Organs of the body poster @ copy the picture and label the organs in your notebook. @ Alex wants to add the word hand to the picture. Why shouldn't he add this word? Which word could he add instead? © How do you think the circulatory system works with the digestive and respiratory systems? The process of nutrition includes the circulatory, respiratory, digestive and excretory systems. @he circulatory system The circulatory system consists of the heart, blood vessels and blood. It moves blood through the heart and around the body. Blood gives our cells the oxygen and nutrients they need, Blood also collects waste products, such as carbon dioxide, and takes them to the parts of the body which expel them. Ghe excretory system Our excretory system excretes waste from our body. Two organs called kidneys clean waste from our blood. The waste combines with water to make urine. Urine travels down two tubes called ureters and collects in a bag called the bladder. When the bladder is full, the urine leaves the body through the urethra. Our body also eliminates waste pe through the skin. This waste is (wet in the form of a liquid called sweat. ; @ what does our blood carry to our body @) Explain to a partner how waste cells? rae products leave our body. Ge respiratory system The respiratory system is made up of a group of organs that help us breathe. We breathe in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide. Air enters our lungs through the nose, mouth, trachea and bronchi. Oxygen then passes into our blood through the alveoli. Carbon dioxide from our blood passes into our lungs, also through the alveoli. When we breathe out, the carbon dioxide leaves our lungs. The diaphragm is a strong muscle below the lungs which contracts when we breathe in and relaxes when we breathe out. Ge digestive system ‘The digestive system allows our body to get the nutrients it needs. Digestion begins in the mouth. The food then travels down the oesophagus and into the stomach. The small intestine separates the nutrients from the waste. The nutrients pass to the circulatory system and travel to all the body cells. The waste passes to the large intestine and leaves the body through the anus. nose lungs mouth oesophagus: stomach liver — pancreas} large intestine small Gre nervous system and the senses The nervous system controls everything we do: thinking, walking, talking and even breathing. The brain sends information to different parts of the body via the nerves. It also receives information; our sense organs detect information from the environment and the nerves send this information to the brain. nerve | to brain | Smell uD olfactory nerve i Our tongue is the organ of taste. Itis covered in taste buds which identify the different tastes. Nerves send information about the tastes to the brain. Our nose is the organ of smell. Air enters the nose through the nostrils.

Gketeton, joints and muscles The skeleton scapula humerus pelvis femur fibula tibia The skeleton is made up of all the bones in our body. The skeleton has three parts: the skull, the torso and the limbs. It has two functions: it supports our body and it protects the delicate internal organs. ur bones are connected at joints, Our elbows, knees, shoulders, wrists and ankles are all joints. uty Muscles, deltgids masseter calf muscles There are over six hundred muscles in our body. Muscles help us move, give our bodies shape and they also protect our internal organs. Most muscles are connected to bones. They move bones by contracting and ‘As we grow, our body changes and our reproductive organs develop. Our reproductive system makes it possible for us to have babies. While the other body systems are the same for men and women, the reproductive systems are different. The two reproductive systems need to work together so that we can reproduce. 5) ovaris vagina uterds The testicles produce sperm which is the male sex cell. The testicles are located in a bag of skin called the scrotum. The penis is connected to the testicles by small tubes. The urethra is a tube in the penis. The sperm travels through the urethra to the outside of the body. } The two ovaries store and produce ova, Ova are | the female sex cells. The uterus is connected to the ovaries by tubes. The vagina is a muscular tube. It connects the uterus to the outside of the body. The vulva is on the outside of the body and covers the opening to the vagina, the male and female reproductive systems in your notebook. ind classify the parts of the male and female reproductive systems. escrotum vagina eovaries etestiles vulva eurethra Gow we are born Reproduction begins with fertilisation.
