Body Systems: A Journey
Through the Human Body
A Full-On Guide of The Human
Body's System
Made By : Omar.Y 8K
Fair warning : Only 4 body systems included.
Goals:
Understand Systems of the Human Body.
We will learn about : Nervous System,
Muscular system, Skeletal System and the
Respiratory System Plus Homeostasis!
Skeletal System
There are three main types of
bones: long bones, short bones,
and flat bones. Joints are the
places where two or more
bones meet. There are three
main types of joints: fixed
joints, hinge joints, and ball-
and-socket joints.
To care for your skeletal
system: eat a healthy diet, get
regular exercise, and avoid
smoking and alcohol
consumption.
Common skeletal problems:
fractures, osteoporosis, and
arthritis.
Skeletal System’s Functions
• Support: The skeletal system provides support for your body
and helps it keep its shape.
• Protection: The skeletal system protects your internal organs
from injury.
• Movement: The skeletal system allows you to move by
working with your muscles.
• Production of blood cells: Red blood cells are produced in the
bone marrow, which is found in the center of some bones.
• Storage of minerals: Bones store minerals such as calcium and
phosphorus, which are important for your overall health.
Nervous System
The nervous
system is the
body's control
center. It sends
and receives
signals that control
all of the body's
functions, from
thinking and
feeling to moving
and breathing.
Nervous System Function
• Sensory: The nervous system receives and
interprets sensory information from the
environment and from within the body. This
includes information such as sight, hearing,
smell, taste, touch, pain, temperature, and
body position.
Respiratory System
The respiratory system is the system
of organs that helps us breathe. It is
made up of the nose, mouth, throat,
windpipe, lungs, and diaphragm.
The respiratory system works by
taking in oxygen from the air and
delivering it to the blood. The blood
then carries the oxygen to all of the
cells in the body. The cells use the
oxygen to produce energy and
carbon dioxide. The blood then
carries the carbon dioxide back to
the lungs, where it is exhaled.
The respiratory system is essential
for life. It allows us to get the
oxygen that we need to survive and
to expel the carbon dioxide that is
produced by our cells.
Respiratory System and its Organs
• Nose: The nose is the first part of the respiratory system. It filters the
air that we breathe and warms it up.
• Mouth: The mouth is another way that we can breathe. It is also used
for eating and speaking.
• Throat: The throat is a tube that connects the nose and mouth to the
windpipe.
• Windpipe: The windpipe is a tube that carries air from the throat to
the lungs.
• Lungs: The lungs are two spongy organs that are located in the chest.
They contain millions of tiny air sacs called alveoli. The alveoli are
where oxygen is exchanged for carbon dioxide.
• Diaphragm: The diaphragm is a muscle that is located below the
lungs. It helps to move air in and out of the lungs.
Muscular System.
The muscular system is
responsible for movement,
posture, protection, and heat
production. It is made up of
three types of muscle:
skeletal, smooth, and cardiac.
Skeletal muscle is attached to
bones and allows us to move
our limbs and body. Smooth
muscle is found in the walls
of internal organs and helps
to control their movement.
Cardiac muscle is found in
the heart and is responsible
for pumping blood
throughout the body.
Muscular System and its Functions!
• Movement: The muscular system allows us to move our limbs
and body. This includes voluntary movements, such as
walking and talking, and involuntary movements, such as
breathing and digestion.
• Posture: The muscular system helps to maintain our posture
by keeping our bones and joints in alignment.
• Protection: The muscular system helps to protect our internal
organs from injury. For example, the abdominal muscles
protect the organs in the abdomen.
• Heat production: The muscular system produces heat as a
byproduct of muscle contraction. This heat helps to regulate
our body temperature.
How are Structure and function Linked?
• Structure and function are linked in the sense
that the shape and arrangement of the parts
of an object or system determine how it
works. In other words, the way that something
is built determines what it can do.
Teamwork Makes the Dream work!

D!
• Homeostasis is in charge of keeping the human
body’s temperature fixed!
• When the teacher turns the AC temperature colder,
you will start to shiver! And when he turns it back to
hot, you will sweat! If he keeps it in-between, it
would be just right!
What can possibly go wrong with
Homeostasis?
• If one body system doesn’t work properly,
then other body systems can be AFFECTED!
• For example, lack of food, cells blood,
nutrients, would lead to System Failure!
• Toxins can prevent cells from carrying out life
process and pathogens can break down cells!
