Body Systems
How is your body like a
machine?
Let’s think back….
• Why do all
the body
systems
work
together?
To maintain
homeostasis!
SKELETAL SYSTEM
•What are the functions?
-produces red and white blood cells
-movement
-structural support
-provide minerals
•What other systems are involved?
-muscular
-immune
MUSCULAR SYSTEM
•What are the functions?
-movement (body parts,
digestion, circulation)
• What other systems
does it involve?
-Skeletal
-Nervous
-Digestive
-Circulatory
Muscle Types
SKELETAL
SMOOTH
CARDIAC
How do you bend your elbow?
To what are muscles
attached?
• The bicep muscle
contracts, causing the
elbow to bend.
• The tricep muscle
contracts, causing the
elbow to straighten.
This works similar to what
simple machine?
LYMPHATIC SYSTEM
• What are the
functions?
•protect body
from disease
•contains white
blood cells,
antibodies and
lymph
