Learning outcomes

• Understand the major function of Plant's organ

• Understand the function of the major organ system in human body

• Explore the role of skeleton, joints and the principle of antagonistic muscles

• Research the work of scientists studying the human body

Organism is

a living thing that has an organized structure, can react to stimuli, reproduce, grow, adapt, and maintain stability of the body system (homeostatic). An organism would, therefore, be any animal, plant, fungus, protist, bacterium on earth. These organisms may be classified in various ways.

Plants study

Body parts and function (root, stem, leaves)

Human as organism

• Human organ system (digestive, circulatory, nervous, respiratory)

• Skeleton, joints, muscles

• Studying the human body

The digestive system

• Food you eat will broken down into tiny particles during the digestion

• The digestion result will fulfill the nutrient to the cell thus it support your organ to work, it transfers through circulatory system (blood)

Read the diagram carefully and try to understand at least to the function of major organ such as mouth, esophagus, intestine and rectum.

This is the main organ for the nervous system in human body

This is the organs that works in respiratory system

Please read and try to understand the function of respiratory system in human body

Joints

A joint is the part of the body where two or more bones meet to allow movement. There are two types of joints, fixed and movable joint.

Structure of movable joint

Muscles

are organs that help us to move

​Antagonistic muscles

Studying the human body

• Anatomists (study the structure of the body)

• Physiologist (study the way that the body works). Types: sports physiologist and neuroscientist

Activity 1.6 (coursebook page 17)
