My BodyBy: Jolie M

The body is made up of many bones and muscles. This is a presentation about them.

The HeartThe heart pumps blood throughout the body. It pumps for the rest of your life. It beats at about 72 beats per minute. In a average of 66 year life span it beats 2.5 billion times. Without your heart you would die.

The heart is a giant muscle in our bodies. It allows us to have our blood to go through our bodies. Most of the time we don’t even know this is happening. It occurs nonstop. The heart never rests.

Healthy Hint Keep your body healthy by eating right.

The MandibleThe mandible

The mandible is the largest and strongest bone in your face. It serves for the reception of your lower of your lower teeth. The 2 parts of the mandible are very important. The mandible can also be called

the jawbone. It holds your lower teeth in place. There are 2 parts of the mandible the lower and upper mandible. This allows you to open and close your mouth. The upper mandible is functionally equivalent to the human maxilla, but mainly consists of the premaxillary bones.

The Skeletal System

The Skeleton SystemThe Cranium

The skull is a bony structure. The skull supports the face and also protects the head against a possible injury. The skull can be divided into two parts: the cranium and the mandible. A skull that doesn’t have a mandible is only a cranium. Those animals having skulls are called craniates.Functions of the skull include protection of

the brain, fixing the distance between the eyes to allow stereoscopic vision, and fixing the position of the ears to help the brain use auditory cues to judge direction and distance of sounds.

The cranium protects the brain it is like a shell. The cranium is made up of 8 bones. The cranium is located right on top of the mandible. It is the upper portion of the skull.

Muscles of the Body

Occipital TrapeziumsThe occipital muscle is a muscle that covers parts of the skull orcranium. It consists of 2 parts or as some people call it bellies. The occipital belly is near the occipital bone. The other belly, the frontal belly is near the frontal bone. It action in the body is to draw the scalp back which raises the eyebrows and wrinkles.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occipitofrontalis_muscle

The trapeziums is the long muscle that extends itself down to the Occipital bone to the thoracic vertebrae and across to the shoulder blade. This muscle has 3 functions.1. The superior region is the partin which supports the weight of the arm.2. The intermediate region reacts to the scapulae. 3. The inferior region which medially rotates and depresses theScapulae.

Healthy HintDrink water

not soft drinks to keep your muscles

strong

The occipital muscle is near the occipital bone. It stretches across the parts of the cranium. It raises the eyebrows and wrinkles.

The trapeziums has three regions that help us move our arms. It is located down the occipital bone to the thoracic vertebrae and is across from the shoulder blade.

Muscles of the body

The skin covers your bones and muscles. It is actually it is a organ. It's job is to protect the body, keep the body at the right temperature, and it allows us to have the sense of touch. The biggest job it has is that it keeps our body together. In meaning that without that our skin all our guts and bones would be hanging out.

Skin

The skin is the largest organ in the body. The Skin covers all parts of the body. It is a vital part of your body. The skin is always creating new cells and skin cells are always dying it happens without you even knowing. There are 3 layers of skin : the top one is the epidermis,The middle on is the dermis,And the last on is the hyper dermis.

The Nervous System

The nervous system is made up of your brain,spinal cord, and a giant network of nerves that thread throughout your body. The nervous system helpsyou smell, taste, touch, and many more things. Your brain uses the info from your nerves to tell what the body should do. The nerves are like dominoes, when one fells, touches, Hears or anything else it passes a electrical current to the brain.

The nervous system is like the control system for the body. It is in control of your body. It tells the brain when to talk, walk, or anything else. If you didn’t have the nervous system then you wouldn’t be able to do anything. The nerve areA thin thread spread throughout your body. They Are very small, but can be at least 3 feet long!

The Digestive SystemThe digestive system is made of the mouth, intestines, stomach, and you esophagus. When you’re eating food it doesn’t just gofrom your mouth to your stomach. It has a very complicated system. The digestive systemhas the Important job of digesting your food.As soon as the food reaches you’re mouth salviaappears in your mouth. It may seem gross, but salviahas a important job in the digestive system. It helps youbreak down your food while your chewing. The esophagus Is a long tube that carries the food down your throat. The Esophagus actually has a muscle that pushes the food down.This action is called peristalsis. The opposite of this is vomiting.Next comes in the stomach. It breaks the food down even more.It uses help from the gastric, which gets rid of all the bacteria. Then the stomach sends off all the food to the intestines. The small intestines take all the minerals and vitamins for the body to be able to use them. Then all the rest of the food that you cannot use Is sorted into solid of liquid. http://kids.lovetoknow.com/wiki/Digestive_System_for_Kids

The Digestive System

The digestive system is made of 4 main things. The mouth, intestines, stomach, and the esophagus. The food goes through a much harder process then you think. The first thing that happens is that it goes in your mouth and your mouth produces salvia and this helps break down the food. The next thing is that the food goes down your esophagus and and into the stomach and breaks down the food even more. It gets help from the gastric to get rid of the bacteria. Next it is on to the small intestines to take all the nutrients from the food and the sorts the food into liquids and solids.

The Circulatory System

The circulatory system is made of many muscles and vessels. This controls the flow of your blood around your body. It is made of 4 main parts these are the heart, arteries, veins, and capillaries. As the blood begins to move it leaves the heart and leaves through the left aorta. The blood leaving the aorta is filled with oxygen. The blood filled with oxygen now will be carried throughout the body in the system of arteries and into the smallest arterioles. On the way back to the heart it goes through the a system of veins. As it reaches the heart the carbon dioxide in the blood is removed and replaced with oxygen that you inhaled through your lungs.http://library.thinkquest.org/5777/cir1.htm

The circulatory system is in control of your blood flow and the way it moves around the body. It is made up of 2 main things: muscles and veins. When the blood begins to move it leaves the heart. It exits through the left aorta. When the blood is leaves it is filled with oxygen. Then starts to travel around the body. It first goes to a system of arteries and then on its way back to the heart it goes through a system of vein ad when it gets to the heart the carbon dioxide is removed then replaced with new oxygen from the lungs.

The Respiratory SystemLungs are the largest organ in your body.The lungs work with the respiratory system to make you be able to breathe fresh air, get rid of old air, and talk. The lung are located in your upper chest and take up almost all the space up there. It is protected by your rib cage. While you inhale your lungs get bigger and take in oxygen. This happens because so many alveoli fill up with air causing the lungs to expand. The alveoli allow the oxygen to pass into your blood. The blood cells in your body need oxygen every minute of the day. The oxygen enters the blood in the tiny capillaries, hitching a ride on red blood cells and traveling through layers of blood vessels to the heart. Now the body has to get rid of all the carbon dioxide and other waste products of exhaling. By breathing out of your nose all the waste products are leaving your body and it’s warm. This is caused by when the air picks up heat from the body.

The Respiratory System

The respiratory system is made up of all the parts of your body that enable you to breathe. You breath in order to bring oxygen into the body and get rid of carbon dioxide. The lungs are part of this. The lungs bring in the air and convert it to oxygen and deliver it to the cells. The oxygen is carried into the red blood cells by capillaries.

Vocabulary• Aorta: the largest artery in the body, originating from the left ventricle of the

heart extends down to the abdomen, where it branches off into two smaller arteries. The aorta brings oxygenated blood to all parts of the body in the systemic circulation.

• Premaxilla: a pair of small cranial bones at the very tip of the jaws of many animals, usually bearing teeth, but not always. They are connected to the maxilla and the nasals.

• Inferior Vena Cava: the large vein that carries de-oxygenated blood from the lower half of the body into the right atrium of the heart.

• Thoracic Vertebrae: composes the middle segment of the vertebral column, between the cervical vertebrae (neck) and the lumbar vertebrae (lower back).

• Stratum corneum: the outermost layer of the epidermis, composed of large, flat, plate-like envelopes filled with keratin, which is made up of dead cells that have migrated up from the stratum granulosum.
