Books in Womders of the Human Body series

Teacher Guide for the 36-week, 7th-8th grade science course! The vital resource for grading all assignments from the Introduction to Anatomy & Physiology course, which includes: Instruction on the cardiovascular, respiratory, and musculoskeletal systems, from the level of the cell to the organs themselves, and God’s masterful wisdom in His creation. Assessments including worksheets, quizzes, and tests are given at regular intervals with space to record each grade. OVERVIEW: In this dynamic Introduction to Anatomy & Physiology course, students will not only begin to grasp the intricate workings of their bodies, but learn also of the wonders of the human body, designed by our Creator and loving Father. Nothing else in the universe is quite like it. The body is delicate yet powerful; incredibly complex but at times amazingly simple. Students will explore the structure, function, and regulation of the body in detail. Throughout the two volumes studied over the course of the year, students will learn things to do to keep the body healthy, though in a fallen, cursed world things are bound to go wrong. The human body is built from many kinds of cells and tissues, and students will learn how they work. We will look at what happens when disease or injury affects bones and muscles. Although the world insists that our bodies are merely the result of time and chance, as students examine the human body closely, they will see that it cannot be an accident. It can only be the product of a Master Designer. FEATURES: The calendar provides 5 lessons weekly with clear objectives, and the worksheets, quizzes, and tests are all based on the readings from the two books.

Only a Master Designer, the creator God of the universe, could be responsible for the complexity in you! Wonders of the Human Body is an exploration of the awe-inspiring creation that is the human body. Nothing else in the universe is quite like it! Your body is delicate yet powerful; incredibly complex but at times amazingly simple. We will explore the structure, function, and regulation of the body in detail. The Musculoskeletal System, the first volume of Wonders of the Human Body, opens with the building blocks of your body - the cells. Your body is built from many kinds of cells and tissues, and you will learn how they work. Even the bones and muscles that give you strength and speed depend on many types of cells. This book will: Show you the ins and outs of the bones in your skeleton and how they function Give detail as to how your marvelous muscles move you Provide a detailed glossary in the back for quick reference! Throughout the book you will learn things to do to keep your body healthy. But in a fallen, cursed world things are bound to go wrong. We will look at what happens when disease or injury affects bones and muscles.

There is absolutely no possibility that you were simply the process of random chance! In Volume 2 of the Wonders of the Human Body series, Dr. Tommy Mitchell covers the intricate design of both the cardiovascular system, consisting of the blood, blood vessels, and heart, as well as the respiratory system that focuses on the transportation of oxygen through the body. From the level of the cells to the organs themselves, you will examine these systems in depth. In the Cardiovascular & Respiratory Systems, prepare to discover the incredible design of the human heart, including How blood moves through an incredible network of arteries and veins What “blood pressure” is and the marvelous systems that help regulate it How the respiratory system allows us to get the “bad air out” and the “good air in!” Along the way, you will see what happens when things go wrong, but we made sure that you’ll find suggestions to help keep your heart and lungs healthy. Although the world insists that our bodies are merely the result of time and chance, as you examine your human body closely, you will see that it cannot be an accident. You can only be the living creation of our Master Designer!

It's time to learn about God's wondrous design of your digestive system and metabolism! The fourth volume of the Wonders of the Human Body series dives deep into why our bodies need energy and how we get it. As with all our explorations into the complexity of the human body, when you see the incredible design of the digestive system, you ultimately have to ask yourself, "Can this all possibly be an accident? Something that happened by chance?" The answer is a resounding, "No!" We are not the product of evolution. We are not animals. We are a special creation. In Digestive System & Metabolism, you will learn about: The digestive system - including the teeth and tongue, the mouth and esophagus, the stomach and intestines, the liver, the gallbladder, and the pancreas Our metabolism - a complex system created by God to transform food into fuel for our energy God our Designer thought of everything, even the problems that would occur in a sin-cursed world. We are indeed wonderfully made. Prepare to be amazed!

Come explore this in-depth examination of the body’s master control mechanism, the nervous system! The third volume of the Wonders of the Human Body series is the next step in our journey though the most amazing thing in the universe, the human body. Our nervous system must process vast amounts of information each second, information that comes from all parts of the body. Then nerve signals are sent out in response to those inputs. If this sounds simple, rest assured, it is not. It is all quite extraordinary! But as with all things in our fallen cursed world, things do go wrong. We will also explore the problems that occur when the nervous system is damaged by disease or injury. In The Nervous System, you will learn about: How nerve signals are generated throughout the body How these nerve signals are transmitted to and from the brain The structure of the brain and how it processes input from the body Our senses: sight, hearing, taste, and more When you see the incredible complexity of the nervous system, you will realize that our bodies cannot be the result of chemical accidents occurring over millions of years. The human body is the greatest creation of an all-knowing Master Designer!

The digestive system takes the food we put into our mouths and breaks it down into the most elemental parts. Our bodies use these nutrients to fuel life processes. The digestive system also eliminates waste products from our bodies. Readers will view this system through illustrative diagrams. They will also learn about nutrition and the importance of maintaining a healthy digestive system.
