The Human Body is amazing! Consider this: It's the only thing you have with you 24 hours a day seven days a week! Every minute of every day your body is with you! It's your choice how you take care of it. Your parents will not be with you every minute of your life. Will you eat junk food? Will you wear a helmet? Will you be a smoker?
Your choices will affect your life!
The human body is complex and interesting. It never gets boring to learn about. In fact it gets more interesting.
Everything in the body starts with a cell. Think about it like this. If you were building a Lego Project like a Ferris wheel or race car your goal is to build the design. However you need blocks. There are all different colors. The blocks all come in different sizes. The pieces fit together. It's kind of the same for the body. We have cells. Those are our building blocks.
In the body section you will learn about the different systems of the body. A system contains body pieces that together perform a specific function. For example: Digestion takes food and makes it into fuel. The Skeletal System protects us, helps us move and supports the body. The Nervous System sends messages. The Circulatory System pumps the blood. Fascinating!! Have fun checking out all the links!
