LEARNING GUIDE NUMBER 3
TOPIC: THE PARTS OF THE BODY (EXTERNAL)
The body is more than what you see when you look in the mirror – there are different parts that
have different jobs, but each part works together so you can eat, sleep, sit in class and play with
friends.
The body is a pretty amazing thing! While there’s lots happening on the outside that you can see,
such as scratching an itch, eating lunch with your friends at school and running outdoors, there’s
even more happening inside. Find out more about your bones and muscles, and about your five
senses and the nervous system.
TOP 10 FACTS ABOUT YOUR BODY
 You have five digits on each hand and each foot, making 10 fingers and 10 toes altogether.
 Each bit of our body is made up from cells, which are the tiniest form of life – like single Lego pieces.
 The parts of our body need blood in order to work properly – blood transports the nutrients
each cell needs, and takes away any rubbish.
 The heart keeps blood pumping throughout our body – the heart is one of our vital organs,
which means it helps keep us alive.
 Parts of your arm include your hand, wrist and elbow.
 Parts of your leg include your foot, ankle, shin and thigh.
 The parts of your body that help your arms twist around are called shoulders – your legs are
attached to hips.
 Your neck allows your head to move from side to side, so you can turn your face to look at
something.
 Your stomach sits inside your body, just below your chest and lungs, and above your
intestines.
 Parts of your face include your forehead, eyes, cheeks, ears, nose and mouth.

TOPIC: THE PARTS OF THE BODY (INTERNAL) Carácter mixto, calendario A
To survive and reproduce, the human body relies on major internal body organs to
perform certain vital functions. When two or more organs along with their associated structures work
together they become component parts of a body system.
SOME INTERNAL PARTS OF THE BODY

 The brain
The brain is the control centre of the nervous system and is located within the skull. Its functions
include muscle control and coordination, sensory reception and integration, speech production,
memory storage, and the elaboration of thought and emotion.
 The lungs
The lungs are two sponge-like, cone-shaped structures that fill most of the chest cavity. Their
essential function is to provide oxygen from inhaled air to the bloodstream and to exhale carbon
dioxide.
 The liver
The liver lies on the right side of the abdominal cavity beneath the diaphragm. Its main function is to
process the contents of the blood to ensure composition remains the same. This process involves
breaking down fats, producing urea, filtering harmful substances and maintaining a proper level of
glucose in the blood.
 The bladder
The bladder is a muscular organ located in the pelvic cavity. It stretches to store urine and
contracts to release urine.
 The kidneys
The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs located at the back of the abdominal cavity, one on each
side of the spinal column. Their function is to maintain the body’s chemical balance by excreting
waste products and excess fluid in the form of urine.
 The heart
The heart is a hollow, muscular organ that pumps blood through the blood vessels by repeated,
rhythmic contractions.
 The stomach
The stomach is a muscular, elastic, pear-shaped bag, lying crosswise in the abdominal cavity
beneath the diaphragm. Its main purpose is digestion of food through production of gastric juices
which break down, mix and churn the food into a thin liquid.
 The intestines
The intestines are located between the stomach and the anus and are divided into two major
sections: the small intestine and the large intestine. The function of the small intestine is to absorb
most ingested food. The large intestine is responsible for absorption of water and excretion of solid
waste material.

GENERAL FACTS ABOUT THE SYSTEMS OF OUR BODY

Our body contains trillions of cells – cells are the smallest recorded living things.
In addition to keeping our cells healthy and clean, our blood also works for our immune system and
contains antibodies and white blood cells that fight germs and diseases.
Vital organs are the parts of our body that we need to stay alive. These include the heart, brain,
lungs, kidneys, liver and pancreas.
Our body has symmetry – that means it looks the same on the left side as it does on the right side.
The body uses different systems to work properly. Some of these are:
 Circulatory system – how our blood moves around.
 Digestive system – how the food we eat turns into nutrients, fats and waste through our
stomach and intestines.
 Muscular system – how we move around; our muscles allow us to do everything from
walking and running to picking things up and laughing at jokes!
 Skeletal system – another term for the bones in our body, which together make up our
skeleton.
 Nervous system – how messages get sent around our body, through our brain, so we know
when we’re hungry, when something hurts, when something smells good and when
something feels soft
