Digestive System
• Major functions of digestive system function of the digestive system is digestion and absorption.
Digestion is the breakdown of food into small molecules, which are then absorbed into the body. The
digestive system is divided into two major parts: The digestive tract (alimentary canal) is a continuous
tube with two openings: the mouth and the anus.
• Diagram that includes the major parts - mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, liver,
Endocrine System
• Major functions of endocrine system endocrine system is made up of glands that produce and
secrete hormones,
• Describe what hormones are and what they do A hormone is any member of a class of signaling
molecules produced by glands in multicellular organisms that are transported by the circulatory system
to target distant organs to regulate physiology and behaviour.
• Diagram that includes the major parts - hypothalamus, pituitary, thymus, thyroid, parathyroid,
adrenals, pancreas, ovaries, and testes - and list the function(s) of each. Hyopthalamus controls hunger
ans thirst pituitary is growth control thymus are t cells for immune system thyroid is metabolism
parathyroid controls calcium levels adrenals produce sex hormones pancreas digestion and endocrine
chemical message sender ovaries is a female reproductive system testes male reproductive system
• Explain how your body system works with other systems in the body. Use at least 2 examples.
The heart works with the muscular system the muscular system works with the nervous system
• Describe 2 diseases associated with your body system. Celiac disease
Cholera
Excretory System
Major functions of excretory system s responsible for the elimination of wastes produced by
homeostasis. There are several parts of the body that are involved in this process, such as sweat glands,
the liver, the lungs and the kidney system. Every human has two kidneys.
• Diagram that includes the major parts - lungs, kidneys, urinary bladder, ureter, urethra, liver,
and skin - and list the function(s) of each. Lungs provide breathing kidneys filters blood urinary bladder
controls pee ureter urine passes through kidney urethra conveys semen liver tests blood skin keeps you
safe from diseases
• Explain how your body system works with other systems in the body. You will need at
least 2 examples. The liver works with kidneys and the bladder works with urethra
Muscular System
• Major functions of muscular system
Mobility
Stability
Posture
Circulation
Respiration
• Describe the function and locations of each type of muscle – skeletal muscle, smooth
muscle, and cardiac muscle
Cardiac muscle tissue is to pump blood throughout the body and is located by the heart
The smooth
muscle in the uterus helps a woman to push out her baby. In the bladder, smooth muscle helps
to push out urine. Smooth muscle determines the flow of blood in the arteries.
a muscle that is connected to the skeleton to form part of the mechanical system that moves the
limbs and other parts of the body.
• Diagram that includes the major muscles in the body - biceps, oblique abdominis,
sartorius, deltoid, orbicularis oculi, sternomastoid, gastrocnemius, pectoral, temporalis, gluteus
maximus, quadriceps, tibialis, masseter, rectus abdominis, and triceps
• Describe how muscles work in pairs to make parts of the body move using the biceps
and triceps as an example.
When one muscle is contracted, the other muscle from the pair is always elongated.
• Explain how your body system works with other systems in the body. You will need at
least 2 examples.
Cardiovascular and Respiratory Systems
Endocrine and Immune Systems
• Describe 2 diseases associated with your body system.
Cholera:A bacterial disease causing severe diarrhea and dehydration, usually spread in water.
Celiac disease:An immune reaction to eating gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye.
• Description and major functions of the central nervous system and peripheral nervous
system.
CNS is responsible for integrating sensory information and responding
accordingly.
The main function of the PNS is to connect the CNS to the limbs and organs,
essentially serving as a relay between the brain and spinal cord and the rest of the body.
•Diagram that includes the major parts - brain, spinal cord, nerves, and neurons - and list the
function(s) of each.
• Describe the path a nerve impulse travels throughout your body from stimulus to
response.
interneurons—connect sensory and motor neurons and interpret the impulse; only in
the brain and spinal cord. When a stimulus is received by a sensory neuron, the impulse
is carried through fibrous extensions called dendrites to the cell body
• Explain how your body system works with other systems in the body. You will need at
least 2 examples.
There are eight systems in the human body. Each system relies on the other to keep the
body functioning. The systems of the body includes the circulatory, immune, skeletal,
excretory, muscular, endocrine, digestive, nervous and respiratory.
• Describe 2 diseases associated with your body system.
• Diagram that includes the major parts -bones, ligaments, and tendon - and list the
function(s) of each. NOTE: Your diagram should also include the following bones in the body:
cranium, clavicle, humerus, scapula, sternum, rib, vertebra, ulna, radius, carpals, metacarpals,
phalanges, pelvis (may list parts), femur, patella, tibia, fibula, tarsals, and metatarsals.
• Describe each of the following joints and where they are located: hinge, pivot, and ball-
and-socket. You may include other joints as well.
The six types of synovial joints are the pivot, hinge, saddle, plane, condyloid, and ball-
and-socket joints. ... Saddle and plane joints are found in your hands.
• Explain how your body system works with other systems in the body. You will need at
least 2 examples.
Your skeletal system is made up of cartilage and calcified bone that work together.
They help the process of movement happen in a smoother manner.
• Describe 2 diseases associated with your body system.
● Osteoporosis: This is a disease in which the bones become fragile and prone to
fracture.
● Leukemia: This is a cancer of the white blood cells.
What is homeostasis? Why is it important?
Answer: Humans' internal body temperature is a great example of homeostasis. When
an individual is healthy, his or her body temperature retains a temperature 98.6 degrees
Fahrenheit. Cells depend on the body environment to live and function. Homeostasis
keeps the body environment under control and keeps the conditions right for cells to live
and function. Without the right body conditions, certain processes (eg osmosis) and
proteins (eg enzymes) will not function properly.
