Science: Human Cells and Digestion

The Human Body: Cells and Digestion Cells, Tissues, and Organs:

  • All living things are made up of cells too small to be seen without a microscope.
  • The human body is made up of different types of cells including: stem, bone, blood,
    muscle, fat, skin, nerve.
  • Cells combine to form tissues.
  • Tissues combine to form organs.
  • Organs combine to form organ systems.
 

The Digestive and Excretory Systems:

  • The human body has complex systems, including the digestive and excretory systems.
  • The digestive system includes body parts that take in and process food (salivary
    glands, taste buds, teeth, esophagus, stomach, liver, small intestine, large intestine).
  • The excretory system includes those body parts that eliminate some kinds of wastes
(kidneys, bladder, urethra).
 
Taking Care of Your Body:
  •  A healthy lifestyle involves performing certain behaviors and avoiding other behaviors.
  • The body needs specific foods, vitamins, and minerals in certain quantities to function
    properly.
  • Organizations make recommendations about what nutrients people need to stay healthy.
