Part 1: Overview of the Human Body


Use the information in the video to help you answer the questions below. (10 pts)
1. Which 4 body systems provide an infrastructure for the other systems?

2. The ___________________
skeletal system is responsible for providing the frame for the body
and anchor points for muscles to produce movement.

skeletal
3. The muscular system contains three types of tissues: ______________________,
_________________________,
smooth and _______________________________.
cardiac

4. The ___________________________
cardiovascular system is nestled between the muscles and direct
blood flow and delivers oxygen, white blood cells, and nutrients throughout the body.

5. The brain, spinal cord, cranial nerves, and spinal nerves compose the
______________________
nervous system, which communicate and coordinate bodily
functions.

6. The Endocrine system uses ______________________


hormones alongside the nervous system to
help regulate the body.

7. The ________________________
lymphatic system, also called the Immune system helps our
body fight out infections and invaders.

8. The _______________________
urinary system contains the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and the
urethra, which all aid in removing waste and toxins from the body.
9. The respiratory system includes a passageway for us to absorb lifesaving
_______________________
oxygen in exchange for carbon dioxide.

Part 3: Human Tissue Types
Use the information in the lesson to help you complete the chart below. (16 pts)

Tissue Type Function Examples


protection, secretion, lining for inner surface of
absorption, and providing blood vessels, alveoli,
Epithelial surfaces for diffusion kidney tubules segments,
lining of capillaries

bind, anchor, and support cartilage, bones, blood


the body and its organs
Connective and fill spaces, store fat,
and transport materials

Muscles are the body's all sorts of muscles


motors, functioning to
Muscle produce movement

receive and transmit neurons, neuroglia


electrical impulses from
Nervous specific areas of the body
and send them to specific
locations in the body
