Introduction to Body Systems

In this unit, you will study four body systems:

Musculoskeletal System
Cardiorespitory System
Biomechanics
4Energy Systems

The following links provide an overview and starting point:

Human Body
Quick and easy interactive informational models by DK FindOut!Head to: Heart and Blood / Lungs and Breathing / Muscles / Skeletons and Bones. Test your knowledge by taking the Quiz up in the top RH corner.
Study Jams!: Science
Step through this slide show and learn key vocabulary as you go.
The Body in Motion
You will need to sign in to ClickView for this. The human body is always on the move. Whether we are jumping, running or sitting still; blood is pumping, muscles are contracting, and joints are moving. The body's internal systems perform complex processes every second of every day, so we can spend our time doing whatever we need to.

2 Cardiorespiratory System

Video: The Heart, Part 1 - Crash Course
Produced: 2015 Duration: 10:07 min
Learn about how the heart’s ventricles, atria, and valves create a pump that maintains both high and low pressure to circulate blood from the heart to the body through your arteries, and bring it back to the heart through your veins. You'll also learn what your blood pressure measurements mean when we talk about systolic and diastolic blood pressure.

Blood vessels such as arteries, veins and capillaries are discussed in this video.

Blood Flow Through The Heart - Khan Academy
This video will help you to understand how blood travels through the heart and around the body.
Produced: 2012 Duration: 7:50min
Video: How breathing works: The Journey of Oxygen Through Your Lungs
Use this video to understand the mechanics of breathing.
Produced: 2018 Duration: 1:59min
Video: Gas Exchange in Lungs
Produced: 2014 Duration: 1:49min
This animation video explains physiology of how oxygen and CO2 are exchanged in the lungs.

3 Energy System

This video provides an insight into each of the three energy systems:aerobic; anaerobis and ATP-CP.

Duration: 4:47 min Produced: 2017

Video: Fuel Sources for ATP Synthesis
This video explains the different food sources used for fuel by each energy system.
Produced: 2020 Duration: 10:20min

Video: VCE PE - Energy System Characteristics
Produced: 2020 Duration: 9:34 min
This video provides a basic introduction to the characteristics of the three energy systems.
VCE PE - Energy System Interplay
Produced: 2020 Duration: 5:22 min
This video discusses the differences in the contributions from each energy system in a short maximal intensity effort and a short sub-maximal effort.
