INTEREST GRABBER – NOTEBOOK #1 AN IMPORTANT PROCESS While walking along a dusty path, you begin to cough. As you continue your walk, a small insect comes flying toward you. You blink and then duck so that it misses you. These actions are just a few examples of homeostasis. Homeostasis is the process by which organisms keep internal conditions relatively constant despite changes in their external environments. 1. List three other examples of homeostasis that occur in organisms. 2. Why is homeostasis important to an organism? INTEREST GRABBER 1. List three other examples of homeostasis that occur in organisms. Accept all reasonable student examples that show an understanding of homeostasis. 2. Why is homeostasis important to an organism? Homeostasis allows an organism to remain in balance with its environment. If homeostasis is not maintained, it can harm the organism or result in the death of the organism. LEVELS OF ORGANIZATION IN A MULTICELLULAR ORGANISM Cell

Organ system
Complete organism NERVOUS SYSTEM - controls and coordinates functions throughout the body and responds to internal and external stimuli
Nervous System Integumentary System Skeletal System Muscular System Circulatory System NERVOUS SYSTEM
Structures: Brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves
Function: Recognizes and coordinates the body’s response to changes in the internal and external environments NERVOUS SYSTEM - THE SYNAPSE
Direction of Impulse
Dendrite of -chemical messages adjacent neuron Axon Receptor (neurotransmitters) Vesicle are sent to the
Axon synapse terminal Synaptic cleft
Neurotransmitter THE BRAIN- left side of the body is controlled by the right side of the brain and the right side of the body is controlled by the left side of the brain Cerebrum
Thalamus Pineal gland
Hypothalamus
Pituitary gland Cerebellum
Pons
Medulla oblongata Spinal cord INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM – serves as a barrier against infection and injury (skin.)
Nervous System Integumentary System Skeletal System Muscular System Circulatory System INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM Helps regulate body temperature, removes waste products from the body, and provides protection from the radiation from the sun. INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM SKELETAL SYSTEM – supports the body, protects internal organs, provides for movement, stores mineral reserves. 206 Bones in the human body.

MUSCULAR SYSTEM – three types of muscle tissue allow for movement in the body
Nervous System Integumentary System Skeletal System Muscular System Circulatory System MUSCULAR SYSTEM Cardiac – found only in the heart Skeletal – usually attached to bone, responsible for voluntary movement Smooth – usually involuntary, found in internal organs (ex. Digestive tract) MUSCULAR SYSTEM – MUSCLE TISSUE CIRCULATORY SYSTEM – consists of the heart and a series of blood vessels
Nervous System Integumentary System Skeletal System Muscular System Circulatory System CIRCULATORY SYSTEM • Arteries carry blood AWAY from the heart (oxygenated.) • Veins carry blood TO the heart (deoxygenated.) CIRCULATORY SYSTEM
• Arteries have a pulse and are under great pressure. • Veins have valves to stop the back-flow of blood. CIRCULATORY SYSTEM INTERESTING FACT
Red blood cells have no nucleus, so they have no DNA. How can DNA tests be performed on a blood sample?
When a DNA laboratory receives a sample of blood in a test tube, the sample is put in a centrifuge to spin to separate the red cells from the rest of the blood. The DNA is extracted from the fraction containing the white blood cells.
RESPIRATORY SYSTEM – brings the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the blood, air, and tissues
Respiratory System Digestive System Excretory System
Endocrine System Reproductive System Lymphatic/Immune Systems RESPIRATORY SYSTEM Larynx – contains vocal cords – found at the top of the trachea
Trachea – windpipe
Bronchi – lead to the lungs
Alveoli – tiny air sacs, allow gas exchange
Diaphragm – flat muscle that pulls air into the lungs RESPIRATORY SYSTEM NOTEBOOK #3 1. What are the three kinds of muscle tissue? 2. Where do you find cardiac muscle? 3. Where do you find skeletal muscle? 4. Where do you find smooth muscle? 5. What organelle is found in large numbers in muscle tissue? 6. What organs make up the circulatory system? 7. What is the difference between veins and arteries? 8. What is the job of the respiratory system? 9. What is the job of the alveoli? 10. What is the job of the diaphragm?
