Inside My Body

In the last lesson, we learnt about different body parts. We can see all of
them with our eyes. But there are some body parts which we cannot see.
They are inside our body.
Do you want to know what is inside our body?
Let's start from the head.
Brain
Inside the head is the brain. It is the thinking organ.
Our body does what our brain tells it to do.
Use your
brain!
Do you know how our brain works?
The brain collects information from
our surroundings and tells our body
parts what to do.

Brain helps us to think

Our five sense organs tell the brain

what is happening around us.
Eyes tell the brain what they see.
Ears tell it what they hear.
Nose tells it what it smells.
Tongue tells it what it tastes.
Skin tells it what it feels (hot, cold, etc.)
The brain uses all this information and
tells our body what to do.
11
 PART-A

Now that we know what is inside our head,

let's learn what is inside our chest!

HEART
Inside the chest, is the heart. The heart
beats all the time and pumps blood to all Heart
parts of the body.

LUNGS
A pair of lungs is present inside the chest,
too - right lung and left lung. They are
Lungs air filled bags which help us to breathe.

Where does the food we eat go?

We eat food from the mouth and it goes into
our belly. Inside the belly, is the stomach. It
digests our food. Stomach

Together, the brain, heart, lungs and stomach are called internal organs,
because they are inside our body. We have many other internal organs also.
All our sense organs are outside our body, so they are called external organs.

Things To Remember
1. Brain controls all parts of the body. 3. Lungs help us to breathe.
2. Heart is the pumping organ. It 4. Stomach digests the food.

We love our father, mother, brother, sister and grandparents. They always
take care of us. They are our family.
So, we can say that a group of people living together who are connected to
each other by birth or marriage, form a family.

TYPES OF FAMILIES
Families can be of many types. The most common
families are, nuclear and joint family.
Nuclear family is a family in which father,
mother and their children live together.
It is a small family.

Joint family is a family in which

grandparents, parents and their children
live together. It is a big family. Sometimes,
uncles, aunts and their children also live
together. Children of your uncle and aunt
are your cousins.
Joint family

single-parent families. There is only one parent
in such families.

Family – time!
Members of a family take care of each other. This is one very important thing
about family. Family members always support each other. Even if you fight
with your sister or brother, you should say sorry.
Parents look after their children. Your parents give you healthy food to eat
and buy toys and gifts for you.

Your sisters and brothers play with you.

They also study together and read
books together.

Grandparents spend time by telling

stories to their grandchildren. We learn
good manners from them. You should
spend some time with them every day.

Children also obey their parents. They help

their parents whenever they can by setting
up the table, tidying up their room, taking
the pet for a walk, etc.
