The respiratory system helps us breathe. The digestive system helps us digest food.

We breathe in air through our nose,
the air goes down into our lungs and oxygen
is passed to the circulatory system.
We breathe in oxygen and breathe out
carbon dioxide.
We take in food through our mouth, it passes down
into our stomach and intestines.
The small intestine separates the nutrients from
the waste and the large intestine expels the waste.
Nutrients are passed to the circulatory system.

The eyes are the organs of sight. We can see different shapes, sizes and colours.

We protect our eyes with our eyebrows, eyelashes and eyelids. These stop sweat and dust.

HEARING TOUCH

Our skin is the organ we use to touch.

It is the largest organ in the human body.

Our ears are the organs of hearing. Our skin can tell us if something feels soft
or hard, hot or cold, rough or smooth.
They are very delicate. Earwax (sticky substance)
protects our ears from dirt and infection. Sensory nerves send this information to our brain.

nostrils and the olfactory nerve
sends the information to our brain.
