Description
The human body
The human body is the most wonderful, complex
machine in the world. Your body can walk
and run, climb and sit. It can see, hear, smell,
taste, and feel. It can eat, talk, laugh, lift
things, play games, think, and read.
While these things are going on, you are
breathing; there is blood flowing through
your blood vessels; you are digesting food;
and your body is doing a million other jobs at
the same time! All through your life this
marvellous machine is at work-even when
you are sleeping.
These are a few systems of the human body:
1st The nervous system: Your brain, your spinal
cord, and the millions of nerve cells in your
body make up your nervous system.
nd
2 The circulatory system: Your circulatory
system consists of your heart, arteries, veins,
and very thin blood vessels called capillaries.
3th rd The respiratory system: Oxygen enters
your body through your nose or mouth,
moves down your windpipe and into your
lungs. Your lungs are the most important part
of your respiratory system.
4th The muscular and skeletal systems which
allow us to move.
th
5 The digestive system: Your mouth,
oesophagus, stomach, large and small
intestines and other organs make up your
digestive system

The Muscular and
Skeletal Systems
The muscles are the active part of the
apparatus of locomotion. Their task is
to move the body. The muscles
comprise 40% of the body's weight.
The body has 300 individual muscles in
different shapes and sizes.
The skeletal system consists of 206
bones as well as joints, cartilage and
ligaments; the skeletal system
provides the strong, internal
framework that supports our body.

Circulatory System
• The circulatory system consists
of the heart and blood vessels.
The heart acts as a pump to
keep blood moving throughout
the body. Arteries are blood
vessels which carry blood away
from the heart. This blood
contains a lot of oxygen and
nutrients for the body. Veins
are blood vessels which carry
blood to the heart from various
parts of the body. This blood is
low in oxygen and nutrients.

The heart
The Heart: A Pump That
Never Stops
The heart is a powerful pump
that beats continuously during
life to circulate the blood
throughout the body. The heart
has four separate chambers
