Title: Introduction to cells , system and homeostasis.

In the morning section we learnt  about cells, system and homeostasis and the several cavities of the human body which contain the organs  known as the dorsal cranial and vertebral and ventral which is the thoracic, abdominal, pelvic.

We also discussed  about Homeostasis , which is the balancing of all the system in our body to be able  to function well as survive.

We went further to discuss the abdomen which can be divided into 4 sections ,consisting of the right upper ,right lower, left upper and the lift lower region, further more we learnt about the level of organism in the human body which are the , Chemical level ( Electrolytes) this is very important for the body to function well as they conduct electricity which helps the muscle and nerve to function well. It also helps to resist pH changes in the body and also  help to keep body fluid where they are to be.

we went on to learn about cell membrane and transport, in which we went on to discussed passive transport ( no energy)  under which we have Osmosis and diffusion .  We had an example to to describe what diffusion is and this was compare with a dry lettuce put into a bowl of water that helps it bounce back to life.

We also went on to discussed about tissues in the human body and under this topic we talked about the various times of tissues in the human body

1.Epithelial or epithelium – found covering the body and lining hollow organs and tubes. It protects underlying structures from drying out, can excrete e.g. mucus membranes or can absorb.

2.Connective – found in all organs; functions are binding (e.g. ligaments binding bones), support, protection, transport and insulation. Blood is a fluid connective tissue which are large numbers of cells , classified by size , function and shape.

we also discuss about the 4 main types of tissues which are Nervous tissue ,  Muscle tissue, Connective tissue and the Epithelial tissue.

WE spoke about the organ which is part of the body that consist of different tissues .

We also discussed the 5 essential for human to survive , which is water, normal body temperature, nutrients, oxygen and normal pressure
