BELLRINGER: How many
body systems can you
name?
Body Organization
• Human Body
– Complex Machine
• City ( Buildings, transportation systems, Electrical energy)
• Working together
– Each part has role to play
– Contributes to the function of the other parts of the
body
– ** What happens to the body when a part is not
functioning properly?
Cells
• Simplest and most basic units of life
• Human Body vs. Bacteria
• Nucleus
– “brain” of cell
– Largest organelle of the cell
– Contains the DNA
Tissues
• A group of cells that are similar & work
together to perform a specific function
• 4 Types of Main Body Tissue :
– Epithelial ( Boundary)
• Protects body from moisture loss, bacteria, internal
injury
– Muscle ( movement)
– Connective Tissue ( Support & Structure)
– Nervous Tissue ( Messaging System)
Body Tissue

– 78
• Which organ is the largest?
– Skin
• What is the major organ of the body?
– Brain

Urinary System
Circulatory System
Respiratory System
Body System
Function
Nervous System
Controls & coordinates activities of the body systems
Endocrine System
Helps nervous system control and coordinate activities of the body;
helps regulate growth
Skeletal System
Provides a framework to support and protect the body
Muscular System
Works with the skeletal system to cause movement
Digestive System
Breaks down foods into simpler substances; transfers nutrients into
the blood; eliminates solid waste products so they can be eliminated
from the body; protects the body from disease
Circulatory System
Transports and distributes gases, nutrients, and hormones
throughout the body; collects and transports waste products so they
can be eliminated from the body; protects body from disease
Respiratory System
Exchanges oxygen from the environment and carbon dioxide from
the body
Urinary System
Filters liquid waste products from the blood and eliminates them
from the body
Body Systems Work Together
• Each system has a different function
– Work together and help on another
• Body systems depend on one another
– Perform their functions properly
• When working properly
– The body stays alive and is healthy

BRAINS?
Nervous System
• Body system that gathers and interprets
information about the body’s internal &
external environments and responds to that
information
Nervous System Components
•
•
•
•
Brain
Spinal Cord
Nerves
Sensory Organs ( eyes, ears, taste buds)
Nervous System
• Controls voluntary & involuntary activities
– Walking
– Talking
– Heart beat
• Also allows …
–
–
–
–
–
Seeing
Hearing
Smelling
Tasting
Detect pain & pressure
Nervous System controls
• Conducts electrical messages to & from
various parts of your body
– NERVE IMPULSES
• Carry information that help the organs and
body systems carry out their functions
correctly
The Brain
• Major organ
• Mass of nervous tissue that is located inside
your skull
Brain Impulses
• Sends impulses to different parts of the body
• Impulses contain information about your body
and about the world around you
– Constantly receiving impulses
• Your brain uses this information to
– Tell your body how to react to the environment
– Sending impulses to different body parts
Structure of Brain
• Cerebrum
• Cerebellum
• Brainstem
Cerebrum
•
•
•
•
Largest part of the brain

• Spinal Cord
– Bundle of nervous tissue that is about a foot and a half
long and is surrounded by your back bone
• Spinal cord Function
– Relay impulses between the brain and different parts
of the body
• Interpreting impulse
– Brain – spinal cord – body part
– Body part – spinal cord – brain
Peripheral Nervous System
(PNS)
• Composed of nerves that connect all parts of
your body to the CNS
• Uses nerves to control the actions of different
parts of the body
Nerves

BELLIRINGER: WHY DO
YOU THINK PEOPLE
ASSOCIATE LOVE WITH
THE HEART?
Circulatory System
• Made up of three parts
– Clean blood
– Help regulate the amount of waster in your body
• Functions
– Transport nutrients and gases to a different parts
of the body where they can be used by the cells
– Take waste materials from the cells to kidneys,
lungs, and skin, where wastes can be removed
Heart

– Platelets
– Red Blood Cells
– White Blood Cells
BLOOD VISUAL
Plasma
•
•
•
•
55% of blood
90% of plasma is water
Fluid
Carries nutrients, hormones, and waste
products from one part of the body to
another
Platelets
Solids
45% of blood
Carried by plasma
Cell fragments that help repair blood vessels
and form blood clots
• Made in bone marrow
• Clump together in the damaged area of body
•
•
•
•
– Forms blood clots & stops you from bleeding
Red Blood Cells ( RBCs)
• Most numerous blood cells
• Transport oxygen & carbon dioxide through
the body
• Hemoglobin
– Protein
– Oxygen & carbon dioxide attach
– Carries gases through the body
White Blood Cells ( WBCs)
• Large cells that help you stay healthy by
fighting infection and protecting the body from
foreign particles
Supply Lines
• Arteries
– Blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart
• Veins
– Blood vessels that carry blood to the heart
• Capillaries
– Microscopic blood vessels of the body that link the
arteries and veins
– Nutrients, carbon dioxide, and waste products enter
and leave the blood stream
Common Circulatory
