  1. If You Give a Kid a Cookie . . . Body Systems By Room Six Fifth Grade

  2. Introduction Ok lets begin like this, everything in your body works together.  There are four important systems that we will talk about; in specific they are the digestive system, excretory system, respiratory system, and circulatory system. You might think that only one system by itself may stand alone. Not true!

  3. Everything in your body works together. Think of a rollercoaster; you go on it and there is a dead end--you will fall out. The body works like a carnival ride: there is an entrance and a exit. The entrance is the mouth and the exit is your butt also known as your colon and rectum.

  4. Your body is a working machine and if you don’t take care of your body it could destroy you. Your systems all need to stay in good working order, just like your mom’s car. If the car isn’t taken care of, the car won’t work. If your body isn’t cared for, you can’t work.

  5. …so what happens when you eat a cookie?

  6. Digestive System

  7. The Digestive System is an organ and tissue system that breaks food down to nutrients that your body needs. The first step in digesting your food is your mouth; second step is the esophagus; third step is the stomach; fourth step is the liver; fifth step is the Small Intestine; next the Large Intestine; and finally, the colon. This system feeds your body cells. Digestion process takes 12 hours to 2 days to complete.

  8. Mouth When you take a bite of your food, your saliva helps break  down your food. Your teeth grind your food to smaller pieces, With the help of  your saliva. Your saliva helps you swallow your food. Some of your food nutrients are given to your body cells. The mouth is the first step of digesting your food. Esophagus The esophagus is a long tube that goes down your throat. When you swallow your food it goes down your esophagus like a slide. Your food is pushed down the esophagus by muscles contracting and releasing. After it goes down it goes your esophagus, it goes down your stomach. The job of the esophagus is it moves the food, liquids and saliva from the mouth to the stomach

  9. Liver The liver is the biggest solid organ in the body; its average weight is 3.5 pounds. The liver makes the important proteins; plasma proteins, hormones, and prohormones. The liver is in two pieces, the right lobe and the left lobe. Each lobe is made of small units called lobules. The liver is also used to clean blood. Food does not go to the liver directly. When the food gets to the liver it has already been broken down. Pancreas The pancreas is an important gland. The pancreas is about six-ten inches long, 1 ½ inches wide 1 inch thick and sits on the back of the stomach. It makes a digestive juice that goes into the small intestine. It is pinkish-yellow. The purpose of the pancreas is to produce important enzymes and hormones which helps break down food. Gallbladder The gallbladder is the size of a pear. andstores bile, which is released when food containing fat enters the digestive tract

  10. Stomach When we swallow our food we also swallow air and a way to get the air out is by burping. When you take a bite of your food your stomach grounds the food up into small pieces so that it can go throw a tube that fits then it goes to the small intestine. Did you know when you blush (when your face turns red) the ring around your stomach turns cherry color . The word stomach was delivered from the Greek and it was pronounced stomachos.

  11. Small Intestine In the small intestine, there are 3 parts: duodenum, jejunum, and ileum. Duodenum crushes bits from the bitten pieces of what you have eaten; the jejunum absorbs carbohydrates and proteins; and the ileum absorbs nutrients and the small bits of food goes to a long and narrow tube. It then goes to the large intestine.

  12. Large Intestine     The Large Intestine follows the Small Intestine. The Large Intestine breaks the food to liquids. This is the last step in digesting your food. Once all the good stuff is taken from the food, the parts your body can’t digest are sent into the large intestine, the last part of the digestive process. The large intestine gathers extra liquid to produce the solid waste we know as feces (poop).

  13. Colon The main purpose of the colon is to release wastes that comes from the large intestine. When you release waste, the large intestine becomes clean and not yucky mush in the tube. It is the last step in the digestive system. there are three divided parts in the colon; there is ascending, transverse, and descending. It can take days for waste to move through the large intestine and colon-- the waste moves about 1 centimeter per hour

  14. Circulatory System

  15. Circulatory System There are many organs in the Circulatory System. There is the heart, veins, and blood vessels. The Circulatory System helps carry the oxygen and nutrients to all parts of the body. Each part of the Circulatory System is important. The heart pumps blood through the blood vessels. The blood vessels help carry the oxygen and nutrients. The Circulatory System is in charge of exchanging oxygen and nutrients.

  16. The Heart The heart pumps blood to all parts of the body through arteries. The oxygen rich-blood goes to the left side of the heart. The human heart is a double pump made of four chambers. Before the heart beats, two of the chambers fill with blood. Then the heart squeezes and contracts blood into a large tube which is called a blood vessel.

  17. Blood Vessels Blood vessels carry blood throughout our body. There are different kinds of blood vessels: capillaries, arteries, and veins. There are many types of blood. The liquid blood is called plasma. There are platelets, red blood cells, and white blood cells. Platelets help clog wounds. Red blood cell help carry oxygen throughout our body. White blood cells help fight infection. Capillaries switch carbon dioxide in the air sax with oxygen. Capillaries also get nutrients in the villi in the small intestine. Plasma carries ammonia to the liver where it is filtered then turned to urea.

  18. ExcretorySystem

  19. Introduction The Excretory System has only three parts. There are the kidneys, the ureters, and the final part of the Excretory System where your pee comes out, the bladder. Kidneys The kidneys are first because they filter everything you drink. Ureters Following the kidneys are the ureters which are tubes. The tubes help the liquid get to the bladder. Bladder The bladder is the final part of the excretory system. The bladder is used as a bag that holds the pee. When the bladder gets full you go take it out and into the toilet it goes. So if you can imagine that you didn’t have anything like kidneys, ureters, and a bladder you would not be able to pee. This may have bad consequences.

  20. Bladder       The job of the bladder is to take out the urine (pee). If you do not have a bladder you would die. You also will not be able pee. Imagine holding your urine--you could die! Your urine goes through your Ureters and then it goes into your bladder. The bladder is very important for your body. Remember not to hold your pee or your bladder could be destroyed.

  21. Kidneys       Kidneys are great help for our body. The job of the kidney is to clean the things that we drink. Kidneys are the most important organ in the Excretory System. Each organ has a job. If you don’t take care of your body there is a possibility that you can lose a kidney, and you can die if you don’t have a kidney. The consequences of not taking care of your kidneys are not good. It is such an important organ for your body.

  22. Ureters       The Ureters are tubes that are connected to the kidneys and the bladder. The Ureters is where the water goes through so it can go to your bladder. So, first the pee goes through your kidneys and then the Ureters work as tubes that the pee goes through and then it goes to your bladder then you go pee.

  23. RespiratorySystem

  24. Introduction The respiratory system is also known as the air or breathing system. This system begins with your mouth or nose inhaling air, Then it travels down your trachea (windpipe). The trachea helps carries air through the lungs and makes it moist as it goes through. Next it goes into your lungs by your bronchi; in the lungs air the bronchi helps air get into your lungs, it’s like a bridge. Air is carried by blood cells to all parts of the body. Next, the diaphragm is the main muscle in the respiratory system. It is the system that brings in the air.

  25. Nasal Cavity The nasal cavity is located inside of your nose. There are also little brushes that help clean the air you breathe in, blocking dirt and dust from getting into your lungs, like a broom inside of your nose. The job of the nasal cavity is to let oxygen flow to your lungs from your nose (nasal cavity). Another job of the nasal cavity is so you can have a sense of smell. The nasal cavity is the second breathing source after the mouth. Mouth What is the mouth? The mouth is a part of your body that takes in food and liquid. Our lips help us pick up food. In your mouth there are two rows of teeth. The teeth are used to crush all the food that comes through. The food forms the shape of a bolus getting ready to be swallowed. Salivary glands on the floors and walls of the mouth produce saliva or spit. As you chew, the saliva mixes with the food. Saliva helps humans swallow all the dry food and begins to digest sugar.

  26. Diaphragm The diaphragm is located near the bottom of the rib cage, and it is the main muscle in the respiratory system. This organ helps pull air into your body. When the diaphragm moves air comes in or out. This muscle is shaped like a dome. It is attached to your rib cage.

  27. Lungs The lungs are the main organ in the respiratory system. Inside the lungs oxygen goes through the thin walls with small air sacs. Then air is carriedby cells to parts of the body such as the Heart, kidney, and all the other parts. Carbon dioxide is left, but when you exhale it leaves. When you inhale your lungs get bigger and when you exhale they get smaller. Bronchi The Bronchi are the pass- way and air entrance to the lungs. They are split into two, the right and the left. The right has three branches and the left with two. The Bronchi job is to take in air to the lungs. When the bronchi gets bigger, helps air go into the lungs. The bronchi protects the lungs from any bad things, like getting sick. Trachea Another name for the trachea is “the windpipe”. The trachea is a tube that carries air between the lungs. A human body’s trachea is about 5 inches (13 centimeters) long and just less than 1 inch (2.5 from one side to the other. Half of the trachea is in the neck and the other half is in the chest. The trachea is a passage for air to pass. As it passes it gets moist and warm while it is getting ready to go to the lungs.

  28. Conclusion • So, what do you think? Now will you take care of your body and leave all that junk food like, let’s say Hot Cheetos, alone? Well, whether you stop or not, now you know that you should take very good care of your body so it can take care of you for a long, long time.
