Now days, video games are an important part of our culture. You see them everywhere you

Video games now have online and networking features.

Online games will evolve and gaming will become a more realistic experience. Players will
enjoy 3D games consoles that have face, voice and gesture-recognizing sensors; and they
will also be able to communicate emotions to in-game characters using built-in facial
recognition tools. Games will be smarter and will automatically recognize regular players
and customize themselves to a player’s favorite game sessions.

long tube.

The respiratory system makes breathing happen. The lungs bring oxygen into the body.

Another important system is the circulatory system. The heart sends blood around the body.
This is an artery, it is red because it carries blood that is full of oxygen. This is a vein; it is blue
because it has carbon dioxide.

4 The Human Body

Your Skeleton

The adult human body has two hundred and six bones. The adult skeleton consists of the following bones:

 Twenty eight skull bones (eight cranial, fourteen facial, and six ear bones.)
 The hyoid bone in the neck is the only bone that does not articulate to another bone.
 Twenty six vertebrae (seven cervical; twelve thoracic; five lumbar; the scrum, which is one single
bone made of five fused vertebrae; and the coccyx, which is one bone made of four fused
vertebrae.)
 Twenty four ribs plus the sternum; two clavicles, the most frequently fractured bones in the body,
and two scapulae.
 Two pelvic bones.
 Thirty bones in each of the arms and legs (a total of one hundred and twenty.)

Blood is a vital liquid; the human body cannot function without it. Blood is responsible for carrying
oxygen and food to the body organs. Blood also takes waste and carbon dioxide away from these
organs. The human body contains approximately five to six liters of blood.

Blood is made up of three kinds of cells: red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.

 Red blood cells: are like flattened disks. They carry oxygen and waste products. There are
approximately 25 trillion red blood cells in a human body.
 White blood cells: are oval and defend the body against infection. They travel in the
bloodstream to reach affected tissues. There are approximately 250 million white cells in a
healthy body.
 Platelets: are tiny oval shaped cells made in the bone marrow; they help in the clotting process.
When a blood vessel breaks, platelets gather in the area and help seal off the leak. Platelets
survive only about nine days in the bloodstream and are constantly being replaced by new
cells.

LESSO
The air is polluted by gas emissions from cars and airplanes, as well as by pollutants from factories.
When it rains, the rain often mixes these pollutants and ends up as acid rain which can wipe out
entire forest.

N2
Gas, oil, and petroleum are burned on a large scale, releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere
which causes global warming. As a result, the poles are melting, the sea levels are rising, and the
climate is changing severally all over the world. Many efforts are now being made worldwide to
bring down the number of greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere, and to look after the
planet better.

Crops are grown and harvested by man to provide food for humans and animals. To grow bigger
crops, chemical fertilizers are used to put extra nutrients into the soil, pesticides are used to kill
insects, and herbicides are sprayed to kill weeds. Al these products harm the environment and
humans. So many farms and companies now produce organic crops! Today, more and more people
now buy locally grown products because they do not require long distance transportation and
therefor do not cause pollution.
