Now that we are a few days into our Human Body Systems Project, I thought it might be a good time to check in.
I would like each group to post something about the system you are studying. Please post something here that teaches other people about your system.
You can also use this space to ask questions about systems other than the one you are studying.

I am learning about the excretory system for Mr.Ardito’s class project. I have learned that the excretory system has to do with excretion. All the stuff in the excretory system makes excretion possible.
The circualtory system is an organ system that moves nutrients, gases and wastes to and from cells, helps fight diseases and helps stabilize body temperature and pH to maintain homeostasis.
The respiratory system functions to allow gas exchange. It includes airways, lungs and the respiratory muscles.
We thing that Mr. Ardito made us do 2 body systems because they are related somehow.
The digestive system is made up of the digestive tract—a series of hollow organs joined in a long, twisting tube from the mouth to the anus—and other organs that help the body break down and absorb food.
Organs that make up the digestive tract are the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine—also called the colon—rectum, and anus.
What we have learned about the Nervous System...
We have learnd that the nervous system is made up of many parts, and that with all those parts there are a reaction. the meirpms get julia really annoyed.
we are going to add more along the way
My partner and I are studying and examining the Circulatory System. We've learned that the circulatory sytem is very important to the body because without it, we wouldn't be able to recieve oxygen, let go of carbon dioxide, let our blood flow to our: body,lungs, heart, and brain;We also learned that a lot of diseases could affect it and if a certain disease reaches its thrid stage, it could be deadly. Whereas some diseases attack and then you die, either instantly or a slow, painful death.
My group is learning about the endocrine system. So far we have learned some of its parts and their definitions.
Glands: a cell or group of cells that produce and release substances used nearby or in another part of the body.
Hormones: chemical substances created by the body that control numerous body functions.
Target Cells: a cell that has receptors for the product of a signaling cell.
Receptors: specialized structures, often on the surface of cells, that recognize molecules for signaling or for transporting into the cell.
Negative Feedback: one thing happening and stops something else from happening.
The respiration system is the system that supplies air to our cells. A disease that affects the Respiration system is Asthma. Asthma unfotunatly cannot be cured, however, it's symtoms can be temporarily removed with an inhaler. Asthma constricts the airways, lines it with a thick mucus, and causes inflamtion, which makes it harder to breath, limiting the oxygen intake for your cells.
For our project we are researching the nervous system. So far we have learned that humans have nerve cells and they send messages to the brain. The brain has about 100 billion neurons.
I learned about an disease called motor neurone disease.It occures in the middle age and cause muscle weakness. We will post more when we learn more!
Our group is learning about the excretory system.One thing we learned is how the urine is transfered from the kidney to the bladder and then how it gets excreated from the bladder.
we are working on our word search and gathering info on viruses sofar we seem to be on track.
My partner and I are researching the Muscular/Skeletal system. We have finished our powerpoint slide show. We learned that there are 206 bones in the human body. We are well on track.
