  2. Systems • Cell – The smallest living thing that can preform life functions • Tissue – group of similar cells working together for one function • Organ – A group of tissues working together • System - A group of organs working together

  3. Skeletal System • Gives us shape, protects organs and produces blood. • Parts • Bones – Provide structure, make blood • Marrow – Inside of bones, make blood • Femur – Strongest bone in the body • Cartilage – Soft tissue in between bones • Ligament – Holds bones together

Run to the surface of all organs • Blood – carries nutrients and waste

  8. Nervous System • Controls all functions • Parts: • Brain – Main control unit of the Nervous system • Nerves – stretch throughout the body and transfer information • Spinal cord – Runs down your back, connects nerves to brain • Synapse – sends information between nerve cells

  9. Epithelial System • Protects the body, controls temperature, holds your organs in • Parts: • Epidermis – Outer layer protects the body • Dermis – Middle layer contains sweat glands, hair follicles and capillaries • Hypodermis – Mostly fat, insulates and absorbs shock • Sebaceous fat – connected to hypodermis insulates and stores energy

  10. Endocrine • Produces hormones, that are needed for proper body function and growth • Parts: • Gland – Produces hormones • Hormones – chemicals that excite cells • Metabolism – Turn food to energy • Hypothalamus – maintains homeostasis • Pituitary – controls growth
