1 Body Systems

2 Digestive System

3 Human Digestion Alimentary Canal Accessory Organs Mouth 1. tongue
Pharynx 2. salivary glands Esophagus 3. liver Stomach 4. pancreas Small intestine 5. gall bladder Large intestine Rectum Anus

4 Process of Digestion Mouth – a. mechanical digestion – chewing
b. chemical digestion – salivary enzymes begin carb digestion Pharynx – pharynx-throat with: tonsils and larynx Esophagus – Esophagus- tube connecting mouth to stomach peristalsis: the rhythmic muscular contractions that help push food throughout the digestive system Epiglottis- flap covering trachea to prevent choking

5 Stomach A. mechanical digestion – peristalsis is churning food
B. chemical digestion – acid and enzymes 1. glands secrete: a. mucus – protects stomach lining b. acid - hydrochloric (kills bacteria) c. enzymes – pepsin begins protein digestion Growling: peristalsis can occur in an empty stomach, a signal to the body to eat something

6 Small Intestine A. Most chemical digestion takes place here.
B. Absorbed in the small intestine: a. simple sugars digested by: b. fatty acids carbohydrases, lipases c. amino acids proteases and nucleases d. nucleotides C. The lining of the small intestine is covered with folds containing millions of tiny fingerlike projections called VILLI. This greatly increases the surface area for absorption.

7 Villi – increase surface area

8 Accessory Organs Along with intestinal juices secreted by the walls of the small intestine, other organs aid in chemical digestion: The liver – produces bile which emulsifies fats and oils 2. The gall bladder – stores bile until it is needed in the small intestine. The pancreas – produces enzymes needed for digestion in the small intestine.

9 Large Intestine (colon)
A. Appendix – vestigal? Or preserving good bacteria? Functions of the Large Intestine: 1. Absorbs Water 2. Home for good bacteria that produce vitamin K 3. Form stool (undigested food) for elimination Rectum - stores and compacts feces Anus – end opening of the alimentary canal

10 Function of Digestive System
Eliminating waste Absorbing nutrients Digesting food

11 Circulatory System The circulatory system is involved in transporting materials

12 The Circulatory System
The circulatory system is composed of the heart and its associated blood vessels. Blood vessels of the circulatory system include: a. Arteries - carry blood away from the heart-Rich in Oxygen b. Veins – carry blood back to the heart-Poor in Oxygen c. Capillaries – micro-vessels between a & b 3. Blood carries oxygen, hormones and nutrients to all the cells of the body. It carries carbon dioxide and wastes away from the cells.

13 Heart and Circulation The heart has 4 chambers: 2 atria and 2 ventricles It pumps blood to the lungs to get oxygen It pumps blood to the body cells to give: Oxygen, nutrients, and hormones Muscles in the body contract to help with circulation

14 Blood Cell Types Red blood cells – carry O2 to all cells
White blood cells –fight infection Platelets – clotting to prevent blood loss Are transported in a watery fluid called blood plasma Makes up 55% of blood volume

15 Blood Functions 1.Transport Nutrients Gases Hormones 2. Homeostasis
Warming Cooling Maintains pH 3. Protection Clotting Immunity

16 Human Respiratory System
Nasal passages Pharynx/larynx Trachea Bronchi Bronchioles Lungs Diaphragm

17 Respiration Cellular Respiration – cells need energy to do work. It is produced by the mitochondria in the form of ATP

18 Mechanical Respiration
Respiratory System Alveoli – air sacs that make up the lung tissue. They are the site for gas exchange.

19 Lungs

20 Breathing

21 Human Respiratory System
Nose Filters Warms the air Nasal Chamber Epiglottis Flap that covers trachea Prevents choking Trachea Lined with cilia to filter the air

22 Bronchi Bronchioles Lung Diaphragm
2 of them-lined with cilia to filter air Bronchioles Thinner tubes off of the bronchi Lung Filled with alveoli- air sacs Gas exchange occurs at the alveoli 300 million alveoli Diaphragm Muscle at the bottom of the lungs Inhale-diaphragm pulls down Exhale-diaphragm moves up

23 Capillary- Oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange with the Alveoli Alveoli- Grape like sacs in lungs where gases get exchanged

24 Lung Diseases Asthma – spasms of the bronchi which cause breathing difficulty – often due to allergies Bronchitis – inflamation of the bronchi Pneumonia – viral or bacterial lung infection Emphysema – chronic pulmonary dysfunction often caused by smoking Lung Cancer – uncontrolled growth of lungs cells often caused by years of smoking

25 Skeletal System

26 Bones Dense, hard connective tissue consisting of living cells
Give support and structure Stores nutrients Makes RBCs

27 Muscular System Skeletal Smooth Cardiac

28 Muscles and Bones Connected by
Tendons – connects muscles to bones can withstand tension but still flexible Ligaments – strong, fibrous tissue that connects bones to other bones

29 Immune System- fights off disease

30 Immunity Disease is the failure of Homeostasis
Bone marrow, lymphocytes, spleen, etc. Identifying and eliminating harmful pathogens in the body Destroys dead or dysfunctional cells within the body

31 Lymphatic System Lymph, Lymph nodes
Filters plasma, helps maintain fluids around cells, moves immune cells throughout body

32 Inflammation

33 Excretory System Organs of Excretion: kidneys, bladder, skin

34 What does the excretory system do?
Removes wastes from the body

35 Integumentary System Skin, hair, nails
Acts as a barrier (only lets certain things in or out) Excretes waste

36 Nervous System Neurons, Brain, Spinal Cord
Central Nervous System, Peripheral Nervous System Transmits electrical signals throughout the body Enables the senses to work

37 Endocrine System Glands (pituitary, thyroid, adrenal and pancreas), hormones Regulates body functions (growth, reproduction, homeostasis) by releasing hormones

38 Reproductive System Eggs, sperm, uterus, testicles, etc.
Pass on genes, sustain life
