(skull), used for thinking and controlling the body Heart: pumps
blood to all parts of the body Lungs: two organs in the chest used
for breathing Esophagus: muscle-lined tube, carries food from
throat to stomach Liver: filters blood, helps with digestion
Stomach: creates acid and enzymes to digest food

digested food Small intestine: coiled, thin part of digestive
system, nutrients removed from food and released in the bloodstream

blood Skin: outer layer of tissue, largest organ Pancreas: produces
fluid to help digest food

again.
Slide 19
Lesson 4: Muscular and Skeletal Systems Main Points from
Reading Selection: The skeleton supports every part of your body,
protects organs, and helps the body move. At birth, babies have
about 350 soft bones. As you grow, these bones grow together and by
your mid- twenties, you will have about 206 bones. Forty to fifty
percent of your body weight is made of muscle. Your bones and
muscles working together are called the musculoskeletal
system.
Slide 20
Lesson 4: Muscular and Skeletal Systems Three types of muscles
1. SKELETAL MUSCLE: These muscles are attached to your bones, allow
you to move and be active, are made stronger when exercise, and are
voluntary (can control when to move it).
Slide 21
Lesson 4: Muscular and Skeletal Systems 2. SMOOTH MUSCLE: These
muscles, which are found in organs (i.e. diaphragm, lungs, blood
vessels, stomach), are involuntary. Involuntary means you do not
have to think about them working. For instance, your lungs and
diaphragm move without you having to think, Breathe, breathe
Slide 22
Lesson 4: Muscular and Skeletal Systems 3. CARDIAC MUSCLE: This
muscle, located in the heart, works ALL of the time. It is
extremely strong and also involuntary.

Cardiovascular System Anticipation Guide. Read pages 56-60 from the
student guide and respond to the anticipatory guide again. Review
responses.
Slide 46
Lesson 8: Circulatory and Cardiovascular Main Points from
Reading Selection: Cardiovascular system composed of heart,
arteries, veins, capillaries, blood. The cardiovascular system
carries nutrients, energy (form of sugar), and oxygen throughout
the cells of the body. Heart = bodys pump Tubing for blood movement
= blood vessels
Slide 47
Lesson 8: Circulatory and Cardiovascular Three types of blood
vessels: 1. Arteries: thick, muscular, carry blood away from the
heart (arteries and away both start with a). 2. Veins: thinner than
arteries, carry blood back to heart 3. Capillaries: smallest
vessels, connect larger arteries to veins, one cell wide (allow
oxygen, carbon dioxide, sugar, nutrients, molecules to move to and
from blood and throughout other systems).
Slide 48
Lesson 8: Circulatory and Cardiovascular HEART -organ made of
muscle tissue -pumps blood throughout body -basically hollow,
consists of four compartments surrounded by thick muscle -Atrium:
top compartments that hold blood coming into the heart -Ventricles:
bottom compartments, the think and muscular walls push together
pumping blook out of the heart to the body
Slide 49
Lesson 8: Circulatory and Cardiovascular BLOOD FLOW IN THE
HEART: 1.Blood flows into heart (from all over body) 2.Enters right
atrium. 3.Into right ventricle. 4.Pumped to lungs. 5.Blood gets
oxygen from air sacs in lungs, gets rid of carbon dioxide, blood
flows from lungs. 6.Goes to left atrium of heart. 7.Flows into left
ventricle. 8.Blood pumped out of body through aorta.
Slide 50
Lesson 8: Circulatory and Cardiovascular Your heart becomes
stronger with exercise. Review Find Your Pulse. Practice finding
your pulse (1 minute). Read Measuring Your Heart Rate instructions.

Body Systems kit from BCBS (Kendall Hunt). How does the respiratory
system function?
Slide 56
Lesson 9: Respiratory Complete the Respiratory System
Anticipation Guide. Read Your Respiratory System and respond to the
questions again.
Slide 57
Lesson 9: Respiratory Lungs used for breathing Inhale:
breathing in Exhale: breathing out
Slide 58
Lesson 9: Respiratory INHALING: How oxygen from the air travels
to cells inside your body: 1.Air enters nasal passages as you
breathe in. 2.Air travels through throat to trachea. 3.Trachea
divides into two tubes, the bronchial tubes. 4.Bronchial tubes lead
to lungs. 5.In lungs, bronchial tubes divide into small branches
called bronchioles. 6.Air sacs (alveoli) found at ends of tine
branches. In air sacs, oxygen in air passes to blood inside
capillaries. Blood carries oxygen to heart, which pumps blood with
oxygen throughout body. 7.Diaphragm (thick sheet of muscle located
at bottom of chest cavity) moves up and down during inhaling. Moves
up when a person exhales.
Slide 59
Slide 60
Lesson 9: Respiratory EXHALING: -Waste product is carbon
dioxide, which is made by cells when sugars are turned into energy
to keep cells alive. -Too much carbon dioxide = poison. -Blood
cells absorb oxygen from air in alveoli (air sacs) and give up
carbon dioxide. -Exhaled air has less oxygen and more carbon
dioxide. -There is still some oxygen in exhaled air, which explains
why CPR is possible to help someone else breathe.
Slide 61
Lesson 9: Respiratory Make a model of the respiratory system.
Is the model an accurate representation of the human respiratory
system? Why or why not?

Your Digestive System and respond to the questions again. Complete
Check Your Understanding.
Slide 74
Lesson 11: Digestive and Excretory Main Points from Reading
Selection: -Digestion: changing food you eat into a form that the
body can use STEPS TO THE DIGESTIVE PROCESS 1.Saliva (from the
salivary glands) helps chemically break down food you ate. 2.After
chewing, this food goes down the esophagus into the stomach. Acid
in the stomach mixes with food and breaks it down (liquid mush).
3.Mush moves to small intestine and mixes with more chemicals.
Nutrients absorbed into bloodstream from small intestine. 4.The
large intestine is where digestion occurs. It compacts solids left
after nutrient absorption in the bloodstream. Body then absorbs
water from these solids and gets rid of compacted solids as a
waste. Fiber helps waste move quickly.
Slide 75
Lesson 11: Digestive and Excretory The excretory system removes
waste products from your body. Organs of the Excretory System Lungs
- removal of excess carbon dioxide Liver - produces urea and uric
acid as a by-product of the breakdown of proteins Skin - removal of
excess water, salt, urea and uric acid Urinary System - kidneys
filter the blood to form urine, which is excess water, salt, urea
and uric acid

Lesson 12: Teach Engineering, Digestion Simulation
www.teachengineering.org How are medicines such as aspirin digested
and processed in the human body? Why are some aspirins coated?
DEMONSTRATION ONLYUse a document camera or video so that the entire
class can see this simulation.
Slide 79
Lesson 12: Teach Engineering, Digestion Simulation For the
simulation, we will use a cup filled with vinegar to represent the
stomach and a cup filled with water and baking soda to represent
the small intestine. We use vinegar to represent the stomach
because it is an acid similar to the gastric acid that is squirted
on food by our bodies while it is in the stomach. We use baking
soda and water to represent the small intestine because together
they form a base similar to bile, one of the main digestive juices
squirted on food while it is in the small intestine.
Slide 80
Lesson 12: Teach Engineering, Digestion Simulation Fill a clear
plastic cup with vinegar. Fill a second clear plastic cup with a
mixture of 1.5 teaspoons baking soda, a pinch of salt, and half a
cup of water. Place both aspirins (coated and uncoated) into the
simulated stomach. What happened?
Slide 81
Lesson 12: Teach Engineering, Digestion Simulation Move the
coated aspirin out of the vinegar and into the baking soda and
water mixture (simulated small intestine). What happened to the
coated tablet? How is this demonstration similar to the human
digestive system? Where in the body would you expect the coated and
uncoated aspirin tablets to dissolve?
