This document outlines an introductory health class on the human body systems. It provides objectives for students to learn about tissues, organs and organ systems, their functions, related diseases, and homeostasis. Summaries are given for the 11 body systems - circulatory, respiratory, skeletal, muscular, digestive, excretory, integumentary, immune, nervous, endocrine and reproductive. Examples of organs, functions and common problems are outlined for each system. Students will work in pairs to present on one system, with options for creative presentations.

1. Eleven Systems:
One Body
Health Class “Intro to the
human body systems”
9th&10th Grade Health

2. Objectives
 Identify & compare tissues, organs, and
organ systems.
 Describe the functions of all the body system
& parts.
 Research diseases related to all the different
body systems.
 Be able to fully explain at least one system,
listing organs and function.
 Understanding the systems and how they
work to maintain homeostasis within the body.

3. The Circulatory System
 The transportation system of the body. The
circulatory system is responsible for
making sure your body get's the fuel it
needs everyday, to transport wastes your
body doesn't need anymore, and even to
transport cells and hormones that
someone needs to grow and fight off
disease.

4. The Circulatory System
The Circulatory System is
made up of:
 Heart
 Arteries
 Veins
 Capillaries
Can you point out some of the parts from the circulatory system?

6. The Circulatory System
Problems in the Circulatory System:
 Anemia
 Leukemia
 Hemophilia
 Arteriosclerosis
 Stroke
 High Blood Pressure

7. The Circulatory System
Heart
Pumps blood to the
entire body.
The heart is
connected to all
major blood vessels

8. Arteries
The largest blood vessels, responsible for
carrying oxygenated blood away from the
heart, to the rest of the body.
Veins
Responsible for carrying unoxygenated
blood to the heart, from the rest of the
body.
Capillaries
The Smallest Blood Vessels. They carry the
blood from the Arteries to the body's cells
and then back to the Veins. Nutrients,
gasses, and wastes are exchanged through
the capillaries.

9. The Respiratory System
The respiratory system is responsible for us all
breathing. Split into two parts, known as the
upper and lower respiratory tracts. They're
made up of the Nose and Mouth, and the
Lungs, respectively.
Problems in the Respiratory System:
The Common Cold
Pneumonia
Bronchitis
Asthma
Emphysema
Cancer

12. The Skeletal System
Made of 206 bones, the Skeletal System is
the foundation of your body.
Problems in the Skeletal System:
Scoliosis
Bursitis
Arthritis
Osteoporosis
Injuries:
Fractures
Dislocation
Sprain

14. The Muscular System
The group of tissues that makes body parts
move.
Problems in the Muscular System:
Strain
Cramp
Bruise
Pulled or Torn Muscle
Muscular Fatigue

16. The Digestive System
The Organs that take in food and break it down
into a chemical form that can be absorbed into
the body.
Problems in the Digestive System:
Indigestion and Heartburn
Nausea and Vomiting
Ulcers
Gallstones
Cirrhosis of the Liver
Halitosis or Bad Breath

18. The Excretory System
The purpose of the Excretory system is to provide a way
for your body to expel the waste from it.
The Excretory system is made up of the Large intestine
(The Colon) and the Kidneys (The Urinary Tract)
Problems in the Excretory System:
Constipation
Diarrhea
Flatulence or Gas
Kidney Stones
Urinary Tract Infections
Cancer

20. The Integumentary System
The Integumentary System is made up of mainly your
Skin, but includes the hair, nails, sweat glands and oil
glands.
Your integumentary system plays a vital role in everyday
living, providing you protection from water and germs,
regulation of body temperature, and allowing you to
feel things like pressure, touch, heat, cold and pain.
Problems with the Skin:
Warts
Calluses and Corns
Cold Sores or Fever Blisters
Skin Cancer

22. The Immune System
The function of the Immune System is to protect
your body from germs and bacteria. Without
these naturally born defenses, you'd be sick all the
time at at a high risk for life-threatening diseases.
Problems with the Immune System:
Immunodeficiency Disorders
Autoimmune Diseases
Allergies
HIV

23. How the Immune System works
Posted to Youtube by: draculauren14 http://youtu.be/TxU8c4vEHWk

24. The Immune System
 The Immune System has 2 main defense
mechanisms, Natural Immunity and Acquired
Immunity.
 Natural Immunity is something you're born with,
to resist or be immune to certain diseases.
 Acquired Immunity is your body remembering
a disease, so it's better prepared to fight it off
the next time you get it.

25. The Nervous System
 The single job of your nervous system, is to maintain
Homeostasis (A stable internal Environment). The
Nervous system controls and coordinates everything
in your body, to make sure it works as one flowing
unit.
 The Nervous system does this by sending messages to
the muscles and glands via nerve impulses.
 Problems in the Nervous System:
 Pinched Nerve
 Infections
 Epilepsy
 Tumors
 Cerebral Palsy
 Multiple Sclerosis

27. The Endocrine System
 The Endocrine System works with the nervous
system, helping to accomplish their mutual goals
with different methods. The Endocrine system
secretes hormones to send messages to the cells
in the body via the blood.
 Hormones help maintain a person's flow, helping
the nervous system with body parts that it can't
message through nerve impulses. Hormones can
have various effects on a person, such as energy
control, sugar and insulin balance, water and salt
balance, and even affecting emotions.

28. Intro to the Endocrine System

29. The Endocrine System
Problems with the Endocrine System:
The Pituitary Gland
The Thyroid Gland
Diabetes

30. The Reproductive System
 The reproductive system is responsible for the
continuation of the human race.
 Males and Females each have unique
reproductive systems, that together can create
life.
Male Reproductive Problems:
Testicular Cancer
Inguinal Hernia
Female Reproductive Problems:
Premenstrual Syndrome
Vaginitis
Cancer of the Female Organs

32. Assessment
Students will pair off and pick one of the
body systems to prepare a presentation.
You have the option to use any creative
form to represent your information but you
must hand in a written plan to me al least
one week before your group presentation.
A further description of the project and the
rubric for evaluation have been posted on
engrade for you.
