Introduction
The Human Body is a wonderful,
complicated machine whose parts all work
together to keep the body healthy. You are
going to learn how the digestive, muscular,
nervous, respiratory, and circulatory
systems all work together in your body to
give it the fuel and energy you need.
Process
• Your group will choose one of the
following body systems and research it
using the Human Body Websites
embedded within this power point.
• Complete the four square provided by your
teacher as your power point organizer.
The Circulatory System
You will follow the path of a blood cell
throughout the body, beginning with the
heart and finally returning to the heart. List
all the places through which the blood
travels. Insert a picture of an image from
your journey.
The Muscular System
You will follow the path of the different
kinds of muscles throughout your body.
List all the different kinds of muscles and
tell why they are important to your body.
Insert a picture of an image from your
journey.
The Respiratory System
You will follow the path of a breath of air
from the time it is inhaled until it is
exhaled. List all the places through which
the air travels. Insert a picture of an image
from your journey.
The Nervous System
You will follow the path of your brain
sending, receiving, and processing
messages throughout the nervous system.
Include the three parts of the nervous
system. Insert a picture of an image from
your journey.
The Digestive System
You will follow the path of a bite of pizza
from the time you put it in your mouth until
it leaves your body. List all the places
through which the food travels. Insert a
picture of an image from your journey.

Conclusion
You have now learned about the transport
systems of the human body. You have listed and
included images of the places through which
food, air, and blood travel, muscle activity and
the process of sending and receiving brain
messages. Now that you know about these
systems you understand how important they are
to your survival. You can use this knowledge to
make good choices about physical activity, brain
response, the food you eat, the air you breathe
and the substances that can get into your blood.
Evaluation/Rubric
• You will be assessed on the accuracy of
your information presented.
• Be sure to include an image of your
journey.
