4. Mouth Pharynx Esophagus Stomach Small Intestine Large Intestine Rectum

6. What does it do? Sensory neurons take information from the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and skin to the brain. Motor neurons carry messages away from the brain and back to the rest of the body. Common problems/injuries? Brain tumors, cerebral palsy, epilepsy, concussions, meningitis, mental illnesses, migraines

7. Nervous System The Nervous System is divided into 2 parts:

8. Central Nervous System Cerebrum – 85% of the brain, controls thinking, long and short term memory. Cerebellum – located at the back of the brain, controls balance. Spinal Cord – connects neurons to the brain

9. Peripheral Nervous System Made up of hugh network of interconnecting neurons across the body. Cranial Nerve – effects motion and feeling in the face. It does not pass through the spinal cord.

11. What does it do? The endocrine system helps regulate and maintain various body functions making and releasing hormones. Common problems/injuries? Diabetes, thyroid disorders ENDOCRINE = HORMONES

12. Pituitary Gland“Master Gland”; controls all endocrine glands HypothalamusControls metabolism and homeostasis Thyroid GlandRegulates metabolism Parathyroid GlandControls calcium in blood and bones Adrenal GlandControls metabolism and stress responses Pinal GlandRegulates wake/sleep cycle Reproductive GlandsControls sex hormones PancreasAids in food digestion and controls blood sugar levels

14. What does it do? To supply the blood with oxygen. We inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide – this gas exchange is how we get the oxygen to the blood Common problems/injuries? Asthma, bronchitis, emphysema, pneumonia

15. Nasal Cavity is lined with…  Cilia Filters the air  Mucous MembranesMoistens the air  Blood Capillaries Warms the air

16. G H I A – Lungs B – Alveoli C – Nasal Cavity D – Mouth E – Trachea F – Diaphragm G – Epiglottis H – Bronchia I – Pharynx

18. What does it do? It circulates blood through the body. This is our “blood pressure,” which is the contraction and relaxation of our heart muscle. Systole = Contraction Diastole = Relaxation Normal Blood pressure is 120 / 80 Common problems/injuries? Atherosclerosis, high blood pressure, angina, aneurysm, arrythmia

19. The heart is divided into 4 chambers, right ________________ and ____________________ and the left ______________________ and _________________________. Oxygen poor blood, ____________ blood, circulates to the right side of the heart, it is sent to the _______________ to get __________________. The _______ blood is then sent back to the left side of the heart to be circulated back through the _______________. atriumventricle atriumventricle blue lungs oxygenred body

22. What does it do? The lymphatic system transports fluids throughout the body. The vessels carry proteins to the lymph nodes, which are filled with white blood cells that kill bacteria and other pathogens, before sending the protein back into the body. Common problems/injuries? Lymphedemia, lymphoma, cancer LYMPHATIC = IMMUNE SYSTEM

23. We have lymph nodes all throughout our body, what is the largest one?
