THE HUMAN BODY

Chapter 3 Lesson 1
The Human Body
•Did you know your body is like a machine?
• It carries out many different jobs at the same time!
• It consists out of many different parts or systems.
 Main Idea
Your body has many organ
systems that transport
materials and information
so you can do your life
processes.
Lets review
•What is the smallest unit of life in the human
body?

a cell
Group of
similar cells

Organs work
Carry out a together as
specific function Consist out of part of an
different tissues organ system
Organ Systems of the Human Body
System Function
Skeletal System support
Muscular System movement
Respiratory System oxygen/carbon dioxide exchange
Circulatory System transport
Excretory System waste removal
Nervous System control
Digestive System food absorption
Immune System protection
Integumentary System protection
Endocrine System regulation and control
Reproductive System reproduction
Organ Systems of
the Human Body
The Nervous System
•The brain
•The spinal cord
•Nerves
•Carries messages to the brain and from the
brain
• Carries messages from your sense organs (eyes, ears, nose,
tongue and skin) to the brain.
The brain
The Spinal Cord
The nerves
Skeletal System
•Helps the body move
•Gives the body its shape
•Protects vital organs
•206 bones
Muscular System
•Helps the body move
• Together with the skeletal system

•Made up of muscles
• Attached to bones
• Move bones

•Some organs are also made of muscle

• heart
Integumentary System
•Protects the body
• With the immune system
• From injury and infections

•Removes waste
•Skin
•Hair
•Nails
Immune System
•Protects and fights against:
• Disease
• Illness
• Special cells (white blood cells) that attack and kill disease
causing organisms like viruses and bacteria.
•Helps heal injuries

Endocrine System
•Produces chemicals (hormones)
• Glands secrete hormones
• Blood transports the hormones

•Hormones regulate and control body

functions
•Controls the reproductive system
Reproductive System
•Produces offspring
Digestive system
•Stomach
•Small and large intestines
•Liver
•Pancreas
•Breaks down food into nutrients
•These nutrients are transported by
blood to cells
•Cells absorb these nutrients
• Use these nutrients to function
Digestive system
Respiratory System
•Oxygen travels to the lungs
•Travels from lungs to blood
•Carbon dioxide travels from the
blood to the lungs
•Carbon dioxide moves out of the
lungs when we breath it out.
The Circulatory System
•Heart
•Blood vessels
•Blood
•Oxygen and nutrients are moved
to cells in the blood
•Waste products and carbon
dioxide are removed from cells
by blood.
Excretory System
•Removes waste from the body
•Kidneys
• urine

•Skin
• Sweat

•Lungs
• Carbon dioxide

•Blood transports (moves) waste products to kidneys, skin and

lungs to be excreted (removed from body)
Transport system

System What it transports

Digestive Nutrients
Respiratory Oxygen
Circulatory nutrients, oxygen, carbon
dioxide, and other waste
Excretory Carbon dioxide, other waste
and sweat

organs belong to?
