1. 35–1 Human Body Systems Slide 1 of 33 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Organ system review REVIEW

2. 35–1 Human Body Systems Slide 2 of 33 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Organization of the Body Tissues: a group of cells that perform a single function is called a tissue. Epithelial tissue includes glands and tissues that cover interior and exterior body surfaces. Connective tissue supports the body and connects its parts. Nervous tissue transmits nerve impulses through the body. Muscle tissue, along with bones, enables the body to move

3. 35–1 Human Body Systems Slide 3 of 33 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Organization of the Body Organs and Organ Systems A group of different types of tissues that work together to perform a single function is called an organ. A group of organs that perform closely related functions is an organ system. There are eleven organ systems in the body.

4. 35–1 Human Body Systems Slide 4 of 33 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Maintaining Homeostasis Homeostasis is the process by which organisms keep internal conditions relatively constant despite changes in external environments. Negative feedback = feedback inhibition A stimulus produces a response that opposes the original stimulus (reverse of the original). Usually stable and automated Positive feedback - stimulus continues in the same direction (Examples - clotting continues; contraction increase)

5. 35–1 Human Body Systems Slide 5 of 33 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Maintaining Homeostasis Example of Feedback Inhibition Thermostat senses temperature change and switches off heating system Thermostat senses temperature change and switches on heating system Room temperature increases Room temperature decreases Human body: The hypothalamus monitors the temperature of the skin and the temperature of organs and will respond when necessary.

6. 35–1 Human Body Systems Slide 6 of 33 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Organization of the Body Nervous System Structures: Brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves Function: Recognizes, controls, and coordinates the body’s response to changes in its internal and external environments

7. 35–1 Human Body Systems Slide 7 of 33 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Organization of the Body Integumentary System Structures: Skin, hair, nails, sweat and oil glands Function: Serves as a barrier against infection and injury; helps to regulate body temperature; provides protection against ultraviolet radiation from the sun

8. 35–1 Human Body Systems Slide 8 of 33 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Organization of the Body Endocrine System Structures: Hypothalamus, pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, adrenals, pancreas, ovaries (in females), testes (in males) Function: Controls growth, development and metabolism; maintains homeostasis

9. 35–1 Human Body Systems Slide 9 of 33 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Nervous system The two main divisions of the nervous system: CNS - Central nervous system; Brain & spinal cord PNS - peripheral nervous system: nerves and cells Neurons: cells that transmit impulses (signals) throughout the body. 1. Sensory division - transmits impulses from sense organs to the CNS. 2. Motor division - transmits impulses from the CNS to the muscles or glands. Reflex responses - automatic and rapid, necessary for survival

10. 35–1 Human Body Systems Slide 10 of 33 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Interesting facts Little Known Facts About The Human Body 1. A cough releases an explosive charge of air that moves at speeds up to 60 mph. 2. A fetus acquires fingerprints at the age of three months. 3. A sneeze can exceed the speed of 100 mph. 4. Every person has a unique tongue print. 5. An average human scalp has 100,000 hairs.

11. 35–1 Human Body Systems Slide 11 of 33 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Interesting facts 6. It takes 17 muscles to smile and 43 to frown. 7. Babies are born with 300 bones, but by adulthood we have only 206 in our bodies. 8. Beards are the fastest growing hairs on the human body. If the average man never trimmed his beard, it would grow to nearly 30 feet long in his lifetime.

12. 35–1 Human Body Systems Slide 12 of 33 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Interesting facts 9. Each square inch of human skin consists of twenty feet of blood vessels. 10. Every human spent about half an hour as a single cell. 11. Every square inch of the human body has an average of 32 million bacteria on it. 12. Humans shed about 600,000 particles of skin every hour - about 1.5 pounds a year. By 70 years of age, an average person will have lost 105 pounds of skin.

13. 35–1 Human Body Systems Slide 13 of 33 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Organization of the Body Skeletal System Structures: Bones, cartilage, ligaments, tendons Function: Supports the body; protects internal organs; allows movement; stores mineral reserves; provides a site for blood cell formation

14. 35–1 Human Body Systems Slide 14 of 33 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Organization of the Body Muscular System Structures: Skeletal muscle, smooth muscle, cardiac muscle Function: Works with skeletal system to produce voluntary movement; helps to circulate blood and move food through the digestive system

15. 35–1 Human Body Systems Slide 15 of 33 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Organization of the Body Circulatory System Structures: Heart, blood vessels, blood Function: Brings oxygen, nutrients, and hormones to cells; fights infection; removes cell wastes; helps to regulate body temperature

16. 35–1 Human Body Systems Slide 16 of 33 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Organization of the Body Respiratory System Structures: Nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, lungs Function: Provides oxygen needed for cellular respiration and removes excess carbon dioxide from the body

17. 35–1 Human Body Systems Slide 17 of 33 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Organization of the Body Digestive System Structures: Mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small and large intestines, rectum Function: Converts food into simpler molecules that can be used by the cells of the body; absorbs food; eliminates wastes
