Muscles are the only tissue in the body that has the ability to contract and therefore move the other parts that are united to them. The organs that are  in this system are three types of muscle tissue, which are visceral, cardiac, and skeletal tissues. Visceral Muscle is found inside of organs like the stomach, intestines, and blood vessels. This is the weakest of all muscle tissues and is considered an involuntary muscle since it is controlled bu an unconscious part of the brain. The cardiac muscle is only found in the heart, cardiac muscle is responsible for pumping blood throughout the body. This muscle tissue also cannot be controlled consciously, and it is also an involuntary muscle. The last one is the skeletal muscle this is the only voluntary muscle tissue in the human body, every physical thing that the human does consciously requires this muscle. The function of this muscle is to contract to move parts of the body closer to the bone that the muscle is attached to. The muscular system works with the skeletal system by moving the bones in our body to do things. It works with the The nervous system by the nerves and the muscles working together to move. It works with the circulatory system in which the circulatory system brings nutrients to the muscles and also takes the wastes away. The heart is in the circulatory system and it is a muscle. The muscular system also works with the digestive system in one place that it works with it is the jaw which is moved by the muscular system which chews food and starts digestion in the digestive system. It also works with the respiratory system by the muscle the diaphragm which is what makes the lungs inflate and deflate.]]> 2016-04-17 18:53:38 UTC https://padlet.com/agustin_camus2/humanbodysystemsproject/wish/106190553 agustin_camus2 https://padlet.com/agustin_camus2/humanbodysystemsproject/wish/106191738 The skeletal system performs the vital function of the human body, it provides support, movement, protection, blood cell production, calcium storage and endocrine regulation. The organs that are in the skeletal system are bones, ligaments, joints, tendons, and cartilage. Bones are the most important organ in the skeletal system, the human skeleton is made up of 206 bones. Ligaments and joints are another important component of the skeletal system. They are made of fibrous collagen tissue that attaches one bone to another bone. This attachment forms joints and allows a bone to move in a specific direction. Tendons are similar to ligaments, they are also important to the skeletal system which join muscles to bones, which make them more flexible so as to provide greater range of movement. Excessive flexibility of tendons make them more prone to injuries and infections. Cartilage is another organ in the skeletal system, this is soft and flexible connective tissue. Cartilage not only plays a role in maintaining and forming the shape of human ear and nose as well as other organ, but also protects the bones against friction forces. The skeletal system works with the muscular system. Skeletal muscles must be attached to something at either end to give them support while they contract. Skeletal muscles are connected to bones via bands of connective tissue called tendons.]]> 2016-04-17 19:15:57 UTC https://padlet.com/agustin_camus2/humanbodysystemsproject/wish/106191738 agustin_camus2 https://padlet.com/agustin_camus2/humanbodysystemsproject/wish/106196519 The nervous system consists of the brain, spinal cord, sensory organs, and all of the nerves that connect these organs with the rest of the body. Together these organs are responsible for the control of the body and communication among its parts. The nervous system consists of the brain, spinal cord, sensory organs, and all of the nerves that connect these organs with the rest of the body. The brain is a soft, wrinkled organ that weighs about 3 pounds, and is located inside the cranial cavity, where the bones of the skull surround and protect it. The spinal cord is a long, thin mass of bundled neurons that carries information through the vertebral cavity of the spine beginning at the medulla oblongata of the brain on its superior end and continuing inferiority to the lumbar region of the spine. The brain and the spinal cord together form the central nervous system, where information is processed and responses originate. Nerves are bundles of axons in the peripheral nervous system that act as information highways to carry signals between the brain and spinal cord and the rest of the body. Sensory organs are components of the nervous system, what are known as the special senses are all detected by specialized organs such as the eyes, taste buds, and olfactory epithelium. Sensory receptors for the general senses like touch, temperature, and pain are found throughout most of the body. The nervous system interacts with every other system in our body. In the same way that all of our cells need oxygen transported by the circulatory system, all of your tissues and organs require instruction and direction from the nervous system. There is obvious interaction between your muscles and your nervous system, That interaction helps you move around and interact with your environment]]> 2016-04-17 20:46:36 UTC https://padlet.com/agustin_camus2/humanbodysystemsproject/wish/106196519 agustin_camus2 https://padlet.com/agustin_camus2/humanbodysystemsproject/wish/106197824 The human respiratory system is a series of organs responsible for taking in oxygen and expelling carbon dioxide. The primary organs of the respiratory system are lungs, which carry out this exchange of gases as we breathe. Red blood cells collect the oxygen from the lungs and carry it to the part of the body where it is needed. The organs of this system are the nose, mouth which we use to breathe. The trachea or the windpipe which filters the air that is inhaled. The bronchial tubes lead to the lobes of the lungs. The alveolar walls which are extremely thin, these walls are composed of a single layer of tissues called epithelial cells and tiny blood vessels called pulmonary capillaries. The diaphragm, is a dome-shaped muscle at the bottom of the lungs, controls breathing and separates the chest cavity from the abdominal cavity. The respiratory system interacts with the circulatory system because the lungs are where the oxygen is picked up by the blood and then transports around the body. It also interacts with the nervous system which is what controls the breathing rate. It also interacts with the immune system, most of the respiratory system is lined with mucous membranes which contain mucosal-associated lymphoid tissue.]]> 2016-04-17 21:16:51 UTC https://padlet.com/agustin_camus2/humanbodysystemsproject/wish/106197824 agustin_camus2 https://padlet.com/agustin_camus2/humanbodysystemsproject/wish/106199753 2016-04-17 22:03:54 UTC https://padlet.com/agustin_camus2/humanbodysystemsproject/wish/106199753 agustin_camus2 https://padlet.com/agustin_camus2/humanbodysystemsproject/wish/106199765 2016-04-17 22:04:16 UTC https://padlet.com/agustin_camus2/humanbodysystemsproject/wish/106199765 agustin_camus2 https://padlet.com/agustin_camus2/humanbodysystemsproject/wish/106199787 2016-04-17 22:04:59 UTC https://padlet.com/agustin_camus2/humanbodysystemsproject/wish/106199787 agustin_camus2 https://padlet.com/agustin_camus2/humanbodysystemsproject/wish/106199807 2016-04-17 22:05:33 UTC https://padlet.com/agustin_camus2/humanbodysystemsproject/wish/106199807 agustin_camus2 https://padlet.com/agustin_camus2/humanbodysystemsproject/wish/106199837 The circulatory system is a vast network of organs and vessel that is responsible for the flow of blood, nutrients, hormones, oxygen and other gases to and from cells throughout our bodies. Without this system in out body, the body would not be able to fight disease or maintain a stable internal environment known as homeostasis. The organs in this system are The Heart, Blood Vessels, Blood and Lungs. The heart is located slightly to the left of the middle of our chest, and it is made up of strong muscle tissue and it protected by our rib cage. Even though it is no larger than the size of our fist, it plays a vitally important role in your body. It consists of four hollow chambers. All four work quite like pumps and push blood throughout our body. Blood vessels are one of the most important circulatory system organs, our blood vessels allow blood flow quickly from one region to another and then allow it to come back to our heart. Our heart pumps blood throughout our bodies and it travels though thousand miles, mainly because it has to move though the network of blood vessels within your body. The Lungs aren't technically a part of the circulatory system organs, but they really help make it possible for our heart to function correctly. The circulatory system touches every organ in our body. The system is connect to all of our body's cells so that it can transport oxygen effectively. When we breathe, the circulatory system carries oxygen to our cells and carries dissolved carbon dioxide back to the lungs. The circulatory system and its fluids in your are very important to our digestive system that has absorbed nutrients from our food. Hormones created by our endocrine system are sent though the body by the circulatory system.]]> 2016-04-17 22:06:11 UTC https://padlet.com/agustin_camus2/humanbodysystemsproject/wish/106199837 agustin_camus2 https://padlet.com/agustin_camus2/humanbodysystemsproject/wish/106200941 2016-04-17 22:38:52 UTC https://padlet.com/agustin_camus2/humanbodysystemsproject/wish/106200941 agustin_camus2 https://padlet.com/agustin_camus2/humanbodysystemsproject/wish/106201762 The human digestive system is a series of organs that converts food into essential nutrients that are absorbed into the body and eliminates unused waste material. It is essential to good health because if the digestive system shuts down, the body cannot be nourished or rid itself of waste. The digestive system consists of the mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, liver and gallbladder, pancreas, and the large intestine. Food begins it's journey through the digestive system in the mouth, also known as the oral cavity. The pharynx, or throat, is a funnel-shaped tube connect to the posterior end of the mouth. The pharynx is responsible for the passing of masses of chewed food from the mouth to the esophagus. The esophagus is a muscular tube connecting the pharynx to the stomach that is part of the upper gastrointestinal tract. It carries swallowed masses of chewed food along its length. The stomach is a muscular sac that is located on the left side of the abdominal cavity, just inferior to the diaphragm. This major organ acts as a storage tank for food that the body has time to digest large meals properly. The small intestine is a long, thin tube about 1 inch in diameter and about 10 feet long that is part of the lower gastrointestinal tract. The liver is a roughly triangular accessory organ of the digestive system located to the right of the stomach, just inferior to the diaphragm and superior to the small intestine. The pancreas is a large gland located just inferior and posterior to the stomach. It is about 6 inches long. The large intestine is a long, thick tube about 2 and a half inches in diameter and about 5 feet long. The large intestine absorbs water and contains many symbiotic bacteria that aid in the breaking down of wastes to extract some small amounts of nutrients. The digestive system works very closely with the circulatory system to get the absorbed nutrients distributed through our bodies. The circulatory system also carries chemical signals from our endocrine system that control the speed of digestion. The digestive system also works in parallel with our excretory system.]]> 2016-04-17 23:02:12 UTC https://padlet.com/agustin_camus2/humanbodysystemsproject/wish/106201762 agustin_camus2 https://padlet.com/agustin_camus2/humanbodysystemsproject/wish/106202641 2016-04-17 23:24:01 UTC https://padlet.com/agustin_camus2/humanbodysystemsproject/wish/106202641 agustin_camus2 https://padlet.com/agustin_camus2/humanbodysystemsproject/wish/106202684 The endocrine system is the collection of glands that produce hormones that regulate metabolism, growth and development, tissue function, sexual function, reproduction, sleep, and mood. The endocrine system consists of the pituitary gland, thyroid gland, parathyroid glands, adrenal glands, pancreas, ovaries, and testicles. The pituitary gland, also known as the hypophysis, is a small pea-sized lump of tissue connected to the inferior portion of the hypothalamus of the brain. The thyroid gland is a butterfly-shaped gland located at the base of the neck and wrapped around the lateral sides of the trachea. The parathyroid glands are 4 small masses of glandular tissue found on the posterior side of the thyroid gland. They produce the hormone parathyroid hormone, which is involved in calcium ion homeostasis. The adrenal glands are a pair of roughly triangular glands found immediately superior to the kidneys. They are made of 2 distinct layers, each with their own unique function. The pancreas is a large gland located in the abdominal cavity just inferior and posterior to the stomach. The pancreas is considered to be a heterocrine gland as it contains both endocrine and exocrine tissue. The ovaries and testicles are the reproductive organs of the bodies the ovaries are in the female bodies and the testicles are in the male bodies. The endocrine system is everywhere and the chemicals produced by the system act in a variety of ways on every cell of our body. The circulatory system is the transport system for endocrine information. While the nervous system uses neurons, the endocrine chemicals and hormones must circulate through the body via blood vessels. Endocrine glands are everywhere.]]> 2016-04-17 23:24:46 UTC https://padlet.com/agustin_camus2/humanbodysystemsproject/wish/106202684 agustin_camus2 https://padlet.com/agustin_camus2/humanbodysystemsproject/wish/106204102 2016-04-17 23:50:37 UTC https://padlet.com/agustin_camus2/humanbodysystemsproject/wish/106204102 agustin_camus2 https://padlet.com/agustin_camus2/humanbodysystemsproject/wish/106204204 2016-04-17 23:52:46 UTC https://padlet.com/agustin_camus2/humanbodysystemsproject/wish/106204204 agustin_camus2 https://padlet.com/agustin_camus2/humanbodysystemsproject/wish/106204253 2016-04-17 23:53:37 UTC https://padlet.com/agustin_camus2/humanbodysystemsproject/wish/106204253 agustin_camus2 https://padlet.com/agustin_camus2/humanbodysystemsproject/wish/106204289 2016-04-17 23:54:13 UTC https://padlet.com/agustin_camus2/humanbodysystemsproject/wish/106204289 agustin_camus2 https://padlet.com/agustin_camus2/humanbodysystemsproject/wish/106204352 2016-04-17 23:55:14 UTC https://padlet.com/agustin_camus2/humanbodysystemsproject/wish/106204352 agustin_camus2 https://padlet.com/agustin_camus2/humanbodysystemsproject/wish/106204381 2016-04-17 23:55:37 UTC https://padlet.com/agustin_camus2/humanbodysystemsproject/wish/106204381 agustin_camus2 https://padlet.com/agustin_camus2/humanbodysystemsproject/wish/106204399 2016-04-17 23:56:02 UTC https://padlet.com/agustin_camus2/humanbodysystemsproject/wish/106204399 agustin_camus2 https://padlet.com/agustin_camus2/humanbodysystemsproject/wish/106204414 2016-04-17 23:56:28 UTC https://padlet.com/agustin_camus2/humanbodysystemsproject/wish/106204414 agustin_camus2 https://padlet.com/agustin_camus2/humanbodysystemsproject/wish/106204580 "Muscular System." InnerBody.
