SECTION 1B: HUMAN BIOLOGY – THE SKELETAL/MUSCULAR SYSTEM, THE SENSES AND HUMAN REPRODUCTION
Our basic body shape is formed by our skeleton, which is made up of over two hundred bones. The skeleton provides support and protection for the body and the arrangement of the bones, together with the associated ligaments and muscles, allows for movement. Our senses enable us to be aware of, and respond to, our immediate surroundings.
The human species is continued through the process of sexual reproduction. The reproductive system develops to maturity during adolescence, and males and females have different roles in reproduction. Children inherit many characteristics from their parents.
