartilage and the connective tissue that holds the bones together 206 in adults Multiple Functions
23
Functions of Skeletal System Protection Storage Movement Blood Cell Formation
24
Protection Prevents damage to organs Skull protects brain Ribcage protects heart, lungs, etc… Spine protects spinal cord
25
Storage Minerals needed to help nerves and muscles work Long bones can store fat for energy
26
Movement Allow for places for muscles to attach Movement of skeletal muscles allow to move
27
Blood Cell Formation Marrow of some bones make cells of the blood
28
Bone Structure Made of connective tissue and minerals Minerals deposited by cells called osteoblasts Two kinds of tissue Compact bone and spongy bone
29
Bone Structure Compact Bone Rigid and dense Spongy Bone Many open spaces Provide strength and support of bone
30
Bone Structure Bone Marrow Soft tissue inside bone Red marrow produces red and white blood cells Yellow marrow stores fat
31
Bone Growth Bones start as cartilage and harden as you get older Tips of ears and nose the cartilage never gets hard
32
Joints Place where two or more bones meet Two major types of joints Immovable Movable
33
Immovable Joints Little or no movement is allowed Bones of skull are held together this way
34
Immovable Joints
35
Movable Joints Held together by connective tissue called ligaments Three Main Types Gliding Joint Ball-and-Socket Joint Hinge Joint
36
Movable Joints Cartilage Protective covering over ends of bones Keeps bones from rubbing together
37
Gliding Joint Allow bones to move past one another Found in hand and wrist
39
Ball-and-Socket Joint Allows for movement in many different directions Rotate at this joint Shoulder Hip
41
Hinge Joint Open and close like a door Knee Elbow
43
Muscular System
44
The Muscular System Made up of all the muscles that let you move Two Main Types Involuntary Voluntary
45
Involuntary Muscles Muscles that you do not have to think about to control Act on their own Important for: Breathing, heart beating, blinking, etc…
46
Voluntary Muscles Muscles that you control with thought Movements Smiling, speaking, raising your hand, walking, etc…
47
Muscle Tissue Three Types of Muscle Tissue Smooth Muscle Skeletal Muscle Cardiac Muscle
48
Smooth Muscle Tissue Involuntary Muscle Makes up the inside of many organs Act without thought Example: digestion in the stomach is automatic
49
Smooth Muscle
50
Skeletal Muscle Tissue Voluntary Muscles Attached to bones by tendons Responsible for moving Called striated muscles Appear banded With lots of use become tired (fatigued)
51
Skeletal Muscle Tissue
52
Cardiac Muscle Found only in heart Is involuntary like smooth Striated like skeletal Unlike skeletal it never gets tired
53
Cardiac Muscle Tissue
54
Muscles at Work Function by contracting Message from nervous system Work in pairs When one muscle contracts its mate relaxes to its original length
55
Muscles at Work
58
Strength and Flexibility Some muscles can be made stronger and made to last longer Regular exercise can help Resistance and Aerobic Exercise
59
Integumentary System
60
Made up of skin, hair, and nails Covers the body and helps maintain homeostasis Skin is largest organ in body
61
Functions of Skin Protecting the Body Maintaining Temperature Eliminating Wastes Gathering Information Producing Vitamin D
62
Protecting the Body Forms a barrier Keeps disease-causing microorganisms out Keeps important substances inside body Prevents you from drying out
63
Maintaining Temperature Blood vessels in skin will enlarge when you get hot Allows more blood to area and a temperature drop to occur Sweat glands produce perspiration
64
Eliminating Wastes Sweat contains waste materials Keeps some harmful materials from building up in your body This is why sweat is salty
65
Gathering Information Lots of nerve endings in skin As you touch things your body collects information Pressure/pain/temperature Keeps you safe
66
Producing Vitamin D In presence of sunlight Important for healthy bones Helps cells to absorb calcium in food Only need a few minutes of sunlight each day
67
Layers of the Skin Two Main Layers Epidermis Dermis
68
Layers of the Skin
69
The Epidermis Outer layer Thinner than dermis No nerves or blood vessels Cells of epidermis (epithelial) are replaced about every 4 weeks
70
The Epidermis Outer layer is dead cells This is what protects and cushions Shedding of dead cells carries away bacteria Melanin is produced in epidermis
71
The Epidermis Melanin protects skin by creating a tan when exposed to sun light Also cells in epidermis that produce fingernails
72
The Dermis Inner layer of skin Has: Nerves/Blood Vessels/Sweat Glands/Hairs/Oil Glands Sweat and oil reach surface through pores
73
The Dermis Hair grow from follicles Hair you see is made of dead cells Oil produced helps make hair waterproof and keep skin moist
74
Injuries, Disorders, and Diseases of the Skeletal System Fractures Postural Deformities Arthritis Cancer Osteoporosis Rickets
75
Fractures A fracture is any break in the bone About 6 different types We will cover 3 Simple Greenstick Compound
76
Simple Fractures A clean break of the bone Bone is often split into two pieces No damage to skin May result in bruising
77
Simple Fracture
78
Greenstick Fracture Bone is not completely broken One side shows break Other just bends Most commonly seen in children Due to pliable nature of young bones
79
Greenstick Fracture
80
Compound Fracture Also known as an “Open” fracture Broken end of bone pushes out and breaks through skin Can result in damage to tissues and infection
81
Compound Fracture
82
Arthritis Inflammation of one or more joints Causes range depending on type of arthritis Osteo arthritis is caused by wearing away of cartilage Rheumatoid arthritis is caused when body attacks and breaks down cartilage (autoimmune disorder)
83
Rheumatoid Arthritis
84
Injuries, Diseases and Disorders of the Muscular System Sprains Strains Dystrophy
85
Sprains and Strains A sprain is when a ligament gets stretched too far Symptoms of a sprain are: pain, swelling, and bruising of the affected joint A strain is an injury to a muscle or tendon, usually occurring when stretched too far Can lead to muscle tears when a rip occurs in the muscle or tendon
86
Muscle Tear
87
Dystrophy Refers to a group of diseases All result in a wasting of the muscles Loss of control May extend to internal organs Leading to problems with organs functioning or even death
88
Injuries, Disorders, Diseases of Skin Hundreds of different problems can occur with the skin and underlying connective tissue Will look at just two Acne Psoriasis
89
Acne Term for pimples on the skin At puberty the oil glands of the skin start producing an oily material (sebum) Sometimes the wall of the oil gland breaks and spills the sebum within the skin which causes redness, swelling, and pus (a pimple)
90
Acne
91
Psoriasis Causes are unknown Runs in families Results in areas of the skin growing much faster than others Creates red and scaly patches that itch
92
Psoriasis
93
Can Happen On the Nails as Well
