Understand the functioning of the body systems associated with energy and metabolism The physiology of the Respiratory System Oxygen is needed by the cells as it contributes to the stimulation of ATP which is required and essential for energy metabolism. When oxygen is impassive from the air which we breathed in and exchanged gases begin to take place among the blood and the air which is situated in the alveoli. When gas and air begin to exchange together this arises in the alveoli. Within the surface…

SKELETAL SYSTEM Human skeletal system is commonly called the framework of the body; this is because it shapes the human body. This ‘framework’ consists of bones, cartilages and joints. Joints are a vital component of the skeletal system as it makes up the firm and stiff skeleton which enables different parts of the body to make various types of movements, therefore if the joints weren’t present in the skeleton; there would be no movement leading to the human body becoming rather insignificant.…

Q1 - Choose and describe any five systems of the body. (Approximately 100 words on each system, 4 marks per system.) The skeletal system The skeletal system has five main functions; Protection The rigidity of our bones allows them to protect our internal organs from damage for example the rib cage and the skull protect our lungs and brain. The cranium protects the brain, The thorax (The rib cage, spine, and sternum) protects the heart and lungs, The vertebral column protects the spinal…

Overview of Unit The Human Body unit is designed to lay a foundation for individual learning and awareness of each child’s individual needs as a learner by presenting an understanding of what is required to maintain life, how the body systems support each other, and how the systems support the brain. After learning the parts of the brain, students will be introduced to the multiple intelligences. Students will evaluate themselves to determine their own “smart.” Then, they will learn about eminent…
