The Skin
The skin is a very important and interesting
organ to learn about. The skin is the largest
organ. The skin is a very flexible organ. The
human skin has many layers. Your skin gives you
the ability to feel things. The human body has
many features and the skin is just one of the
many. The skin is one of the most important
organs in our bodies. There are three layers of
skin, the epidermis, the dermis, and the
hypodermis. The skin protects from the suns
harmful rays. It keeps us hydrated by preventing
fluid loss. The skin also produces vitamin D to
maintain strong bones. Healthy hint Do not stay
in the sun to long without suntan lotion.

The Skeleton System

• The skeleton system is very important to the
  human body. When youre a baby you have over 300
  hundred bones in your body. The spine forms from
  curves. Calcium helps build up your bones and can
  prevent you from breaking your bones. Your bones
  protect your organs. The bones are very important
  to the human body.
• The skeleton has three major jobs, to protect
  the vital organs, gives us our shape, also allows
  to move and walk. When you are born you have
  around 350 bones in your body. When you are a
  adult you will only have 206 bones in your body.
  When you get older some bones will join together.
  Our bones are held together by strong stretchy
  bands called ligaments.

The Skeleton System

• Bones are living tissues that rebuild constantly
  throughout your life. During childhood and your
  teens, your body adds new bone mass faster than
  it removes old bone. After about age 20, you can
  lose bone faster than you make bone. A major
  disease affecting your bones is Osteoporosis.
  Osteoporosis, literally means porous bones, and
  is a disease that causes the bones in our body to
  become fragile and prone to break. Osteoporosis
  is a major public health threat for an estimated
  44 million Americans, or 55 percent of the people
  50 years of age and older.
• To have strong bones when you are young, and to
  prevent bone loss when you are older, follow
  these guides
• eating a well-balanced diet rich in calcium and
  vitamin D
• participating in regular exercise
• taking safety precautions to protect your bones
  and prevent falls
• avoiding excessive dieting and excessive thinness

The Nervous System
Nervous tissue is made of two main cells neurons
and glial cells. Neurons send nerve messages.
When you are born you have over the number of
nervous cells than all the stars in the
sky. Nervous cells send shock waves through your
body when you are getting injured, so the nervous
cells can protect you being seriously hurt. As
you can see the nervous system is very important
to the human body. The nervous system of an
organism is a network of cells made to process
information and cause reactions in the body
parts . www.emc.maricopa.edu/.webloc

The Nervous System

• In the human body the nervous system has two main
  parts, the central nervous system and the
  peripheral nervous system. The central nervous
  system consists of the brain and spinal chord.
  The peripheral nervous system consists of all the
  neurons in the body. Healthy hint Eat foods with
  calcium in them.

The Human Muscles

• The muscles in the human body are very important
  to use. You need your muscles to be able to
  stretch and bend your body. Your muscles can get
  stressed and strained. Your muscles can grow if
  you exercise. One of your muscles are the bicep,
  the bicep is the muscle that is near the Humurous
  (bone). There are many muscles in the human body
  and they are all very important.

The human muscles are in mostly every part of the
body. There are more than 650 individual muscles
in the human body. Muscle cells contain
contractile filaments that move past each other
and change the size of the cell. They are
classified as skeletal, cardiac, or smooth
muscles. Their function is to produce force and
cause motion.

The Digestive System

• The Digestive System is very important to the
  human body . The digestive system is a series of
  organs and glands that process food. In order to
  use the food we eat, our body has to break the
  food down into smaller molecules that it can
  process. It also has to excrete waste. In all
  there are about 30 feet of these convoluted pipe
  works, starting with the mouth and ending with
  the anus.

The digestive system is made out of several
hollow organs, mouth, esophagus, stomach, small
intestine, large intestine, and anus. On the way
the food is broken down, sorted, and reprocessed
before being circulated around the body to
nourish and replace cells and supply energy to
our muscles. For a person to stay healthy,
proper functioning of the digestive systems is
necessary. Healthy hint Eat right and not fast.

The Digestive System

• The human digestive system is a complex series of
  organs and glands that processes food. In order
  to use the food we eat, our body has to break the
  food down into smaller molecules that it can
  process it also has to excrete waste. Most
  Digestive organs are tube-like shaped and
  contains food as it makes it way through the
  body. The Digestive System is a long, twisting
  tube that runs from the mouth to the anus plus a
  few other organs that produce or store digestive
  chemicals.
• The digestive process begins in the mouth. Food
  is partly broken down by the process of chewing
  and by the chemical. After being chewed and
  swallowed, the food enters the esophagus. The
  esophagus is a long tube that runs from the mouth
  to the stomach. It uses rhythmic, wave-like
  muscle movements (called peristalsis) to force
  food from the throat into the stomach. This
  muscle movement gives us the ability to eat or
  drink even when we're upside-down. action of
  salivary enzymes.

The Respiratory System

• The respiratory system is very important to the
  human body. The Respiratory System has many
  organs that work together to move oxygen through
  the body to help us breathe. When air passes
  through the nose to the nasal passages called the
  windpipe, it gets filtered, moistened, and
  heated. The lungs are the main part of the
  respiratory, which enables the exchange of oxygen
  and carbon dioxide in the blood. With out the
  Respiratory System we would not be able to
  breathe. http//www.buzzle.com/articles/respirator
  y-system-facts.html
• The Respiratory System has many functions that
  are vital to the human body. Every minute we
  breathe, we take in 13pints of air. We breathe
  about 9 to 20 times every minute. We inhale and
  exhale about 22,000 times per day and in the
  process, transport about 300 cubic feet of air.

11
The Respiratory System

• Asthma is a long standing (chronic) disease.
  When you have asthma, your airways are over
  sensitive and inflamed. The tubes that carry air
  into the lungs are called airways or bronchioles.
  They are more sensitive in people with asthma.
  They react to asthma triggers such as colds,
  cigarette smoke and exercise faster and more
  strongly than normal airways.
• More than 2,000,000 people have learned to manage
  their asthma at home.
  
• Healthy hint when you have asthma always carry
  an inhaler.

The Heart

• The Heart is one of the most important organs in
  the human body. Your heart is located in the
  center of your chest between your lungs. An
  adults heart is the size of a fist. It is
  important to eat healthy meals and exercise
  regularly. If you keep your body in good health
  it makes the heart a more efficient organ.
• The human heart beats about 50 to 100 times each
  minute for a total of 100,000 times a day. An
  adult heart pumps about 5 quarts of blood each
  minute. That is almost 2,000 gallons of blood
  each day. A mans heart weighs about 10 ounces.
  Without the heart no one would be able to survive.

13
The Heart

• Heart disease is a common cause of death for many
  people. More than 24 million people have heart
  disease and more than 900,000 people die from
  heart disease each year.

• Fortunately there are many ways to prevent heart
  disease and live longer
• No Smoking or tobacco
• Regular exercise at least 30 minutes per day
• Eat a heart-healthy
• Maintain a healthy weight

The Circulatory System

• The Circulatory System is very important to the
  human body. The Circulatory System is responsible
  for transporting materials throughout the entire
  body. It transports nutrients, water, and oxygen
  to all of your body cells. The Circulatory has
  three major parts, the Heart, the Blood, and the
  Blood Vessels. Without the Circulatory System we
  would not be able to live.
• The circulatory system is very interesting to
  learn about. It passes nutrients, gases,
  hormones, blood cells, etc. to and from cells to
  fight diseases and help keep body temperature
  stabile. The main parts of the circulatory system
  are the heart, the blood, and the blood vessels.
  Also, the digestive system works with the
  circulatory system to provide the nutrients the
  system needs to keep the heart pumping.
• Healthy hint Do not eat a lot because it makes
  the blood travel slower through your body.
