What we have learnt
- The circulatory system is crucial for transporting blood and nutrients, consisting of the heart, blood vessels, and blood.
- The excretory system removes waste products and maintains fluid balance through organs like the kidneys and bladder.
- The nervous system transmits signals throughout the body, coordinating responses to stimuli via specialized cells called neurons.
Key Concepts
- -- Circulatory System
- A system that includes the heart, blood vessels, and blood, responsible for the transport of nutrients, gases, and waste.
- -- Excretory System
- The system tasked with the removal of waste from the body, involving organs such as the kidneys, ureters, and bladder.
- -- Nervous System
- A system responsible for signal transmission throughout the body, coordinating movement and responses to internal and external stimuli.
- -- Endocrine System
- A system that regulates bodily functions through hormone secretion from various glands, including the adrenal and pituitary glands.
- -- Reproductive System
- The system responsible for producing offspring, consisting of various organs that facilitate fertilization and development.
