The Human Body
After today, you will be
able to answer:
What are we made of?
How are we organized?
Study of the Human Body
• Called anatomy and physiology
• Anatomy- study of the shape of an organism
and its parts
– Ex: What are the size and shape of our lungs?
• Physiology – study of the function of an
organism and its parts
– Ex: What do our lungs do for our bodies?
Remember!
• What are all living organisms made of?
Cells!!!!
Levels of organization
• We are living organisms and are also made out of
cells
LEVELS
EXAMPLE
• A group of cells make a tissue
cardiac tissue

Organ Systems
• There are 11 main
organ systems in
the human body…
• Which ones can you
name?
Organ systems

Nervous
Skeletal
Muscular
Circulatory
Digestive
Respiratory
Integumentary (Skin)
Excretory (Waste)
Endocrine (Hormones)
Reproductive
Immune (fights disease)
All of these systems
work together to help
you function!!

Nervous system
• Responsible for process
information from the
environment
– Senses: taste, see, touch, etc.
• Also to send messages from
the brain to other organs
– Controls movement and
function
– Ex: tells your lungs to inhale
and keeps your heart beating
• Made of special cells- neurons
Skeletal system
• Gives your body shape and
structure
• Protects internal organs
– Ex: rib cage and heart
• Attaches to muscular
system – to help with
movement
• Made of bones, ligaments
and tendons
Muscular System
• Provides movement
• Attached to skeletal
system
• Two types of muscles:
• Voluntary
– Ex: you kick your leg
• Involuntary
– Ex: your heart beating
– Ex: Your stomach
moving food
Circulatory System
• Moves blood through the
body
• Transports oxygen from
lungs to other organs
• Made of heart, arteries,
capillaries and veins
• Arteries- blood flows
away from heart
• Veins- blood flows to the
heart
Digestive System
• Breaks down food to
chemicals that our body
can use
• Starts with the mouth!
– Ex: chewing and digesting
• This provides energy for
your body!
