Body Systems

BIBLE:
I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made(Psalms 139:14)
"Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting, get understanding." (Prov. 4:7)

REGARDING ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY:
"This living machinery is to be understood. Every part of its wonderful mechanism is to be carefully studied...{7MR
324.2}
"The study of anatomy, the form and structure of the body; of physiology, the use and functions of the various organs;
and of hygiene, the laws that underlie their healthful activities, is pursued from a Biblical and scientific point of view.
{RH, October 11, 1898 par. 12}
"So closely is health related to our happiness that we cannot have the latter without the former. A practical knowledge
of the science of human life is necessary in order to glorify God in our bodies. It is therefore of the highest importance,
that among the studies selected for childhood, physiology should occupy the first place. How few know anything about
the structure and functions of their own bodies, and of nature's laws! Many are drifting about without knowledge, like a
ship at sea without compass or anchor; and what is more, they are not interested to learn how to keep their bodies in a
healthy condition and prevent disease.(CH 38.1)
"my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge..." (Hosea 4:6)
"the health should be as faithfully guarded as the character. A knowledge of physiology and hygiene should be the
basis of all educational effort." {CG 360.4}
"In the study of physiology, pupils should be led to see the value of physical energy and how it can be so preserved and
developed as to contribute in the highest degree to success in life's great struggle." {CG 343.2}
"The student of physiology should be taught that the object of his study is not merely to gain a knowledge of facts and
principles. This alone will prove of little benefit....The great requisite in teaching these principles is to impress the pupil
with their importance, so that he will conscientiously put them in practice. {CG 362.4}
"In giving your children lessons in physiology, and teaching them how to cook with simplicity and yet with skill, you are
laying the foundation for the most useful branches of education..." {CG 374.2}
"Parents should seek to awaken in their children an interest in the study of physiology. Youth need to be instructed in
regard to their own bodies. There are but few among the young who have any definite knowledge of the mysteries of
life. The study of the wonderful human organism, the relation and dependence of all its complicated parts, is one in
which most mothers take little if any interest. They do not understand the influence of the body upon the mind, or of
the mind upon the body. They occupy themselves with needless trifles, and then plead that they have no time to obtain
the information which they need in order to care properly for the health of their children. It is less trouble to trust them
to the doctors. Thousands of children die through ignorance of the laws of their being.{CTBH 70.3}
"Our ministers should become intelligent on health reform. They need to become acquainted with physiology and
hygiene; they should understand the laws that govern physical life, and their bearing upon the health of mind and soul.
Thousands upon thousands know little of the wonderful body God has given them or of the care it should receive; and
they consider it of more importance to study subjects of far less consequence. The ministers have a work to do here.

When they take a right position on this subject, much will be gained. In their own lives and homes they should obey the
laws of life, practicing right principles and living healthfully. Then they will be able to speak correctly on this subject,
leading the people higher and still higher in the work of reform. Living in the light themselves, they can bear a message
of great value to those who are in need of just such a testimony. {CD 452.1.2}
"The importance of caring for the health should be taught as a Bible requirement. Perfect obedience to God's
commands calls for conformity to the laws of the being. The science of education includes as full a knowledge of
physiology as can be obtained. No one can properly understand his obligations to God unless he understands clearly his
obligations to himself as God's property. He who remains in sinful ignorance of the laws of life and health, or who
willfully violates these laws, sins against God." {CT 295.1}
"All should have an intelligent knowledge of the human frame that they may keep their bodies in the condition
necessary to do the work of the Lord. The physical life is to be carefully preserved and developed that through humanity
the divine nature may be revealed in its fullness. The relation of the physical organism to the spiritual life is one of the
most important branches of education. It should receive careful attention in the home and in the school. All need to
become acquainted with their physical structure and the laws that control natural life. He who remains in willing
ignorance of the laws of his physical being and who violates them through ignorance is sinning against God{COL348.1}
"Know ye not," says the apostle Paul, "that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of
God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price; therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit,
which are God's." 1 Corinthians 6:19, 20. {COL 348.2} (1 Corinthians 10:31/Revelation 14:67)
We are to love God, not only with all the heart, mind, and soul, but with all the strength. This covers the full, intelligent
use of the physical powers." {COL 348.3}
"the people of God must know themselves. They must understand in regard to their own physical frames, that they
may be able with the psalmist to exclaim, "I will praise Thee, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made..."{CD 33.1}

THE BODY IS COMPOSED OF:

Cells
Tissues
Organs
Systems
Human Body

Q: What is a Cell?
A: The cell is the basic structural and functional unit of all known living organisms. It is the smallest unit of life that is
classified as a living thing, and is often called the building block of life (from Wikipedia).

FIVE NEEDS OF THE CELL

#1. Oxygen (Without Oxygen, cells die in about three minutes)
#2. Water (Without water, cells would die in a few days)
#3. Nutrients (Without nutrients, cells would die in several weeks)

#4. Waste Elimination (Without adequate elimination, the cells die within hours)
Elimination takes place through the SKIN, LUNGS, KIDNEYS, RECTUM/ANUS
#5. All Poisons are to be kept out(this includes additives, preservatives, artificial food coloring, HFCS, Agave,
artificial sweeteners, everything with MSG, including the 25 names of hidden MSG, vinegar, pepper, spices,
sugar, condiments, coffee, tea, tobacco, all forms of alcohol, medication, etc.)

Like Cells make like Tissues.

THERE ARE 4 TYPES OF TISSUE IN THE BODY:
1. Connective tissue Connective tissue holds other tissues together such as in the formation of organs, and has the
ability to stretch and contract passively
2. Muscle tissue Muscle tissue functions to produce force and cause motion, either locomotion or movement within
internal organs.
3. Nervous tissue Cells comprising the central nervous system and peripheral nervous system are classified as neural
tissue. In the central nervous system, neural tissue forms the brain and spinal cord and, in the peripheral nervous
system forms the cranial nerves and spinal nerves.
4. Epithelial tissue The cells comprising an epithelial layer are linked via semipermeable, tight junctions; hence, this
tissue provides a barrier between the external environment and the organ it covers. Epithelial tissue helps to protect
organisms from microorganisms, injury, and fluid loss (taken from UK answers yahoo).
These like Tissue make Like Organs:
Examples of these would be the Brain, Heart, Lungs, Liver, Colon, etc.

Like Organs make the Systems of the Body.

THERE ARE 11 SYSTEMS OF THE BODY:
I usually give these in alphabetical order, but the way I will be giving them is according to an ACRONYM
My Sister Rachel Is Extremely Nervous Cuz Uncle Donny Recently Left(town)
M is for MUSCULAR System
S is for SKELETAL System
R is for RESPIRATORY System
I is for INTEGUMENTARY System
E is for ENDOCRINE System
N is for NERVOUS System
C is for CARDIOVASCULAR/CIRCULATORY System
U is for URINARY System
D is for DIGESTIVE System
R is for REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM
L is for LYMPHATIC SYSTEM aka IMMUNE SYSTEM

The MUSCULAR SYSTEM includes the Muscles & Tendons

The SKELETAL SYSTEM includes the Bones, Cartilage, & Ligaments
The RESPIRATORY SYSTEM includes the Nose, Pharynx, Larynx, Lungs, Pleura, Bronchii, & Alveoli
The INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM includes the Skin, Hair, & Nails
The ENDOCRINE SYSTEM AKA the GLANDULAR SYSTEM or HORMONAL SYSTEM includes the Glands of the
Body, such as the Pineal Gland, Thyroid Gland, Adrenal Glands, etc.
The NERVOUS SYSTEM includes the Brain, Nerves, and Spinal Column
- The nervous system is divided into two main systems,
#1: the central nervous system (CNS):

- The spinal cord and the brain make up the CNS. Its main job is to get the information from the body
and send out instructions.
#2: the peripheral nervous system:
-The peripheral nervous system is made up of all of the nerves and the wiring. This system sends the
messages from the brain to the rest of the body.
The CARDIOVASCULAR/CIRCULATORY SYSTEM includes the Heart, Arteries, Veins, Capillaries, and Blood
The URINARY SYSTEM includes the Kidneys, Ureters, Bladder, & Urethra
The DIGESTIVE SYSTEM/GASTROINTESTINAL (GI) SYSTEM includes the Mouth, Esophagus, Stomach, Small &
Large Intestines, Appendix, Rectum, Anus, Liver, & Gall Bladder
The REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM includes the male and female organs that are included for reproduction.
The LYMPHATIC/IMMUNE SYSTEM includes the Lymph Nodes, Lymph Vessels, Spleen, White Blood Cells,
TCells, etc.

***There are 206 Bones in the Body and 600+ Muscles.

***The mineral that is mostly for the bones is CALCIUM (Ca)
while
MAGNESIUM IS FOR THE MUSCLES.
Magnesium (Mg) is nature's #1 muscle relaxer.
NEVER, NEVER, NEVER SHOULD YOU TAKE A SUPPLEMENT WHERE THE RATIO OF CALCIUM IS MORE THAN
THE RATIO OF MAGNESIUM.
There are more muscles in the body than there are bones, therefore, more magnesium than calcium is
required for health. Otherwise, you could have clogged arteries or blood clots.
