The Human Body
People To See Things To Do Teacher Resources | Bibliography
The human body is more than just bones and muscles. Each human body is built up from 12 major systems that govern all bodily functions from breathing to digesting.
By exploring the human body, doctors and researchers can better determine how to treat and prevent sickness, injury, and disease.

Anatomy Online
An excellent resource for information on the human body. The web site is organized into 10 body systems and has some great animations and clear explanations.

People To SeeAll About Sweat
Talk with scientists who are exploring new ways to study the human body. A process called chromatography breaks down chemical mixtures into their different ingredients. Since sweat is chemical mixture, scientists are busy learning about human perspiration. Humans can actually produce up to 3.2 quarts of sweat in one day!

What It's Like to be Color Blind
See the people who developed the test for color blindness. Red-green color blindness is an inherited condition; the gene that controls the ability to see different colors is located on the X chromosome.

Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen
Meet Wilhelm Roentgen. He was a German scientist who discovered X-rays. X-rays pass through soft body tissue but have difficulty passing through hard parts such as bones. So exposing the human body to X-rays produces an image of the bones inside.

Yawning...And Why Yawns Are Contagious
One reason that we yawn is because we need more oxygen. When we are in a pattern of taking too many shallow breaths, there is insufficient airflow to our lungs. This causes an increase in the level of carbon dioxide in the blood which is normally expelled by expiration, or breathing out. All of these factors can contribute to the urge to yawn which will provide us with more oxygen and help us blow our excess carbon dioxide.

Your Teeth
Pay a visit to a dentist to explore the value of teeth. Our teeth are the hardest parts of our bodies---harder than our bones. Chewing food with our teeth begins the digestive process. Learn all about incisors, canines, and molars and how to keep these important parts of the human body clean and free from plaque, tartar, and cavities.

How the Human Eye Works
Learn all about tears and figure out why your nose runs when you cry. These tears flow out along tiny ducts to the outer top part of the eyelid, and then they wash over the eye’s surface with each blink. Used tears drain away through two tiny holes near the inner corner of the eyelids, flow along tear ducts, and end up in a small chamber in the nose. This is why crying also makes our noses run.
