THE HUMAN BODY
A LOOK INTO THE HUMAN
ANATOMY AND IT’S
SYSTEMS
Our Amazing Body
• Human body is like a machine, in that
each part of the body has it’s own
job.
• These parts work together to keep
the body alive, much like the parts of
an automobile work to make it run.
• There are different systems that
make up the human body, let’s
explore!
SYSTEMS OF THE BODY
• The body is made up of several
different systems of organs. Each of
these systems has it’s own job, that
work together to keep the body
functioning. They are: Skeletal
System, Digestive, Urinary,
Respiratory, Circulatory, Nervous and
the Reproductive system.
SKELETAL SYSTEM
• Consists of 206
bones and hundreds
of muscles, which
helps the body
move.
• Skeleton has 2
main parts, the
axial skeleton, and
the appendicular
skeleton.
THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM
• Prepares food for
the cells
• Starts with the
mouth. Teeth and
saliva break food
down.
• Food travels to the
stomach where
cells absorb
nutrients.
THE RESPIRATORY
SYSTEM
• Includes, nose,
larynx, trachea and
lungs.
• System brings air
into the body and
removes the carbon
dioxide through
breathing.
• Muscles contract
to enlarge the
chest.
THE URINARY SYSTEM
• Involves the
Kidneys and
urethra.
• Removes waste
products from the
body, which can be
poisonous if they
are not removed.
CIRCULATORY SYSTEM
• Carries blood to
the body.
• The heart,
arteries, veins, and
capillaries make up
the system.
• Veins carry blood
to the heart.
• Arteries carry
blood away from
THE NERVOUS SYSTEM
• Regulates the
activities of all the
other systems.
• It has 5 major
regions, the spinal
cord, cerebrum,
cerebellum, pons,
and medulla
oblongata.
THE REPRODUCTIVE
SYSTEM(FEMALE)
• The female system
produces egg cells.
• When an egg is
fertilized it stays
in the uterus where
it develops into a
baby.
THE REPRODUCTIVE
SYSTEM(MALE)
• Consists of the
testes that
produce sperm.
• When sperm unites
with the egg of the
female,
fertilization
occurs.
