Here are some pictures of the lapbook about “The Human Body Systems” and the information that appears in each organ:

Brain	Its like a computer of our body. It controls everything we do. Sometimes this is involuntary and other times are voluntary.
Nerves	Nerves carry messages from the brain to the locomotor system
Spinal Cord	Its made up of nerves. It encloses the ventral canal of the spinal cord. The brain and the spinal cord make up the central nervous system.
Skull	It protects the brain
Ribs	They protect the lungs and the heart
Muscles	Work with bones and joints together
Joints	They allow our body to bend and move
Bones	Protect important organs
Mouth	Food is broken up by the teeth and mixed with saliva by the tongue
Esophagus	Food goes down this tube the stomach
Stomach	Gastric juices wake the food into a thick liquid
Small Intestines	There are lots of blood vessels. Nutrients pass into the blood there.
Large Intestine	The waste passes through here. Water goes out into the body and the waste becomes harder.
Anus	The waste (faeces), leaves the body
Kidneys	When the blood goes through here. Excess water and waste products are dropped off and made into urine
Ureters	The urine goes down these tubes to the bladder
Urethra	The urine leaves the body through this tube
Bladder	The urine is stored here. When its full it sends a message to our brain.
Veins	Blood vessels that return blood to the heart from the rest of the body
Heart	It’s a hollow muscle. It pumps blood around the body
Arteries	Blood vessels that carry blood from the heart to the rest of our body
Nostrils	The nose has two nostrils. These have lots of little hairs and are narrow at the back. This is to stop foreign objects.
Trachea	It divides into two tubes that go into the lungs. These tubes are called bronchi.
Lungs	They are big sacks. They fill up almost all your chest. They are squidgy. They are made up of lots of little bugs called “alveoli” surrounded by blood capillaries. The air goes into the alveoli’s.
Ovaries	They produce the egg cells
Fallopian Tubes	They transport male sperm cells to the egg. They transport the egg from the ovary.
Uterus	Its main function is to nourish the developing fetus prior to birth.
Vagina	It’s a muscular tube leading from the external genitals to the uterus
Testicles	They produce sperm in men
Urethra	It conveys semen
