UNIT 1 YOUR BODY 2. - WHAT TYPE OF LIVING BEINGS ARE WE? Human beings are animals. We have got a lot in common with other animals.

We can´t make our own food. We feed on other animals and plants. We have got sense organs and can move from one place to another.

2.- WHAT TYPE OF ANIMAL ARE WE?     

Humans are mammals: when a baby is born, it feeds on milk from its mother.

We are viviparous animals: human mothers give birth to live young.

We are land animals: we breathe oxygen and live on dry land.

We are omnivores: we feed on animals and plants.

We are vertebrates: we have got an internal skeleton with a spinal column.

We share all these characteristics with gorillas, chimpanzees and orangutans.

Human beings are mammals, viviparous, land animals, onmivores and vertebrates.

3.- THE SHAPE OF OUR BODY Our body is made up of three main parts: the head, the trunk and the limbs.   

Our head is big, and inside is the brain.

Our trunk is flexible.

Our limbs are long and flexible.

The bodies of boys and girls are very similar but they have different genitals.

Girls have a vagina; boys have a penis and testicles. Women have little body hair and breasts which produce milk. Men have lots of body hair.

Boys and girls have got different genitals: girls have got vagina and boys have got penis and testicles.

4.- THE THREE VITAL FUNCTIONS Human beings have got three vital functions: nutrition, interaction and reproduction

NUTRITION: They are all organic functions that convert food to get the energy for the body.    

The digestive system helps the body to get the nutrients it needs.

The respiratory system takes oxygen from the air The circulatory system moves blood around our bodies.

The excretory system removes waste substances.

Digestive system

Respiratory system Excretory system

Circulartory system

INTERACTION: Humans can feel what is happening inside and outside their bodies and react.

The sense organs receive information from inside and outside our bodies.

The brain and nerves recognize all the information from our senses. The brain then tells the body how to react.

Muscles and bones carry out the brain´s commands and give us movement.

Humans can feel what is happening inside and outside their body and react .

They use the senses, the brain and nerves and the muscles and bones.

NOW CLIC AND TEST WHAT YOU KNOW ABOUT YOUR BONES

REPRODUCTION: Humans beings have got reproductive organs to produce babies.

Men have got male reproductive organs. Women have got female reproductive organs. A baby develops inside a woman´s body.

The woman gives birth to the baby.

5. - THE STAGES OF LIFE

Humans change during their lives.

GESTATION: Our body begins to grow and develop during the nine months of gestation. It ends when we are born.

CHILDHOOD: is the first eleven or twelve years of a human´s life. We learn to walk, talk and control our bodies.

ADOLESCENCE: starts at about eleven or twelve, we become teenagers.

Our body finishes growing but we continue to learn.

ADULTHOOD: lasts from twenty until about seventy years of age. We usually start a family and go to work. We continue learning and gaining experience and confidence.

OLD AGE: starts at about seventy years of age. Our bodies and minds start to deteriorate, at the end of this stage, we die.

Stages of life: gestation, childhood, adolescence, adulthood and old age.

6. - THE FIVE SENSES People have five senses. The five senses are hearing, seeing, smelling, tasting,

Hearing: We hear with our ears. Sounds go into my ears. Inside my ear, sounds hit an eardrum.

Nerves tell my brain about the sound. My brain tells me what I am hearing. There are three parts to the ear: the outer, the middle and the inner.

We hear with our hears. The brain tells me what I am hearing Seeing: We see with our eyes.

The eyes work like a camera. They take in light from the thing we are looking at and make a tiny picture of it on the back of the eyeball.

Nerves inside the eyes take a message to the brain about the picture. The brain tells us what it is we are looking at. The light goes into the eyes through the pupils. The part at the back of the eye where the picture is made is the retina. The light is focused onto the retina by the lens, which is just behind the pupil. The

We see with our eyes. The brain tells me what I am looking at.

Smelling: We smell with our nose. Nerves inside the nose take messages to the brain about the smells that come into the nose in the air. The brain tells what we are smelling.

We smell with our nose. The brain tells what we are smelling.

Tasting: We taste with our tongue. The tongue is covered with about 10,000 very tiny bumps called taste buds. Taste buds on different parts of the tongue taste different things; sweet, sour, salty, and bitter. Chemicals in the food we eat make the taste buds work and nerves in the tongue send messages to the brain which tells us what it is we are tasting.

We taste with our tongue. We taste sweet, sour, salty and bitter. The brain tells what we are tasting.

Touching: We touch and feel with our skin.

Nerve endings in the skin send messages to the brain that tell us about what we are touching, such as whether it is warm, hot, cold, painful, soft, prickly, rough, sticky.

We tough with our skin. We taste cold, soft, rough, sticky. The brains tells what we are tasting.
