Basic Anatomy:Tissues, Organs, and Systems
Miss Van Heuven
There are many different types of cells in the human body. None of these cells would function well on their own, they are part of the larger organism that is
called --- you.
Tissue
Cells group together to form tissues A collection of similar cells Join together to perform a specific
function
Tissue
Tissues are 60-99% water with various dissolved substances
This water is slightly salty in nature and is called “tissue fluid”
Tissue
Dehydration= when there is an insufficient amount of tissue fluid
Edema= when there is an excess amount of tissue fluid
Dehydration of Tissue
Dehydration consequences: Deterioration of health Decrease in sports performance Depletion of energy Bad Mood!
Dehydration of Tissue
Quick Test: How fast does your skin bounce back?
Dehydration of Tissue
When you don’t get enough water, the effects can be devastating and even fatal!

Tissues
4 primary types of tissue in the human body: Epithelial Connective Muscle Nerve
Epithelial Tissue
Covers the surface of the body and is main tissue in the skin
Forms the lining of the intestinal, respiratory, circulatory, and urinary tracts
Connective Tissue
Adds support and structure to the body
2 main classifications: Soft Hard
Soft Connective Tissue
Type 1: Adipose (fatty) tissue Stores fat as a food reserve or source of
energy Insulates the body Fills empty areas and acts as padding
Type 2: Fibrous tissue Ligaments and tendons Help hold body structures together
Discussion: Soft Connective Tissue
Many sports require protective padding
Where is our body’s natural protective padding?
Hard Connective Tissue
Cartilage and bone Cartilage = tough, elastic material that
is found in between bones Cartilage acts as a shock absorber
(padding) and allows for flexibility
Hard Connective Tissue
Why is bone considered “connective tissue”?
Activity: Cartilage and Bone Feel and compare the following:
Jaw vs. Ear Cheek Points vs. Nose
Muscle Tissue
Special tissue that can contract and relax
Produces power and action by movement of muscle fibers
Types of Muscle Tissue
There are 3 main types: Skeletal (muscles
attached to bones for body movement)
Cardiac (muscles causing the heart to beat)
Smooth (muscles in the walls of respiratory, digestive, urinary tract, and blood vessels)
Nerve Tissue
Controls and coordinates the body by transmitting messages (electrical signals) throughout the body
Made of special cells called neuronsThe nerves, brains, and spinal cord
are composed of nerve tissue
Activity: Nerve Tissue
Walk around the room…when teacher says “stop” extend your arms and grab 2 shoulders (on different people)
Now let’s see if we can send a message through the entire chain like neurons!
Teacher Slide
Messages to send: “Don’t mess this up (last person in line’s
name)” “Only 5 weeks until Thanksgiving
break!”
Example of All Tissues in Use
You accidentally place your hand on the hot eye of the stove top: Nerve Tissue: sends message to brain
that hand must be quickly removed Muscle Tissue: contracts to make hand
move away from stove Soft Connective Tissue: acts as
padding and prevents deeper damage Epithelial Tissue: damaged skin cells
by extreme heat
Activity: Types of Tissue
Answer the questions by holding up the correct/corresponding number with your fingers 1.) Epithelial Tissue 2.) Connective Tissue 3.) Muscle Tissue 4.) Nerve Tissue
Teacher Slide
Ask the following questions to the class: The lining of your kidney The skin you are touching when you
apply lotion Flexing your huge biceps How messages get sent throughout the
body How your heart beats The bendable part of your ear Your shin bone
Organs
Organ = structure containing at least 2 types of tissue working together for a common purpose
Organs
Largest organ in the human body = SKIN!
3 layers of skin: Epidermis
▪ (Barrier between us and outside world) Dermis
▪ (Has blood vessels and nerves so we can feel things)
Subcutaneous▪ (Cushions the skin and protects us from the
cold)
Organ Systems (aka Body Systems)
A Body System is composed of organs working to accomplish something more complex than what a single organ can do on its own Body System = multiple organs
connected to accomplish a goal together
Organ Systems
11 Major Body Systems: Integumentary Muscular Skeletal Nervous Endocrine Circulatory Immune Lymphatic Respiratory Digestive Urinary Reproductive
Integumentary System
Consists of: Your SKIN!Helps protect your body from
invasionHelps regulate your body
temperature (sweating, shivering, hair growth, etc.)
Muscular System
Produces movementProtects internal organs and bonesProduces body heatMaintains postureConsists of:
Skeletal muscles Smooth muscles Cardiac Muscles
Muscular System
Voluntary vs. Involuntary Muscles Voluntary = we
control ▪ Skeletal Muscles
▪ Our brain sends messages via our Nervous System
Involuntary = we do not consciously control▪ Cardiac and Smooth
Muscles
Activity: Voluntary vs. Involuntary Muscles
Wiggle your toes and fingers Kick your legs Squeeze your gluteus muscles 5 times Wiggle your lungs Wiggle your ears Make your heart stop beating Pat your head while rubbing your belly
in a clockwise motion Reverse it!
Muscular System
How do our muscles move??? 1.) Muscles are connected to bones by
tendons 2.) Convert chemical energy into tension 3.) Produce movement simply by
shortening (contraction) and then lengthening (relaxation)
4.) Muscles pull, but they cannot push!
Muscular System
Skeletal System
This is the body’s frame Bones, ligaments, cartilage, tendons Provides support and structure
Helps to protect organs (ex: brain) Stores calcium, phosphorus, and produces blood cells
Skeletal System
2 parts of Skeletal System:
Axial Skeleton▪ Skull, vertebral column, rib cage▪ Protects organs, brain, nervoussystem
Appendicular Skeleton▪ Upper limbs, lower limbs, pelvic girdle▪ Makes motion possible

Nervous System
Coordinates and controls body activities
Sends electrical signals through body
Nervous System
Central Nervous System (CNS) Brain and spinal
cord
Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) Connects the CNS to
the rest of the body▪ Allows for motion and
sensation
Nervous System: Activity
Activity: 2 volunteers 1 student will be the “dummy” Teacher = Central Nervous System
(creating messages to be delivered) Other student = Peripheral Nervous
System (receiving messages and carrying them out in the body)
Teacher Slide
(Student) wakes up in the morning and starts to walk to school
(Student) looks at his/her watch and realizes he/she is late! So they he/she starts to run
(Student) hears his/her favorite song playing from Miss V’s Jeep….so he/she starts to dance
(Student) starts to eat his/her cali burrito while dancing
(Student) see a hot boy/girl passing and gives him/her his/her sexy pose

Endocrine System
Produces and secretes hormones to regulate body processes
Endocrine System
Glands = group of cells that secrete (give off) chemicals
Hormones: Regulate mood, growth, and
development Allow reproductive processes Control metabolism
Endocrine System
Major parts: Hypothalamus Pineal Body Pituitary Thyroid and
Parathyroid Pancreas Adrenal Reproductive
(Testes or Ovaries)
Endocrine System: Assignment
Go to the following website:http://kidshealth.org/teen/
your_body/body_basics/endocrine.html#
1.) List each part of the Endocrine System
2.) Define where it is found in the body
3.) Describe it’s function (Ex: Hypothalamus = Found in the lower central part of
the brain, this portion of the Endocrine System is responsible for….)
Circulatory System
A.K.A: Cardiovascular System
Consists of: Heart and blood
vessels (Includes arteries
and veins) A pumping heart
forces blood to move in a circle throughout the system
Circulatory System
Blood: About 55% plasma
▪ (fluid containing water, proteins, sugar, hormones, etc.)
Carries oxygen and nutrients to entire body
Carries waste products away from cells
Helps produce cells to fight infection
Has clotting agents
Circulatory System
Our bodies actually have 2 Circulatory Systems: Systemic
▪ Carries oxygenated blood from heart to the rest of the body
▪ Returns deoxygenated blood back to heart Pulmonary
▪ Carries deoxygenated blood from heart to the lungs
▪ Returns oxygen-rich blood to the heart
Circulatory System Activity
Let’s exercise our Circulatory System!

Respiratory System
Breathes in oxygenEliminates carbon dioxide
Respiratory System
Primary function = supply blood with oxygen that will be delivered to all parts of body
Consists of: Nose and mouth Trachea/Throat Bronchi Alveoli Lungs
Respiratory Activity

Lymphatic System
Consists of: Lymph nodes Lymph vessels Bone marrow Spleen Thymus
Lymphatic System
Filters lymph Lymph = white watery fluid that is
removed from blood during “cleaning process”
Collects and transfers fluids and plasma back into bloodstream
Assists with fighting infection
Lymphatic System

Immune System
Works with Lymphatic System
Our body’s defense system against disease and infection
Immune System
3 types of responses to danger (in the order they occur): Anatomic response
▪ Physically prevents substances from entering body▪ Ex: skin, stomach acid, membrane around organs, etc.
Inflammatory system▪ Pushes the invaders out of your body
▪ Ex: sneeze, cough, runny nose, fever, swelling
Immune response▪ White blood cells fight infection
▪ Works with Lymphatic System to filter out bacteria/infection
Immune System
Leukocytes (White blood cells) = our soldiers that fight the “bad guys”
White blood cells made by bone marrow
Immune System: Activity
1 volunteer will fight off invading bacteria
Then 5/more volunteers will join powers to fight off that same bacteria
The system is strong: white blood cells, anatomic response, inflammatory response, etc.

Digestive System
Digests food (physically and chemically)
Transports food Absorbs nutrients
and converts to energy
Eliminates waste
Digestive System
Food’s path: Saliva and teeth
slightly break down food
Esophagus = stretchy 10 inch pipe connecting back of throat to stomach
Epiglottis = flap that covers your windpipe
Stomach = shaped like letter “J” stores and breaks food down into liquid
Digestive System
And the path continues: Small Intestine: NOT
SMALL! (Adult = 22 ft when stretched out)
Extracts good stuff from food with help from Liver, Pancreas, and Gall Bladder
Nutrients then go to Liver and are mixed into blood
Waste moves on to Large Intestine
Digestive System
And continues…. Large Intestine is fatter,
but not longer than the small intestine
Appendix = at the end, but no real function
Colon = last chance to absorb nutrients (including H20)
So material becomes hard… i.e: poop!
Exits via the Rectum and finally the Anus
Digestive System

Urinary System
Filters blood to maintain fluid and electrolyte balance in the body
Produces and eliminates urine
Urinary System
You drink…you pee… but it is more complex than that: **Kidneys: filter waste from blood and
produce urine Ureters = 2 thin tubes that take urine
from kidneys to Bladder Bladder = a sac that holds urine until it
is time to go Urethra = a tube that carries urine out
of the body
Urinary System
Urinary System: Video

Reproductive System
Provides for reproductionDifferent for males and females
Reproductive System
Main male parts: Testes (where sperm are produced) and
Penis Vas deferens (tube) carries semen (fluid
containing sperm) into abdominal cavity and then out of the ejaculatory duct
Main female parts: Vagina, uterus (receptacle for semen),
and ovaries (produce the ova) Vagina is attached to uterus by cervix Uterus is attached to ovaries by fallopian
tubes
Reproductive System
Fertilization = 2 types of sex cells (gametes) meet in the female reproductive organ: Sperm (male) and
Egg/Ovum (female)
Sperm combines with egg cell
Characteristics passed onto offspring through genes
