All Rights Reserved. 94-4901 www.newpathlearning.com hair nerve sweat gland oil gland hair follicle muscle blood vessels fat dermis epidermis The Skeletal System There are ve major functions of the skeletal system: 1. Enables you to move around 2. Protects internal organs 3. Provides support and determines the shape of your body 4. Stores materials 5. Produces blood cells The structure of a bone consists of an outer layer of hard connective tissue. Beneath the outer layer is the compact bone tissue followed by the spongy bone tissue. The spongy bone tissue gives the bone its lightweight and provides strength. The spaces within the bone are lled with marrow, a soft connective tissue within bones. The two types of marrow are yellow and red. The yellow marrow stores fat and other materials to use for energy when necessary. The red marrow produces blood cells for the body. Cartilage is a connective tissue that is exible and strong, but softer than bone. Cartilage covers the ends of many bones and acts like a cushion, protecting the bones from being damaged. The Muscular System Muscles that you are able to control are called voluntary muscles. Muscles that you are not able to control are called involuntary muscles. Types of muscles There are three types of muscle tissue in the human body: skeletal muscle, smooth muscle and cardiac muscle. Skeletal muscles are voluntary muscles that are attached to the bones of your skeleton. These muscles provide you with the ability to move. At each end of a muscle is a strong connective tissue that attaches your muscles to bones called a tendon. Smooth muscles are involuntary muscles that are on the insides of internal organs. These muscles work automatically to control many functions of the body. Cardiac muscle has characteristics in common with both skeletal and smooth muscles. The Skin The skin covers the body, prevents water loss, gathers information from the environment, eliminates waste, protects the body from injury and infection, produces vitamin D, and regulates the body’s temperature. There are two main layers of the skin: the dermis and the epidermis. The dermis is the inner layer of skin, just above a layer of fat, which contains nerves, blood vessels, hairs, oil glands, and sweat glands. The epidermis is the outermost layer of skin that is thinner than the dermis and does not contain blood vessels or nerve cells. hinge Types of joints Every place in your body where two bones come together is called a joint. The body has four kinds of movable joints ball and socket, hinge, pivot, and gliding joints. Immovable joints are joints between bones that do not allow movement. Examples of immovable joints are the joints between the bones of the skull. gliding ball & sock et pivot spongy bone compact bone connective tissue cartilage ligaments cardiac muscle skeletal muscle smooth muscle tendon

The Digestive System © C opyright NewPath Learning. All Rights Reserved. 94-4902 www.newpathlearning.com Mouth Mechanical digestion begins in the mouth where the teeth grind food into smaller pieces. The tongue mixes the food with saliva. Saliva moistens the food and begins the process of chemical digestion which breaks down starch into simple sugars. Esophagus The esophagus is a tube of muscle that connects the mouth to the stomach. The esophagus is lined with smooth muscle, which contracts in a wavelike motion forcing food to move down the esophagus in a process called peristalsis. Digestive Organs Peristalsis blood vessels small intestine villi capillaries lumen liver stomach pancreas digestive juices small intestine gall bladder Digestion is a process of breaking down different nutrients into molecules that the body can use. There are three main functions of the digestive system: 1. Breaks down foods into molecules that the body can use. 2. Absorbs the molecules into the blood and sends them throughout the body. 3. Eliminates waste from the body. Stomach After the esophagus, food enters the stomach. The stomach is made up of muscle which contracts, churning the food inside. This is a type of mechanical digestion. The stomach also produces digestive juices that coat the food and digests it chemically. The digestive juice contains an enzyme called pepsin which breaks down proteins into amino acids. Small intestine The majority of chemical digestion and absorption takes place in the small intestine. The chemicals and enzymes that are necessary for chemical digestion are produced by the small intestine, pancreas, and the liver. The pancreas produces enzymes that aid in the break down of fats, proteins, and starches. The liver produces bile, a chemical that breaks up fatty substances. After the liver produces bile, it stores it in a structure called the gallbladder. The inner lining of the small intestine has a layer of structures called villi which increase the surface area and allow nutrients to pass into the blood stream. Large intestine The large intestine is the last section of the digestive system and receives food that cannot be absorbed into the blood stream. While little digestion takes place here, the large intestine absorbs water from undigested food and stores solid wastes until they leave the body. The bacteria that’s present supplies the body with vitamin K. absorption (mostly small intestine) ingestion propulsion defecation mechanical digestion (chewing) (churning) (peristalsis) mechanical digestion chemical digestion Digestive Process rectum large intestine small intestine stomach pancreas liver tongue salivary glands esophagus food

DAIRY The six different types of nutrients that a body needs are: Carbohydrates Minerals Fats Vitamins Proteins Water The energy that nutrients provide is measured in calories. A calorie is defi ned as the amount of energy needed to increase the temperature of one gram of water one degree Celsius. Nutrients are the raw materials that are provided by food for energy and all essential processes of the body. The food pyramid is a basic guide to a healthy diet. Foods are categorized into six separate groups along with the daily recommended number of servings of each group. Nutrients water molecule Physcial activity is also recommended for a balance between food and exercise. Teenagers should be physically active for 60 minutes everyday, or most days. Carbohydrates are nutrients that are made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. They are a major source of energy for humans and other living organisms. There are simple and complex carbohydrates. Simple carbohydrates are also known as sugars. Complex carbohydrates are made up of units of sugar linked together. Starch and ber are examples of complex carbohydrates. Fats are high in energy and are made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Fats form certain parts of the cell structure, insulate the body from heat loss, and protect internal organs. There are two types of fats: saturated and unsaturated. Saturated fats are normally solid at room temperature and are found in food items like meat, dairy, and eggs. Usually, food items that contain saturated fats also contain cholesterol. Unsaturated fats are normally liquid at room temperature like the oils found in seafood and olives. Vitamins are an important part of a healthy diet because they help to carry out certain chemical reactions within the body. Although the body is able to make a few vitamins, most must be obtained from various foods. Fat-soluble vitamins dissolve in fat where they are stored and include vitamins A, D, E, and K. Water-soluble vitamins dissolve in water and cannot be stored in the body. Water-soluble vitamins include vitamins C and B. Water-soluble vitamins are important to have in your daily diet since they are not stored in the body. Minerals are nutrients that are absorbed by plants from the soil and cannot be made by living organisms. Only a small amount of minerals are needed for the body. Water is the most important nutrient of them all. Many important cell processes take place in water including the breakdown of nutrients. The average body needs about two liters of water everyday. Cholesterol Cholesterol is a fatlike substance typically found in animal products but it is also produced by the liver. Since only a small amount of fat is needed, a high fat content diet may result in plague build up in the arteries potentially causing heart disease. normal artery clogged artery Proteins are nutrients that contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen needed for growth and repair of tissues. Foods high in protein are meats, dairy, nuts, beans, and sh. Amino acids are the small units that are linked together chemically to make up proteins. The 20 different amino acids make up thousands of different proteins. While the body can make half of the amino acids it needs, the rest must be obtained from various foods. Photos courtesy of USDA.

The Circulatory System © C opyright NewPath Learning. All Rights Reserved. 94-4904 www.newpathlearning.com The circulatory system is made up of the heart, blood vessels, and blood. The circulatory system moves nutrients, gases and wastes to and from of the cells by the pumping action of the heart. It also helps to ght disease and infections and helps to maintain a constant body temperature. The Heart The most important structure of the circulatory system is the heart. The heart is a hollow muscle made of cardiac muscle that pumps blood to all the cells in the body. It lies underneath the breastbone and is protected by the rib cage. There are two loops in the circulatory system. The blood ows from the heart to the lungs and back to the heart in the rst loop. The blood ows from the heart, out to the body, and back to the heart in the second loop. Blood takes less than a minute to travel through both loops. During the rst loop, the blood leaves the right atrium, then is pumped out of the right ventricle to the lungs. This is where blood picks up oxygen and drops off carbon dioxide and other wastes. The blood then returns to the heart. During the second loop, the blood leaves the left atrium, then is pumped out of the left ventricle through the aorta, to all of the cells in the body. The blood drops off oxygen to the cells and picks up carbon dioxide and other wastes. Blood Vessels The arteries are blood vessels that move blood away from the heart and on to the rest of the body. Capillaries are small blood vessels that connect the arteries to the veins and are where substances are exchanged. The veins are blood vessels that carry blood loaded with wastes back to the heart. A B AB O Blood Groups The main blood groups are A, AB, B, and O. The blood type of a person is determined by the presence or absence of antigens (markers) found on the surface of red blood cells. The markers also determine the type of blood you can safely receive in a blood transfusion. What is blood made of? If you were to place whole blood into a test tube and spin it, it would separate into three layers. The top layer would be the liquid part of the blood called plasma. The second layer would consist of white blood cells and platelets and the last layer would be the red blood cells. Plasma is made mostly of water and contains dissolved nutrients, vitamins, minerals and carries wastes from the cells. plasma white blood cells platelets red blood cells whole blood white blood cells red blood cells platelets The Lymphatic System Blood will occasionally leak out through the walls of the blood vessels. The liquid is brought back to the bloodstream by a network of vein-like vessels called the lymphatic system. Once the uid is within the lymphatic system it is called lymph. Lymph is put back into the veins through lymphatic vessels. As the liquid passes through the lymphatic system, it enters structures called lymph nodes. Red blood cells are made of a protein that binds together with oxygen molecules called hemoglobin. White blood cells are the disease ghters of the body. Platelets are fragments of cells that are critical to forming blood clots to prevent bleeding. lymph node 1st loop lungs body organs body trunk and limbs 2nd loop aorta left atrium left ventricle right right atrium atrium right ventricle pulmonary artery artery vein capillaries valves lymph vessels lymph vessels Veins have valves which allow the blood to ow in one direction and prevent it from owing backwards. antigens mitral valve tricuspid valve

The Immune System & Disease © C opyright NewPath Learning. All Rights Reserved. 94-4905 www.newpathlearning.com Images courtesy of NIH pathogen phagocyte stomach salivary glands Our body has created barriers known as the rst line of defense to keep the pathogens out. The skin, mouth, stomach, and breathing passages are such barriers that trap and kill most of the pathogens that we come in contact with on a daily basis. The nose, trachea, and bronchi all contain mucus and cilia that trap and remove pathogens. Pathogens that are swallowed are destroyed by saliva in our mouth or acid in the stomach. An infectious disease is a disease that can be spread from one organism to another. Many infectious diseases are caused by organisms that are too small to see without a microscope. The organisms that are the cause of diseases are called pathogens. Each pathogen causes a specifi c disease. The major groups of pathogens that cause disease in humans are protists, fungi, bacteria, and viruses. Noninfectious diseases are diseases that are not spread from one person to another, such as diabetes, allergies, and cancer. The second line of defense is a response to damaged tissue called the infl ammatory response. The infl ammatory response causes the body to release chemicals and white blood cells into the tissue near the injured area so that the chemicals and white blood cells can ght the invading pathogens. The response is the same no matter what the invader is. The white blood cells involved with the infl ammatory response are called phagocytes. A phagocyte is a white blood cell that surrounds the invading pathogen and breaks it down. The area that is affected by an infl ammatory response becomes red and swollen because the blood vessels widen to allow the uids and blood to get to the injured site. 1 2 T cell T cell T cell T cell B cell B cell bacteria fungi protist virus Body Defenses and Disease trachea bronchi phagocyte engulfs and destroys bacteria inflammatory chemicals released infection site bacterium blood vessel becomes more permeable white blood cells migrate into surrounding tissue 1.

Antibodies destroy viruses. antibody infected cell lung nose skin The third line of defense is called the immune response. An immune response is part of our body’s disease ghting system, also known as the immune system. The immune system can tell the difference between various pathogens, so that they are specifi cally targeted. The white blood cells involved with the immune response are called lymphocytes. There are two types of lymphocytes called T lymphocytes (T cells) and B lymphocytes (B cells). T cells identify exactly which pathogens have invaded the body. Each type of T cell recognizes one pathogen. What the T cells actually recognize is something called an antigen that is on the pathogen. Different antigens have different chemical structures. T cells can distinguish these differences. B cells are lymphocytes that produce chemicals, called antibodies, which help to destroy the different types of pathogens. Some antibodies will attach to the antigens causing the pathogens to clump together. This makes it easier for phagocytes to detroy them. Other antibodies prevent the pathogens from attaching to body cells. antibody 3

The Respiratory System © C opyright NewPath Learning. All Rights Reserved. 94-4906 www.newpathlearning.com The respiratory system consists of the airways, the lungs, and the respiratory muscles that assist the movement of air into and out of the body. The primary function of the respiratory system is to supply the blood with oxygen and to remove carbon dioxide. Structures of Respiration The air starts its journey to the lungs through one of the two nostrils of the nose. The nasal cavity is lined with cilia and mucus that trap and eliminate particles. Blood vessels in the nose begin to warm the air entering the body while the mucus moistens the air. The air then enters the throat or pharynx. Once through the pharynx, the air enters the trachea. The trachea is the airway that leads from the pharynx to the lungs and is also called the windpipe. The trachea has rings of cartilage that help it to stay open and are lined with cilia and mucus to trap invading particles. The lungs are the key organs of the respiratory system. The left bronchus leads into the left lung and the right bronchus leads into the right lung. The bronchi branch off into smaller and smaller passageways. At the very end of each branch are structures called alveoli. Process of Gas Exchange When air enters the alveoli in the lungs, oxygen passes through the walls of the alveoli and then the walls of the capillaries and into the blood. Carbon dioxide passes from the blood, through the capillary walls and into the alveoli. This is the process of gas exchange. The alveoli are small sacs within the lungs that specialize in the exchange of gas between the blood and air. The Mechanics of Breathing The diaphragm plays an important role in the breathing process. When a person inhales, the rib muscles contract which cause the chest to move up and out. At the same time, the diaphragm also contracts moving downward. This action allows the lungs to expand and take in air. When a person exhales, the diaphragm and rib muscles relax. This decreases the size of the chest and lungs and forces the air to exit the lungs. diaphram exhale inhale CO2 out O2 in alveoli wall sinuses trachea larynx lung bronchus diaphram pharynx RBC carbon dioxide wall of alveoli capillary nose alveoli oxygen bronchioles

The Excretory System © C opyright NewPath Learning. All Rights Reserved. 94-4907 www.newpathlearning.com The system of collecting the wastes produced by the body and eliminating them is the job of the excretory system. Excess water and urea are the main wastes that the body needs to eliminate. The structures of the excretory system which include the kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra maintain a stable internal environment (homeostasis) free of harmful materials. Kidneys are organs that eliminate wastes produced by our cells. Each of the two kidneys contains about a million tiny structures called nephrons that lter blood and remove wastes but still keep the substances needed by the body. The wastes are eliminated from the body in the form of urine that’s produced in the nephrons. Lungs and Skin In addition to the kidneys, the lungs and skin remove some wastes such as carbon dioxide and water from the body as well. Carbon dioxide and some water vapor are removed from the body when we exhale. How the kidneys filter waste After entering the kidneys, blood ows through smaller and smaller arteries until it reaches capillaries in a nephron. Waste products in the blood move across from the capillaries into the urine-carrying tubes inside the nephron. These tubes are called tubules. Any needed materials by the body, such as glucose and water are kept or returned to the bloodstream by the nephrons. The waste liquid that remains in the tubules is called urine. The urine collected in the tubules empties into the ureters and then on to the urinary bladder. The Urinary Bladder The ureters carry the urine to a structure called the urinary bladder. When this structure is full, it pushes on nerves that let the body know that the bladder must be emptied. The urine leaves the body through a structure called the urethra. The sweat glands in the skin, which help to maintain a constant temperature, excrete water and urea during perspiration. urethra bladder ureter nephron lung alveoli exhalation sweat gland tubule kidney adrenal gland ureter capillaries artery vein aorta kidney ureter bladder

The Nervous System © C opyright NewPath Learning. All Rights Reserved. 94-4908 www.newpathlearning.com spinal cord The nervous system is a communication network that gathers information from inside and outside the body, responds to the information that it gathers, and helps to maintain homeostasis. The Peripheral Nervous System The peripheral nervous system consists of all of the nerves that branch throughout the body from the central nervous system. The spinal cord is located in the center of the back and links the brain to the majority of other nerves in the peripheral nervous system. There are two different types of nerve systems that make up the peripheral nervous system - the somatic nervous system and the autonomic nervous system. The nerves of the somatic nervous system control voluntary movements while the autonomic nervous system control involuntary movements. The cells that carry messages throughout the nervous system are called neurons. The messages that neurons carry are called nerve impulses. The Central Nervous System The central nervous system , which includes the brain and spinal cord, is the control center of the body. The three main regions of the brain include the cerebrum, the cerebellum, and the brain stem. The Brain The cerebrum controls functions such as movement, the senses, speech and abstract thought. The cerebellum provides muscle coordination and helps to maintain balance. The brain stem controls involuntary muscle actions such as breathing and heart rate. The Five Senses Sensation, Touch Hearing Taste Vision Smell Sou nd wave s Your eyes are your sense organs which respond to light enabling you to see. Specialized receptors in the nose react with chemicals in the air and provide you with the sense of smell. The ears are specialized organs that are able to pick up vibrations created by sound. The skin is the receptor for touch. Different receptors can pick up information, such as light touch, intense pressure, pain, and temperature. The sense of taste is related to the sense of smell and also depends on chemicals in food triggering a response in receptors in the mouth. There are four different types of taste buds on the tongue. retina cornea iris lens optic nerve receptors ear ear drum nerve cochlea bitter sour sweet salt neuron dendrite axon synapse brain nerves

endocrine cell hormones target body cell hormone receptor hormone receptor complex blood vessel adrenal gland kidney The Endocrine System © C opyright NewPath Learning. All Rights Reserved. 94-4909 www.newpathlearning.com The endocrine system controls many of the body’s daily activities and regulates growth and development. It is made up of glands known as endocrine glands which are organs that produce and secrete special chemicals called hormones into the bloodstream. Hormones Hormones control many different functions of the body by speeding up, slowing down, or turning on or off the activities of various organs. Because hormones are transported by the blood, they are able to regulate body activities far away from the glands that they are produced in. Hormones are able to target a specifi c organ because they all have a unique chemical structure. A particular hormone will only react with specifi c target cells. A target cell is a cell that will only recognize a hormone that has a certain chemical structure. Glands of the Endocrine System The endocrine system is controlled by the nervous system. When a hormone is released from an endocrine gland, the brain sends a nerve impulse to the gland telling it to release the hormone. Negative Feedback The endocrine system maintains homeostasis the same way that your house is heated during the winter months. Once the heat drops down to a certain point, the heat will turn on and warm the house to the set temperature and then turns off. This system is called negative feedback. Cold Hypothalamus Anterior Pituitary Thyroid Hormone released (thyroxine) + + + + Temperature increases The hypothalamus is a small part of the brain which links the nervous system and the endocrine system and controls the pituitary gland. The pituitary gland releases hormones in response to receiving nerve impulses from the hypothalamus. The hormones from the pituitary gland turn other endocrine glands on. The thyroid gland controls the metabolism of food. The parathyroid glands control the level of calcium found in blood. The pancreas regulates the level of sugar (glucose) in blood by producing the hormones insulin and glucagon. The adrenal glands release adrenaline in response to an emergency situation and help to maintain salt and water balance in the kidneys and sugar in the blood. The testes release the sex hormone testosterone which controls male development. The ovaries release the sex hormone estrogen which controls female development. The thymus produces hormones that stimulate the production of some infection-fi ghting cells and in maturing T cells, an important part of our immune system.

The Reproductive System © C opyright NewPath Learning. All Rights Reserved. 94-4910 www.newpathlearning.com The male reproductive system produces sperm cells and the hormone testosterone. The structures within the scrotum, a pouch of external skin, are called the testes. The testes produce sperm cells and testosterone. Testosterone is a hormone that controls the physical characteristics of a male. The female reproductive system produces eggs and provides nourishment for the developing offspring until birth if an egg is fertilized. The organs of the female reproductive system include the vagina, uterus, and ovaries. Sexual reproduction involves the production of an egg by a female and sperm cells by a male. The sperm and egg unite in a process called fertilization. A fertilized egg, or a zygote, develops into an embryo and then into a fetus. The embryo attaches to the lining of the uterus. A membrane surrounds the embryo and develops into a sac that is uid-fi lled called an amniotic sac. Another membrane called the placenta forms which links the mother to the developing embryo. The umbilical cord forms between the fetus and the placenta which contains blood vessels linking the fetus to the mother. The blood of the mother and of the offspring remains separate but ow next to each other in capillaries. Nutrients and oxygen diffuse across the capillaries supplying the embryo with those materials. Wastes are brought out in the opposite manner. A baby is born approximately nine months after fertilization takes place. ovary egg uterus vagina fallopian tubes cervix estrogen molecule testosterone molecule bladder tube testis prostate urethra bladder urethra testis rectum prostate vagina uterus cervix vagina fallopian tubes ovary fertilized egg sperm fetus 6 week old embryo umbilical cord bladder uterus penis Two ovaries are located on each side of the body. Ovaries produce the hormone estrogen and during each menstrual cycle, an egg is released.

Step 2 - The fertilized egg, or zygote, travels down the fallopian tube to the uterus. Step 3 - Embryo attaches to the wall of the uterus. Step 4 - Embryo develops. After week 9 the embryo is called a fetus.
