Chapter 10: The Human Body
Learning Outcome: 
10.1 Describe and identify primary structures and functions of major human body systems.
1. The Digestive System
- Structure and Function 
- Food and Nutrition 
2. The Skeletal- Muscular System
- Bones: Structure and Function 
- Muscles- Structure and Function  
3. The Respiratory System
- The Diaphragm, Windpipe, and Lungs: Structure and Function 
- Oxygen Transport
4. The Nervous System
- Nerves: Structure and Function 
- The Senses 
5. The Excretory System
- The Kidneys: Structure and Function
- The Skin and Lungs: Function 
The Liver and Intestines: Functions 
6. The Circulatory System
- The Heart and Blood Vessels: Structure and Function
- Blood
7. The Reproductive System
- Structure and Function 
- Reproduction and Heredity

It is worth noting that the theme of energy transfer is present in all life support systems. Food is converted into energy or cell-building material by the digestive system. The skeletal-muscular system coverts energy into mechanical energy, which gives the body its shape and structure as well as the ability to move. The respiratory system provides the oxygen required for the conversion of food energy as well as the elimination of carbon dioxide. The nervous system receives stimuli and transports them to the brain, where they are then transmitted to various parts of the body via electrical energy via nerve impulses. The excretory system eliminates energy byproducts such as gaseous, liquid, and solid wastes from the body. The circulatory system transports a variety of substances that supply stored energy and building materials throughout the body. The reproductive system expends energy in order to ensure to survival of the species. 
That is all for today!

Pearson.   Chapter 7: Earth and Space Science  Learning Objectives:  7.1 Describe ways the geosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and/or atmosphere interact to affect the Earth's materials and processes 7.2 Describe how plate tectonics explains the development and ongoing changes of the Earth's surface 7.3 Explain how solar energy, convection currents, and density influence ocean currents  7.4 Explain how the effects of weathering or the rate of erosion by water, ice, wind, or vegetation contribute to the recycling of Earth materials The Earth can be understood as a complex web of interconnected systems, all of which are powered by solar energy. The atmosphere is made up of a thin layer of gases. The geosphere is made up of water and land. The biosphere is made up of all living things o...
