5. The Human Body Team
How does the body get the systems to work together?
To answer this question, we need to recall the organizational structure of multicellular organisms.

6. Levels Of Organization
CELLS
ATOMS
TISSUES
ORGAN SYSTEM
ORGANS
ORGANISM

7. The Human Body has 4 Main Types of Tissues

8. ORGAN
A group of tissues that work together to perform closely related functions.

9. Organ System . A group of organs that work together
to perform a single function .

10. There are 11 organ systems in the human body

11. Skeletal System Your skeleton has five major functions.
It provides shape and
support
Enables you to move
Protects your internal organs
Produces blood cells
Stores certain materials until your body needs them

12. Major Organs of the Skeletal System
Bones
Tendons connect bones to muscles.
Ligaments connect bone to bone.
Cartilage cushions places where bones connect and offers flexibility.

13. Muscular System
Your muscles control all movements of the body tissues, organs and bones.

14. Major Tissues of the Muscular System
Your body has
three types of
Muscle tissue.
skeletal muscle
smooth muscle
cardiac muscle

15. Circulatory System aka Cardiovascular System
The main functions is to transport
Oxygen
Nutrients
Waste
throughout the body

16. The main parts of the Circulatory System are:
Heart
Blood Vessels
Blood

17. Respiratory System
Your respiratory system moves oxygen from the outside environment into your body. It also removes carbon dioxide and water from your body.

18. Respiratory system are:
The Main Parts of the
Respiratory system are:
Nose
Mouth
Trachea
Lungs
Diaphragm

19. The Digestive System The main functions of the digestive system
Breaks down food into molecules the body can absorb.
Passes these molecules into the blood to be carried throughout the body.
Eliminates solid wastes from the body.

20. The Main Parts of the Digestive System are:

21. The Excretory System
Your excretory system collects wastes produced by cells and removes these wastes from your body. The removal process is known as excretion.
Each kidney is about 4 ½ inches long
Weight is 4 – 6 ounces
The urine output varies from 1 to 2 liters per day.

22. The Main Parts of the Excretory System

23. Integumentary System (it’s your skin)
Your Skin has many important functions:
Covers body and prevents water loss.
Protects body from injury and infection.
Helps regulate body temperature.
Eliminate wastes
Gathers information about the environment
Produces Vitamin D

24. Major Parts of the Integumentary System
Skin
Hair
Nails

25. Immune System It’s role is to protect you from foreign invaders.
Special cells react to each kind of pathogen with defensive tactics targeted
specifically at that type of
pathogen.
A pathogen is a
bacterium, virus, or other microorganism that can cause disease.

26. Specialized Immune System Cells
White blood cells that target specific
pathogens are called lymphocytes.
T-cells and B-cells are two major types of
lymphocytes. Each type has a specific job.
B- Cells
T- Cells

27. What are Antibodies?
Antibodies are special proteins that recognize and defeat invading pathogens.
Antibodies are made by the B-cells.
Once a pathogen is encountered by the B-cells it memorizes it and next time it encounters the pathogen it will have antibodies ready to fight the pathogen.

28. What are Antigens?
An antigen is any substance that when introduced into the body stimulates the production of an antibody immune response.
Antigens include:
Toxins
Bacteria
Foreign blood cells
Cells of transplanted organs.

29. Antigen – Antibody Diagrams
Each antibody binds to a specific antigen by way of an interaction similar to the fit between a lock and a key of enzyme activity.

30. What is Immunity?
Immunity is a state in which the body has sufficient defenses to fight infection, disease or invasion by pathogens.
Non- Specific Immunity refers to the defenses that are in place at all times and are not specific to the pathogen to which the system is responding.
Skin, mucous membranes, hairs in nose and ears, enzymes in mouth and tears in eyes.

31. Specific Immunity is a specific antibody response to the pathogen and has been acquired in one of several ways.
Antibodies were transferred from mother to fetus across the placenta.
Antibodies were transferred through breast milk from mother to child.
Antibodies were built up due to prior exposure to the pathogen.
Antibodies were built up through a vaccination process.

32. What is a Vaccination?
Most vaccines contain a little bit of a disease germ that is weak or dead. Vaccines DO NOT contain the type of germ that makes you sick.
Having this little bit of the germ inside your body makes your body's immune system build antibodies to it.
Vaccines can be administered by a needle, mouth and some thorough a nasal spray.
In the US children are vaccinated before they can enter school for: Measles, Mumps, Rubella, Pertussis, Hepatitis B, Diphtheria, and Tetanus

33. Lymphatic System
The lymphatic system is an extensive drainage network that helps keep bodily fluid levels in balance and defends the body against infections.
It filters out organisms that cause disease, produces certain white blood cells and generates antibodies.

34. Major Parts of the Lymphatic System
It is made up of a network of lymphatic vessels that carry lymph — a clear, watery fluid that contains protein molecules, salts, glucose, urea, and other substances — throughout the body.
It works closely with the immune system and the circulatory system.
The Spleen stores many of the white blood cells needed for the immune response.

39. Endocrine System
1. The endocrine system is a collection of ductless glands that secrete special proteins called hormones.
2. The glands release the hormones into the bloodstream and they travel to the target cells or organs.
3. The main function of the endocrine system is to maintain a stable environment within the body or homeostasis.
4. The hormones also help the body to regulate:
Growth
Sexual development
Metabolism
Sugar, salt and fluid levels in the blood

44. Feedback Mechanisms
Homeostasis is maintained by the endocrine system through the use of various feedback mechanisms.
A feedback mechanism is in use when the biological reaction is actually being controlled by the end products of that reaction.
Negative feedback loop are most common.
original stimulus reversed
most feedback systems in the body are negative
used for conditions that need frequent adjustment

45. Parts of a Negative Feedback Loop
Receptor
Structures that monitor a
controlled condition and detect
changes.
Control center
Determines next action.
Effector

51. Nervous System
The function of the human nervous system is to control and coordinate functions throughout the body. It does this by responding to internal and external stimuli.
A stimulus is a signal from inside or outside the body that can be detected.
A response is a signal sent to reply to the stimulus.

52. Parts of the nervous system
The basic unit of the nervous system is the Neuron.
Messages are picked up from the environment or other neurons by the dendrites and are sent to the cell body; which contains most of the cytoplasm of the cell.

53. The neuron acts like an electric wire.
Electrical impulses travel through the axon (wire).
The axon is insulated by the Myelin sheath which prevents the impulse from leaving the neuron.
Messages leave the neuron through the axon terminals where they are sent to other neurons.

54. What is a
Synapse?
The gaps between the axon terminal of one neuron and the dendrites of another are called synapses.

55. What happens at the synapse?
As an electrical impulse travels to the axon of a neuron it stimulates the release of neurotransmitters. These are contained in small vesicles at the axon terminals.
The neurotransmitter molecules move across the synapse and attach themselves to receptors on the membrane of the next neuron.
A neurotransmitter is a chemical that carries messages between different nerve cells or between nerve cells and muscles.

56. 3 types of neurons Sensory Neurons
Pick up stimuli from the outside environment or from inside the body. These are found in organs called receptors (skin, eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and glands.) They transmit the message to interneurons.
Interneurons
Receive messages from the sensory neurons and interpret them. They then decide where they should be sent.
Motor Neurons
Receive messages from interneurons and sends them to organs called effectors (muscles and glands).

62. What Are Gametes? SPERM EGG
Gametes are reproductive cells that unite during sexual reproduction to form a new cell called a zygote.
In humans, male gametes are sperm and female gametes are eggs or ovums.
They contain ½ of the normal chromosome number for the species.
Human gametes have 23 chromosomes.
EGG
SPERM

63. How Are Gametes Produced?
Gametes are made through a special type of cell division called meiosis.
In humans, Meiosis occurs in the ovary of the female to produce egg cells and in the testicles of the male to produce sperm cells.

83. Cleavage
The fertilized egg, called a zygote undergoes cell division to produce a two-celled embryo. These cells divide again and again to form a ball of cells. This series of mitotic cell divisions is called cleavage.

84. 4 Days After Fertilization
Four days after fertilization, the embryo is a solid ball of about 50 cells called the morula.

85. 7 Days After Fertilization
As the embryo grows, a fluid filled cavity forms in the center turning the embryo into a hollow structure. It is now known as a blastula. It secretes enzymes that allow it to embed itself into the wall of the uterus. This is called implantation.
