Human-system
Human-system
throughout the body. It consists of the heart, blood vessels, and blood.
1. The Heart
The heart is a muscular organ that pumps blood throughout the body. It has four chambers:
2. Blood Vessels
Arteries – Carry oxygen-rich blood away from the heart to the body. The aorta is the largest artery.
Veins – Carry oxygen-poor blood back to the heart. The vena cava is the largest vein.
Capillaries – Tiny blood vessels that allow the exchange of oxygen, nutrients, and waste between blood and tissues.
3. Blood Circulation
Pulmonary circulation – Blood moves from the heart to the lungs to pick up oxygen and release carbon dioxide, then
returns to the heart.
Systemic circulation – Oxygen-rich blood is pumped from the heart to all parts of the body and returns as oxygen-
poor blood.
4. Components of Blood
Plasma – The liquid part of blood that transports nutrients, hormones, and waste.

Air enters through the nose, where it is filtered by tiny hairs and mucus.
The nasal cavity warms and moistens the air before it moves to the lungs.
It directs air into the trachea and food into the esophagus.
Contains the vocal cords, which produce sound when air passes through them.
Prevents food from entering the trachea with the epiglottis, a flap that covers the airway during swallowing.
It is lined with mucus and tiny hairs (cilia) that trap dust and bacteria.
The trachea splits into two bronchi, which carry air into each lung.
Inside the lungs, bronchi divide into smaller bronchioles, leading to air sacs.
Alveoli are where the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide takes place.
Oxygen from the air moves into the bloodstream, and carbon dioxide moves out to be exhaled.
G. The Diaphragm
It contracts to allow air in (inhalation) and relaxes to push air out (exhalation).
The chest cavity expands, and air is drawn into the lungs.
Carbon dioxide from the blood moves into the alveoli and is exhaled.
Works with the circulatory system to deliver oxygen to tissues and remove waste gases.

The human excretory system is responsible for removing waste products and excess substances from the body. This
system plays a vital role in maintaining homeostasis by regulating water balance, salt levels, and the elimination of
harmful substances. The main organs involved in excretion include the kidneys, ureters, bladder, urethra, skin, lungs,
and liver.

The human nervous system is a complex network that controls and coordinates body activities. It allows the body to
receive, process, and respond to stimuli from the environment. The nervous system is divided into two main parts:
A. The Brain
It processes sensory information, controls movement, regulates emotions, and enables thinking and memory.
Cerebrum – The largest part, responsible for thinking, memory, voluntary movements, and sensory perception.
Brainstem – Connects the brain to the spinal cord and controls involuntary functions like breathing and heart rate.
B. The Spinal Cord
Carries messages between the brain and the rest of the body.
Sends sensory information from the skin, muscles, and joints to the CNS.
Sympathetic Nervous System – Activates the "fight or flight" response, increasing heart rate and energy levels during
stress.
Parasympathetic Nervous System – Activates the "rest and digest" response, slowing the heart rate and conserving
energy.
Sensory Neurons – Carry information from sensory organs (eyes, ears, skin, etc.) to the CNS.
Motor Neurons – Carry commands from the CNS to muscles and glands.
The signal travels through a reflex arc, which includes a sensory neuron, an interneuron, and a motor neuron.

The human reproductive system is responsible for producing, storing, and delivering reproductive cells (gametes) to
ensure the continuation of the species. It also plays a role in hormone production, which influences physical
development and reproductive functions. The reproductive system differs between males and females, with each
having specialized organs and functions.
Testes (Testicles)
Scrotum
A sac that holds the testes outside the body to maintain a lower temperature, which is necessary for sperm
production.
Epididymis
A coiled tube where sperm matures and is stored before being transported.
Vas Deferens
Urethra
A tube that carries semen and urine out of the body through the penis.
Penis
The external organ that delivers sperm into the female reproductive tract.
Ovaries
Produce egg cells (ova) and the female hormones estrogen and progesterone.
Tubes that transport the egg from the ovary to the uterus.
The site where fertilization (the union of sperm and egg) usually occurs.
Uterus (Womb)
A muscular organ where a fertilized egg implants and grows into a baby.
Endometrium
The inner lining of the uterus that thickens during the menstrual cycle to support a fertilized egg.
Cervix
Helps regulate the passage of sperm into the uterus and protects against infections.
A. Gamete Production
Occurs when a sperm cell meets and fuses with an egg cell in the fallopian tube.
The fertilized egg forms a zygote, which begins dividing and developing.
The zygote moves to the uterus and implants into the endometrium.
D. Menstrual Cycle
If fertilization does not occur, the thickened uterine lining is shed through menstruation.
