The main idea is what the text is mostly about.
Details are pieces of information about the main idea.
Look for examples of different kinds of cells and
details about how they are alike and different.
8Zaah
Each of the living things you see every day is made of cells.
A cell is the basic unit of structure and function of all living
things. Most animals and plants are made up of huge numbers
of cells. Almost all cells are microscopic. They can be seen
only with a microscope.

Every cell has tiny parts called organelles. These keep the
cell alive and working. For example, every cell is covered by a
cell membrane. This organelle protects the cell and keeps its
contents together.
Most cells have a nucleus that controls the cells activities.
Other organelles are suspended in the cells cytoplasm.

To compare and contrast is to show how things are
alike and different.
Look for ways that tissues, organs, and organ systems
are alike and different.

Each cell in your body is able to carry out its own function.
But your bodys cells also work together. Cells that work
together to perform a certain function form a tissue. There are
four kinds of tissue in your body.
Your skin is made of epithelial (espuhsTHEEsleesuhl) tissue.

Cells work together to form tissue, and tissues work together
to form organs. An organ is several kinds of tissue working
together for the same function.
Your heart is an organ. It pumps blood to all parts of your
body. The heart is made mostly of muscle and connective
tissue. Nervous tissue carries signals from the brain to the
heart to keep it beating.

The lungs are organs, too. They are made of several tissues.
The tissues work together to take oxygen from the air and
move it into the blood.

Organs that work together to do a job for the body are
called an organ system. There are ten major organ systems in
your body. Systems work together to keep your body alive and
healthy.

The digestive system takes nutrients from the food that you
eat. The cells of the body use the nutrients for energy, growth,
and repair.
Digestion starts in the mouth. Food is broken down into
smaller pieces as you chew. Glands in your mouth produce
saliva. Chemicals in the saliva begin breaking down some food.
From the mouth, the food travels into the stomach. Acid and
other chemicals in the stomach break down food.

To sequence is to put things in the order in which

Look for ways to sequence the processes that occur in
the systems of the body.

The circulatory system is
made up of the heart, blood,
arteries, capillaries, and veins.
The heart gets blood from the
lungs. It pumps it to the body.
At the same time, it gets
blood from the body. It
pumps it to the lungs.
Blood leaves the heart
through arteries. Arteries
lead to small blood vessels
called capillaries. Capillaries
connect to veins. Veins return
the blood to the heart.
Red blood cells carry oxygen
to all of the bodys cells.

The respiratory system exchanges oxygen and carbon
dioxide between your body and the air.
The body gets the oxygen it needs when you breathe.
The air travels down the trachea, or windpipe. In your chest,
the trachea branches into two large tubes. These lead to the
lungs.
In the lungs, the tubes branch into smaller tubes. At the
ends of these tubes are tiny air sacs called alveoli. These are
surrounded by capillaries.
In the alveoli, oxygen in the
lungs is exchanged for carbon
dioxide in the blood. The
blood carries the oxygen to all
igVX]ZV
the cells of the body. Carbon
dioxide is exhaled.

Your skeletal system gives your body structure. It also
protects many of your organs.
The skeletal system includes bones, cartilage, and ligaments.
Cartilage is spongy connective tissue. It cushions the ends of
many bones.
An adults skeleton is made up
of 206 bones. Ligaments are bands
of connective tissue that hold the
bones together.
Blood cells are made inside
the largest bones. The blood cells
pass from these bones into the
circulatory system.

Your muscular system is made up of three kinds of muscles.
The muscles that work with your skeleton to move your body
are called skeletal muscles.
Skeletal muscles work in pairs. One muscle contracts to
bend a joint. The other muscle contracts to straighten it.

Your nervous system helps you sense your environment
and react to it. It directs the activities of other body systems. It
also connects all organs to your brain.
The nervous system has two parts. The central nervous
system is made up of the spinal cord and brain. It receives
and interprets signals from nerves throughout the body.
The peripheral nervous system
is made up of your sense organs.
Sensory organs contain special
nerves called receptors. Receptors
send signals to the central nervous
system about your surroundings.

The excretory system removes
liquid wastes from your body.
The kidneys filter wastes out of
the blood, forming urine. The
urine flows into the bladder.
When the bladder is full, urine is
eliminated from the body.
