The body has five systems, let’s start with the digestive system. After chewing your food, you

The respiratory system makes breathing happen. The lungs bring oxygen into the body.
Another important system is the circulatory system. The heart sends blood around the body.
This is an artery, it is red because it carries blood that is full of oxygen. This is a vein; it is blue
because it has carbon dioxide.

Lesson
1. Read Pepe’s textbook and then match the sentences.
The adult human body has two hundred and six bones. The adult skeleton consists of the following bones:
Twenty eight skull bones (eight cranial, fourteen facial, and six ear bones.)
The hyoid bone in the neck is the only bone that does not articulate to another bone.
Twenty six vertebrae (seven cervical; twelve thoracic; five lumbar; the scrum, which is one single
bone made of five fused vertebrae; and the coccyx, which is one bone made of four fused
vertebrae.)
Twenty four ribs plus the sternum; two clavicles, the most frequently fractured bones in the body,
and two scapulae.
Two pelvic bones.
Thirty bones in each of the arms and legs (a total of one hundred and twenty.)
Blood is a vital liquid; the human body cannot function without it. Blood is responsible for carrying
oxygen and food to the body organs. Blood also takes waste and carbon dioxide away from these
organs. The human body contains approximately five to six liters of blood.
Blood is made up of three kinds of cells: red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
Red blood cells: are like flattened disks. They carry oxygen and waste products. There are
approximately 25 trillion red blood cells in a human body.
White blood cells: are oval and defend the body against infection. They travel in the
bloodstream to reach affected tissues. There are approximately 250 million white cells in a
healthy body.
Platelets: are tiny oval shaped cells made in the bone marrow; they help in the clotting process.
When a blood vessel breaks, platelets gather in the area and help seal off the leak. Platelets
survive only about nine days in the bloodstream and are constantly being replaced by new
cells.
