         The human body is made up of many organ systems,some of which are the skeletal-muscular system,the digestive system,the urinary system,and the circulatory system.Each system has its own special job,but all of them cooperate to keep the body alive and functioning properly.

        Bones,muscle,and joints,along with tendons,ligaments,and cartilages,make up the  skeletal-muscular system,which enables humans to do everyday physical activities.The bones provide support for the body and help form its shape;muscles are necessary for movement;and joints make the skeleton flexible.

        The digestive system is responsible for the digestion,absorption,and assimilation of fluids,macro-and micro-nutrients,as well as the elimination of waste from the gastrointestinal tract.This system is a series of hollow organs jioned in a long,twisting tube from the mouth to the anus.Inside this tube is a lining called the muscosa.It contains tiny glands that produce juices to help digest food.

        The urinary system consists of two kidneys,each of which has a ureter connecting it to the bladder.The bladder has a channel called urethra that ultimately leads to an opening in the body.The urinary system's primary function is to discharge urea and other waste products from the body in liquid urine,which is stored in the bladder until it passed from the body through the urethra.

        The circulatory system includes foru organs:the heart,the most important organ in the system,is a pumping system which takes in deoxygenated blood,delivers it to the lungs to be oxygenated and then pumps it throughout the body,where it is needed for energy.The other ones,the arteries,the veins,and the capillaries carry the blood to all parts of the body and return the blood from the body to the lungs.

             Just two months after the flight of Apollo 10,the Apollo 11 astronouts made their historic landing on the surface of the moon.This momentous trip for humanity also provided scientists with an abundance of material for study;from rock and soil samples brought back from the Moon,scientists have been able to determine much about the composition of the Moon as well as to draw inferences about the development of the Moon from its composition.               The Moon soil that came back on Apollo 11 contains small bits of rock and glass which were probably ground from larger rocks when meteors impacted with the surface of the Moon.The bits of glass are spherical in shape and constitute approximately half of the Moon soil.Scientists found no trace of animal or plant life in this soil.               In addition to the Moon soil,astronauts gathered two basic types of rocks from the surface of the Moon:basalt and breccia.Basalt is a cooled and hardened volcanic lava common to the E

             During the heyday of the railroads,when Ameria's rail system provided the bulk of the country's passenger and freight transportation,various types of railroad cars were in servive to accomplish the varied tasks handled by the railroads.One type of car that was not available for public use prior to the civil War,however,was a sleeping car,ideas for sleeping cars abounded at the time, but these ideas were unworkable.It unfortunately took the death of a president to make the sleeping car a viable reality.               Cabinet-maker George M.Pullman had recognized the demand for sleeping cars and had worked on developing experimental models of sleeping cars in the decade leading up to the Civil War.However,in spite of the fact that he had made successful test runs on the chicago and Alton Railroads with his models,he was unable to sell his idea because his models were too wide and too high for existing train stations and bridges.In 1863,after spending time working as

         Today ,the most universally known style of both men and women is jeans;these trousers are worn throuhout the world on a variety of occasions and in diverse situations.Also called levis or denims,jeans have an interesting history,one that is intermixed with the derivation of the words jeans,denims,and levis.               The word jeans is derived from the name of the place where a similar style of plants developed.In the sixteenth century,sailors from Genoa,Italy,wore a rather unique type of cotton trousers.In the French language,the word for the city of Genoa and for the people from that city is Genes;this name became attached to the specific style of pants worn by the sailors from this city and developed into the word jeans that today describes the descendents of the Genovese sailors' cotton pants.               Similar to the word jeans,the word denim is also derived from a place name.In the seventeenth century,French tailors began making trousers out of a specialized t
