The skeletal system gives the body its structure and shape through bones of varying sizes and joints that allow movement. Bones contain living cells that help them repair if broken. The rib cage protects the heart and lungs.
The digestive system breaks down food through teeth, stomach acids, and the small intestine before waste is passed through the large intestine and rectum. The tongue's bumps and taste buds allow for flavor detection.
The circulatory system pumps blood through arteries and veins using the heart. Blood carries oxygen, nutrients, waste, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. The heart beats faster during exercise to supply more oxygen to muscles.
This presentation contains the explanation of different systems in our body. For example : respiratory,circulatory etc.I hope you will enjoy the presentation :)

Common Bone and Muscle Injuries
Injuries-harm or damage.
Disease- an illness that affects the person, animal, or pants. A condition that prevents the body or mind from working normally.
1.Fracture- a break in the bone.
2.Dislocation- occurs when a bone in the joint is displaced or has moved out of its proper position.
3. Sprain- an injury to a ligament caused by excessive stretching. It brings so much pain and swelling in the injured part.
4. Cramp- A strong muscle contraction that can be very painful lasting for a few minutes but massaging the muscle can often relieve the pain.
5. Bruise- muscles become black or blue due to blood clot when you get hit or when you bumped into something hard.
6. Osteoporosis- caused by thinning and weakening of bones usually experienced by elderly people. The bones become brittle and weak.
7.Arthritis- a common joint disorder characterized by inflammation of the fingers and joints of the body.
8.Rickets- a bone caused by a deficiency in vitamin D usually observed in children.
9.Polio- it is an acute infection caused by a virus that attacks the nerve cells of the brain and spinal cord resulting to paralysis.
10. Scoliosis. Every person's spine curves a little bit; a certain amount of curvature is necessary for people to move and walk properly.
How to take care of our muscles and bones?
Eat healthy food, especially dairy foods, which give your bones the calcium they need.
Get plenty of exercise and make sure that you protect your bones when you play sport.
Have a healthy well balanced diet and exercise every day. a healthy diet which has milk products, fish and meat will help your muscles to get the protein they need to build up to be strong and healthy.
STOMACH AND SMALL INTESTINES
Stomach- is a big sack between the esophagus and the small intestines.
The stomach contains hydrochloric acid made by stomach cells. This acid kills bacteria in the food.
It is 12 inches long and 6 inches wide.
J-shaped muscular bag that stores the food and breaks it down into tiny pieces.
DIGESTIVE SYSTEM
STAGES OF DIGESTION
1. Chewing ( mouth and tongue)-When you chew your food it breaks up big pieces into little pieces that are easier to digest and swallow.
2. Swallowing (esophagus)-tongue helps to push food into the back of our throat. Then there are special throat muscles that force the food down into a long tube that leads to our stomach, called the esophagus.
3. Stomach-food hangs out in the stomach for around four hours. While the food sits there, more enzymes go to work on it, breaking down things like proteins that our bodies can use. The stomach kills a lot of bad bacteria as well, so we don't get sick.
4. Small Intestine - The first part of the small intestine works with juices from the liver and pancreas to continue to break down our food. The second part is where the food gets absorbed from the intestine and into our body through the blood.
5. Large Intestine - The last stage is the large
We can learn the answer to this question by
observing, hypothesizing, experimenting, and
analysing. We are complex living beings in a
complex, contradictory, ever-changing world. We
know that we do not understand everything about
ourselves, but by using this scientific method
we can keep learning more and more.
Without our bodies we are nothing. A person
cannot exist without a body. In this book you
can see pictures of some basic structures of the
human body. You can also begin to see the
interconnections between the different parts of
the body in order to understand how the body
functions.
We should warn you that there are two serious
misconceptions that you may get from this book.
One misconception is that any part of the human
body exists in a static state. Actually everything
in the body is in a constant state of movement
and change. It is constantly being broken down
and rebuilt. Every thing is in the process of
becoming something else. Actually, we are not
made of things, but of processes. Thus, on the
left-hand pages, we have briefly discussed some
of the processes and functions of the structures
seen on the right-hand pages.
The second misconception is that the human
body systems exist as separate entities. They
cannot function separately. They are all
interconnected and dependent on each other.
Some of the same organs even belong to more
than one system. For example, the long bones
appear in both the skeletal and the lymphatic
systems, since in addition to providing support
they also manufacture blood cells. The ovaries
appear in both the hormonal and the reproductive
systems, since they produce both hormones and
ova. These human body systems are merely
useful ways of classifying and studying the
structure and function of the body. All together
they function and interact with each other and
with the surroundings to produce a conscious,
living human being.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
How to Create Map Views in the Odoo 17 ERPCeline George
The map views are useful for providing a geographical representation of data. They allow users to visualize and analyze the data in a more intuitive manner.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
Palestine last event orientationfvgnh .pptxRaedMohamed3
An EFL lesson about the current events in Palestine. It is intended to be for intermediate students who wish to increase their listening skills through a short lesson in power point.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The Skeletal system
Why do we have bones?
There are more than 206 bones inside us, all
joined together to make up our skeleton. Our
skeleton gives our body support and shape. Bones
are different sizes and shapes, depending on the
work they do. Our thigh bones or femurs are the
largest bones in our body. They are long and
strong to support the weight of our body
whenever we stand up, run, walk or jump.
The head bone is called skull, and it protects our
brains.
How do bones fit together?
Most of our bones are linked by joints so they can move in different
directions. The knee joint is where the curved bottom of the femur fits
into the curved top end of the tibia. The ends of the bones are covered in
slippery fluid so the knee can move backwards and forwards smoothly.
What happens if you break a bone?
Bones contain living cells that help them grow longer and stronger as you
grow. If you break a bone, the cells repair the damage and the bone mends
itself. Sometimes, a doctor sets the broken bone in a hard plaster cast to
stop it from moving. This helps the bone to mend in the correct position.

What does the rib cage do?
It acts as a shield that protects the heart and lungs.
Both men and women have 12 pairs of ribs.

Amazing!
Nearly half the bones in our body are in
our hands, feet, wrists and ankles!
We have exactly the same number of
neck bones as a giraffe!

The digestive system
Why do we need to eat?
We cannot live without food. It gives us energy and makes us grow. Before
our body can use the food we eat, it has to be broken down into tiny pieces,
so that nutrients are small enough to pass into our blood. This process is
called digestion. Our digestive system starts in our mouth.
Where does food go?
Our teeth and saliva break down food in our mouth. Then, we swallow the
food and it goes down a tube called esophagus to our stomach. There it is
mixed with chemicals to make a thick soup. Then this mixture travels slowly
along a long tube called the small intestine. Nutrients pass through its thin
walls into our blood to go round our body. The remaining food travels to our
large intestine, which absorbs water. Solid wastes are stored in our rectum
until we go to the toilet.

Why is the surface of our tongue bumpy?
If you look at your tongue in a mirror, you
can see small bumps on it. Around the bumps
there are taste buds. They detect flavours.
There are four different types of taste
buds. Each type is on a different part of
our tongue and detects a particular kind
of taste.
4
Amazing!
On average, a person eats 30 tonnes of
food and drinks 50.000 litres of liquid
during their lifetime!
Our tongue has more than 10.000 taste
buds on its surface!

The respiratory system
How do we breathe?
We breathe automatically because our
body needs oxygen to stay alive. Our
lungs are like sponges full of tiny air
tubes. When we breathe in, our lungs
swell up as air fills the tubes. Oxygen
passes out of the tubes into our blood
to travel around our body. At the
same time, a waste gas called carbon
dioxide passes from our blood into our
lungs. Our lungs shrink again as we
breathe air out.
What does our nose do?
We breathe in air through our nose
and down our windpipe to our lungs.
Our nose warms the air we breathe in,
mucus and hairs inside it also trap dirt
to stop it reaching our lungs. A small
area at the top of our nose is full of
nerve cells that detect smells in the
air. These give us our sense of smell.
5
Amazing!
We take about 23.000 breathes every
day!
The nerve cells in our nose can detect
10.000 different smells!

The circulatory system
How does blood flow?
Blood flows around our body all
the time, carrying oxygen and
food to the cells and taking
away waste. Our blood is
pumped along by the heart, an
organ with strong walls of
muscle. First, the blood is sent
to our lungs to collect oxygen,
then it returns to our heart and
is pumped to the rest of our
body. The tubes that carry
blood away from the heart are
called arteries. Those that
carry blood back to the heart
are called veins.
What is blood made of?
More than half of our blood is made of a
liquid called plasma. Floating in it are red
cells, white cells and platelets. The red
cells carry oxygen around our body. White
cells fight germs, to protect our body from
infection. Platelets help our blood to clot
and form a scab if we cut ourselves and
bleed.

Why does our heart sometimes beat fast?
When we cycle or do any other exercise, our
muscles need extra oxygen to give us more
energy. Our heart beats harder and faster
to pump more blood to our muscles. We also
breathe faster to take in more oxygen, so
there is more oxygen in our blood.
7
Amazing!
Our heart beats about 100.000 times a
day, every day of our life, without
getting tired!
An adult’s heart pumps 15.000 litres of
blood a day!

The muscular system
What makes us move?
Every movement we make is made by muscles. We have
more than 600 different muscles. Many of them are
attached to our bones by strong tendons that allow us
to move. There are also muscles in our skin and eyes,
and others that keep our heart pumping and our
insides working.
How do muscles work?
When
we tense
a
muscle, it gets shorter and thicker. Most
muscles work in pairs. For example, we
tense the biceps muscle to bend our arm. To
straighten our arm, the triceps muscle
tenses and the biceps muscle relaxes.
Why do dancers need to warm up?
For muscles to work well, they need a
good supply of blood and oxygen.
Dancers and athletes do gentle
exercises to loosen their muscles
before they start exercising. This
increases the blood flow to their
muscles, giving them more energy. If
we exercise hard without warming
up, we risk injuring our muscles.
