1. What writing skills did you improve while working on your Human Body Research Paper? Explain. 2. What are some concepts that you learned about the human body during this unit that you think are important (not just interesting)? 3. What was the most challenging part of writing your Human Body Research Paper? Why? 4. What aspect of the Human Body Research Paper are you most proud of? Why? | 1. I had to think what made sense and put it in the right order. If I didn't it wouldn't make sense. 2. Well I think the concept of the heart is important because it tells how its not the red heart that you see its kind of shaped like you fist. Its also important to know how it works in general. Also the digestive system because the food isn't just pooping out food its getting important nutrients and water. 3. Well it was hard to change it up. You didn't want to bore the people and you dont want to repeat stuff. Its challenging. 4. I'm proud of my document that shows how I did. I was very proud of the muscular because it was very hard and it was one of my first. |
Introduction To Human Body Research Paper:The human body has six main systems and is a complex machine that is constantly working to keep us alive. Although each system has its own unique jobs to do, they synergize to keep us healthy and active.
The skeletal system is responsible for giving us support, structure, and protection and works together with the muscular system to move our body. Our muscles pull our bones, which allows us to move, jump, and run! The muscular system actually plays an important role in delivering oxygen to our body’s cells. Without the heart, one of our most important muscles, blood wouldn’t be able to travel around our body! Luckily for us, the blood travels through our lungs, where it drops off carbon dioxide and picks up oxygen that our cells are craving. Speaking of craving, did you ever know that the main purpose of our digestive system isn’t just to digest food? It’s job is actually to take nutrients and water out of what we eat and drink and then deliver it to the circulatory system where it gets delivered to the cells in our body. But none of these systems would work without the direction of our nervous system!
Skeletal System
The skeletal system has several important jobs to do in our body. It is responsible for creating blood cells, providing our body with support and structure, and enabling us to move. We have several bones that are responsible for protecting our organs like the ribs protect our heart and lungs, and the skull protects our brain! Bones cannot move unless joined together at joints. Ligaments connect our bones together and cartilage prevents them from rubbing together which would be painful! We are so lucky to have strong, powerful, yet moveable bones in our body!
Inside The bones Body Paragraph 1:
The bones in our body are made up of four distinct layers. Each of these layers has important responsibilities and are vital to our day-to-day life. The outer layer of bone is called compact bone. Compact bone is solid throughout and enables our body to be supported. Compact bone is so dense that surgeon’s need to use a saw to cut through it. The next layer of bone is called spongy bone and it is lightweight and porous, which prevents our bones from getting too heavy, but still be strong. It makes up about 20% of our skeleton, and it’s found mostly in long bones, joints, and in our spine. The center of many bones are filled with a gelatinous substance called bone marrow. Bone marrow is responsible for creating red blood cells and some of our white blood cells. Bone marrow also makes platelets for our circulatory system. In addition, bone marrow stores iron for when our body needs it. We have two different types of bone marrow: yellow and red. We are born with red marrow, but it slowly changes to yellow over time. Finally, the outermost part of bone is covered in periosteum, a thin, fibrous membrane that covers all bones. The membrane is responsible for helping to create new bone in children and does the same when adults sustain an injury. The periosteum is the site at which ligaments, tendons, and muscles attach to bone! It also contains the blood vessels that allow nutrients and oxygen to the get to the bones! Knowing the four layers of bones can help us to understand just how complex our human body really is!
Joint Body Paragraph 2
Introduction to Joints: There are many joint that are in your body and helping. From helping you to walking or throwing a ball. You need these joint to let you move. The joints hold us together and pull us apart. They let us do things we do today.
One tissue that flexible, tough and connects things is cartilage. Cartilage is found in nose the ears, and on joints. They use shark and cow cartilage for a treatment for osteoarthritis and cancer. This cartilage is called bovine cartilage. A bone connector where it connects bone to adjacent bone is the ligaments. Ligaments are made of collagen fibers that are are strong very strong and flexible and are able to hold the bones. (obviously or ligament wouldn't hold bones together.)Your femur and tibia are both links of the ligaments.The joint that is called the plane joint and gliding joint is a joint that when is found at its places are flat or slightly curved. Plane joints permit sliding or gliding movements in the plane of articular surfaces. The opposed surfaces of the bones are flat or almost flat, with movement limited by their tight joint capsules. Plane joints are numerous and are nearly always small.They are usually in big groups and their size is almost always small.The movement of them is very limited because of the tight joint capsules.The joint now is the joint where the ankle, elbow, and the knee is. Then hinge joint. Hinge joint can only go up in down which is why they are called hinge joints.: The toes and fingers have hinge joints as well. Thats why you can't bend your toes and fingers to back because your hinge joints only go down and straight.The rotary joints is one that can only make a rotating motion. pivot joint, also called rotary joint, or trochoid joint, in vertebrate anatomy, a joint that allows only rotary movement.: The pivot joint is found in the upper arm which very helpful for opening a jar.This joint is found in the shoulder and the joint is called the ball and socket joint. This joint is where a ball goes into a socket and then you can move in ways like spinning the ball or it going up and down or both. The hip joint is the ball and socket joint which lets you spin and move freely.
As you can see, the skeletal system has many important jobs to do. It allows us to stand straight up, move our body around and protects our most important organs. However the skeletal system can't move our body by itself. It needs the help of our Muscular System.
Muscular System:
Introduction: The muscular system is a system that is connected to a few other systems. Like the smooth muscle that lets you swallow or the Cardiac muscle that is your heart. Involuntary muscles and voluntary muscle doing their jobs.
Body Paragraph 1 Voluntary muscles
The voluntary muscles are muscles you control. Biceps and triceps muscles are examples of skeletal muscles. The biceps pull the bone up and the triceps pull down. The biceps is on top of your arm and when you tense your arm it it is the muscle that pops up. The tricep is below and less noticeable unless you strain it to where it kind of hearts. You do feel the skeletal muscles through your skin. Something that helps a lot are tendons.Tendons are muscles that attach muscle to bone and thats how the biceps muscle pulls up and the triceps muscle pulls down. The skeletal muscles are the muscles that contract and pull back like the biceps and triceps or the muscles in your knee.
Body Paragraph 2. Involuntary
Involuntary muscles are muscles you don't control. The heart for example wich is the Cardiac muscles. The cardiac muscle (Or the heart.) is a muscle you can slow down by resting and speed up my moving but you can't just say “Heart stop.”. Hearts are striped and are in bundles of cardiac muscles. Cardiac muscles pump blood and are one of the three major muscles. Another thing is the smooth muscle. The smooth muscle forces your food into your intestines without hurting. They are found in the digestive system.
Conclusion Paragraph: That sums up the muscles system. These muscles as you have learned let you move live and prosper. To the Cardiac muscle to the smooth muscles. Voluntary and involuntary muscles that let you move. The circulatory system is important as well and we need it.
Circulatory System:
Introduction: The Circulatory System is a vital system. It contains the heart and blood that protects and gives strength to muscles. It carries your blood and blocks injuries. It is a system that you can see and hear. This is the Circulatory System.
Body Paragraph 1:
Blood
Blood is everywhere on your body. When you get a cut blood is coming out. Blood is very important to our body. It runs oxygen and other sources around. It feeds our body oxygen and energy. It also clots and does other things. There different types of blood as well to the more common ones like Red blood cells. Or less known ones like platelets. Any way red blood cells is blood that carries the oxygen everywhere and the water and nutrients to our muscles and other important parts. It is one of the most important bloods. There is also white blood cells which fight infections. They will reproduce to fight them all off. Mostly they reproduce under your chin in the neck. Another thing of the blood family are platelets. Platelets are the dams that clog up your cuts and scratches. It stops it until a scab comes which is all the dried up blood. If you pick that dried up blood off(Otherwise known as scabs.) the blood comes up. It can't make new skin when you're picking at the dam. Plasma is the last thing and it carries blood cells. It is a liquid and is mostly water and protein.
Blood Vessels
Blood vessels carry blood everywhere. Arteries are an example. They carry oxygenated blood away from the heart to the muscles. Blood vessels however carry blood to your heart to re-oxygenate. You see these in your wrist. Capillaries are the very small vessels that take blood away from arteries to give oxygen to the muscles.
Body Paragraph 3
Heart.
The heart is a muscles that you learned in the Muscular system. Its also part of the Circulatory. It pumps blood. It has four chambers that that do their part. But you only start with one and you progress very quickly to four chambers. The left Atrium is sort of a waiting room. It takes good blood and puts it in the Left Ventricle where the Left Ventricles valve shoots it through Arteries to get around the body. The Right Atrium does the same thing as the Left Atrium except it hold bad blood or blood with more carbon dioxide than oxygen. It then pumps the pumps the “bad blood” to the Right Ventricle. The Right Ventricle shoots the “bad blood” out of the valve to the lungs to pick up oxygen and drop of carbon dioxide.
Conclusion: This concludes how your body pumps blood everywhere and how your heart is built up. Its how you get oxygen to your muscles. This is why you need a Circulatory System. There is also the Respiratory System which is coming up.
Respiratory System
Introduction: The respiratory system lets you breathe. It has a giant muscle that pushes air in and out of your body. Your lungs are not the muscle. Its the diaphragm that pushes your lungs to open and breath air out. Also your lungs let you live. Thats the respiratory system.
Body Paragraph 1
Air has to get into our body somehow. The ways are the nose and mouth. Thats how you get air. So if you breath through your nose your breathing through the nasal passage. Dust and things are caught in a mucus thats in your nose. The epiglottis is a flap of skin. It covers your windpipe when you eat and drink. The larynx is the windpipe. It holds the voice box as well. It is hollow so air can get through easily. Inside the larynx is the voice box and the vocal cords. The vocal cords are a slit in our larynx that vibrates and makes noise. The voice box makes sound production and protects the trachea. The trachea is a tube that connects the larynx. The larynx connects to the trachea and the trachea brings air to the lungs. Thats the tubes in your neck.
Body Paragraph 2
We get our air through our mouth and nose and through the larynx and the trachea and the pharynx. But what fills the lungs is the diaphragm. The diaphragm makes your lungs bigger then smaller, bigger then smaller and so on. That way people can get lots of air in their lungs not just a little. The lungs are the things that give the oxygen to the blood and gets rid of the carbon dioxide. The bronchial tube is the tube that takes the air and gives it to the bronchi. The bronchi is split into two parts that give their air to the bronchioles. Bronchioles are very small. Millimeters small. They are the end of the bronchi.The alveolus are at the end of bronchioles and and are small air sacs in the lungs. There are gas exchanges that exchange carbon dioxide for oxygen. This happens by the alveoli. The alveoli exchanges. That is the tubes in lungs.
Conclusion: The conclusion for this is the respiratory is very important. You need it to live and breath. Its the only way you can get oxygen. The digestive is here and it will teach you about how you eat.
Digestive System:
Introduction: The digestive system is a system that gives you the nutrients you need. Also the water you need. It gives you your
Body Paragraph 1: The digestive path starts with the mouth. This is where you chew your food with Mechanical digestion. Mechanical digestion is where your teeth chews up your food. Saliva actually helps with chemical digestion. This is where your saliva has a substance that helps break down your food. Saliva also strengthens your teeth. As your two ways chews theres the tongue tastes. It is flexible and for us helps us talk. Also while that's happening a bolus is forming. This is the big ball that you're chewing. The bolus then proceeds to the esophagus. The esophagus is the long tube that connects to the stomach. The Peristalsis is inside the esophagus and push the food down to the stomach. The esophagus is like a stream without water, pushing the bolus. The stomach then holds the food to digest it. It rocks around the food where the food then is put into the small intestine if its food and if water big intestine. There are digestive juices that help the stomach digest and there is chyme that is the bits of food and water that go to the intestines. The small intestines absorbs nutrients from food and is very long but thin. The villi are the things that grab the nutrients to give to the blood. The enzymes that help break down food come out of the pancreas behind the stomach. The gallbladder is under the liver and holds bile. The liver takes bile and stores it in the gallbladder. They work together but you DON'T need your gallbladder. Then there's the large intestines which takes the food and turns it into feces (Poop.) and gets the vitamins and nutrients from water. It is thicker than the small intestines but shorter. Them the anus throws all the wastes out and is like a canal for feces. (Poop.)
Thus concludes the digestive system. The digestive system does not just digest food but gets the important water and nutrients we need. You now know how it works but do you know who controls it and your body. The Nervous System. Read on to learn about the nervous system and its abilities.
Nervous System:
Introduction: The nervous system is a system that controls your reflexes. When you hit uncer your knee your knee flies up right thats your nerves seeing dangers. You breathing or moving thats your brain saying “Hey lets go” or to do something.
Body Paragraph 1: The main nerve center is your brain Your brain lets you retrieve signals so you can move. The main part of the brain is the cerebrum. It is in the front of your brain and lets you control your movement and lets you move your arm or to walk. The cerebellum lets you move muscles to help you move and receives signals to move. The medulla is the brain stem. It lets you do the involuntary thing like breathing or controlling your heart rate.
Body Paragraph 2: The nerves get the message to the brain or spinal cord and back. They are the messengers. There are many kinds of nerves like sensory nerves that tell the brain sight, sound and feeling Etc. It is usually really close like your eyes are right in front of your brain so you can get to what you seeing easily. Motor nerves get signals from your spinal cord and brain and carry it to the muscle or gland that needs that signal. The spinal cord is like a secondary brain that is just a place that can take signals and sends them even faster to the brain.
Body Paragraph 3: Is a special cell that can form information itself with chemical signals. Synapses are where the nerves trade information. There were two nerves meet each other and get information. Dendrites get the information and use it to get it to the next synapses or a muscle or gland. Axons are where impulses are made to give around to other cells.
Conclusion to Nervous System: This is the ending of the 6 systems. There was the the spinal cord as a highway. And all the different types of nerves and the main part of the nervous system being the brain.
Conclusion to the Human Body Research Paper:As you can see, the human body is a complicated, unique machine that does so many important things. Not only does it help you live, but it also helps you move, think, breathe, feel, and communicate! Can you possibly imagine what life would be like if we were missing even one of these important systems? If not, maybe a few of these valuable concepts will help you understand better:
Now you have read all about our human body and how it works 24/7 for us. I hope that you learned a lot and that you can apply some of this information to your everyday life.

The skeletal system is responsible for giving us support, structure, and protection and works together with the muscular system to move our body. Our muscles pull our bones, which allows us to move, jump, and run! The muscular system actually plays an important role in delivering oxygen to our body’s cells. Without the heart, one of our most important muscles, blood wouldn’t be able to travel around our body! Luckily for us, the blood travels through our lungs, where it drops off carbon dioxide and picks up oxygen that our cells are craving. Speaking of craving, did you ever know that the main purpose of our digestive system isn’t just to digest food? It’s job is actually to take nutrients and water out of what we eat and drink and then deliver it to the circulatory system where it gets delivered to the cells in our body. But none of these systems would work without the direction of our nervous system!
Skeletal System
The skeletal system has several important jobs to do in our body. It is responsible for creating blood cells, providing our body with support and structure, and enabling us to move. We have several bones that are responsible for protecting our organs like the ribs protect our heart and lungs, and the skull protects our brain! Bones cannot move unless joined together at joints. Ligaments connect our bones together and cartilage prevents them from rubbing together which would be painful! We are so lucky to have strong, powerful, yet moveable bones in our body!
Inside The bones Body Paragraph 1:
The bones in our body are made up of four distinct layers. Each of these layers has important responsibilities and are vital to our day-to-day life. The outer layer of bone is called compact bone. Compact bone is solid throughout and enables our body to be supported. Compact bone is so dense that surgeon’s need to use a saw to cut through it. The next layer of bone is called spongy bone and it is lightweight and porous, which prevents our bones from getting too heavy, but still be strong. It makes up about 20% of our skeleton, and it’s found mostly in long bones, joints, and in our spine. The center of many bones are filled with a gelatinous substance called bone marrow. Bone marrow is responsible for creating red blood cells and some of our white blood cells. Bone marrow also makes platelets for our circulatory system. In addition, bone marrow stores iron for when our body needs it. We have two different types of bone marrow: yellow and red. We are born with red marrow, but it slowly changes to yellow over time. Finally, the outermost part of bone is covered in periosteum, a thin, fibrous membrane that covers all bones. The membrane is responsible for helping to create new bone in children and does the same when adults sustain an injury. The periosteum is the site at which ligaments, tendons, and muscles attach to bone! It also contains the blood vessels that allow nutrients and oxygen to the get to the bones! Knowing the four layers of bones can help us to understand just how complex our human body really is!
Joint Body Paragraph 2
Introduction to Joints: There are many joint that are in your body and helping. From helping you to walking or throwing a ball. You need these joint to let you move. The joints hold us together and pull us apart. They let us do things we do today.
One tissue that flexible, tough and connects things is cartilage. Cartilage is found in nose the ears, and on joints. They use shark and cow cartilage for a treatment for osteoarthritis and cancer. This cartilage is called bovine cartilage. A bone connector where it connects bone to adjacent bone is the ligaments. Ligaments are made of collagen fibers that are are strong very strong and flexible and are able to hold the bones. (obviously or ligament wouldn't hold bones together.)Your femur and tibia are both links of the ligaments.The joint that is called the plane joint and gliding joint is a joint that when is found at its places are flat or slightly curved. Plane joints permit sliding or gliding movements in the plane of articular surfaces. The opposed surfaces of the bones are flat or almost flat, with movement limited by their tight joint capsules. Plane joints are numerous and are nearly always small.They are usually in big groups and their size is almost always small.The movement of them is very limited because of the tight joint capsules.The joint now is the joint where the ankle, elbow, and the knee is. Then hinge joint. Hinge joint can only go up in down which is why they are called hinge joints.: The toes and fingers have hinge joints as well. Thats why you can't bend your toes and fingers to back because your hinge joints only go down and straight.The rotary joints is one that can only make a rotating motion. pivot joint, also called rotary joint, or trochoid joint, in vertebrate anatomy, a joint that allows only rotary movement.: The pivot joint is found in the upper arm which very helpful for opening a jar.This joint is found in the shoulder and the joint is called the ball and socket joint. This joint is where a ball goes into a socket and then you can move in ways like spinning the ball or it going up and down or both. The hip joint is the ball and socket joint which lets you spin and move freely.
As you can see, the skeletal system has many important jobs to do. It allows us to stand straight up, move our body around and protects our most important organs. However the skeletal system can't move our body by itself. It needs the help of our Muscular System.
Muscular System:
Introduction: The muscular system is a system that is connected to a few other systems. Like the smooth muscle that lets you swallow or the Cardiac muscle that is your heart. Involuntary muscles and voluntary muscle doing their jobs.
Body Paragraph 1 Voluntary muscles
The voluntary muscles are muscles you control. Biceps and triceps muscles are examples of skeletal muscles. The biceps pull the bone up and the triceps pull down. The biceps is on top of your arm and when you tense your arm it it is the muscle that pops up. The tricep is below and less noticeable unless you strain it to where it kind of hearts. You do feel the skeletal muscles through your skin. Something that helps a lot are tendons.Tendons are muscles that attach muscle to bone and thats how the biceps muscle pulls up and the triceps muscle pulls down. The skeletal muscles are the muscles that contract and pull back like the biceps and triceps or the muscles in your knee.
Body Paragraph 2. Involuntary
Involuntary muscles are muscles you don't control. The heart for example wich is the Cardiac muscles. The cardiac muscle (Or the heart.) is a muscle you can slow down by resting and speed up my moving but you can't just say “Heart stop.”. Hearts are striped and are in bundles of cardiac muscles. Cardiac muscles pump blood and are one of the three major muscles. Another thing is the smooth muscle. The smooth muscle forces your food into your intestines without hurting. They are found in the digestive system.
Conclusion Paragraph: That sums up the muscles system. These muscles as you have learned let you move live and prosper. To the Cardiac muscle to the smooth muscles. Voluntary and involuntary muscles that let you move. The circulatory system is important as well and we need it.
Circulatory System:
Introduction: The Circulatory System is a vital system. It contains the heart and blood that protects and gives strength to muscles. It carries your blood and blocks injuries. It is a system that you can see and hear. This is the Circulatory System.
Body Paragraph 1:
Blood
Blood is everywhere on your body. When you get a cut blood is coming out. Blood is very important to our body. It runs oxygen and other sources around. It feeds our body oxygen and energy. It also clots and does other things. There different types of blood as well to the more common ones like Red blood cells. Or less known ones like platelets. Any way red blood cells is blood that carries the oxygen everywhere and the water and nutrients to our muscles and other important parts. It is one of the most important bloods. There is also white blood cells which fight infections. They will reproduce to fight them all off. Mostly they reproduce under your chin in the neck. Another thing of the blood family are platelets. Platelets are the dams that clog up your cuts and scratches. It stops it until a scab comes which is all the dried up blood. If you pick that dried up blood off(Otherwise known as scabs.) the blood comes up. It can't make new skin when you're picking at the dam. Plasma is the last thing and it carries blood cells. It is a liquid and is mostly water and protein.
Blood Vessels
Blood vessels carry blood everywhere. Arteries are an example. They carry oxygenated blood away from the heart to the muscles. Blood vessels however carry blood to your heart to re-oxygenate. You see these in your wrist. Capillaries are the very small vessels that take blood away from arteries to give oxygen to the muscles.
Body Paragraph 3
Heart.
The heart is a muscles that you learned in the Muscular system. Its also part of the Circulatory. It pumps blood. It has four chambers that that do their part. But you only start with one and you progress very quickly to four chambers. The left Atrium is sort of a waiting room. It takes good blood and puts it in the Left Ventricle where the Left Ventricles valve shoots it through Arteries to get around the body. The Right Atrium does the same thing as the Left Atrium except it hold bad blood or blood with more carbon dioxide than oxygen. It then pumps the pumps the “bad blood” to the Right Ventricle. The Right Ventricle shoots the “bad blood” out of the valve to the lungs to pick up oxygen and drop of carbon dioxide.
Conclusion: This concludes how your body pumps blood everywhere and how your heart is built up. Its how you get oxygen to your muscles. This is why you need a Circulatory System. There is also the Respiratory System which is coming up.
Respiratory System
Introduction: The respiratory system lets you breathe. It has a giant muscle that pushes air in and out of your body. Your lungs are not the muscle. Its the diaphragm that pushes your lungs to open and breath air out. Also your lungs let you live. Thats the respiratory system.
Body Paragraph 1
Air has to get into our body somehow. The ways are the nose and mouth. Thats how you get air. So if you breath through your nose your breathing through the nasal passage. Dust and things are caught in a mucus thats in your nose. The epiglottis is a flap of skin. It covers your windpipe when you eat and drink. The larynx is the windpipe. It holds the voice box as well. It is hollow so air can get through easily. Inside the larynx is the voice box and the vocal cords. The vocal cords are a slit in our larynx that vibrates and makes noise. The voice box makes sound production and protects the trachea. The trachea is a tube that connects the larynx. The larynx connects to the trachea and the trachea brings air to the lungs. Thats the tubes in your neck.
Body Paragraph 2
We get our air through our mouth and nose and through the larynx and the trachea and the pharynx. But what fills the lungs is the diaphragm. The diaphragm makes your lungs bigger then smaller, bigger then smaller and so on. That way people can get lots of air in their lungs not just a little. The lungs are the things that give the oxygen to the blood and gets rid of the carbon dioxide. The bronchial tube is the tube that takes the air and gives it to the bronchi. The bronchi is split into two parts that give their air to the bronchioles. Bronchioles are very small. Millimeters small. They are the end of the bronchi.The alveolus are at the end of bronchioles and and are small air sacs in the lungs. There are gas exchanges that exchange carbon dioxide for oxygen. This happens by the alveoli. The alveoli exchanges. That is the tubes in lungs.
Conclusion: The conclusion for this is the respiratory is very important. You need it to live and breath. Its the only way you can get oxygen. The digestive is here and it will teach you about how you eat.
Digestive System:
Introduction: The digestive system is a system that gives you the nutrients you need. Also the water you need. It gives you your
Body Paragraph 1: The digestive path starts with the mouth. This is where you chew your food with Mechanical digestion. Mechanical digestion is where your teeth chews up your food. Saliva actually helps with chemical digestion. This is where your saliva has a substance that helps break down your food. Saliva also strengthens your teeth. As your two ways chews theres the tongue tastes. It is flexible and for us helps us talk. Also while that's happening a bolus is forming. This is the big ball that you're chewing. The bolus then proceeds to the esophagus. The esophagus is the long tube that connects to the stomach. The Peristalsis is inside the esophagus and push the food down to the stomach. The esophagus is like a stream without water, pushing the bolus. The stomach then holds the food to digest it. It rocks around the food where the food then is put into the small intestine if its food and if water big intestine. There are digestive juices that help the stomach digest and there is chyme that is the bits of food and water that go to the intestines. The small intestines absorbs nutrients from food and is very long but thin. The villi are the things that grab the nutrients to give to the blood. The enzymes that help break down food come out of the pancreas behind the stomach. The gallbladder is under the liver and holds bile. The liver takes bile and stores it in the gallbladder. They work together but you DON'T need your gallbladder. Then there's the large intestines which takes the food and turns it into feces (Poop.) and gets the vitamins and nutrients from water. It is thicker than the small intestines but shorter. Them the anus throws all the wastes out and is like a canal for feces. (Poop.)
Thus concludes the digestive system. The digestive system does not just digest food but gets the important water and nutrients we need. You now know how it works but do you know who controls it and your body. The Nervous System. Read on to learn about the nervous system and its abilities.
Nervous System:
Introduction: The nervous system is a system that controls your reflexes. When you hit uncer your knee your knee flies up right thats your nerves seeing dangers. You breathing or moving thats your brain saying “Hey lets go” or to do something.
Body Paragraph 1: The main nerve center is your brain Your brain lets you retrieve signals so you can move. The main part of the brain is the cerebrum. It is in the front of your brain and lets you control your movement and lets you move your arm or to walk. The cerebellum lets you move muscles to help you move and receives signals to move. The medulla is the brain stem. It lets you do the involuntary thing like breathing or controlling your heart rate.
Body Paragraph 2: The nerves get the message to the brain or spinal cord and back. They are the messengers. There are many kinds of nerves like sensory nerves that tell the brain sight, sound and feeling Etc. It is usually really close like your eyes are right in front of your brain so you can get to what you seeing easily. Motor nerves get signals from your spinal cord and brain and carry it to the muscle or gland that needs that signal. The spinal cord is like a secondary brain that is just a place that can take signals and sends them even faster to the brain.
Body Paragraph 3: Is a special cell that can form information itself with chemical signals. Synapses are where the nerves trade information. There were two nerves meet each other and get information. Dendrites get the information and use it to get it to the next synapses or a muscle or gland. Axons are where impulses are made to give around to other cells.
Conclusion to Nervous System: This is the ending of the 6 systems. There was the the spinal cord as a highway. And all the different types of nerves and the main part of the nervous system being the brain.
Conclusion to the Human Body Research Paper:As you can see, the human body is a complicated, unique machine that does so many important things. Not only does it help you live, but it also helps you move, think, breathe, feel, and communicate! Can you possibly imagine what life would be like if we were missing even one of these important systems? If not, maybe a few of these valuable concepts will help you understand better:
- The bones in our body support and protect, while our muscles pull but never push!
- In addition, our blood delivers oxygen and nutrients to our cells, while the alveoli in our lungs exchange carbon dioxide for oxygen.
- Finally, our digestive system is responsible for extracting important nutrients and water from what we eat and drink, but we’d never be able to do any of these things without our amazing nervous system!
Now you have read all about our human body and how it works 24/7 for us. I hope that you learned a lot and that you can apply some of this information to your everyday life.
