Teacher Notes

Links to videos appear in THIS color. The first video is a comprehensive video of all major organ systems and homeostasis. Other videos are specific is organ systems or homeostasis and should be used based on the needs of students.

The table on the student packet can be completed in a variety of formats. It is recommended that table be complete using gradual release. (The teacher models an example, students direct the teacher to create another example, teacher directs students to create an example, students work in groups to create examples, students individually create examples.)

Cells Tissue Organ Organ System Organism

There are eight (8) major human body systems. (Dr.’s R Nice)

Human Body Systems

D - Digestive SystemR - Respiratory SystemS - MusculoSkeletal System

R - Reproductive System

N - Nervous SystemI – Immune SystemC - Circulatory SystemE - Excretory System

BrainPop Video!

There are three types of muscles:

Skeletal (Voluntary), Smooth (Involuntary), Cardiac (Involuntary).

Functions:

Control movement.

Musculoskeletal (Muscular/Skeletal) System

BrainPop Video!Structures:

Composed of :1. bones,

2. cartilage,

3. ligaments, and

4. tendons.

Functions: 1. provides movement, 2. protection, 3. shape, 4. support 5. produces red blood cells.

Skeletal System

How do the muscular and skeletal systems work together?

BrainPop Video!

Structures: Mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small- intestines, large- intestines, rectum, anus, liver, pancreas, gall bladder, appendix.

Functions:

To digest food

provide nutrition to the body

remove the waste from the body.

Digestive System

Includes many systems such as digestive, respiratory, skin and urinary system. Urinary system is considered the Excretory system.

Structures: Kidenys, ureters, urinary- bladder, urethra.

Functions: Removes waste in the form of urine which consists of urea, water and other salts.

Excretory System

How do the digestive and execratory systems work together?

Functions: Breathing brings oxygen into the lungsRemoves carbon- dioxideProvides oxygen to red blood cells

Cellular respiration: converts oxygen and glucose into carbon dioxide, water and energyIs the reverse process of photosynthesis (plants)

Respiration:C6H12O6 + 6 O2 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + ENERGY Photosynthesis:

6 CO2 + 6 H2O + ENERGY C6H12O6 + 6 O2

Respiratory System

Function

Heart:

Red blood cells:• provides oxygen & nutrients to body

White blood cells: fights diseases (Immune System)

Circulatory System

How do the respiratory and circulatory systems work together?

Structures: Central Nervous System (CNS): Brain + Spinal cord Peripheral Nervous System (PNS): Nerves

Functions: Responds to stimuli to maintain Homeostasis.

Nervous System:

Structures - Body has 3 lines of defense: skin, breathing passages, mouth and stomach.

Functions: It is a defense mechanism of the body. It fights diseases. Bacteria, viruses and fungal infections

Immune System

Structures: Glands, and hormones.

Functions: Endocrine system produces chemicals that control many of the body’s daily activities as well as long term changes such as growth and development.

Reproductive System

Structures: Ovaries, testes, eggs, sperms.

Functions: Sexual reproduction involves the production of eggs by the female and sperm by the male, which join together during fertilization.

Reproductive System
