10So Lets Begin!
11DR. I.I.L. MCSNEER PresentsYour Digestive System
12Your digestive system is like a complicated
chemical processing plant.
13What 3 major tasks does your digestive system
help you accomplish?
14Your Digestive System is an efficient
disassembly line.
- ... breaks down food into molecules the body can
absorb - passes these molecules into the blood to be
carried throughout the body. - works to eliminate solid wastes from the body.
15The Parts of Your Digestive System
What are they?
16Label the parts of your digestive system, then
correct them using the following slide.
17Parts of Your Digestive System
mouth (not shown)
18Now for the Digestive Journey
19The Digestive JourneyWhat do your mouth and
esophagus do?
- Digestion begins in your mouth
- teeth chop and tongue mashes (mechanical
digestion) - salivary glands squirt enzymes that break apart
starches (chemical digestion) - You swallow.
- Your esophagus squeezes food to your stomach.
Peristalsis is the name for this muscular action.
20Your Stomachfunction 1 chemical digestion of
proteins and fats
- The food moves into your stomach, which contains
chemicals such as hydrochloric acid and pepsin. - Pepsin breaks proteins, and other enzymes break
down fat. - Your stomach has a thick coating of mucus to
protect it form the acids and to keep it from
digesting itself! - Your stomach gradually releases these materials
into the upper small intestine (duodenum), where
digestion continues.
21Your stomach. function 2 mechanical digestion
- Your stomach is a muscular bag that mashes food
(increases surface area)
22What does your Liver do?
- liver--largest and heaviest internal organ of
your body - liver breaks down many toxins
- produces bile- a substance that helps break down
fat. - liver squirts the bile into the gall bladder,
where it is stored until needed by stomach. - (pancreas makes enzymes that flow into the small
intestines and break up complex starches,
proteins, and fats)
23What happens in your intestines?
- After digestion in the stomach, the food
remaining is a fluid called chyme. - Chyme enters the small intestine and is digested
more. - Small intestine has villiinternal projections
that increase surface area. (next slide) - Nutrients are absorbed through walls of villi
into bloodstream, leaving undigestible wastes and
water in the small intestine. - These wastes and water pass into the large
intestine. - Water is removed (absorbed into bloodstream)
- The wastes are stored in the rectum until they
are released by the anus.
24Cross Section of your small intestine
The villi add surface area to increase absorption
of food and nutrients. On the left you see how
the villi line your small intestines, and on the
right you see 1 villus with its blood capillaries.
25Why is a large surface area important?
- Chemistry happens surfaces.
- Think of examples.
26Where does the gas come from?
- We dont digest food completely by ourselves.
- Bacteria and fungi live in our intestines and
digest the rest for us, as well as for
themselves! (E. coli, for example) - These microbes that we depend on have their own
wastes, e.g. methane and hydrogen sulfide.

27DR. I.I.L. MCSNEER PresentsYour Respiratory
System
28What does your respiratory system do?
- takes in air from outside your body
- removes some oxygen to give your body
- adds carbon dioxide and water (wastes from your
body) - sends out the altered air
- This image shows all the tiny bronchioles that
increase surface area in the alveoli for gas
exchange. - Why is high surface area important?

34What is the relationship betweenwhole-body
respiration andcellular respiration?
- Respiration is gas exchange.
- Cellular respiration happens inside each cell.
- Whole body respiration is breathing.
- Breathing and blood flow supply cells with fresh
gas and remove waste gas. - Here is a diagram.

36Respiratory Disease Pneumonia
- Pneumonia is an inflammation or infection of the
lungs most commonly caused by a bacteria or
virus. Pneumonia can also be caused by inhaling
vomit or other foreign substances.

System
(Its Your Skin!)
41 What does skin do?
- prevents the loss of water
- protects the body from injury and infection
- regulates body temperature
- eliminates wastes
- gathers information about the environment
- produces vitamin D

44What is Botox?
- a protein from botulism toxin
- injected into a muscle to cause temporary
(months) paralysis - This helps prevent the appearance of wrinkles.
45With Botox will everyone look the same? What do
you think?
46DR. I.I.L. MCSNEER PresentsYour Immune System
47What does your immune system do?What are some of
its parts?
- protects you from foreign invaders
- Special cells react to each kind of pathogen
with a defense targeted specifically at that
pathogen.
http//www.nobel.se/medicine/laureates/1996/illpre
s/introduction.html
48Your Immune System Has Many Specialized Cells!
- White blood cells that target specific pathogens
are called lymphocytes. There are two major kinds
of lymphocytesT cells and B cells. - A major function of T cells is to identify
pathogens by recognizing their antigens. Antigens
are molecules that the immune system recognizes
as either part of your body, or as coming from
outside your body. B cells produce chemicals
called antibodies.
49How Your Immune System Works
- Our immune system protects us against threats.
These include viruses, bacteria and parasites
causing infectious diseases, from ordinary flu to
full-blown malaria. The white blood cells of the
defense system are produced in the marrow of our
bones. The cells are carried in the blood to
specialized organs, where they develop and
communicate to launch immune responses against
infections. - http//www.nobel.se/medicine/laureates/1996/illpre
s/introduction.html
50DR. I.I.L. MCSNEER Presents Your Lymphatic
System
51The Functions of Your Lymphatic System
- Your lymphatic system and the cardiovascular
system are closely related structures that are
joined by a capillary system. The lymphatic
system is important to the body's defense
mechanisms. It filters out organisms that cause
disease, produces certain white blood cells and
generates antibodies. It is also important for
the distribution of fluids and nutrients in the
body, because it drains excess fluids and protein
so that tissues do not swell up.

phatic/node_p2.gif
52DR. I.I.L. MCSNEER Presents Your Muscular System
53What are the types of muscle tissue?
- Your body has three types of muscle
tissueskeletal muscle, smooth muscle, and
cardiac muscle.
54Skeletal Muscle
- Skeletal muscles are attached to the bones of
your skeleton. Because you have conscious control
of skeletal muscles, they are classified as
voluntary muscles. These muscles provide the
force that moves your bones. Skeletal muscles
react quickly and tire quickly. At the end of a
skeletal muscle is a tendon. A tendon is a strong
connective tissue that attaches muscle to bone.
Note- ligaments connect bones together.
55Smooth Muscle
- Smooth muscles are called involuntary muscles
because they work with your conscious effort.
56Cardiac Muscle
- Cardiac muscles are involuntary muscles found
only in the heart. Cardiac muscles are strong but
do not tire easily.
A Cardiac Muscle Cell
57Voluntary Muscles
- The muscles that are under your direct control
are called voluntary muscles. Smiling and turning
the pages in a book are actions of voluntary
muscles.
58Involuntary Muscle Action
- colon
- (smooth muscle)
- heart
- (special cardiac muscle)
- both involuntary
- (automatic)
- not under your conscious control
59How Do Muscles Work?
- Muscles work by contracting, or becoming shorter
and thicker. Because muscle cells can only
contract, not extend, skeletal muscles must work
in pairs. While one muscle contracts, the other
muscle in the pair returns to its original
length. For example, in order to move the lower
arm, the biceps muscle on the front of the upper
arm contracts to bend the elbow. This lifts the
forearm and hand. As the biceps contracts, the
triceps on the back of the upper arm returns to
its original length. To straighten the elbow, the
triceps muscle contracts while the biceps returns
to its original length.

66Blood
- Blood is the fluid of life, transporting oxygen
from the lungs to body tissue and carbon dioxide
from body tissue to the lungs. - Because it contains living cells, blood is alive.
Red blood cells and white blood cells are
responsible for nourishing, cleansing, and
protecting the body. Since the cells are alive,
they too need nourishment. Vitamins and Minerals
keep the blood healthy. The blood cells have a
definite life cycle, just as all living organisms
do. - Approximately 55 percent of blood is plasma, a
straw-colored clear liquid. The liquid plasma
carries the solid cells and the platelets which
help blood clot. Without blood platelets, you
would bleed to death. - When the human body loses a little bit of blood
through a minor wound, the platelets cause the
blood to clot so that the bleeding stops. Because
new blood is always being made inside of your
bones, the body can replace the lost blood. When
the human body loses a lot of blood through a
major wound, that blood has to be replaced
through a blood transfusion from other people.
67.
68Heart Dissections
- Your Heart is a Very Muscular Organ!
69Artificial Hearts
- The action of the artificial heart is entirely
similar to the action of the natural heart. There
is, however, one huge difference the natural
heart is living muscle, while the artificial
heart is plastic, aluminum, and Dacron polyester.
As a result, the artificial heart needs some
external source of "life." An external power
system energizes and regulates the pump through a
system of compressed air hoses that enter the
heart through the chest. Since the system is
cumbersome and open to infection, the use of an
artificial heart is meant to be temporary. - http//sln.fi.edu/biosci/healthy/fake.html
70Now Its On To Your Skeletal System
71DR. I.I.L. MCSNEER Presents Your Skeletal System
72What are your skeletons functions?
- provides shape and support
- enables you to move
- protects your internal organs
- produces blood cells
- stores certain materials until your body needs
them
73The Structure of Bone
- Many bones have the same basic structure. A thin,
tough membrane covers all of a bone except the
ends. Blood vessels and nerves enter and leave
the bone through the membrane. Beneath the
membrane is a layer of compact bone, which is
hard and dense, but not solid. Small canals run
through the compact bone, carrying blood vessels
and nerves from the bones surface to the living
cells within the bone. Just inside the compact
bone is a layer of spongy bone, which has many
small spaces within it.
74Bone Anatomy
75Cartilage
- Cartilage provides a smooth surface between bones
or sometimes a more flexible extension of bone,
as in the tip of your nose. As an infant, much of
your skeleton was cartilage. By the time you stop
growing, most of the cartilage will have been
replaced with hard bone tissue.
76Joints
- A joint is a place in the body where two bones
come together. Joints allow bones to move in
different ways. Immovable joints connect bones in
a way that allows little or no movement. Movable
joints allow the body to make a wide range of
movements. Movable joints include ball-and-
socket joints, pivot joints, hinge joints, and
gliding joints. The bones in movable joints are
held together by a strong connective tissue
called a ligament.
77Take Care of Your Bones!
- A combination of a balanced diet and regular
exercise can start you on the way to a lifetime
of healthy bones. As people become older, their
bones begin to lose some minerals. Mineral loss
can lead to osteoporosis, a condition in which
the bodys bones become weak and break easily.
Regular exercise and a diet rich in calcium can
help prevent osteoporosis.
78Do You Know Your Bones?
79(No Transcript)
80What is osteoporosis?
- Osteoporosis is a disease in which bones become
fragile and more likely to break. If not
prevented or if left untreated, osteoporosis can
progress painlessly until a bone breaks.
81Its on to the Nervous System
82DR. I.I.L. MCSNEER Presents Your Nervous System
- Your nervous system receives information about
what is happening both inside and outside your
body. It also directs the way in which your body
responds to this information. In addition, the
nervous system helps maintain homeostasis. A
stimulus is any change or signal in the
environment that can make an organism react
83Your Nervous System
- Your nervous system consists of the central and
peripheral systems. The central nervous system
(CNS), includes the brain and spinal cord the
peripheral system includes the nerves to the rest
of the body.
84What Is Homeostasis?
- Homeostasis and Negative Feedback
- Homeostasis is one of the fundamental
characteristics of living things. It refers to
the maintenance of the internal environment
within tolerable limits. All sorts of factors
affect the suitability of our body fluids to
sustain life these include properties like
temperature, salinity, acidity, and the
concentrations of nutrients and wastes. Because
these properties affect the chemical reactions
that keep us alive, we have built-in
physiological mechanisms to maintain them at
desirable levels. When a change occurs in the
body, there are two general ways that the body
can respond. In negative feedback, the body
responds in such a way as to reverse the
direction of change. Because this tends to keep
things constant, it allows us to maintain
homeostasis. On the other hand, positive feedback
is also possible. This means that if a change
occurs in some variable, the response is to
change that variable even more in the same
direction. This has a de-stabilizing effect, so
it does not result in homeostasis. Positive
feedback is used in certain situations where
rapid change is desirable (see Positive Feedback
for an example). - To illustrate the components involved in negative
feedback, we can use the example of a driver
trying to stay near the speed limit. The desired
value of a variable is called the set point.
Here, the set point is a speed of 55 mph in
controlling body temperature, the set point would
be 98.6 degrees. The control center is what
monitors the variable and compares it with the
set point. Here, the control center is the
driver for body temperature, it would be the
hypothalamus of the brain. If the variable
differs from the set point, the control center
uses effectors to reverse the change. Here, the
effector is the foot on the accelerator pedal in
controlling body temperature, it would include
the glands that sweat and the muscles that
shiver. - ADJUSTING TO STAY WITHIN LIMITS

85What are neurons?
- The cells that carry information through your
nervous system are called neurons, or nerve
cells. The message that a neuron carries is
called a nerve impulse. A neuron has a large cell
body that contains the nucleus. The cell body has
threadlike extensions. One kind of extension, a
dendrite, carries impulses toward the cell body.
An axon carries impulses away from the cell body.
Axons and dendrites are sometimes called nerve
fibers. A bundle of nerve fibers is called a
nerve.

87A NEURON viewed under a electron microscope. Can
you locate the cell body, axon, and dendrites?
88Your Central Nervous System- The Brain and Spinal
Cord
89Central Peripheral Nervous Systems Working
Together
- The yellow parts are CNS parts
- and the purple are parts of your peripheral
nervous system.
90Reflexes Some nerve signals go only to the
spinal cord and back.
The knee jerk reflex (seen in the figure to the
above) is called a monosynaptic reflex. This
means that there is only 1 synapse in the neural
circuit needed to complete the reflex. It only
takes about 50 milliseconds of time between the
tap and the start of the leg kick...that is fast.
The tap below the knee causes the thigh muscle to
stretch. Information is sent to the spinal cord.
After one synapse in the ventral horn of the
spinal cord, the information is sent back out to
the muscle...and there you have the reflex.
91Your Brain- The Command Center
- The human brain is a complex organ that allows
us to think, move, feel, see, hear, taste, and
smell. It controls our body, receives
information, analyzes information, and stores
information (our memories). - The brain produces electrical signals, which,
together with chemical reactions, let the parts
of the body communicate. Nerves send these
signals throughout the body. - The average human brain weighs about 3 pounds. At
birth, the human brain weighs less than a pound.
As a child grows, the number of cell remains
relatively stable, but the cells grow in size and
the number of connections increases. The human
brain reaches its full size at about 6 years of
age.
92Most nerve signals are interpreted by your brain
and motor nerves then carry out your instructions.
93The Stroop Effect- Your Brain Can Get Confused!
- TRY IT!- The famous "Stroop Effect" is named
after J. Ridley Stroop who discovered this
strange phenomenon in the 1930s. Here is your
job name the colors of the following words. Do
NOT read the words...rather, say the color of the
words. For example, for the word BLUE, you should
say "RED". Say the colors as fast as you can. It
is not as easy as you might think!

95Your Brain Has Very Complicated Anatomy All Its
Own!
96Alzheimers Disease
- Alzheimer's disease attacks the brain it is not
a normal part of aging. People with AD have a
gradual memory loss and difficulties with
language and emotions. - The progressive loss of intellectual abilities is
termed dementia. As the disease advances, the
person may need help in all aspects of life
bathing, eating, and using the restroom. - Because of this round-the-clock care, families
and friends of people with AD are greatly
affected. The disease is irreversible and there
is currently no cure.

99DR. I.I.L. MCSNEER Presents Your Endocrine
System
- The endocrine system is a collection of special
organs in the body that produce hormones. These
organs are usually called the "glands." They are
located in different parts of the body. For
example, the pituitary is in the brain, the
thyroid is in the neck, the adrenal glands are
just alone the kidneys and the sexual glands
(ovaries and testes) are located in the sexual
organs. Each gland produces a hormone into the
blood, which travels all through the body.
Hormones regulate our body activities, for
example growth, sleep, sudden actions, feelings
and blood sugar for energy.
100DR. I.I.L. MCSNEER Presents Your Excretory
System
- Your excretory system collects wastes produced by
cells and removes these wastes from your body.
The removal process is known as excretion. The
two kidneys are the major organs of the excretory
system. The kidneys filter your blood and remove
urea, excess water, and some other waste
materials from your blood. Urea is a chemical
that comes from the breakdown of proteins. The
filtering process produces a watery fluid called
urine. Each kidney contains about a million
nephrons.
101Your Excretory System
Web Sources and Resources Usborne Science
Encyclopedia pg. 362 and Quicklink Images
102Kidney Tubules (Nephrons)
Urine Production The kidneys regulate the body
fluids, maintaining desirable levels of acids and
bases, salts, nutrients and wastes. Each kidney
is made up of over a million tiny tubes known as
nephrons, or kidney tubules. The tubules act in
parallel to filter the blood and produce the
urine. As the blood filtrate passes along the
tubule, the composition of the fluid is changed
in complex ways. In some ways the tubule
resembles an industrial processing plant, and the
cells lining the walls of the tubule can be
thought of as technicians who modify the filtrate
as it passes by. The first step in urine
production is called filtration. This occurs at
the glomerulus, which is really a ball of
capillaries that makes close contact with the end
of the nephron. Driven by the beating of the
heart, blood plasma (the fluid component of
blood) is forced out of the capillaries and into
the nephron. Because this transfer occurs through
narrow spaces (represented by a sieve in the
cartoon), the larger molecules (mainly proteins)
are left behind in the blood. Blood cells (not
shown in the cartoon) are many times larger
still, and are also left behind. Finally, the
tubule empties its contents into one of the many
collecting ducts. The urine now contains a
concentrated solution of whatever the body
currently considers to be "wastes." Water
continues to be reabsorbed in the collecting
duct, so that little water is wasted in the
process of excretion (elimination of wastes).
Finally, all the urine collects together in the
kidney and is passed out through the ureter, and
from there to the bladder.

epob/academics/web_resources/cartoons/gas.html
103Kidney Stones
- Kidney stones are created when certain substances
in urine -- including calcium and uric acid --
crystallize and the crystals clump together.
Usually, they form in the center of the kidney,
where urine collects before flowing into the
ureter, the tube that leads to the bladder. Small
stones are able to pass out of the body in the
urine and often go completely unnoticed. But
larger stones irritate and stretch the ureter as
they move toward the bladder, causing
excruciating pain and blocking the flow of urine.
Rarely, a stone can be as large as a golf ball,
in which case it remains lodged in the kidney,
creating a more serious condition
104DR. I.I.L. MCSNEER Presents Your Reproductive
System
105The Female Reproductive System
- The role of the female reproductive system is to
produce eggs, and if an egg is fertilized, to
nourish a developing baby until birth.
106The Menstrual Cycle
- During the menstrual cycle, an egg develops in an
ovary. At the same time, the uterus prepares for
the arrival of the fertilized egg. Once the egg
is released, it can be fertilized for the next
few days if sperm are present in the oviduct. If
the egg is not fertilized, it begins to break
down, and it passes out of the vagina along with
some tissue from the lining of the uterus in a
process called menstruation.
107Can you name the parts of the female reproductive
system? Check your answers on the following page.
108Key to the Female Reproductive System
109The Male Reproductive System
- Produces sperm- tiny packages of chromosomes that
can swim to fertilize the egg, and the hormone
testosterone, which controls the development of
the males physical characteristics.
110Key to Male Reproductive System
111Fertilization
- Takes place when sperm egg cells merge (nuclei
fuse).
112Human Development
- The fertilized egg, or zygote, is about the size
of a period in a textbook. The zygote develops
into an embryo, and then into a developing fetus,
which results in....
