Skeletal system functions
· protect
· support
· give bones something to pull on
· produce blood cells
Form and function of bones
· why bones are hollow
· why bones are round
· why bones are spongy
· connecting bones---ligaments
· protecting bones---cartilage

Types of joints---paper model

Your body is made up of cells, tissues, organs, body systems
 

Muscles work in pairs---paper model of biceps/ triceps

Muscular system functions
move bones, move blood, move food through the digestive system, move lungs and organs

Types of muscles
Voluntary and involuntary

skeletal, cardiac, smooth
Tendons connect bones and muscles

 Brain---brain hats
· right and left hemisphere
· cerebellum
· cerebrum
· medulla
Sight----model of the eye
· path of light through the eye
· parts of the eye
¨ cornea, iris, pupil, lens, retina, optic nerve,

Sound
· path of sound to the ear
· parts of the ear---outer ear, ear canal, ear drum,  hammer, anvil, stirrup, cochlea, auditory nerve

Taste
· sweet, salty, sour, bitter, umami
· taste buds

Smell
How do smells get to the brain?
· smell receptors
· olfactory nerve
