LEARNING OBJECTIVE 2:

To recognize the vocabulary related to the Human body

Systems as Locomotor, Circulatory, and Digestive to
describe their parts and functions.
BIBLICAL PRINCIPLE:
The word of God is so powerful that penetrates all our
body to the deepest part of us.

Hebrews 4:12
For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any
double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul
and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and
attitudes of the heart.
 HUMAN 1. Musculoskeletal System (Locomotor
System)
BODY
The skeletal and muscular systems move
SYSTEMS our bodies. We have bones, muscles, and
joints under our skin.
Bones are hard. They dont bend.
Muscles are soft. They contract and
relax.
Joints connect bones.
THE SKELETAL SYSTEM

THE SKELETON
The bones in your body form the skeleton. The body has 206 bones.
We have bones in all parts of our bodies. They are in the head, the
trunk, and the limbs.
The bones can be:
Long like the humerus.
Short like the vertebrae.
Flat like the bones in the skull.
FUNCTIONS OF THE SKELETAL
SYSTEM
The skeleton has three uses:
It holds the body up. The bones in the spinal column do
this.
It protects the most delicate parts of the body, like the
brain, the heart, and the lungs.
It helps the body to move.
THE MUSCULAR SYSTEM

Muscles are connected to the bones and they work

together when we move.
Muscles contract and relax:
When muscles contract they become shorter.
When muscles relax they return their usual shape.
There are more than 600 muscles in the muscular system:
Head muscles: the jaws muscles open and close the mouth.
Trunk muscles: we use the abdominals when we bend our trunk
forward. We use the intercostals and the diaphragm when we
breathe.
Limb muscles: we use the biceps and triceps when we bend and
stretch our arms.
We have other muscles in the stomach and the heart that are not
connected to bones.
THE CIRCULATORY SYSTEM

The Circulatory System moves substances around our

bodies.
FUNCTIONS:
It takes oxygen to all parts of the body.
It also takes nutrients to all parts of the body.
It helps remove harmful substances from the body. It
takes carbon dioxide from the lungs and waste
substances to the excretory system.
OUR CIRCULATORY SYSTEM

Blood, blood vessels, and the heart make up the

circulatory system.
Blood: is the red liquid that goes all around the body. It
is made up of red blood cells, white blood cells, and
platelets.
The heart is the organ that pushes blood around the
body.
Blood circulates through tubes called blood vessels.
There are three kinds of blood vessels:
Arteries: take blood from the heart to the rest of the
body.
Veins: take blood with little or no oxygen from the rest of
the body to the heart.
Capillaries: are thin tubes that connect arteries and veins.
DIGESTIVE SYSTEM

Our bodies change food into nutrients in the Digestive

System. This process is called digestion.
The Digestive System is a long tube that has different
parts:
Digestion begins in the mouth. Our teeth chew food. The
food mixes with saliva, which makes it easy to swallow.
The food then passes through the pharynx and the
esophagus down to the stomach.
The stomach is the widest part of the digestive system.
Food mixes in the stomach with gastric juices.
The small intestine is a long thin tube. The liver and the
pancreas send juices into the small intestine, where
digestion is completed.
The nutrients then enter the blood.
The large intestine is wider than the small intestine. It
receives the food that we do not digest. It uses water to
change this food into feces. The feces then leave the body
through the anus
