Many discoveries of science are obvious for us now, but remember, in the past people didn’t know many of these things. For example, did you know that the circulatory system was only discovered in the 1620s? You’ll now read a short lecture on human anatomy.
Obecnie wiele naukowych odkryć zdaje się nam oczywistymi, jednak musisz pamiętać, że w przeszłości ludzie nie mieli o tych rzeczach pojęcia. Czy wiedziałeś/wiedziałaś, że układ krążenia został odkryty dopiero w latach 20. XVII wieku? Przeczytasz teraz krótki wykład o anatomii człowieka.

Hello, everyone! In today’s class I will tell you about human anatomy, which is the study of how the human body is built. The body is built of four limbslimbs (arms and legs), a neck and a head, all of which are connected by the torsotorso. All of it is covered by skin. On the inside, the body is mostly defined by a skeleton surrounded by fat, musclemuscle, connective tissueconnective tissue and organs, amongamong other structures. The most important part of the skeletal systemskeletal system is the spinespine, inside which there are nerves, connecting the brain to the rest of the body. It is thanks to the nervous system that our bodies function and, among other things, our limbs do what we want them to.
There are a number of vitalvital organs inside our body such as the brain, stomachstomach, the intestinesintestines, liverliver, pancreaspancreas and spleenspleen. The brain and the central nervous systemcentral nervous system are separated by the blood‑brain barrierblood‑brain barrier, whose function is to keep the bacteria and other pathogenspathogens away from the brain.
The circulatory systemcirculatory system is what distributesdistributes oxygenoxygen and keeps us alive. BloodBlood moves through arteriesarteries and veinsveins because of the beating of the heart. To put it simply, blood low in oxygen is collected from tissuestissues and carried to the right side of the heart, from where it is sent to the lungs. It receives oxygen and is sent to the left side of the heart. From there it is pumped to the aorta, the body’s largest artery, and is sent to smaller arteries so it reaches tissue. Soon the process begins again. But blood doesn’t only carry oxygen - it also carries waste products and hormones. It is filtered in the kidneyskidneys and liver.
Our outside appearance variesvaries largelylargely, depending on heightheight, weightweight, shape and body proportions. But, as you can see, inside, we are all the same. Thank you for listening.
