BODY SYSTEMS STUDY SHEET
Objectives:
The body you have is made up of billions of cells. A cell makes up all living things. It takes different kinds of cells to make up different parts of your body. Take for instance nerve cells. Nerve cells are different that muscle cells. The differences in the cells let each type of cell do a different job in the body. A group of cells that are alike and work together are called tissue. For example, muscle cells make up muscle tissue, and nerve cells make up nerve tissue. Each type of tissue is different. An organ is a group of tissues that work together. An example of an organ is the heart. The heart is an organ made up of muscle tissue. Each organ has its own job to do. The job of the heart is to pump many materials in the blood through the body. The heart cannot work alone, it depends on other organs to send blood through the body. A body system is a group of organs that work together to finish a task.
Body Systems must work together.
The body has a different job for each body system. But, each system works with other systems to make sure that the body maintains homeostasis. Homeostasis is the condition in which the body’s internal conditions are at a sable state. For example, a person uses oxygen more quickly during exercise. When the body’s level of oxygen increases, the respiratory and circulatory systems work together to supply more oxygen. These systems speed up so that the amount of oxygen in the body is kept at a healthy level. Body systems are always working together. In order to do anything it takes several body systems working together.
Body Systems Depend on Each Other.
Each body system is important. If anyone system isn’t working correctly it affects the other body systems. For instance, if you have a problem with the nervous system, your heart and breathing rates could get too slow or fast. Because each body system is so dependent on the others, caring for each system helps to protect the other systems too. When health in one system improves , the health of the other systems also improve.
Objectives:
- Describe what makes up a body system.
- Explain how body systems work together.
- Predict how body systems affect each other.
