How is the body organized? Groups of organs form organ systems. For example, the human digestive system is made up of several organs including the mouth, gullet, stomach and small intestine. The different organs in a system are linked together by tubes or vessels. What other human body systems can you think of? 1 10 ofof 20 40 © Boardworks Ltd 2005 2004

How is the body organized? Why do organisms have to be so organized? Organization of the body allows complex organisms to carry out many different jobs at the same time. body life processes grow reproduce move Be sensitive and respond to things respire feed excrete Being organized means that the body does not waste energy, so it is more efficient. 1 11 ofof 20 40 © Boardworks Ltd 2005 2004

What are living things made of? Cells are the building blocks of life. They come in all shapes and sizes. Some organisms are made up of only one cell and are called uni-cellular. Others are made up of lots of cells and are called multi-cellular. 1 17 ofof 20 40 © Boardworks Ltd 2005 2004

When does the body need to produce new cells? Think of the following situations…. . growth Your body loses cells and cells are constantly dying but your skin doesn’t disappear and you don’t get smaller. repair You cut your finger. The wound is eventually healed and weeks later you cannot even see where the cut used to be. reproduction Your body can make sex cells. In humans, these cells are sperm or egg cells. These cells contain the same genetic information that can be found in other body cells. 1 28 ofof 20 40 © Boardworks Ltd 2005 2004

How does the body produce new cells? The body needs to produce new cells for three main reasons: ● growth ● repair ● reproduction How does it produce these cells? The body is always producing new cells from old cells dividing. This is called cell division. 1 29 ofof 20 40 © Boardworks Ltd 2005 2004

Where do cells come from? Cell division occurs extremely quickly and each new cell is also able to divide. 1 30 ofof 20 40 © Boardworks Ltd 2005 2004
