http://www.killgrove.org/ANT210/skeleton_withparts.gif5th grade science book There are four basic types of bones: your long, short, flat, and irregular. The long bones are the ones in your arms and your legs. They are narrow and have large ends. These bones support your body. The short bones, which are in your wrists and ankles, are chunky and wide. They allow you maximum movement around a joint. Flat bones are like the ones in your skull and ribs. They help protect your body. The last kind of bones are the irregular bones, like your vertebrae. They have unique shapes that fall outside of the other categories. The skeletal system gives your body its shape. Without your bones, you would not be able to stand upright. It also provides protection for your lungs, heart, and brain. The average adult human has about 206 bones because you may have been born with more or less toes or fingers etc. Human bones are made up of calcium which is why it is important to keep calcium in your diet. It is important so that you can keep your bones nice and healthy. Drink milk to keep your bones strong!

Say NO to smoking! The respiratory system allows gas exchange through the entire body. The human respiratory system includes airways, lungs, and the respiratory systems muscles. In other animals like insects, their respiratory system has very simple features. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Respiratory_system The respiratory systems job is to transport oxygen into your bloodstream and removes carbon dioxide. It begins with your mouth or nose. The oxygen from the air you breath goes to the lungs were it is transferred to your blood. When you exhale, the carbon dioxide leaves your lungs.The Heart

http://www.biomaterials.org/SIGS/Cardiovascular/images/cv_anatomy_heart.jpg

Your heart is the most important muscle in your body. Its job is to pump blood throughout the body. It is divided into four chambers. The first chamber receives non oxygenated blood from your body and pumps it to the second chamber. The second chamber pumps the blood to the lungs were it receives oxygen. It returns to the third chamber were it is pumped into the fourth. The fourth chamber, the strongest chamber, pumps it into your arteries which transports it throughout your body. Your heart is a muscle and it pumps blood all throughout your body. If you are a child it pumps blood about 90 times a minute and if you are an adult it does that about 70 times. There are two sides to your heart . The left side gets blood from your lungs and pumps it all around your body. The right side gets the blood after it has been all around your body and then it sends it back to your lungs for some more oxygen.
