N What is it

The human body is a wonderful machine. Everything works together to keep the body
alive and functioning well. Our body is made up of organs that work together in an orderly
way to perform a specific function. A group of body organs working together to perform a
function is called an organ system.
The Musculoskeletal System
The musculoskeletal system is an organ system that gives human ability to move using
muscular and skeletal system. Your bones, joints, cartilage, ligaments, muscles, and tendons
make up your musculoskeletal system.

 A bone is a tough structure in the body that is made up of connective tissues
surrounded by minerals. An infant has 350 bones, a child has 208 bones and a normal adult
has 206 bones. The bones support and give shape to the body. Without them the body will
collapse. Bones also protect the soft tissues and the organ of the body. The skull protects
the brain; the ribs protect the heart and lungs; and the backbone protects spinal cord. Bones
contain a soft tissue called bone marrow that produces red blood cells.
To allow motion, different bones are connected by joints. Joints are held together by
connective tissues that can stretch called ligaments. In order to make movement easier, the
ends of the bones are covered with a layer of cartilage with fluid in the space between them
to protect joints and facilitates movement.
Muscles keep bones in place and also play a role in the movement of bones. A
tendon is a band of tissue that connects muscle to the bone. Muscles contract to move the
bone attached at the joint. Muscles that move your bones work in pairs. When one
contracts, the other must relax.

Integumentary System
The integumentary system consists of the skin, hair, nails and nerves. Its main
function is to act as barrier to protect the body from the outside world. It also eliminates waste
products and regulates body temperature.
The skin is the main organ of the integumentary
system. It is the first defense mechanism in your immune
system. Tiny glands in the skin secretes oil that increase
the function of the skin to protect it against infections.
The skin consists of three layers: epidermis, dermis, and
subcutaneous fatty tissue.
Epidermis is the outer layer of the skin which acts
as a barrier of light and heat energy and protects the
body from water loss, microorganism and many
chemicals. Dermis is the thickest layer of the skin. It
nourishes the epidermis. The oil glands in the dermis
produce oil that lubricates the skin and hair which

and dirt. The deepest layer is the subcutaneous fatty https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/legalcode

tissue. It insulates the body from cold and stores energy Parts of the Skin
in the form of fats.
Hair is a slender, flexible structure found on the surface of the skin. The human body
is covered with hair except on the palms of the hand and soles of the feet. Hair regulates
body temperature. It traps more warmth when standing up and less when lying flat. A small
muscle erector contracted in response to cold, fera and excitement thus the hair becomes
more erect producing small bumps on the surface of the skin called goose bumps or goose
pimples.
Nails at the tips of the fingers and toes are merely hardened and thickened
epidermis. They protect the tips of the fingers and toes from abrasion and injuries. Nails are
protected by cuticles.

Digestive System
Food provides energy to our body. But our body cannot use this energy from food
unless it is broken in a simple form. The process of changing food from a complex form to a
simple form which the body can use is called digestion.
The digestive system consists of the mouth, esophagus, small instestine, and
accesoory organs which include the salivary gland, gall bladder, liver and pancreas.
Digestion starts in the mouth. When you chew, the
saliva in the mouth moisten the food and help to digest it.
When you swallow the tongue pushes the chewed food to the
back of the mouth and into the throat down to the esophagus
through the peristalsis movement (motion of the muscles
that tighten and relax). Then the food that enters the stomach
is now a soft mass. The lining of the stomach has many
glands called gastric glands that contain enzymes which help
in the digestion of proteins.
Before the food reaches the small intestine, it is
mixed with fluid from the liver and the pancreas. The liver
produces bile which is stored in the gallbladder. The bile heps
digest fats. The pancreas releases pancreatic juice that
helps in the digestion of carbohydrates, fats and proteins. In
the small intestine final digestion takes place. The digestives
juices changes the food into soluble substances that can pass https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Digestive_system_s
implified.svg

trough the villi, the fingerlike projections. From the villi,the

Digestive System
digested food goes through the bloodstream and is distributed
to all parts of the body.
The undigested food moves to the large intestine. The walls of the large intestine
absorbs water that leaves a solid mass.This waste collects at the rectum and is carried out
in the anus when the sphincter muscle contracts.The solids becomes feces and the liquid
becomes urine.
Circulatory System
The circulatory system is responsible for the transport of water,nutrients and oxygen
to the body cells. It also eliminates wastes from the body.The circulatory system consists of
three major parts: the heart, the blood and the blood vessels.
The heart is a hollow, muscular organ about the size
of a fist that pumps blood continuously throughout the body.It
has four chambers:the left and right atria in the upper
chamber; and the left and right ventricles in the lower
chamber. The atria are the receiving chambers. When the
atria contracts, blood is pumped into the ventricles. The
ventricles are the pumping chambers of the heart. When
they contract, oxygen-rich blood is forced away from the heart
for the distribution to the different body parts. The valves in
the heart prevent the blood from flowing back.

 The blood vessels are hollow tubes that permit the blood to flow from the heart to the
body cells The three kinds of blood vessels are the arteries, veins and capillaries. Arteries
have thicker walls because the blood flowing through them is flowing rapidly under very high
pressure since it has just come from the heart. Arteries branch out into tinier tubes called
arterioles which end up in capillaries. It is in the capillaries that exchange of oxygenated and
deoxygenated blood takes place. Veins transport blood back to the heart.

The blood is the transport sytem of the body. After it is pumped from the heart, it
carries the essential supplies all over the body. Blood is composed of plasma, red and white
blood cells and platelets. The red blood cell carries oxygen and nutrients; the white blood
cells fight againts infection and the platelets help in clotting of the blood.

How Does Blood Flow Through the Heart?

The left atrium receives oxygen rich-
blood from the lungs. The blood flows down to
the left ventricle through the mitral valve. The
atria contracts and pushes the blood into the
ventricle, then the ventricle contracts pushing
the blood into the arteries through the aortic
valve. The arteries carry the blood to all parts of
the body. After delivering the oxygen and the
nutrients to the cells of the body, the blood goes
back to the heart contains carbon dioxide and
wastes substances is transportred by the veins
from the different parts of the body to the right
atrium. Blood passes through the right atrium
into the right ventricle through the tricuspid
valve. As the right ventricle contracts, it pushes
the blood into the lungs passing through the
pulmonary valve and in the pulmonary arteries.
