Digestive:
Mouth: - The smell of food triggers the salivary glands in your mouth to secrete saliva, causing your mouth to water.
Saliva- salivary glan, located underneath the back of our tongue, creates our saliva (helps soften food so that it is easier to swallow). Saliva is also the first of several chemicals that start to break down foods into simpler forms. teeth : Digestion starts here. Teeth start tearing and crushing the food down into small enough pieces so that it can fit down our throats. stomach : uses chemicals, called gastric juices; to make the food tinier (includes hydrochloric acid and enzyme). The food is moved around and mixed with the chemicals for about 3 or 4 hours until it’s a a cream-like liquid call chyme. small intestine: where the real digestion takes place. As food passes through, it’s mixed with new chemicals and soon our "food" is now digested small enough to be put to use by the body. Along the walls of the intestine are 1000’s of tiny fingers called villi. Blood vessels (capillaries) in the villi can absorb the tiny food molecules and send them to the rest of our body through the blood. large intestine: Whatever the body cannot put to use is sent here. Big job is to remove water (Water is no longer needed) and in the large intestine water is sent into the blood stream. Food spends about 12 hrs in the large intestine where it become feces and later leaves the body through the anal opening when we go to the bathroom. Pancreas: adds a digestive chemical as the food leaves the stomach. This digestive juice works on breaking down the carbohydrates (breads) and the proteins (butter). gall bladder: When the gall bladder mixes bile with our food, it does an important job: breaking down the fat (butter) into tiny droplets. This fat will supply us with energy later.
Liver: produced bile to be stored in the gallbladder until needed by body Esophagus: transportation tube from the mouth to the stomach. When we swallow, we are closing a trap door in our throat called the epiglottis which sends food down the esophagus & prevents food from going down the trachea (or windpipe) and into our lungs. Food moves using muscles not gravity.
Circulatory:
Pulmonary artery: carrying de-oxygenated blood to the lungs. These arteries also have strong, muscular walls that at regular intervals contract in harmonisation with the rate at which the heart beats.
Pulmonary veins: carries oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart (and from there out to the body).
Septum: It separates oxygenated and de-oxygenated blood from mixing during the contraction cycle. If they mix, then the body cannot receive the oxygen it needs.
Aorta: the largest artery of the body. The primary function of the aorta is to carry oxygenated blood from the heart to the cells of the body.
Superior vena cava: to bring out the de-oxygenated blood from the head, arm, neck and chest areas of the body to the right atrium
Inferior vena cava: brings de-oxygenated blood from the lower body parts such as legs, abdomen, back and pelvis to the right atrium.
Semi lunar valves (pulmonary, artial valves): prevent blood backflow into the ventricles atrioventricular valves (tricuspid, bicuspid): responsible for preventing blood from flowing back into the atria at the moment the ventricles contract. These valves are situated at the point where the ventricles and atria meet. Atrioventricular valves are two in number; the bicuspid valve and tricuspid valve.
Vein: carry blood back toward your heart.
Body Systems Every body system has their own function. Theres eleven body systems.The human skeleton is the internal framework of the body. It is composed of 270 bones at birth - this total decreases to 206 by adulthood after some bones have refused together. The bone mass in the skeleton reaches maximum density around age 30. The human skeleton serves 3 major functions; support, movement and protection. Another body system is the Integumentary System provides covering for the body which protects…
Body systems Everything you need to know Written by Asher Brinton what is a body system? A body system is a group of organs or structures that together perform one or more vital functions. An example of this is the Endocrine system. The endocrine system works together to induce sleep and growth along with other things. Can you list the body systems? 1. The nervous system yes 2. The reproductive system yes 3. The immune system 4. The excretory/urinary system yes 5. The circulatory system…
Body Systems Preparation part I Marisha Mcelrath, Tajre Molette, Ashley Smith, Jayleen Tofi (Team C) HCS/212 August 10, 2014 Zacharia Varughese Body Systems Preparation part I What did you learn that you did not already know? After reading the assigned modules, Team C all have concluded to ourselves that, to some degree, we have been expose and knowledgeable to information on the Body System. Jayleen and Tajre have both taken courses in Biology at another institution. MaRisha over the years…
Body Systems Kimberly D. Walker University of Antelope Valley Treatment in modern day society has changed in so many ways since the early 1900’s, take mental illness for example. In the early 1900's, society viewed mental illness as a disease of that was a weakness or a spiritual nature. Mentally ill patients were sent to asylums, where they were called lunatics or crazies, these patients were tortured as a form of treatment. Some treatments that were used are; submerging patients in ice…

The structure of body systems Cardiovascular – (circulatory system) The Circulatory System is responsible for transporting materials throughout the body. It transports nutrients, water, and oxygen to cells in the body and carries away wastes such as carbon dioxide. The heart, blood vessels and blood itself are three essential components the body needs to survive. The circulatory system consists of two circuits that blood travels through; pulmonary and systemic. The left side of the heart circulates…
Cellular Respiration The Process by which food usually sugar is broken down. Respiratory System A system made of structures and organs that function in moving oxygen and carbon dioxide in and out of the body. Circulatory System A system made of organs that function in transporting materials around the body. Capillaries Capillaries are the smallest blood vessels. They exchange substances such as oxygen, carbon dioxide, and sugar with cells. Veins Blood travels to the heart in blood…
Respiratory System By: Daniela Hernandez & Sariah Ramirez Purpose and Functions The main purpose of the respiratory system is to deliver oxygen to the body and to take away carbon dioxide. Some other functions of this system includes voice production, body temperature and acid-base regulation, and the sense of smell. System Organs ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● Nose: where air is inhaled and exhaled Pharynx: tubular part which allows the passage of air into lungs Epiglottis: flap-like structure which prevents…
Megan McMorrine Brinker, 3rd Russian Revolution research paper 19 April 2013 Home Style Life and the Abuse of a Peasant in the Russian Revolution Life in Russia in the early 1900s was extremely repulsive, especially for the peasants. The peasant class lived in dirty huts, had to deal with abuse from family members, and had to find a way to survive in the poor community. The peasants of Russia lived a hard long life in horrible conditions day after day. Russian peasant houses were often…
gross structure of all the main body systems The table below shows the names of body systems with the organs, which they ar e composed of. These organs work together to keep each body system functioning. Display the gross structure of each body system, and then write a few lines explaining its main function.
