LEARNING OBJECTIVES
1. EXPLAIN THE FUNCTION AND PARTS OF DIFFERENT
ORGAN SYSTEMS.

2. ANALYZE HOW ONE ORGAN AFFECTS THE OTHER

BODY SYSTEMS.

3. REALIZE THE EFFECT OF MENTAL HEALTH TO OUR

PHYSICAL HEALTH.
ORGAN SYSTEMS
SKELETAL SYSTEM
 It protects, provides
form and structure.
 It produces blood cells
in the bone marrow
 Made up of 206
separate different
shapes and sizes of
bone. Main

 MUSCULAR SYSTEM

 Moves organs and body parts

There are three types of muscle cells:

1.Skeletal- voluntary (you can control these)
2.Smooth-involuntary (can’t consciously control)
3.Cardiac- is a type of smooth muscle that makes up the heart, which is also involuntary.

DIGESTIVE SYSTEM
 Breaks down food into usable form
 Mechanical digestion occurs mainly in the
mouth and stomach, which breaks down food
into small pieces.
 Chemical digestion breaks down food even
further chemically into simple sugars (for
carbohydrates), amino acids (for proteins),
fatty acids, and glycerol (for fats).

CIRCULATORY SYSTEM
 
Purpose: Carries and transports needed
materials to body cells and waste materials
away from cells.
Blood-transports materials throughout the
body
Three types of blood vessels:
1. Arteries- carry blood away from the heart
2. Veins-carry blood to the heart
3.Capillaries- connect arteries to veins
 
RESPIRATORY SYSTEM

 Exchanges gases with the

environment
 It includes your airways, lungs,
and blood vessels.
 These parts work together to
move oxygen throughout the
body and clean out waste gases
like carbon dioxide.
EXCRETORY SYSTEM

 Excretion is the way organisms get rid of

metabolic/harmful wastes.
 The kidneys for example remove wastes from
the blood.
 The liver is the most complex organ in the body
because it has so many important functions
such as making bile, a digestive juice.
 Skin is an excretory organ and the largest organ
in the human body.
 Perspiration (sweat) is released through sweat
pores. Main

NERVOUS SYSTEM

 Controls body activities; carries

and interprets messages
 Neurons are nerve cells that are the
basic unit of the nervous system.
 The primary role of the PNS is to
connect the CNS to the organs,
limbs, and skin.
 CNS is responsible for integrating
sensory information and responding
accordingly.
ENDOCRINE SYSTEM

 Regulates body activities with

hormones
 Hormones are chemical
messengers carried by the blood
that regulate and balance body
functions.
 Endocrine glands release
hormones into the blood stream.
 REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM

 Purpose: To produce offspring

 Ovaries are the female reproductive
organs.
 Testes are the male reproductive
organs.
 When fertilization of a woman’s egg
and a man’s sperm occur, an embryo
forms and grows in the woman’s
abdomen, and a baby is born within
about 40 weeks.
