I. FACTORS THAT
STIMULATE INTEREST IN THE
HUMAN BODY
Relies on intuition.

In the early years, where our ancestors

have learned that the human body can
sustain and incur damage, they first
relied on intuition on how the bodies can
be healed and the concept of magic and
superstition were used.
1.1 FACTORS THAT STIMULATE
INTEREST IN THE HUMAN BODY
Curiosity.

They were curious as some people, now

identified to be healthy people, do not need
much attention to their injuries and overall
health as compared to those whose overall
health is not good. This was the start of what
is now the known history and evolution of
medicine from its primitive origins to the
current and modernized version.
1.2 FACTORS THAT STIMULATE
INTEREST IN THE HUMAN BODY
Curiosity.

Mankind has always been a curious and

inquisitive species that we continually
evolve and deepen our understanding on
various aspects of the world - medicine
and anatomical knowledge is no different.

2. STRUCTURE OF A BODY PART

AND ITS FUNCTION/S

Nerve Tissues

We know that the formation of these nerves

are like tubes or threads of elongated cells
with branches. Its function is to deliver
messages to other nerve cells. This is now
the transmitted information across our
body, which enables a person to move and
control the other parts of the body.
2.1 STRUCTURE OF A BODY
PART AND ITS FUNTION/S
Heart

The structure of heart is like a fist that

is pumping. It also contains 4 valves
that has the function to pump
oxygenated blood throughout the body.
At the same time, it also has the
function to send us proper oxygen level
in our lungs that helps us to breathe.

2.2 STRUCTURE OF A BODY
PART AND ITS FUNCTION/S
Large Intestine

The large intestine role in our Digestive

System is to filter out the waste products
we will be excreting to our bodies. Its
structure is just like a slide that converts
the food we eat into waste. Next, we
release those wastes by taking a dump.

3. WHAT IS AN ORGANISM?
All contiguous living organisms are made
of cells such as animals, plants, or human
beings. All known types of organisms are
capable of some degree of response to
stimuli, reproduction, growth and
development, and homeostasis.

3.1 WHAT IS AN ORGANISM?

Some organisms are unicellular which
means it is made up of just one cell. Most
unicellular organisms are microscopic and
are thus classified as microorganisms.
However, more complex organisms are
multicellular and therefore, they are
composed of many cells that can be
arranged into tissues.

3.2 WHAT IS AN ORGANISM?

A group of tissues can form an organ. An
organ is composed of two or more tissue
types that perform a specific function for
the body, and the group of organs
compromises an organ system.
An organ system is a group of organs
that work together to accomplish a
common purpose. Together with the
other structural organization level, all
organ systems form the organism or
living body

4. CHARACTERISTICS OF LIFE

Movement - condition in which organisms change in position

Responsiveness - ability to sense changes and adjust from it
Growth - result of increase in size
Reproduction - condition in which organism produce new organism and new cells
Respiration - process of getting oxygen-containing air into the body (not applicable
for all organisms) and expelling dioxide-containing air out of the body.
Digestion - division of food products into simpler types that can be absorbed and
used
Absorption - passage of one substance
Circulation - flow of body fluids
Assimilation - condition where substance change into various chemical forms
Excretion - eliminating body wastes through metabolic process

 SITUATIONS

What happens in the body when you come home from school,
smell cookies baking, run to the kitchen to see if they're
done, and take one? You eat the whole cookie and drink a
glass of milk. How many body systems are involved? What
role does each play?
In the given situation, six organ systems interact together to produce the given scenario. As an
individual's body comes home from school and smells the cookies in the process of baking, the
Respiratory system is working. The Respiratory system supplies our body with oxygen and
removes carbon dioxide. Through this function, the air inside the household moves in and out of
the body, resulting in smelling the cookies being baked. The homeostatic relationship between the
Respiratory system and the Nervous system becomes evident as the Nervous system receives
the smell because our Nervous system can respond to stimuli coming from inside the body,
such as oxygen. The central nervous system then assesses the information and responds
by activating the appropriate body effectors, which prompts the Endocrine system. The food odor
stimulates and induces salivation, which sets the Endocrine system to produce saliva from
the salivary glands. As the body moves towards the kitchen, the Muscular System allows our
muscles in the lower extremity to move and stabilize our joints. The muscular system is also
needed in the body movement as an individual takes air in and out of the lungs.

On the other hand, the homeostatic relationship between the Muscular system and Skeletal
system also becomes evident. As the person moves through the Muscular System's help, the
skeletal muscle activity maintains the bone health and strength that makes any movement
possible. The Skeletal system consists of organs that support the body and provides frameworks
that the skeletal muscles can use to cause movements. Lastly, as the individual eats the whole
cookie and drinks a glass of milk, the Digestive system works. As the food enters the body, the
digestive system's role is to digest it into nutrient molecules, absorb the nutrients, and then
defecates to rid the body of the indigestible wastes.

WHAT HAPPENS IN THE BODY WHEN YOU'RE STUDYING FOR A MATH

TEST? YOU'RE READING THE PROBLEMS, WRITING THE ANSWERS,
GETTING UP TO STRETCH, AND TALKING TO A FRIEND ON THE
PHONE.HOW ARE THE BODY SYSTEMS WORKING TOGETHER TO
COMPLETE THESE TASKS?
Several organ systems are at work in the example stated. Primarily, the
nervous system is at work when studying, as the use of the eyes and
comprehension are functions of the nervous system. For the writing of
answers and getting up to stretch, with the “leadership” role of the
nervous system, the muscular system helps in the movement of the
hands and the body in general. Whenever we stretch our bodies,
we improve our flow of blood as compared to when we are at rest
(i.e. sitting down and studying). When talking to our friend on the
phone, aside from the nervous system picking up the sounds and
interpreting for a response, the integumentary system protects the
area near the ear where our cellular phones are placed during calls from the radiation it
releases.

What happens in the body when a teammate kicks the ball to

you during a soccer game and you kick it across the field
and make a goal? Think about how many body systems are
involved?
What happens in the body when a teammate passes a ball is of course, it moves. Three body
systems are involved when we play soccer. These are the Skeletal System, the Muscular
System, and the Nervous System. With the help of the Nervous System, your brain assess the
situation that your teammate passes the ball to you and you have to kick it across
the field to make a goal. A part of your brain, particularly our thalamus, sends
sensory signals to the other parts of our body so that it can move and
eventually, we act or do what needs to be done. This now involves
the function of our Muscular System and Skeletal System, which
s to help us in moving, just like walking, running and the like.

 WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU ARE COOKING A MEAL AND ACCIDENTALLY
TOUCH THE HOT PAN? HOW MANY BODY SYSTEMS ARE INVOLVED? WHAT
ROLE DOES EACH PLAY?

When we accidentally touch a hot pan while cooking, we involuntarily pull our
hand away from the source of pain which is a response of our reflex action.
his type of reflex is called withdrawal reflex wherein we remove the body
part from a painful stimulus. This action involves the nervous system wherein
when we touch the stimuli which is the hot pan, our skin receptor sends
a message to our spinal cord then to the interneurons that activates
The motor neurons which causes the muscle to move away from the stimuli.
Therefore, the muscular and skeletal systems are involved too.

REFELCTION

Many discoveries have been made inside our body throughout the years and made people
question more and seek definitive answers. The human body has many protrusions and bends -
mysteries that we have yet to discover-, and it is more than just a physical aspect that we,
unfortunately, abuse most of the time. Our body is a fascinating organism that is made up of different
parts arranged in a well-organized unit. It can be compared to many things like the cogs of a machine.
Cogs symbolize cooperation and unity, and like our human body, it consists of different structures that
have a specific job to do to make our body operate as a whole. As the levels of organization work
together inside our body, each of them contributes necessary life functions that promote the well-being
of our entire body,

For specific cogs to work, sometimes it requires a manual for people to utilize to have a reference
to use as their basis to assess the basics. Before dwelling more resonantly with anatomical terms and
intensive understanding with all the know-how, we should first consider our human body's basics. Our
body is composed of the smallest parts that are assembled into larger structures. To understand and
study the chemical level diligently, we should try to consider the simplest form. With the concepts about
how the human body is organized, our group thought that sometimes we might overlook things that are
already obvious than things that were the root cause of everything. To understand and appreciate how
the human body was organized, we need to learn and build a foundation from where it all started to
have a better grasp of things once we dig deeper with different information.

That being said, we can honestly say that our body holds mysteries we have yet to discover -
mysteries we never know if we’ll ever solve. But it is important to note that like every mystery that has
been solved, it will only be a matter of time before we unlock the truth hidden within our bodies. Until
then, as we study this as our specialization, we must create the strong foundation necessary for further
inquiry and investigation.
