 The Skeletal System
• A skeleton is a frame that holds up your body. It is
made up of bone and cartilage. Bones make up the
hard part of your skeleton. All vertebrates have a
skeletons. Vertebrates are all animals with a back bone.
Healthy Hints! If you exercise your bones every day, they will become stronger!

 The Skeletal System (Part 2)
• The skeletal system is a series of bones. These
bones protect our organs heart, lungs, etc. All
of those bones hold up your whole entire
body! If you didn’t have bones, you would flop
around like a jelly fish. When you break bones,
It takes a long time to heal. Try not to break
bones. Your skeleton is very important.

 Muscles of the Body
• Your muscles are what make you strong!
Muscles are what allow you to bend your
arms and legs. They can expand and
contract. If you didn’t have muscles, your
heart wouldn’t beat because muscles keep
your heart beating. Muscles are essential to
everyday life.

• HEALTHY HINTS!!! EXERSIZE YOUR MUSCLES EVERY

DAY AND YOUR MUSCLES WILL BE STRONGER!

 Muscles of the Body (Part 2)
• Muscles hold your head up, that is a VERY important job.
There are about 640 skeletal muscles in the human body.
Some of your muscles act on their own, like your heart. While
others, you control. Thousands of rubber band like fibers
make them up. http://www.innerbody.com/image/musfov.html

your blood and guts in. Your
skin also allows you to have a
sense of touch. Also, it keeps
your body at just the right
temperature.

 The Skin (Part 2)
Your skin has three layers the
epidermis, the dermis, and the
subcutaneous layer. The epidermis Is
translucent and has no blood vessels.
The dermis nourishes the epidermis
and contains hair glands. it also holds
sweat glands and blood vessels. The
subcutaneous layer is an energy
reserve for the body and it stores fat.
 The Nervous System
• The nervous system connects
the brain to the spinal
cord. This takes messages
from your brain to all of
the rest of your body and
tells them when to move.
Neurons send signals to
other cells, that is how
they know how to move.
Neurons travel along axons.
 The Nervous System (part 2)
The nervous system is made up of your brain, spinal cord, and a
network of nerves that go through your whole entire body. It
controls your body. Neurons carry messages to and from different
parts of your body using a type of electricity! Neurons are shaped
like flat stars!

Healthy Hints!!!!! To calm your nerves, take a deep breath!

 The Digestive System
• Your digestive system is an essential part to every day life.
When you eat, it turns the food into mush. This helps your
body because when the food goes on to your stomach, it can’t
handle big chunks of food.

• Healthy Hints!!!!!!!!
• Try to eat fruit often so you don’t get constipated

 The Digestive System (Part 2)
Your digestive system is made up of
the digestive tract. The digestive
tract is a series of hollow organs.
These organs are joined to a
hollow tube that goes from the
mouth to the anus. The organs that
make up the digestive tract are the
mouth, esophagus, stomach, and
the small intestine. The digestive
tract has a layer of smooth muscle
that helps break down food.

 The Circulatory System
You can’t live without your circulatory system. It pumps
blood through your body and that is very needed. Your
heart is behind all of that pumping. There are arteries
and veins that go to your body from your heart and
from your heart to your body. The arteries carry blood
with oxygen and the veins carry blood without oxygen.
You wouldn’t be alive without your circulatory system.
Healthy Hints!!!!!!!
If you eat junk food, your
arteries will get blocked and
you could have a stroke.

The Circulatory System (Part 2)
• Your circulatory system is made up of
blood vessels and the muscles that help
control the blood flow around your
body. The main parts of it are heart,
veins, capillaries, and arteries. The
blood leaves the heart and goes to the
aorta. When the blood leaves the aorta,
it is full of oxygen. The oxygen blood
travels through your body. When it
comes back to the heart, it drops off
carbon dioxide and picks up oxygen
from your lungs.

 The Respiratory System
• Your respiratory system is how you breathe! When
you breathe in air through your mouth or nose it
goes to your lungs and puts oxygen in your blood.
Your blood needs oxygen, as you read in “The
Circulatory System”. Your life would be very bad if
you didn’t have your respiratory system.

http://library.thinkquest.org/5777/resp1.htm
 The Respiratory System (Part2)
• We breathe to get rid of carbon dioxide and to take in oxygen.
The oxygen goes to your blood cells. The respiratory system
includes airways, lungs, and respiratory muscles. Without your
respiratory system, you wouldn’t be able to talk!

• Healthy Hints!!!!! Don’t put anything in or near your mouth

that is not food because you could inhale it and choke.
 The Heart
• Your heart is very
important. It keeps the
blood pumping through your
body. It sends blood
without oxygen to your
lungs and blood with oxygen
to the rest of your heart.
• Healthy Hints!!!!!! Keep
active so you don’t have a
heart attack.
 The Heart (Part2)
• Your heart is a muscle that pumps blood
through your body using steady contractions.
If it is healthy, it will beat approximately 72
times per minute. The main parts of your heart
are the left ventricle, right ventricle, left
atrium, right atrium, and the pulmonary artery.
