    The document discusses the major human organ systems and their functions. It explains that the body is made up of cells organized into organs like the liver, eyes, and ears. These organs work together in systems, like the circulatory system involving the heart and blood vessels, digestive system involving the mouth and intestines, and respiratory system involving the lungs. It describes how these systems work to transport nutrients and oxygen around the body, break down food, remove waste, and allow other essential functions through coordinated control by the brain.

    CHAPTER 3: HUMANS

    3.1 WHERE ARE YOUR ORGANS

    Your body is about 60 % water by weight.


    Most of the water are in the body cells.
    Cells are organised into organs. Liver is
    a big organ while eyes and ears are small
    organs.

    3.1 WHERE ARE YOUR ORGANS

    Composition of water in the body

    3.1 WHERE ARE YOUR ORGANS

    Liver is a big organ

    3.1 WHERE ARE YOUR ORGANS

    Eyes are small organs

    Ear is a small organ

    3.1 WHERE ARE YOUR ORGANS

    Each organ has its own function. Your


    eyes see, your ears hear and your heart
    pumps blood.
    Our skin is the largest organ in our body
    and protect the internal organs. It also
    gives us our appearance and shape.
    The largest and heaviest internal organ
    in the body is the liver.

    3.1 WHERE ARE YOUR ORGANS

    3.1 WHERE ARE YOUR ORGANS

    The heart is in the middle of the body.


    The left side of the heart is bigger than
    the right.

    3.1 WHERE ARE YOUR ORGANS

    A human heart

    3.2 ORGANISATION

    The organs of your body work together


    in systems.
    Each system has a scientific name and is
    made up of different organs.

    3.2 ORGANISATION
    System

    Description

    Circulatory system

    Transports blood to all parts of the body


    Made up of the heart, the arteries that carry the
    blood away from the heart, the tiny capillaries and
    the veins that carry the blood back to the heart

    Digestive system

    Breaks down food so it can be absorbed by the small


    intestine
    Starts with your mouth and ends with the large
    intestine

    Respiratory system

    Provides oxygen to your body


    Made up of the lungs and the airways

    3.2 ORGANISATION

    Organs work in systems, which work


    together.

    3.2 ORGANISATION

    A doctor uses a stethoscope to hear


    your heart beat.
    The heart beat consists of two sounds,
    lub-dup because the heart contracts
    and relaxes alternately.
    Your pulse is also your heart beat rate.

    3.2 ORGANISATION

    3.3 DIGESTION

    When you swallow your food, it travels


    through your digestive system (gut).
    On its way, the food is digested and
    finally absorbed by the small intestine.
    Undigested food will be hardened in the
    large intestine and becomes faeces.

    3.3 DIGESTION

    3.4 BREATHING IN AND OUT

    You need oxygen every day, even if you


    are sleeping. Without oxygen, you
    cannot release the energy from your
    food.
    Breathing in is called inhalation.
    Breathing out is called exhalation.

    3.4 BREATHING IN AND OUT

    3.4 BREATHING IN AND OUT

    Breathing in and breathing out

    3.4 BREATHING IN AND OUT

    Breathing in and breathing out

    3.5 DEALING WITH WASTE

    Another important system in your body


    deals with excretion. Excretion is the
    removal of waste products from the
    body.
    If you did not excrete waste, it would
    build up and harm your body.

    3.5 DEALING WITH WASTE

    3.5 DEALING WITH WASTE

    Urine from the kidneys is stored in a bag


    called the bladder.
    The urine passes out of your body when
    you go to the lavatory. It is pale yellow in
    colour.

    3.5 DEALING WITH WASTE

    The kidneys and bladder

    3.5 DEALING WITH WASTE

    If your kidneys fail, you can use a dialysis


    machine.
    A dialysis machine is an artificial kidney.
    You may be connected to it for an hour or
    more, three times a week. It filters your
    blood instead of your kidneys.

    3.5 DEALING WITH WASTE

    A dialysis machine

    3.6 CONTROLLING YOUR BODY

    Your brain is about the size of a coconut.


    Its surface is wrinkled, like a walnut.
    Your brain is in control of your body.
    Everything you see and hear, everything
    you smell and taste, is sent to your brain.
    It also gets signals from inside your body
    about all your organs.

    3.6 CONTROLLING YOUR BODY

    A model of the human brain

    3.6 CONTROLLING YOUR BODY

    Your brain deals with a lot of important


    business without bothering you.
