1 OUR SKELETAL SYSTEM
Our skeleton consists of all our bones, teeth,
cartilage, and joints. Some bones protect our
internal organs. Some bones provide a
framework for the body (just as the spokes of an
umbrella provide a framework). Some bones
contain red marrow that produces blood cells and
yellow marrow that also stores fat.

2 OUR MUSCULAR SYSTEM
There are three kinds of muscles:

make us move?

SMALL INTESTINE
3 OUR DIGESTIVE
SYSTEM
Every cell in our body does work. Work requires
energy, which is supplied by the food we eat. Food
also supplies the small moNleecwulTeesxthat are the building
blocks for cell maintainance, growth, and function.
Digestion breaks down food
into materials the body can use:
Oesaphagus
Trachea
Capillary
Lymph vessel
0.5 mm
Mouth
starts mechanical and chemical digestion of
food with the help of teeth, tongue, and saliva
Salivary glands
produces saliva, which helps lubricate
food for easier swallowing; contains
antibacterial agents and the enzyme
amylase, which breaks down starch
Pharynx
entering food triggers its swallowing reflex
Oesophagus
a muscular tube that squeezes
food along to the stomach
Stomach
stores, mixes, and digests food with the
gastric juice it produces, which consists
of mucus, enzymes, and hydrochloric
acid, producing acid chyme
Liver
blood carrying nutrients from the
small intestine passes through the
liver, which filters it and breaks down
and synthesizes proteins, breaks
down carbohydrates into glucose Waist
and glycogen, produces bile
Gallbladder
collects bile from the liver, and
discharges it into the small
intestines, where it helps
digest fat
Pancreas
a gland that produces digestive
enzymes and an alkaline solution
that neutralizes the acid chyme
that comes from the stomach; it
also secretes the hormone, insulin
Small intestine
a 6 metre long tube in which most
of chemical digestion occurs;
nutrients are absorbed from here
into the bloodstream
Large intestine
absorbs water from the food wastes that have
not been digested in the small intestine; also
absorbs some important vitamins that are
produced by the large numbers of bacteria it
harbours
Rectum
stores feces (which consist mainly of
indigestible plant fibres, bacteria, and water)
until they can be eliminated from the body
through the anus

4 OUR RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
Through respiration we exchange gases with our
environment. Our cells require a continuous

supply of oxygen (O2 ) in order to obtain energy Trachea
from food molecules. Cells would also die if they
were not able to get rid of the carbon dioxide
(CO2) they produce.
The 3 Processes of Gas Exchange:
1. In our lungs, O2 passes from the air into our
blood, and CO2 passes from our blood into the
air. Some water vapour is also released into the
air.
2. Our circulatory system transports O2 and CO2
to and from all the parts of our body. Haemoglobin
molecules in our red blood cells transport O2.
3. Cells take up O2 and release CO2

Why do we drink water?

less watery: the grey matter of the brain is about
85% water; fat cells contain only about 15% water.
