WEEK 1 AND WEEK 2

MELC:

·         Explain how the organs of each organ system work together 6LT-IIa-b-1

-Muskulo-skeletal System and The Integumentary System

 



 

1.      STOMACH

/ stuh·muhk/

·         The stomach is a muscular, sac-like organ located in the upper part of the abdomen, between the esophagus and the small intestine. Its primary function is to break down and digest food that has been swallowed, through the secretion of acid and enzymes.

 

2.      INTESTINES

/ in·teh·stnz/

·         The intestines are a part of the digestive system, consisting of the small intestine and the large intestine. The small intestine is a long, narrow tube that is responsible for the majority of nutrient absorption from the food we eat.

 

3.      CARTILAGE

/ kaar·tuh·luhj/

·         Cartilage is a flexible connective tissue found in various parts of the body, such as the nose, ears, joints, and ribcage. It is made up of specialized cells called chondrocytes and a matrix of collagen and proteoglycans.

 

4.      PHALANGES

/ fuh·lan·jeez/

·         Phalanges are the bones that make up the fingers and toes. They are long, slender bones that are connected to the metacarpal bones in the hands and the metatarsal bones in the feet.

 

5.      VERTEBRAE

/ vur·tuh·bray/

·         Vertebrae are the individual bones that make up the spinal column, also known as the backbone. They provide support to the body, protect the spinal cord and nerves, and allow for movement and flexibility of the spine.

 

6.      LIGAMENTS

/ li·guh·muhnts/

·         Ligaments are tough, fibrous bands of connective tissue that connect bones to other bones, providing stability and support to the joints. They are made up of collagen fibers and are found throughout the body, connecting bones in the spine, arms, legs, and other areas.

 

7.      MUSCLES

/ muh·slz/

·         Muscles are specialized tissues in the body that are responsible for movement, stability, and maintaining posture. There are three types of muscles in the body: skeletal, smooth, and cardiac.

 

 

 

 

8.      APPENDICULAR

/ a·puhn·di·kyuh·lr/

·         The appendicular skeleton is the portion of the skeleton that includes the bones of the limbs (arms and legs), as well as the bones that connect them to the axial skeleton (the bones of the skull, spine, and ribcage). The appendicular skeleton also includes the bones of the pectoral girdle (shoulder girdle) and pelvic girdle.

 

9.      SEBACEOUS

/ suh·bay·shuhs/

·         Sebaceous glands are small, oil-producing glands found in the skin of mammals, including humans. They are most commonly found on the face, scalp, chest, and back. Sebaceous glands are responsible for producing sebum, a natural oil that helps to lubricate and protect the skin and hair.

 

10.  INTEGUMENTARY

/in·teg·yuh·men-tuh-ree/

·         The integumentary system is the organ system that includes the skin, hair, nails, and various glands associated with them. Its primary functions are to protect the body from external damage, regulate body temperature, and provide sensory information to the brain.

 

11.  ECCRINE

/ eh·kruhn/

·         Eccrine glands are sweat glands that are found all over the body, but are most numerous on the palms, soles of the feet, and forehead. They are responsible for producing watery sweat, which is composed mostly of water and salt, and helps to regulate body temperature by evaporating on the skin's surface.

 

12.  APOCRINE

/ a·puh·kruhn/

·         Apocrine glands are a type of sweat gland that are primarily found in the armpits and genital region. Unlike eccrine glands, which produce watery sweat, apocrine glands produce a thicker, milky sweat that is rich in proteins and lipids.

 

13.  SQUAMOUS

/ skway·muhs/

·         Squamous cells are a type of flat, scale-like cells that are found in many tissues throughout the body, including the skin, lungs, and lining of the digestive and reproductive systems. They are named for their flat, thin shape, which allows them to easily form a protective barrier.

 

14.  MELANOCYTES

/ muh·la·nuh·sites/

·         Melanocytes are specialized cells found in the skin, hair, and eyes that produce and contain a pigment called melanin. Melanin gives color to the skin, hair, and eyes, and also provides protection against harmful UV radiation from the sun.

 

15.  LYMPH

/ limf/

·         Lymph is a clear, watery fluid that circulates throughout the lymphatic system, which is a network of vessels and organs that work together to remove excess fluid, waste products, and harmful substances from the body.

[Q3] ENERGY TRANSFER

Image
  Exploring the Transformation of Energy: Sound, Heat, Light, and Electricity By: Pj Miana   Introduction: Energy is all around us, and it can take many forms. In this lesson, we'll delve into how different types of energy—sound, heat, light, and electricity—can be transformed from one form to another. Understanding these transformations helps us comprehend the world and the technology we use every day.   1. Sound Energy: Sound energy is produced by vibrations traveling through a medium, such as air, water, or solids. It can be transformed in various ways:   - Mechanical to Sound : When an object vibrates, it creates sound waves. For example, when you pluck a guitar string, the mechanical energy of your hand's motion is transformed into sound energy.   - Sound to Electrical : Microphones transform sound waves into electrical signals. These signals can then be amplified and converted back into sound through speakers.   2. Heat Energy: Heat energy is

SEPARATING MIXTURES (SCIENCE 6 Q1-W4)

Image
SEPARATING MIXTURES BY: PJ MIANA Introduction Understanding and mastering techniques for separating mixtures is not only a fascinating aspect of science but also an essential life skill. In our daily lives, we encounter a multitude of mixtures, from the ingredients in our kitchen to environmental challenges such as pollution and water purification. Learning how to effectively separate mixtures is crucial for solving real-world problems, making informed decisions, and gaining a deeper understanding of the world around us. In this lesson, we will explore various techniques such as picking, winnowing, decantation, the use of magnets, sieving, filtering, and evaporation. These techniques are not only fundamental to scientific inquiry but also find practical applications in industries like agriculture, food processing, environmental science, and more. By grasping these methods, we empower ourselves to tackle complex challenges, conserve resources, and contribute to a cleaner and more sustai
