Did you Know??!!
• Your brain is 80% water• A human has 60,000 miles of blood vessels in their
body • The lining of your digestive system is shed every 3 days• More than half the bones in your body are found in your
hands and feet• Everyone is color blind at birth
• 1.7 litres of saliva is produced each day • About 8 million blood cells die in the human body every
second, and the same number are born each second

THE MUSCULAR SYSTEM
workforce planning
TRIVIA!1. How many muscles are there
in the human body?• Answer: 640 Muscles• Muscles band together to form muscle
groups which work together • When the muscles contract, they pull on the
tendons which pull on the bones and cause our limbs to move
• Muscles can be either voluntary or involuntary (consider your arm vs. your heart which beats 60 to 80 beats every minute without you having to think about it!)
workforce planning
Functions of the Muscular System
Involuntary Some involuntary functions of the
muscular system are muscles to help you breathe, make your heart beat,
and help move food through the digestive system.
Voluntary Some voluntary functions of the
muscular system are like playing piano, running, playing video games,
and throwing a ball.
VocabularySmooth muscles- acts on the lining of passageways and
internal organs.Skeletal muscles- these are attached to the bone and cause
body movements Cardiac Muscles- is a type of striated muscle that forms the
wall of the heart
Problems of the Muscle SystemBruise- is a area of discolored skin that appears after an
injury.Tendonitis- is a inflammation of the tendon, caused by injury
or over use agingHernia- when a organ or tissue protrudes through an area of
weak muscle.
The Muscular System
More TRIVIA! • The longest muscle in the body is ___________• Answer- The Sartorius • The Sartorius runs from the outside of the hip, down and
across to the inside of the knee. It twists and pulls the thigh outwards.
• The smallest muscle in the body is __________ • Answer- The Stapedius • The Stapedius is located deep in the ear. It is only 5mm
long and thinner than cotton thread. It is involved in hearing.
• The biggest muscle in the body is __________ • Answer- The Gluteus Maximus• The Gluteus Maximus is located in the buttock. It pulls
the leg backwards powerfully for walking and running.
workforce planning
There are about 60 muscles in the face.
Smiling is easier than frowning.
It takes 20 muscles to smile and over 40 to frown.

The Skeletal System
workforce planning
TRIVIA!• How many bones are there in the human
body?• Answer: 206 Bones
• When you were born, your skeleton had around 350 bones. By the time you become an adult, you will only have 206 bones. This is because, as you grow, some of the bones join together to form one bone.

Functions of Skeleton System
Skeletal system provides a structure for the body. It includes a vertebrae of spine and supports upper body and head.
Types of Bones Small bones-includes bones in legs
and armsShort bones-bones in wrist and
anklesFlat bones-In skull and protect
organs like the rib cageIrregular bones-facial bones or
vertebrae bones
Inside a Bone-• Our bones are alive- they have their own
nerves and blood vessels, and they do various jobs, such as storing body minerals.
• A typical bone has an outer layer of hard or compact bone, which is very strong, dense and tough.
• Inside this is a layer of spongy bone, which is like honeycomb, lighter and slightly flexible.
• In the middle of some bones is jelly-called bone marrow, where new cells are constantly being produced for the blood.
Joints• Joints are the point were bones meet.
Types of Joints• Ball-and-socket joints- formed when a rounded head of
one bone fits into the rounded cavity of an jointed bone. Hip & shoulder
• Hinge joints-would include elbow, knee, ankle, and fingers. Allows bone to bend and straighten
• Pivot joints- allow limited rotation or turning of the head• Ellipsoidal joints- bone in wrist, and a oval shaped part
that fits in a curved space, the joints slide over each other
The Skeleton-• The Skeleton is the name given to the
collection of bones that holds the rest of our body up. Our skeleton is very important to us. It does three major jobs:
1. It protects our vital organs such as the brain, the heart and the lungs.
2. It gives us the shape that we have. Without our skeleton, we would just be a blob of blood and tissue on the floor.
3. It allows us to move. Because our muscles are attached to our bones, when our muscles move, they move the bones, and we move.
workforce planning
Healthy Bones• Most of the calcium in your
body is stored in your bones• Exercise and a good diet
help to keep bones strong • Vitamin D helps you absorb
calcium so that your bones can stay strong
• Sources of vitamin D include milk, salmon, cereal, beef and egg
• When bones break they can heal themselves, and they are stronger when they heal than they were before they were
• broken!
workforce planning
FracturesHairline fractures- is were the fracture
incompleteTransverse fracture- a fracture that is
completely across the boneJoints
Dislocation- is when the ligaments attached to the bone are torn or out of place
Torn cartilage- is a sharp blow or twisting of the joint
Arthritis- inflammation of the joint and is a result of natural wear and tear
Care of the Skeletal System Ways to care for the Skeletal system is to eat foods that contain
calcium, vitamin D, and phosphorus, they can help prevent the development of certain skeletal disorders.
Problems of the Skeletal System Problems of the skeletal system can be a result of poor nutrition, infections, sports, and recreational injuries and poor posture. Osteoporosis and dislocation of the joints are also other problems of the Skeletal System.
Vocabulary• Osteoporosis- is a condition in which progressive loss of bone tissue
occurs• Scoliosis- a lateral, or side-to-side, curvature of the spine
Careers-• A Medical Radiologic Technologist works with
a wide range of machines, film processing units, and accessory equipment to produce and record images for visualizing the extent of disease or injury to a patient.
• A radiograph (X-ray) may be a routine film of the chest or a broken finger or it may form part of the sophisticated examinations used in the detection of heart, blood vessel, or brain abnormalities.

TRIVIA!
Who discovered the X-ray?ANSWER~
• Wilhelm Roentgen, a physicist at the University of Wursburg, Germany, discovered radiation “X-rays” on November 8, 1895. This discovery altered the course of medicine.• Roentgen refused to patent his discovery or realize
financial gain from it, preferring instead that the world benefit from his research.
• Many fields have emerged in Diagnostic Imaging since Roentgen’s discovery. The science has expanded to include General Imaging, CT Scan,
Nuclear Medicine, Ultrasound and MR1

The Circulatory
System
workforce planning
Did you know?!
The average person has 4-5 litres of blood• The blood is the transport system by
which oxygen and nutrients reach the body's cells, and waste materials are carried away.
• In addition, blood carries substances called hormones, which control body processes, and antibodies to fight invading germs.
______________________________________________Red blood cells carry oxygen from the lungs to all the cells of the body while
White blood cells are like soldiers protecting the body.
______________________________________________
• ARTERIES are vessels that carry blood ____________ the heart.
• VEINS are vessels that carry blood _________ the heart.
TRIVIA!

TOWARDS
workforce planning
The Heart• Your heart is a muscle about the size of your clenched fist. • It is located in the left side of your chest, behind your rib
cage and between your lungs• It has thick muscular walls and is divided into two pumps. • Blood from the right side pump is dark red (bluish) and
low in oxygen. • This dark red blood travels along pulmonary arteries to
the lungs where it receives fresh supplies of oxygen and becomes bright red.
• The bright red blood then flows along pulmonary veins back to the heart's left side pump
• Blood leaves the left side of the heart and travels through arteries which gradually divide into capillaries.
• In the capillaries, food and oxygen are released to the body cells
• The blood then travels in veins back to the right side of the heart, and the whole process begins again.

Did You Know??!!Blood is a liquid organ
The heart beats around 3 billion times in the average person's life
• Your blood pressure is the measure of the force of blood as it flows through the arteries of the cardiovascular system
Within a tiny droplet of blood, there are some 5 million red blood cells, 300 000 platelets and 10 000 white cells.
• It takes about 20 seconds for a red blood cell to circle the whole body.

Quiz time..
The Digestive System
workforce planning
What have you EATEN today??
• Food provides us with fuel to live, energy to work and play, and the raw materials to build new cells.
• All the different varieties of food we eat are broken down by our digestive system and transported to every part of our body by our circulatory system.
–We eat about 500kg of food A Year!
workforce planning
• The main part of the digestive system is the digestive tract.
• This is like a long tube, some nine metres in total, through the middle of the body.
• It starts at the mouth, where food and drink enter the body, and finishes at the anus, where leftover food and wastes leave the body
• Every day 11.5 litres of digested food, liquids and digestive juices flow through the digestive system, but only 100mls is lost as waste.
• The Mouth- Teeth bite off and chew food which mixes it with watery saliva, from 6 salivary glands around the mouth and face
• The Oesophagus- A muscular tube that takes food from the mouth to the stomach.
– Food moves through the oesophagus by a muscular movement know as _____________
» This means that even if you stand on your head, food will still reach your stomach!
TRIVIA!
Peristalsis
The Stomach• The stomach has a thick muscular wall that contracts to mash
up the food• Stomach acids and enzymes begin to break down the
nutrients in the food we eat, particularly the proteins• The liquefied contents of the stomach enter the small
intestine for further processing• As the food is digested in the small intestine it is dissolved
into the juices from the pancreas, liver, and intestine, • The contents of the intestine are mixed and pushed forward
to allow further digestion and absorption of nutrients by the walls of the intestine.
• The waste products of this process include undigested parts of the food, known as fiber, and older cells shed from the lining of the stomach and intestine.
• These materials are propelled into the colon, where they remain, usually for a day or two, until the feces are expelled by a bowel movement.
– It takes about 20-30 hours to digest
food completely
The Respiratory System•The primary function of the respiratory system is to supply the blood with oxygen. •The respiratory system does this through breathing. •When we breathe, we inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide. •When we inhale oxygen, it goes into our lungs and is absorbed by the blood stream
The Lungs-• Inside each of your sponge-like lungs, tubes,
called bronchi, branch into even smaller tubes much like the branches of a tree. At the end of these tubes are millions of tiny bubbles or sacs called aleoli.
• They exchange the oxygen for waste products, like carbon dioxide, which the cells in your body have made and can't use.
• Once they receive the oxygen, red blood cells turn from purple to that beautiful red color as they start carrying the oxygen to all the cells in your body. *The branching
out of the aleoli creates more surface area which in turn allows for more oxygen to be absorbed.
workforce planning
• When we eat, a flap called the ________ -- flops down to cover the windpipe so that food doesn't go down the wrong tube.
• ANSWER- ___________
TRIVIA!
epiglottis

Functions of the Nervous System
The nervous system coordinates all of the activities in your body, from breathing to digesting food or sensing pain or feeling of fear.
Vocabulary Cerebrum- is the largest and most
complex part of the brain, its covered with a thin layer of gray matter
Cerebellum- is the second largest part of the brain and coordinates movement
Brain Stem- is a three inch stalk of nerve cells and fibers that connects to spinal cord to the rest of the brain
The Nervous System
Fun Facts!!!
Care and Problems of the Nervous System
Care of the Nervous System Eating a well balanced diet,
exercising regularly, and getting enough sleep affect the health of your nervous system.
Ways to Protect your Nervous System
Keep your nervous system healthy by protecting it from injury. To protect your head and spine wear a helmet and protective gear while riding a bike, motorcycle, skating, and any contact sport.
Disorders and ProblemsDisorders
Parkinson's disease-results in destruction of the nerve cells in an area of the brain that helps coordinate skeletal muscle movement
Multiple Sclerosis- involves the destruction of the myelin sheath that surrounds the axons of the neurons in the CNS
Alzheimer's disease- results with neurons in the brain are destroyed If neurons become clogged with protein deposits, they are unable to transmit impulses result in loss of memory
