Cells
• The cell theory says
that:
1- All life is made of
cells.
2- Cells are the
smallest living unit in
living things
3- All cells come from
other cells
Cell come in many types
• Nerve
cells
Skin cells
Muscle cells
Tissue
• Cells + Cells = Tissue
• There are 4 types of
tissue in your body:
–
–
–
–
Connective
Nerve
Epithelial
Muscle
Organ
• Tissue + Tissue = Organ
• Organs are what we
usually think about when
we think about parts of
the body
Organ
• Connective tissue
makes up organs like
the bones, blood
vessels, tendons,
ligaments, etc…
• Fat tissue is a type of
connective tissue
• Fat tissue burns 2-3
calories per pound
per day, (compared to
muscle tissues 7-10).
Organ
• Nerve Tissue Makes
up organs like the
brain, spinal cord, and
nerves.
Organ
• Epithelial Tissue
makes up organs like
the skin, hair, and
fingernails
Organ
• Muscle tissue makes
up organs like the
heart, stomach,
kidneys, lungs,
biceps, etc…
Organ System
• Organ + Organ =
Organ System
• You have 11 organ
systems in your body.
11 organ systems of the body
Organ Systems
• 1- Integumentary System
• The integumentary system
is a temperature regulator,
sensory system, and
protects the organism. (first
line of defense.)
• Skin, hair, and fingernails
are some organs that make
up the integumentary
system.
Organ Systems
• Integumentary system facts:
– Skin is the largest organ in your body.
– Skin is 16% of your body weight
– You completely replace your skin cells about
once per month.
– About 90% of dust in your house is dead skin
cells.
– Hair is the fastest growing organ in the body
– Average #s of hairs:
• redheads= 80,000
• Brown/black = 100,000
• Blondes = 120,000
– Fingernails grow faster during the summer
and on your dominant hand.
– Your skin gets rid of 20% of your bodily
waste products.
– The most sweat glands on your body are in
your feet, and the least are on your back.
– Women have more sweat glands than men
Organ Systems
• How would your life
be different without
your integumentary
system?
• How long do you think
you could survive?
Organ Systems
• 2- Muscular system
• The muscular system
allows us to move
• Biceps, triceps,
hamstring, and
quadriceps, are all
organs in the
muscular system.
Organ Systems
• Muscular system facts:
– The busiest muscles in
your muscular system are
your eyes. They move
more than 100,000 times
per day!
– The largest muscle in your
body is the gluteus
maximus
– It takes 17 muscles to
smile and 42 to frown.
– Muscles can’t push, they
can only pull.
– Muscles can’t function
without calcium.
Organ Systems
• How would your life
be different without
your muscular
system?
• How long do you think
you could survive?
Organ Systems
• 3- Skeletal system
• The skeletal system
provides support and
protection for vital
organs.
• Bones, ligaments,
and tendons are
some organs that
make up a skeletal
system.
Organ Systems
• Skeletal system facts:
– Your body has about 206
bones although you were born
with over 300 bones.
– You have the same number of
bones in your neck as a
giraffe does!
– Bone marrow makes blood
cells, but bones are alive, and
would die without blood.
– The longest bone in your body
is your femur. (Thigh)
– Your bones are about 60%
calcium compounds.
– Over half of the bones in your
entire body are in your hands
and feet.
Organ Systems
• How would your life
be different without
your skeletal system?
• How long do you think
you could survive?
Organ Systems
• 4- Nervous system
• The nervous system
sends messages that
control body functions
• The brain, spinal
cord, and nerves are
some organs in the
nervous system.
Organ Systems
• Nervous system facts:
– Your nervous system functions
using electricity.
– Messages can travel through your
neurons at speeds of 250 mph!
– The avg. # of neurons in a human
brain is 100 billion. (The same as
the number of stars in the Milky
Way Galaxy)
– The longest neuron (nerve cell)
known to man is 15 feet long (in a
giraffe leg).
– If you lined up all the neurons in
your body, it would stretch 600
miles!
– Your brain is 2% of your bodies
weight, but uses 20% of your
bodies energy.
– Paralysis happens when the brain
can’t communicate with a certain
part of the body.
Organ Systems
• How would your life
be different without
your nervous system?
• How long do you think
you could survive?
Organ Systems
• 5- Endocrine System
• The endocrine system
produces chemicals
that control the body
(ex. Hormones)
• The adrenal glands,
pituitary gland (in brain)
and pancreas are all
organs in the endocrine
system.
Organ Systems
• Endocrine system facts:
– Steroids, insulin, and
adrenaline are 3 of the 30
hormones made by your
body.
– It only takes a tiny bit of a
hormone to cause a very
large reaction
– Physical growth, hyperactivity,
depression, stress, hunger
and many other emotions are
linked to hormone production.
Organ Systems
• How would your life
be different without
your endocrine
system?
• How long do you think
you could survive?
Organ Systems
• 6- Cardiovascular system
(circulatory)
• The cardiovascular system
carries food and oxygen to
the cells, and carries
carbon dioxide away from
the cells.
• Your heart, arteries, veins,
and capillaries, are organs
in the cardiovascular
system.
Organ Systems
• Cardiovascular system facts:
– The heart beats about
3,000,000,000 times during an
average lifetime, and pumps enough
blood in one day to fill the tank of a
fire engine.
– It takes 20 seconds for blood to
make a complete trip through your
circulatory system.
– You have more than 60,000 miles of
blood vessels and arteries in your
body. (you could wrap them around
the world twice.
– You have about 5 million red blood
cells, 10,000 white blood cells, and
250,000 platelets in 1 drop of blood.
– Arteries take blood away from the
heart, and veins return it to the
heart.
– Moving helps return blood to your
heart
– You do NOT have blue blood!

Organ Systems
• 7- Lymphatic system
(Immune system)
• The lymphatic system
returns leaked fluids to
blood vessels, and
helps fight off germs.
• Lymph nodes, lymph
vessels, thymus,
spleen, and tonsils are
all organs in the
lymphatic system.
Organ Systems
• Lymphatic system facts:
– Your lymph system releases
white blood cells to fight off
infection.
– Your lymph nodes swell up
when the fill up with white
blood cells (when you are
sick)
– Your spleen helps break down
and recycle RBCs.
– Your lymph system returns
about ½ cup of lymph fluid to
the heart per hour.
– Domestic birds don’t have
lymph nodes.
– Most of your lymph nodes are
in your armpits, neck, and
groin.
Organ Systems
• How would your life
be different without
your lymph system?
• How long do you think
you could survive?
Organ Systems
• 8- Respiratory system
• The respiratory system
exchanges oxygen for
carbon dioxide. (O2 in
and CO2 out).
• Lungs, Bronchi,
trachea, and
diaphragm are all
organs in the
respiratory system.
Organ Systems
• Respiratory system facts:
– You breathe in 21% oxygen and
.4% Carbon dioxide, you
breathe out 16% oxygen and
4% carbon dioxide.
– You have the same surface
area on you lungs as a tennis
court.
– You breathe out about ½ of a
liter of water per day.
– Your right lung is slightly larger
than your left.
– Every day you breath in about
88 pounds of air.
– Your respiratory system gets rid
of 70% of your bodily waste
products
– IPod activity
Organ Systems
• How would your life
be different without
your respiratory
system?
• How long do you think
you could survive?
Organ Systems
• 9- Digestive System
• The digestive system
breaks food down into
nutrients that can be
absorbed by the
body.
• The mouth, liver,
stomach, and
intestines are some of
the organs in the
digestive system.
Organ Systems
• Digestive system facts:
– The average stomach can
hold about 1.5 liters of food.
– Your intestines are lined with
tiny projections called villi.
They increase the surface
area of your intestines so you
can absorb as much as
possible.
– Your intestines are about 15
meters long!
– Food stays in your stomach
for 2-4 hours.
– Your digestive system gets rid
of 3% of your bodily waste
products
– Towel observation

be different without
your digestive
system?
• How long do you think
you could survive?
Organ Systems
• 10- Urinary System
• The urinary system
removes waste from
the blood and
regulates body fluids.
• Kidneys, ureters, and
the bladder are all
organs in the urinary
system.
Organ Systems
• Urinary system facts:
– Your bladder can hold
about 400 ml of urine.
– The blood in your body
passes through each
kidney 400 times per day.
– The kidneys use osmosis
to control the amount of
water in the blood.
– Caffeine and alcohol are
diuretics, which means that
they suppress the part of
your brain that tells your
body that you need to
retain water. (increases
urination - dehydration)
– Your urinary system gets
rid of 7% of your bodily
waste products.
Organ Systems
• How would your life
be different without
your urinary system?
• How long do you think
you could survive?
Organ Systems
• 11- Reproductive
system
• The reproductive
system enables the
organism to produce
offspring
• Ovaries and uterus in
a female and testes in
a male are organs in
the reproductive
system.
Organ Systems
• Reproductive system facts:
– The largest cell in the human
female body is the egg in the
ovaries.
– An adult male makes about
500 million sperm per day. A
female is born with about
600,000 immature eggs.
– A female body is capable of
giving birth to 35 children in
her lifetime.
– Twins form when one fertilized
egg splits into two parts
(identical), or when two sperm
fertilize 2 eggs at the same
time (non-identical).
