Copyright © The Goodheart-Willcox Co., Inc. All rights reserved. Chapter 3 CASE STUDY Khalil Larkins, an 18-year-old senior at Wolfridge High School, was running the 100-meter dash for his qualifying time. As he left his starting block, he heard a “pop” and instantly felt a sharp pain in the upper back part of his left leg. He struggled as he limped off the track. His teammates helped him to the treatment area, where his trainer could assess him. After a quick evaluation, the trainer placed ice on Khalil’s left hamstring, the muscle in the posterior upper leg. Khalil was instructed to stay off his left leg and was given a pair of crutches to use until he could be examined by a physician. The next morning, Khalil’s pain had not subsided, and now there was swelling, bruising, and tenderness at the injury site. Khalil continued Chapter Objectives to use his crutches to move around, and when it was convenient, he iced the back part of his Upon completion of this chapter, you should be able to upper left leg.

    1 Maine Regional School Unit #67 Chester, Lincoln, Mattawamkeag The Human Body Systems for Kids KidsKonnect.com and kidshealth.org provide links to more detailed information about each of the systems listed below. The first group of systems are commonly taught in the elementary grades. Teachers wishing more detailed information should consult sources beyond this handout. There are many systems in the human body. • Skeletal System (bones) • Respiratory System (nose, trachea, lungs) • Circulatory System (heart, blood, vessels) • Digestive System (mouth, esophogus, stomach, intestines) • Muscular System (muscles) • Nervous System (brain, spinal cord, nerves) • Excretory System (lungs, large intestine, kidneys) • Urinary System (bladder, kidneys) • Endocrine System (glands) • Reproductive System (male and female reproductive organs) • Immune System (many types of protein, cells, organs, tissues) 2 The Skeletal System has three major jobs: • It protects our vital organs such as the brain, the heart, and the lungs. • It gives us the shape that we have. • It allows us to move. Because muscles are attached to bones, when muscles move, they move the bones and the body moves. http://kidshealth.org/kid/htbw/bones.html The Respiratory System is the system of the body that deals with breathing. When we breathe, the body takes in the oxygen that it needs and removes the carbon dioxide that it doesn't need. The organ most closely connected with this system is the lung. The human body has two lungs. http://kidshealth.org/kid/htbw/lungs.html 3 The Circulatory System is the system by which oxygen and nutrients reach the body's cells, and waste materials are carried away.

  • The Muscular System
    THE MUSCULAR SYSTEM COMPILED BY HOWIE BAUM 1 Muscles make up the bulk of the body and account for 1/3 of its weight.!! Blood vessels and nerves run to every muscle, helping control and regulate each muscle’s function. The muscular system creates body heat and also moves the: Bones of the Skeletal system Food through Digestive system Blood through the Circulatory system Fluids through the Excretory system MUSCLE TISSUE The body has 3 main types of muscle tissue 1) Skeletal, 2) Smooth, and 3) Cardiac SKELETAL MUSCLE SMOOTH MUSCLE CARDIAC MUSCLE Skeletal muscles attach to and move bones by contracting and relaxing in response to voluntary messages from the nervous system. Skeletal muscle tissue is composed of long cells called muscle fibers that have a striated appearance. Muscle fibers are organized into bundles supplied by blood vessels and innervated by motor neurons. Muscle structure Skeletal (striated or voluntary) muscle consists of densely packed groups of hugely elongated cells known as myofibers. These are grouped into bundles (fascicles). A typical myofiber is 2–3 centimeters ( 3/4–1 1/5 in) long and 0.05millimeters (1/500 inch) in diameter and is composed of narrower structures – myofibrils. These contain thick and thin myofilaments made up mainly of the proteins actin and myosin. Numerous capillaries keep the muscle supplied with the oxygen and glucose needed to fuel contraction. Skeletal Muscles • Skeletal muscles attach to bones by tendons (connective tissue) and enable movement. • Skeletal muscles are mostly voluntary Feel the back of your ankle to feel your Achilles tendon - the largest tendon in your body.

  • THE 6 MAJOR BODY SYSTEMS and How They Interact with Each Other to Keep the “Body Machine” Alive and Working Well
    THE 6 MAJOR BODY SYSTEMS And how they interact with each other to keep the “body machine” alive and working well. CIRCULATORY SYSTEM / CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM PRIMARY PURPOSE: transport blood throughout the body by circulating PRIMARY ORGANS/PARTS: Heart, blood vessels (arteries, veins, capillaries) (1) Transports/carries nutrients and oxygen through the blood to most parts of the body (2) Transports/carries waste in cells and carbon-dioxide (CO2) away from the parts: (a) Cell waste goes to the kidneys for filter and disposal (b) Carbon-dioxide (CO2) goes to the lungs to exhale (breathe out) Kidneys and Lungs have a close relationship with Cardiovascular system Kidneys: filter through blood to take out the waste and get it eventually out of the body Lungs: breathes in oxygen and gives it to the blood for Circulatory system to carry throughout the body; and takes unneeded carbon-dioxide (CO2) from the blood and breathes that out. Circulatory/Cardiovascular System through the blood to most parts of the body provides nutrients and oxygen ​ which is needed for our bodies to have ENERGY! RESPIRATORY SYSTEM PRIMARY PURPOSE: Breathing - taking in Oxygen, pushing out Carbon-Dioxide (CO2) PRIMARY ORGANS: Lungs, trachea (tube going from lungs to nose/mouth) (1) Inhales (breathes in) Oxygen - good for the body - gives it to the Circulatory System to be transported throughout the body through the blood. (2) Exhales (breathes out) Carbon-Dioxide (CO2) - lungs get this gas from the blood (Circ. Sys.) and pushes it out of the body DIGESTIVE SYSTEM PRIMARY PURPOSE: take in food; break down food into nutrients (good) and waste (unneeded) PRIMARY ORGANS: Stomach, large and small intestines, esophagus (tube from stomach to mouth) (1) Digestive System gets nutrients (good) from food and hands it over to the blood and Circulatory System then carries those nutrients where they need to go.

  • Body Systems Work Together by Cindy Grigg
    Body Systems Work Together By Cindy Grigg 1 You know that your body is made of cells. When groups of cells do the same kind of work, they are called tissues. The word tissue comes from a Latin word meaning to "weave." Cells that make up tissues are sometimes "woven" together. 2 You have four main types of tissues: epithelial, nervous, muscle, and connective tissue. Epithelial tissue covers the outside of the body. It also lines organs and cavities. Nervous tissue sends electrical signals. Muscle tissue helps you move. Connective tissue joins bones and cushions organs. 3 When groups of tissues work together, they are called organs. Some examples of organs are the heart, lungs, skin, and stomach. When organs work together, they are called systems. For example, your heart, lungs, blood, and blood vessels work together. They make up the circulatory system. 4 There are eleven systems in the human body: muscular system, respiratory system, digestive system, integumentary system (skin), skeletal system, circulatory (or cardiovascular) system, excretory (or urinary) system, reproductive system, nervous system, lymphatic system, and endocrine system. Each system has a special job. 5 All of your body systems have to work together to keep you healthy. Your bones and muscles work together to support and move your body. Your respiratory system takes in oxygen from the air. It also gets rid of carbon dioxide. 6 Your digestive system absorbs water and nutrients from the food you eat. 7 Your circulatory system carries oxygen, water, and nutrients to cells throughout your body. Wastes from the cells are eliminated by your respiratory system, your excretory system, and your skin.

  • Our Body: the Universe Within at the Puyallup Fair
    PART 4 Our Body: The Universe Within at the Puyallup Fair SYSTEMS OF THE BODY Your body is made of systems that all work to keep you going strong. Learn about the digestive, circulatory and musculoskeletal systems today and explore other systems of your body during your visit to the fee-based exhibit Our Body: The Universe Within at the Puyallup Fair. DIGESTIVE SYSTEM The digestive system processes food and breaks it down into usable proteins, fats, minerals, carbohydrates and other substances. The digestion process begins in your mouth when salivary glands produce saliva, secretions that mix with food and break it down. The food then goes down your esophagus in peristaltic waves, or waves of muscular contractions, to the stomach. The stomach contains chemicals like hydrochloric acid and enzymes. The stomach gradually releases materials into the small intestine, where digestion is further completed. All the nutrients are absorbed into the bloodstream, leaving the rest as unusable residue which passes through the large intestine to the rectum. The digestive system is composed of the stomach, small and large intestines, liver and pancreas. Fun Facts: 1. About 2/3 of the body is water. 2. Scientists estimate that almost 400,000 cases of cancer in the U.S. could be prevented solely through changes in the diet. 3. The liver is the largest gland and the second-largest organ in the human body. 4. Digestion begins when you chew your food. CIRCULATORY SYSTEM The circulatory system has three distinct parts: pulmonary circulation (lungs), coronary circulation (heart), and systemic circulation (veins and arteries).

    MUSCULAR SYSTEM Introduction – Functions and basic types of muscle cells Skeletal muscle cells and connective tissues The nervous system Mechanism of muscle contraction Motor unit Action potential – basis of EMG Length tension characteristics Force regulation in skeletal muscles Energy consideration of muscle contraction Cellular respiration Fatigue in static and dynamic muscular work Functions The muscular system is composed of specialized cells called muscle fibers. Their main characteristic is their ability to contract. Muscles, where attached to bones or internal organs and blood vessels, are responsible for movement. Nearly all movements in the body are the result of muscle contraction. The integrated action of joints, bones, and skeletal muscles produces obvious movements such as walking and running. Skeletal muscles also produce more subtle movements that result in various facial expressions, eye movements, and respiration. In addition to movement, muscle contraction also fulfills some other important functions in the body, such as posture, joint stability, and heat production. Posture, such as sitting and standing, is maintained as a result of force produced by muscle contraction. The skeletal muscles are continually making fine adjustments that hold the body in stationary positions. The tendons of many muscles extend over joints and in this way contribute to joint stability. This is particularly evident in the knee and shoulder joints, where muscle tendons are a major factor in stabilizing the joint. Heat production, to maintain body temperature, is an important by-product of muscle metabolism. Nearly 85 percent of the heat produced in the body is the result of muscle contraction. A. K. Sengupta 9/9/2010 1/12 Muscles Types There are three types of muscles: skeletal, smooth, and cardiac.
