3. Brainstorm and Discuss
Our body systems must function well for us to live
a long and healthy life.
What can people do to ensure healthy
body systems and a longer life?
What kind of behavior has serious
negative effects on our body systems?

4. Report Back
Share your
ideas with
the class.

5. 5
Which body system
helps you think and
react?

6. 6
The nervous system
facilitates thinking,
stores memory, and
sends messages
throughout our body.

7. 7
The brain is the
primary organ of the
nervous system and
has many functions.

8. The star attraction of the nervous system is
the brain. The largest section of the brain, the
cerebrum, performs our daily thinking
processes. Blows to the head can cause serious
damage to the brain.

9. Class Discussion
1.What is a concussion?
2.What are the causes and
symptoms of a concussion?
9

10. Different areas of the brain have
very different functions.

11. The cerebrum is divided into two
connected halves called the right
hemisphere and the left hemisphere.
Both hemispheres carry out thought
processes such language, speech,
memory, and the perception of sensory
input.
11

12. 12
Discuss
How does a right
brain learner differ
from a left brain
learner?

13. • The cerebellum is located near the rear
base of the brain and controls muscle
movement, coordination, and balance.
Playing basketball or a musical instrument
would require development of brain cells
in the cerebellum.
• The medulla oblongata is part of the brain
stem located at the lower base of the brain.
It relays neurological signals between the
brain and the spinal cord.
13

14. The basic building blocks of the
nervous system are the millions
of nerve cells called neurons.
14

15. Neurons are located throughout
the brain, spinal cord, and
peripheral nervous system.
15

16. Damage to any one of the important parts of
a neuron can result in a serious malfunction of
the nervous system.
16

17. 17
Discuss
What happens to the
brain during and after
a stroke?

18. The brain sends and receives messages
through the spinal cord and a large
system of peripheral nerves.
18

19. Millions of nerve impulses send messages to every
tissue in the body. When a person thinks it’s time to
walk, the brain sends a message to the spinal chord
and through the peripheral nerves to move the right
muscles for walking.
19

20. Let’s Review Nervous System
Organs and Their Functions.
20

21. 21

22. 22
Nerve cells help the nervous
system organs perform their
jobs.
Diseases such as Multiple
Sclerosis, Parkinson’s, and
Alzheimer’s damage nerve cells
so the nervous system does not
function properly.

23. The nervous system is fragile and
provides many important functions.
When damage occurs through
disease or trauma, portions of the
nervous system may not work.
23

24. 24

25. 25
Class Discussion
Do you know anyone who
has had Alzheimer’s
Disease?

26. 26
Discuss
Which body system
brings oxygen into our
body?

27. Discuss
Which organ in our chest
receives oxygen and
enables oxygen to pass
into our blood stream?
27

28. Respiration occurs in the two
lobes of the lungs.
28

29. Air enters through the trachea and the
bronchus and into each lung.
29

30. The respiratory system brings oxygen into
our body and removes carbon dioxide.

31. A network of tiny tubes, bronchioles,
transports oxygen to a cluster of air sacs called
alveoli. When a person has bronchitis, the
bronchial tubes become filled with mucus.
When the air sacs become filled with fluid, a
person has pneumonia and will lose the ability
to breathe.
31

32. Muscular tissue called the diaphragm
pushes from the bottom of the lungs to
help squeeze air in and out as we
breathe.
32

33. Let’s review the key parts
of the respiratory system.
33

34. 34

35. Discuss
Which body system
has organs that enable
our body to move?
35

36. 36
Muscles are everywhere in our
body, even in our head.
The jaw is a very powerful
muscle.
Our heart is a muscular pump
that beats over 40 million times
per year.

37. The human body has more than 640
voluntary and involuntary muscles.

38. 38

39. 39
Discuss
Why is it good when
your muscles get
sore from
exercising?

40. Word Meanings
What does the word
excretion mean?
40

41. 41
In order to stay
healthy, the body
must remove various
types of waste every
day.

42. The excretory system
helps the body get rid of
harmful waste.
42

43. The excretory system includes the kidneys,
bladder, liver, lungs, and skin.

44. Discuss
Why is the skin included as
part of the excretory
system?
44

45. When the body sweats, unwanted
salt and waste are removed from
the body.
45

46. Sweat glands below the surface of
the skin are an important part of
the excretory system.
46

47. Discuss
Which organ is located in our
lower back area and removes
waste from our blood stream?
47

48. Although we have two kidneys,
we only need one kidney to
function efficiently.
48

49. As blood flows into the kidney, it is
filtered, and toxins are removed from the
blood stream.
49

50. Many people donate a kidney so
another person’s life may be saved.
50

51. Discuss
• What happens if waste is not
properly removed from the body
on a regular basis?
• What is dialysis? Do you know
anyone who has to have dialysis?
51

52. Let’s Review the
Excretory System
52

53. 53

54. 54
The overall functioning of the
body is controlled by chemicals
produced in the body’s glands.
Hormones play an important
role in how our organs work.

55. The many organs of the endocrine system
include the pituitary gland, thyroid gland,
adrenal glands, and the pancreas.

56. 56
Discuss
Which gland is activated when
you hear a loud scary scream?
How does this help you?

57. Discuss
What is an adrenalin rush?
Do you know where the adrenal
glands are located?
57

58. Hormones and Enzymes are
Critical for Healthy Functioning
• The pancreas secretes insulin and glucagon to
regulate blood glucose levels.
• The thyroid produces hormones that determine
the bodies rate of metabolism. A sluggish, tired
feeling daily could mean that the thyroid is not
producing enough thyroxine.
• The adrenal glands secrete adrenaline which
increases cell and body activity.
58

59. 59
Glands and Hormones
Controls body growth and other
glands
Controls body’s use
of glucose
Controls rate food is turned
into energy
Stimulates body action when
angry, excited, or frightened
Produces female
characteristics

60. Review and Discuss
How do different
hormones affect our body?
Where do these hormones
come from?
60

61. Discuss
How do your cells get
the nutrients they need
to function?
61

62. The Digestive System
The digestive system processes food,
removes unwanted matter, and
enables nutrients to enter the blood
stream.
62

63. The digestive system occupies the lower body
cavity region. Food must pass through the
entire digestive system so nutrients can be
captured for use by the body’s cells.

64. Digestion begins when food is
chewed and swallowed. The food
moves down the esophagus and
into the stomach.
64

65. Several layers of stomach muscles mash and
churn as acids and enzymes help break down
the food.
65

66. The liver is the largest organ in the body
cavity. It has hundreds of important functions
including producing bile for digestion and
proteins for blood plasma. The liver cleans
poisonous substances from the blood stream.
66

67. The liver, pancreas, and stomach all play key
roles in digestion. The gallbladder releases
bile which helps digest fat.
67

68. After food leaves the stomach, it
proceeds through the small
intestines where nutrients are
absorbed by the blood stream.
68

69. The small intestine is the longest
part of the digestive system at
seven meters long.
69

70. The walls of the small intestines enable
digested nutrients to pass through the
walls and into the blood stream.
70

71. Can you name some of these
digestive system organs?
71

110. Conduct Research on the Issues
Use technology and text sources to gather
information about how our choices in life can affect
the proper functioning of our body systems. Choose
an area such as sleep, vitamins, drugs,
tobacco, diet, or exercise and conduct
research. Narrow your topic to one of these
areas and its impact on health.
This will be a short research assignment and should include two
or three pages of notes. The notes will be used during the next
class discussion to review ideas and solutions and to write a
proposal. 110

111. Essential Questions to
Guide Research
• How does sleep affect the body?
• What are the potential long term negative effects of
drug use?
• What impact does stress have on the body?
• What are the positive and negative affects of
vitamins and minerals on our body systems?
