BODY SYSTEMS
Your body is a brilliant machine with many important parts. The human body is a complex biological system
involving cells, tissues, organs, and systems all working together to make up a human being.
Main Structures
From the outside, the human body can be divided into several main structures. The head houses the brain
which controls the body. The neck and trunk house many of the important systems that keep the body alive and healthy. The limbs (arms and legs) help the body to move about and function in the world.

Senses
The human body has five main senses that it uses to convey information about the outside world to the brain.
These senses include sight (eyes), hearing (ears)Hearing and the Ear, smell (nose), taste (tongue), and touch (skin).

Organ Systems
The human body consists of several organ systems. Each system is made up of organs and other body structures
that work together to perform a specific function. Most scientists divide the body into 11 systems.
Watch the following video to learn more about our main body systems:that work together to perform a specific function. Most scientists divide the body into 11 systems.
But we are going to work on these seven systems:
- Circulatory System. (heart, blood, vessels)
- Respiratory System. (nose, trachea, lungs)
- Skeletal System. (bones)
- Excretory System. (lungs, large intestine, kidneys)
- Urinary System. (bladder, kidneys)
- Muscular System. (muscles)
- Endocrine System.

I have some fun activities for you! Let’s start our unit looking for vocabulary:
Then we are going to work by teams, you are going to do a research about one of the seven systems
(circulatory system, respiratory system, skeletal system, excretory system, urinary system, muscular system,
and endocrine system), work on a poster and final presentation.

At the end of our unit, you are going to check how much you have learned! Let test our knowledge with this quiz!
