Good Morning Guys!

I thought this might be a fun way to learn about the Human Body!

Introduction:

The human body is the most wonderful, complex machine in the world. Your body can walk and run, climb and sit. It can see, hear, smell, taste, and feel. It can eat, talk, laugh, lift things, play games, think, and read.

While these things are going on, you are breathing; there is blood flowing through your blood vessels; you are digesting food; and your body is doing a million other jobs at the same time! All through your life this marvelous machine is at work-even when you are sleeping.

Background information:

These are a few systems of the human body:

 

The nervous system: Your brain, your spinal cord, and the millions of nerve cells in your body make up your nervous system.

 

Some great links about the brain:

The circulatory system: Your circulatory system is make up of your heart, arteries, veins, and very thin blood vessels called capillaries. Here is another link to tell you more about the circulatory system. Take the online quiz after you're through reading...

The digestive system: Your mouth, esophagus, stomach, large and small intestines and other organs make up your digestive system. Here's some more cool information on the digestive system! Another informative link on the DIGESTIVE SYSTEM Take the quiz when you're through! Check out the illustration! This one too!

The respiratory system: Oxygen enters your body through your nose or mouth, moves down your windpipe and into your lungs. Your lungs are the most important part of your respiratory system. Here is another link to tell you about the respiratory system. Check out the diagram!!! Some other respiratory information is here!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh, and for my friends up there, we can't forget the skeletal system! Check out these different bones of the body...

Now I know all of you think you're pretty strong! BUT do you know which of those muscles you might be showing off? Check out the muscular system and see if these are the ones you think are sore after a hard day of sports!
