Science 4 Human Body System

The document discusses the human body systems and how the skeletal and muscular systems work together to enable movement. It explains that the skeletal system is made up of bones that provide structure, shape and protection to the body. Bones connect at joints, including hinge and ball-and-socket joints, which allow different degrees of movement. The muscular system works with the skeletal system to control movement as muscles connect bones to bones.

What Are Body Systems?

• Cell: All living things are made up of cells. A cell is the smallest unit of
life.
• Tissue: A collection of the same kind of cells forms a tissue.
• Organs: Tissues make organs such as your eyes, your stomach and
your heart.
• Body system: Several organs work together to form a body system.
• Organism: Together, body systems make up an organism, such as
yourself.
Human Body Systems
Human body system
• Digestive system
• Nervous system
• Circulatory system
• Respiratory system
• Skeletal system
• Muscular system
Human body system
• Digestive system: Breaks down food so that it can be used by the
body.
• Nervous system: Controls all body functions.
• Circulatory system: Transport blood around the body.
• Respiratory system: Allows exchange of gases in the lungs
• Skeletal system: Protects some organs, support the body and gives it
shape.
• Muscular system: Works with the bones to help the body to move.
Each system performs a special function to keep us healthy. If one of them
fails, our body will not function well.
How Do We Move?
• You can move about because you have two body systems that work
together – the skeletal system and the muscular system
The skeletal system
• The skeletal system is made up of your skeleton.
• Your skeleton is made up of bones.
• Bones give support and shape to your body.
• Bones allow you to move.
• Some bones also keep your organs safe.
The Skeletal System
• Skull: Your skull has 22 bones
that form a strong protective
“helmet” for your brain.
• Ribcage: Your ribcage has 12
pairs of curved bones called ribs
that protect your heart , lungs
and liver.
The Skeletal System
• Backbone: your backbone is
made up of 33 bones.
• One end of your backbone is
connected to your head and the
other end to the hip.
• Your backbone holds your body
upright. It helps you to twist and
bend. It also protects the spinal
cord.
The skeletal system
• Joints: Places in our skeletal system where bones meet. There are
three types of joints :
• Immovable joints
• Slightly movable joints
• Freely movable joints
Joints

• Immovable joints: can be found


in the skull. These joints can not
move.
Joints
• Slightly movable joints: can be
found in the backbone. These
joints can move slightly (a little).
Joints
• Freely movable joints: can be
found in our arms and legs.
These joints can be freely
moved.
Joints
• Hinge joints and ball-and-socket joints helps us to move more freely.
• Hinge joints : part of elbows , knees and knuckles. They turn in one
direction – like a door on hinges.
• Ball-and-socket joints: part of our hips and shoulders. They can turn in
any direction, up and down, or side to side.

Bones
• Your bones become bigger as you grow up. Some of them will join
together. You had about 300 bones as a baby, but your parents only
have 206 bones. Your bones keep growing until you are 20 years of
age.
Amazing fact
• Broken bones can repair themselves as long as they are put back
together. New bones grows over the broken part.
• The doctor puts a cast over a broken bone to allow it to repair itself
undisturbed.
• A cast can help to set the bones back to their original position.
