Body+Systems+and+Nutritional+Deficiencies

=Body Systems and Nutritional Deficiencies=

Research the major body systems. Post important functions of those body systems. Block 1
Cardiovascular System: Contains heart, blood, and blood vessels. This system circulates blood.

Integumentary System: Contains skin, hair, and nails. This system protects your internal workings from diseases.

Digestive System: Contains mouth, esophagus, stomach, liver, gall bladder, pancreas, small intestine, large intestine, and the rectum. This system allows our bodies to get rid of any unnecessary waste; and to intake nutrients.

Endocrine System: Contains all glands of the body. This allows our bodies to function normally and smoothly.

Excretory System: Contains skin, lungs, liver, kidneys, and the large intestine. This system is related to the digestive system. Anything left over from the digestive system is processed and excreted through this system.

Muscular System: Contains all muscles and tendons. This system allows your body to move and gain strength. Nervous System: Contains the brain, spinal cord, and all nerves of the body. This system helps relay information to your brain to be processed into sensations.

Reproductive System: Male Reproductive System: mainly the testes and the penis. Female Reproductive System includes the ovaries and the uterus. This system allows humans to produce offspring.

Respiratory System: Contains the nose, mouth, larynx, trachea, bronchial tubes, and the lungs. This systems supplies the body with oxygen.

Skeletal System: Contains all bones, joints, ligaments, and tendons. This system supports the body and internal workings. This system also helps the body to move efficiently and smoothly.

Which foods will enhance the functioning of those individual systems? block 2

 * Cardiovascular System- vegtable oil, nuts, avacadoes and whole grains
 * Integumentary System- fresh fruits and vegtables, and foods with essential fatty acids
 * Digestive System- eating raw foods, dairy with probiotics, water and fiber
 * Endocrine System-lean protein, omega oils and herbla supplements
 * Excretory System- water, fiber, spinach, sun dried olives, and fruits and vegatables
 * Muscular System-vitamin B, carbs-bread, flower, pasta,cereal, and poultry
 * Reproductive System-calcium, dairy, fruits, vegatables, water,vitamin C and zinc
 * Respiratory System-fruits,vegatables,dairy,shellfish,garlic,honey,seeds
 * Skeletal System- Calcium

not consumed on a regular basis? Block 1

 * Cardiovascular System- Anemia, lower immune system, nosebleeds, stress and poor digestion.
 * Integumentary System- Skin rashes, chicken pox/shingles, and psoriosis.
 * Digestive System- Constipation, indigestion, diahrrea, and issues with absorbing food.
 * Endocrine System- Over active glands, excess sweating and hormone imbalances.
 * Excretory System- Skin problems, liver/kidney malfunctions, and lung trouble.
 * Muscular System- Problems with mucle tone, sore/tender leg mucles, and anemia.
 * Reproductive System- Weaker immune system, bleeding gums and muscular degeneration.
 * Respiratory System- Appetite loss, weakness in extremities, eye disorders and confusion.
 * Skeletal System- Brittle fingernails, osteoporosis, rickets, and tooth decay.

What are the long term effects of the lack of these nutrients on the body systems Block: 2

 * Cardiovascular System- clotted arteries, and it effects your breathing and your physical activities.
 * Integumentary System- Hair and nails become brittle and can break.
 * Digestive System- Issues with absorbing food
 * Endocrine System- Brain loss (mental retardation) and hormonal imbalences.
 * Excretory System- Lung trouble and infections, reduction of weight
 * Muscular System- anemia, problems with building and sustaining muscle tone.
 * Reproductive System- Infertility
 * Respiratory System- eye disorders and confusion
 * Skeletal System- Osteoporosis and rickets
