12. The Human Body Systems
Work Together
https://www.facebook.com/karriersolution https://www.linkedin.com/in/anubhav2
13. The Human Body Systems Of
Our Interest
• The Nervous System
• The Respiratory System
• The Digestive System
• The Circulatory System
• The Excretory System
https://www.facebook.com/karriersolution https://www.linkedin.com/in/anubhav2
14. The Nervous System
The main parts of the Nervous System are the
Brain, the Nerves, and the Spinal Cord.
https://www.facebook.com/karriersolution https://www.linkedin.com/in/anubhav2
15. The Brain
• Inside our head is the brain. It controls how our
bodies work and is protected by the a thick bone
called the skull.
• The brain makes sure our hearts keep beating and our
lungs keep working without us having to think about
it.
• Part of the brain makes our muscles work.
• The different parts of the brain makes us think, see,
hear, feel and taste.
https://www.facebook.com/karriersolution https://www.linkedin.com/in/anubhav2
16. The Spinal Cord
• We all have a backbone, called spine.
• Inside it, there is a spinal cord.
• The spinal cord joins the brain at the top of our neck.
• Its main function is to serve as a pathway for the messages from
the nerves to travel to the brain and back so we know what we
are seeing, touching, hearing, and tasting, and if something
hurts or feels.
• The human spinal cord is protected by the bony spinal column.
• The spinal column is made up of bones called vertebrae.
https://www.facebook.com/karriersolution https://www.linkedin.com/in/anubhav2
17. Nerves
• All through our body there are
nerves which connect to the
spinal cord.
• Messages from the nerves
travel to the spinal cord, which
sends them to the brain.
• The brain works out what the
messages are so we know
what we are seeing, touching,
hearing, and tasting, and if
something hurts or feels.

18. The Respiratory System
The Respiratory System is what controls breathing.
https://www.facebook.com/karriersolution https://www.linkedin.com/in/anubhav2
19. Function of the Respiratory System
• The primary function of the respiratory system is to
supply the blood with oxygen in order for the blood to
deliver oxygen to all parts of the body.
• It brings in the oxygen your body needs and gets rid of
the carbon dioxide that is left over
• The main parts of the Respiratory System are the Nose,
Mouth, Lungs, Trachea, Diaphragm.
https://www.facebook.com/karriersolution https://www.linkedin.com/in/anubhav2
21. How the Human Respiratory
System Works
• The Respiratory System helps us breathe.
• When the human body breathes air, it gets sucked
through the nostrils or the mouth.
• Then it goes through the trachea (wind pipe).
• The trachea divides into tubes called bronchi which
carry the air on to each lung.
• The diaphragm pulls the oxygen down to the
bronchi and into the lungs.
https://www.facebook.com/karriersolution https://www.linkedin.com/in/anubhav2
22. Moving air in and out
• During inspiration (inhalation), the diaphragm and
intercostal muscles contract.
• During exhalation, these muscles relax. The diaphragm
domes upwards.
https://www.facebook.com/karriersolution https://www.linkedin.com/in/anubhav2
23. The Digestive System
The Digestive system ingests, digests & absorbs
nutrients for use by all body cells.
https://www.facebook.com/karriersolution https://www.linkedin.com/in/anubhav2
25. First Organs of the Digestive
Tract
• The mouth and teeth are the first organs of
the digestive tract.
• The teeth are bones whose main purpose
is to grind food into bits that the body can
digest.
• Saliva helps begin to break down food.
https://www.facebook.com/karriersolution https://www.linkedin.com/in/anubhav2
26. The Esophagus
• The esophagus runs from the pharynx to the stomach.
• The esophagus is about 25 cm ( 10 inches) long.
• The esophagus is really a large muscle which pushes food down to
the stomach.
The Stomach
• The stomach is a J- shaped muscle.
• The stomach acts as a churn.
• Chemical breakdown of food begins in the stomach.
https://www.facebook.com/karriersolution https://www.linkedin.com/in/anubhav2
27. The Small Intestine
• The small intestine is the main organ of the of the
gastrointestinal tract.
• The small intestine absorbs processed food into the
bloodstream to deliver to the cells. The unabsorbed food
then passes to the large intestine.
https://www.facebook.com/karriersolution https://www.linkedin.com/in/anubhav2
28. The Large Intestine
• The large intestine is about 5 feet long.
• The main job of the large intestine is absorb water and to
get rid of unwanted materials.
https://www.facebook.com/karriersolution https://www.linkedin.com/in/anubhav2
29. The Cardiovascular System
Responsible for transporting oxygen & nutrients
throughout the body, the CVS system is powered
by the body’s hardest-working organ — the heart.
https://www.facebook.com/karriersolution https://www.linkedin.com/in/anubhav2
30. The Components
• A closed system of the Heart and blood vessels
• The heart pumps blood
• Blood vessels allow blood to circulate to all parts of the body
• The function of the cardiovascular system is to deliver oxygen
and nutrients and to remove carbon dioxide and other waste
products
https://www.facebook.com/karriersolution https://www.linkedin.com/in/anubhav2
31. The Heart : Anatomy
• Approximately the size of your fist
• Location
• Superior surface of diaphragm
• Left of the midline
• Anterior to the vertebral column, posterior to the sternum
https://www.facebook.com/karriersolution https://www.linkedin.com/in/anubhav2
32. The Heart: Coverings
• Pericardium – a double serous membrane
• Visceral pericardium
• Next to heart
• Parietal pericardium
• Outside layer
• Serous fluid fills the space between the layers of
pericardium
https://www.facebook.com/karriersolution https://www.linkedin.com/in/anubhav2
33. The Heart: Chambers
• Right and left side act as separate pumps.
• Four chambers
• Atria
• Receiving chambers
• Right atrium
• Left atrium
• Ventricles
• Discharging chambers
• Right ventricle
• Left ventricle
https://www.facebook.com/karriersolution https://www.linkedin.com/in/anubhav2
34. • Circulation – In the loop, the blood circulates to and from the
lungs, to release the carbon dioxide and pick up new oxygen. It
is pumping of blood through the entire body by the heart.
• TYPES-
• Coronary circulation – the circulation of blood within the
heart.
• Pulmonary circulation – the flow of blood between the
heart and lungs.
• Systemic circulation – the flow of blood between the heart
and the cells of the body.
Circulation
https://www.facebook.com/karriersolution https://www.linkedin.com/in/anubhav2
35. The Heart: Valves
• Allows blood to flow in only one direction.
• Four valves-
• Atrioventricular valves – between atria and ventricles
• Bicuspid valve (left)
• Tricuspid valve (right)
• Semilunar valves - between ventricle and artery
• Pulmonary semilunar valve
• Aortic semilunar valve
https://www.facebook.com/karriersolution https://www.linkedin.com/in/anubhav2
36. Pathway of Blood Through the
Heart and Lungs
• Right atrium tricuspid valve right ventricle
• Right ventricle pulmonary semilunar valve pulmonary
arteries lungs
• Lungs pulmonary veins left atrium
• Left atrium bicuspid valve left ventricle
• Left ventricle aortic semilunar valve aorta
• Aorta systemic circulation

37. The Excretory System
The excretory system is the system of an organism which is
responsible for the elimination of wastes produced by
homeostasis.
https://www.facebook.com/karriersolution https://www.linkedin.com/in/anubhav2
38. THE SYSTEM
• The excretory system
helps to remove body
waste safely.
• The kidneys act like filters.
https://www.facebook.com/karriersolution https://www.linkedin.com/in/anubhav2
39. Components
• The kidneys regulate the amount of water, salts and other
substances in the blood. The kidneys are fist-sized, bean shaped
structures that remove urine and excess salts from the blood.
• The ureters are tubes that carry urine from the pelvis of the
kidneys to the urinary bladder.
• The urinary bladder temporarily stores urine until it is released
from the body.
• The urethra is the tube that carries urine from the urinary
bladder to the outside of the body. The outer end of the urethra
is controlled by a circular muscle called a sphincter.
https://www.facebook.com/karriersolution https://www.linkedin.com/in/anubhav2
40. KIDNEYS
• The two kidneys are located
near the spine in the middle
of the back.
• They are protected by lower
ribs and covered by layers of
fat.
• Without the kidneys, it would
not take long before the
body’s system would be
poisoned by its own waste.
• It is possible to function with
only one kidney.
