HUMAN BODY

AND IT’S SYSTEM

Human beings are debatably the most intricate
organisms on this planet. Imagine billions of
tiny parts, each with its own uniqueness,
functioning together in a systematized manner for
the advantage of the total being. The basic parts
of the human body are the head, neck, torso, arms
and legs, and billions of smaller structures of four
major kinds:
 Cells

Cells have long been documented as the simplest

units of living matter that can sustain life and
replicate themselves. The human body, which is
made up of various cells, originates as a single,
newly fertilized cell.
 Tissues

Tissues are rather more complex units than cells. By

classification, a tissue is an association of a great
countless similar cells with changing amounts and
kinds of nonliving, intercellular element between
them.
 Organs
Organs are more compound units than tissues. An organ is an
association of numerous diverse kinds of tissues so organized that
together they can perform an exceptional function. For instance,
the stomach is a group of muscle, connective, epithelial, and
nervous tissues. Muscle and connective tissues form its wall,
epithelial and connective tissues form its lining, and nervous
tissue extends all the way through both its wall and its lining.
 Systems

Systems are the furthermost complex of the

component units of the human body. A system is an
organization of varying numbers and kinds of organs
so organized that together they can complete complex
functions for the body. Ten major systems comprise
the human body:
1. Skeletal 6. Lymphatic
2. Muscular 7. Respiratory
3. Nervous 8. Digestive
4. Endocrine 9. Urinary
5. Cardiovascular 10. Reproductive
Fun Facts

The human body comprises nearly 100 trillion cells.

There are at least 10 times as many bacteria in the human body as cells.
The normal adult takes over 20,000 breaths a day.
Each day, the kidneys process about 200 quarts (50 gallons) of blood to
filter out about 2 quarts of waste and water
Adults expel about a quarter and a half (1.42 liters) of urine each day.
The human brain comprises about 100 billion nerve cells
Water makes up more than 50 percent of the normal adult's body weight
You use your eyes to see, your ears to hear and your muscles to do the
heavy lifting. Well, sort of. In fact, most body parts are far more complex
than that, whereas some seem to have no business being inside there at
all.
 “Man is not born to solve the problem of the
universe, but to find out what he has to do; and to
restrain himself within the limits of his
comprehension.”

― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
