Cell• Made of organelles
• Basic unit of life
• Different types of cells have different
functions
• LIVING

System
Organism
Cells are organized in tissues. Different tissues working together
to perform a particular job are called organ. Groups of organs that work together to complete a
series of tasks are called a system. Many systems working together make up an organism.
Tissue
What is homeostasis?
Homeostasis (Greek for “staying the same”) is a process by which the body maintains a stable internal environment.
All of your body's systems work together maintain homeostasis inside of your body.
Skeletal System What is the skeletal
system?Bones, cartilage, joints and
other structures. What is the function?
give us shape and support Enables us to move protect our internal organsStore calcium, minerals
and fatProduce blood cells

Joints and ligaments
Joints are the place where two bones meet.
Ligaments are the tissue that connect bones to other bones.
Muscular System

What is a muscle? Made of strong tissue that can contract
in an orderly way. Function:
Attached to bones to provide support and balance
Protect your body Helps body maintain a constant
temperature.
Voluntary vs. Involuntary muscles
Voluntary - muscles are the ones that you can control. Some examples include your muscles to move your
arm or legs. Involuntary muscles don't need the brain to send
them messages. Some examples are: the muscles in your heart, the
muscles in your digestive system which move food down to your stomach and The tiny muscles at the bottom of the hairs on your arms which make your hairs stand up when you are cold, or suddenly feel scared.
Types of muscles
Cardiac – involuntary muscle that is found only in the heart
Skeletal – the type of muscle that attaches to bone.
Smooth – involuntary muscles. Contraction of the smooth muscles help move material through the body such as food in the stomach or controls the movement of blood through vessels.
Homeostasis Muscular system helps the body maintain
homeostasis by:Muscle contractions help to keep your body warmHeart muscles contract more often during
exercise to get more oxygen to your cells and release carbon dioxide.
Function: to turn the food you eat into useful energy for your body.
4 steps of the digestive system
Digestive System
• Ingestion – the act of eating or putting food in your mouth
• Digestion – the mechanical and chemical breakdown of food into small particles and molecules that your body can absorb.
• Absorption – nutrients and water are taken in by cells
• Elimination – removal of undigested food and other waste from the body
The digestive system maintains homeostasis
by providing nutrients (fuel)
for all other body systems.
Digestive System & Homeostasis
Excretory System
Function: collects and eliminates
wastes from the body and
regulates the level of fluid in the body.
Several different body systems make up the
excretory system.
Types of Excretion
Urinary System processes, transports, collects and removes liquid waste
Respiratory System removes carbon dioxide and water vapor
Integumentary System (skin) secretes excess salt and water though the sweat glands.
Digestive System removes unused, solid waste
Respiratory Systemhttp://kidshealth.org/kid/htbw/RSmovie.html
Function: to bring oxygen into the body and get rid of carbon dioxide.
Parts of the Respiratory System include:PharynxLarynxTracheaBronchiLungsAlveoli
Maintaining Homeostasis
The muscular system (diaphragm) interacts with the respiratory system
(lungs) so you can breathe.
Circulatory System Also called your Cardiovascular
System Made up of the heart, blood
and blood vessels (arteries, veins, capillaries)
Your body's delivery system. Blood moving from the heart,
delivers oxygen and nutrients to every part of the body.
On the return trip, the blood picks up waste products so that your body can get rid of them
BloodFunction: Blood connects the circulatory system
with all other body systems. It transports substances throughout the body, helps protect
against infection and helps regulate your body’s temperature.
Parts of Blood Red Blood Cells – carry oxygen. White Blood Cells – fight infections. Platelets – help you stop bleeding. Plasma – yellow liquid that carries
nutrients, hormones and proteins.
Function of the Immune System
The immune system defends the body against germs and microorganisms every day.
Different parts of your body work together to keep pathogens (something that causes disease like bacteria, viruses or harmful chemicals) from making you sick.
Parts of the Immune System The immune system is made up of
special cells, proteins, tissues, and organs.
First Line of Defense Function: keeping germs from reaching parts
of the body.

Second Line of Defense
White blood cells – attack pathogens
Inflammatory response – cleans injured area and keeps infection from spreading.
Third Line of DefenseThird line
defenders called antibodies are
specific to foreign
substances antigens.
Vocabulary Definition
antigen A substance that causes an immune response
antibody Can attach to the antigen and make it useless
B cell Form and mature in the bone marrow and secrete antibodies into the blood
T cell Form in the bone marrow and mature in the thymus gland. They produce a protein antibody that becomes part of a cell membrane.
allergy An overly sensitive immune response to a common antigen.
What is ImmunityThe resistance to specific pathogen.
The immune system works to maintain homeostasis by protecting against invaders.
Lymphatic SystemThe Lymphatic System is part of the
immune system and helps destroy microorganisms that enter the body.
Functions of the Lymphatic System
absorbs some of the tissue fluid that collects around cells.
absorbs fats from the digestive system and transports them to the circulatory system.
filters dead cells, viruses, bacteria, and other unneeded particles from tissue fluid and then returns the tissue fluid to the circulatory system.
helps fight off illness and infections and includes structures in which white blood cells develop.
Lymphatic System and Homeostasis
regulating fluid buildup around cells.
supports the circulatory system by cleaning fluids and replacing them in the bloodstream.
supports overall health by helping fight infection.
The Nervous System
The Nervous System is the
part of an organism that
gathers, processes and
responds to information.
Parts of the Nervous System
The Central Nervous System the brainThe spinal cord
The Peripheral Nervous SystemSomatic system – controls the skeletal
musclesAutonomic system – controls smooth
and cardiac muscles
A dendrite receives information from another neuron or from another cell in your body.
The cell body processes that information The axon sends information out to another
neuron or cell in your body.
The Brain – the Control CenterFunction- It receives information, processes it
and sends out a response. It also stores information as memories.
3 parts – 3 functions
Cerebrum – controls memory, language and thought.
Cerebellum – coordinates voluntary muscle movement and regulates balance and posture. (stores information about those movements about riding a bicycle or tying a shoe)
Brain stem – controls involuntary functions.
(sneezing, swallowing and coughing)
