3、tems,thatis,theskeletalsystem,themuscularsystem,thecirculatorysystem,therespiratorysystem,thedigestivesystem,theurinarysystem,theendocrinesystem,thenervoussystem,thereproductivesystemandtheskin.Theprincipalpartsofeachofthesesystemsaredescribedinthisarticle.解剖学家发现把整个人体分成骨骼、肌肉、循环、呼吸、消化、泌尿、内分泌、神经、生殖系统以

4、及感觉器官的做法是很有帮助的。本文描绘并阐述了各系统的主要部分。Theskeletalsystemismadeofbones,jointsbetweenbones,andcartilage.Itsfunctionistoprovidesupportandprotectionforthesofttissuesandtheorgansofthebodyandtoprovidepointsofattachmentforthemusclesthatmovethebody.Thereare206bonesinthehumanskeleton.Theyhavevariousshapes-long,shor

5、t,cube-shaped,flat,andirregular.Manyofthelongboneshaveaninteriorspacethatisfilledwithbonemarrow,wherebloodcellsaremade.骨骼系统由骨、关节以及软骨组成。它对软组织及人体器官起到支持和保护作用，并牵动骨胳肌，引起各种运动。人体有206根骨头。骨形态不一，有长的、短、立方的、扁的及不规则的。许多长骨里有一个内层间隙，里面充填着骨髓，这即是血细胞的制造场所。Ajointiswherebonesarejoinedtogether.Theconnectioncanbesoclosetha

7、erbone,astheydointheshoulderandhipjoints.关节把骨与骨连接起来。颅骨不能运动，是由于骨与骨之间的连接太紧密。但其它的关节可允许活动，如一个平面上的前后屈伸运动，如肘关节；或是绕轴心旋转运动，如枢轴点允许头部转动。如果一根骨的球形末端插入另一根骨的臼槽里，大辐度的运动（如肩关节、髋关节）即成为可能。Cartilageisamoreflexiblematerialthanbone.Itservesasaprotective,cushioninglayerwherebonescometogether.Italsoconnectstheribstothebrea

11、这也就使整个人体可以运动起来，如走路，运动躯体某个部位，如弯曲手指。心脏收缩和平滑肌收缩就不是被意识所控制的。器官壁内层的平滑肌，如胃肠壁的平滑肌把胃肠中的物质运送到全身。Thecirculatorysystem.Allpartsofthebodymusthavenourishmentandoxygeninordertofunctionandgrow,andtheirwasteproductsmustberemovedbeforetheyaccumulateandpoisonthebody.Thecirculatorysystemdistributesneededmaterialsandrem

13、是循环系统的组成之一；心血管系统包括心脏、血管及血液。血液也是机体防御系统的一个部分，血液中有抗体及白细胞来防止机体受到外来的侵袭。Theheartisamusclethatisdividedintotwonearlyidenticalhalves:onehalfreceivesbloodfromthelungsandsendsittotherestofthebody,theotherhalfsendsbloodthathastraveledthroughthebodybacktothelungs.Whentheheartmusclecontracts,thebloodisforcedouti

14、ntoarteriesandenterssmallcapillaries.Bloodreturnstotheheartthroughveins.心脏是一块被分为几乎对等两半的肌肉。一半吸收来自肺部的血液，并将血液运送到机体的其余部位，另一半使流经全身的血液回流人肺。心脏收缩时，动脉把全身血液输送到毛细血管。静脉输送血液返回心脏。Alsofunctioningincirculationisthelymphaticsystem.Someofthefluidthatsurroundscellsdoesnotreenterthebloodvesselsdirectly.Thisfluid,called

18、enin,movedthroughthebody,andbrokendownintosmallmoleculesthatareabsorbedintothecirculatorysystem.Thisbreakdown,knownasdigestion,isbothamechanicalandachemicalprocess.消化系统是一个从口腔直到肛门的管道。食物和液体在消化道里被吸收，在肠道里移动时，被分解成小分子物质后再进入循环系统。这种分解，即消化，是一个机械过程，也是一个化学过程。Foodentersthroughthemouth,wherechewingandsalivastart

20、物，而当酸和酶分泌入胃腔时，化学性消化开始。Theliquifiedfoodgraduallypassesintothesmallintestine.Inthefirstpartofthesmallintestine,calledtheduodenum,enzymesfromthepancreasareadded.Theseenzymescompletethechemicalbreakdownofthefood.Thedigestionoffatisaidedbybile,whichismadeintheliverandstoredinthegallbladder.Thesmallintest

42、最小的细胞。不管是细胞大小或形状的不同，每个细胞都有“需要存活的机制”。对每个正常的细胞，有效力的细胞，都存在许多问题，能导致疾病。Thesizeofcellsisusuallymeasuredinmicrons.Amicronisamillionthofameter,andabout25,000micronsequaloneinch.Thesmallestbacteriaareabout0.2micronindiameter.Theaveragecellinthehumanbodyabouttenmicronsindiameterisaspeckbarelyvisiblewithoutthe

43、aidofamicroscope.细胞的大小是以“微米”为长度单位。微米是一米的一百万分之一，25000微米等于一寸。最小的细菌的圆径是0.2微米。人体正常细胞的评价圆径约十微米，肉眼勉强可以看得到，不需要显微镜的帮助。Thestudyofcellsisthebranchofbiologycalledcytology.Thesciencethatdealswithcellsonthesmalleststructuralandfunctionalleveliscalledmolecularbiology.研究关于“细胞”是生物学的分支，成为细胞生物学。在最微小水平针对细胞的结构及功能的研究成为分

45、ontrolcenterofthecell.(seeFigure1-1)所有细胞都是以“原生质”，又称“生命胶质”所形成的。典型细胞的原生质形成了三个重要部分，细胞膜、细胞质和细胞核。细胞膜圈住了细胞的其他结构。大部分的化学反应都在细胞核周围，细胞质完成的。被自己的膜包围的细胞核是细胞的控制中心。thecellsMembrane细胞膜Cellscansurviveonlyinaliquidmediumthatbringsinfoodandcarriesawaywaste.Forone-celledorganismsthisfluidisanexternalbodyofwatertheocean

51、薄但确以很坚固的蛋白磷脂膜形成。磷脂是一种类似于储存的脂肪的蛋白物质。通过电子显微镜，生物学家相信细胞膜有孔，使较小的物质完全可以通过。物质可通过多种方式从细胞膜进入。细胞膜上的结构，称“小穴”，可接受化学信号再传到细胞内。小穴还可能参于细胞蛋白的分配。大的分子可通过“渗滤”进入细胞内，或被细胞膜内体分解，使它们更容易的进入细胞内。有些细胞可通过“胞饮”方式吞饮较大的物质。这个过程是通过细胞膜在大物质形成了“带”把它包围着，将它以泡状的“液泡”引入细胞质，最后包围解散，大物质成功的进入细胞内。Thecytoplasm细胞质Thecytoplasmismainlywater.Itswaterco

54、细胞质显出。而当固体成分浓度减少时，膜状和纤维状的结构就消失。浓度的变化还可以表现细胞质内局部流动的变化。食物分子进入时可见。Mostofthecellsconstantworkofkeepingaliveisperformedinthecytoplasm.Herefoodmoleculesarechangedintothematerialneededforenergyandmaterialsforgrowthorstiffeningofthecellmembranearemanufacturesneededbytherestoftheorganism.Forexample,plantcell

59、在细胞膜内扭绞，终点为细胞核的膜。分布于胞浆网包括细胞质中某处的是核糖体。这些小颗粒是核糖核酸所形成的。蛋白质是在核糖体合成的。高尔基体是膜状囊包堆成层形成的。新合成的蛋白从胞浆网移动到高尔基体储存，为了后来分泌所用。Vacuolesdriftthroughthecytoplasmandusuallycarryfoodmoleculesinsolution.Lysosomesarestructuressomewhatsimilarinappearancetovacuolesbutdenser.Theyappeartohaveadigestivefunction.Eachlysosomeisfi
