Skeletal System

                            Skeletal System

Function: There are three main functions: 1. It allows you to move. 2. It creates blood cells in the bone marrow. 3. It protects your vital organs.

Organs:Bone, Cartilage, Tendon, Ligament

How to keep it healthy: You need physical exercise to keep your skeletal system strong/healthy. Walking or jogging for example will get you a very strong or healthy skeletal system.

Joints that the system has: fibrous, cartilagenous, and synovial. Synovial joints are the largest type of joints in the skeletal system.

Fun Facts : 1. You have 206 bones that make up your skeletal system. 2.The skeletal system is not only made up of 206 bones, but it is also made up of 206 bones and 32 teeth. 3. Bones are six times stronger that steel. 4.The smallest bone in your body is the size of a grain of rice. 5.The human feet have 52 bones. 6.In new born babies there are around 300 bones! 7.The outside of bones is hard while the inside is squishy and gooey. 8.The femur bone is the tallest bone in your body, which is present high(the femur bone, not your body.) 9.There are many bones in your hand/wrist, 8 bones in your wrist, 5 in your palm and 14 that make up your joints in your fingers. 10.Some people think that bones aren't alive, but they, when they are inside your body. Your bones are made up of bone cell.

The Circulatory (Cardiovascular) System

The Structure & Function: What is the function of the circulatory system?   The job of the circulatory   system works on circulating blood, lymph, nutrients, oxygen, other gasses, and hormones throughout the body, hence the name circulatory system. The circulatory system also balances temperature and pH balance while protecting the body from diseases. The circulatory system consists of the heart, blood vessels, blood, lymph, and the lymphatic glands & vessels. https://s3.amazonaws.com/classconnection/128/flashcards/8043128/png/insideheart1328771781022-14DEA48509547B9E19F.png What are the names and functions of the major organs in the circulatory system?  The names & functions of the major organs in the circulatory system are... Heart (cardiovascular): The heart is an organ that pumps blood through the body, providing oxygen & nutrients to the tissues (such as muscles).

The Structure & Function:  What is the function of the renal system? The function of the renal system is the eradication of wastes manufactured by homeostasis (this word comes from two combined words in Greek: "homeo" meaning similar, & "stasis" meaning stable). The organs that are used in this process are the lungs, the liver, & the kidneys. What are names & functions of the major organs in the renal system? The names & functions of the major organs in the renal system are... Kidneys: the kidneys are organs that receive the waste from the body. The kidneys then percolate things from the waste, such as salt, urea, & excess water which is disposed from the body as urine. Skin: The skin executes its function through sweat glands. Sweat is used to cool us off as well as to get rid of unwanted oils, salt, water, and other gratuitous elements that ooze from small pores in the skin. Lungs: The lungs, an important organ in both th

10/24 Interdependence of Organisms

Image
              Interdependence of Organisms The interdependence of organisms is when organisms depend on each other for food to survive. Their whole reason to survival is so that they can live long enough to reproduce.  Backward Looking - Reflection: If an animal disappears from the rainforest then the animal who depends on this dying species for it's survival will also die due to lack of food. And so on and so on. Also it will affect the animal/plant that it does eat, meaning if the humming bird disappears from the rainforest or other biomes it will affect flowers or other plants, meaning they will over populate or under populate and that biome/rainforest will not have a healthy balances of plants and animals. Inward Looking - Reflection: I liked the work that I did this week because I could understand all the animals and the food chains/webs. I also liked it because of the fun activities that we did.I liked it because instead of using everyday textbooks, we get to google thi
