Body Systems Rap

Oh no she did-ent! Oh yes she di-id! Mrs. Harveylicious has written a 5th rap all about the human body. Eleven systems are covered in one clean rap: circulatory, respiratory, skeletal, muscular, digestive, nervous, endocrine, lymphatic, reproductive, urinary, integumentary systems! From yo head to yo toes, yo body is a network of systems working together 24/7 so you can chillax and enjoy this youtube video! LYRICS: Its da body systems rap, all about anatomy Yo body systems work as one in harmony From yo head to yo toes, this is how the story goes Yo body is amazing, so listen to my flow The circulatory system is about the blood and heart Without this major system, you would surely fall apart Yo arteries and veins deliver oxygen to cells Yo heart keeps it pumpin and da pressure never fails! Speaking of cells, you got 3 major types: They called da platelets, da red cells, and da white You need dem platelets to clot blood when you bleed You need da white blood cells to battle all disease Fo sho, lets take a trip up to da lungs Your respiratory system, aint about to be outdone! With every inhalation, you take oxygen inside With every exhalation, you free carbon dioxide Thats right, your alveoli are da bomb! They supply your blood with oxygen from dusk until da dawn! Word up, its time to move into yo bones So your grandmother can croon, Oh my goodness, how youve grown! Yo bones are living tissues, they give structure and support So be sure to drink your milk, for da calcium and more Put yo mind on yo marrow, yo marrow on yo mind Cuz your marrow makes your blood cells and your blood cells feed yo mind! Im not close to being done When it comes to talkin muscles we have only just begun Dees guns are good for more than just for show They help you move, they help you groove, they help you know, they help me flow! You got 3 kinds of muscles in yo body, thats a fact Cardiac, smooth, and skeletal; they all love to contract And contractins what they do, day in and day out When your breathin and digestin, its yo muscles workin out! Uh-huh, uh-huh, I want you all to know Your digestive system has been know to steal yo bodys show When you grab a bite to eat, make sure you chew it well, So yo stomach can turn it into chyme, whats that smell?? Thats the smell of yo intestines workin hard Absorbing nutrients, to give to all yo bodys parts And whats left? Well thats a story all its own Well just move on to yo nervous system and leave that part alone Wassup? Dis be yo brain Yall know Mrs. Harvey be insane in da membrane! But fo reals, the nervous system is da king We control all other systems, we be runnin everything! From yo brain to your spinal cord and down into yo nerves We give feeling to yo body and yo mind so you can learn Without this major system, youd be dead within a hour So stay in school so you can give yo brain some flippin power! Aight, so why da heck am I so moody? Thats because yo bodys hormones are just doin their duty Its yo endocrine system and and it regulates yo growth It also be controlin yo temperature and mo But what if, I get a fever and da chills? Then yo lymphatic system comes in swiftly fo da kill! With the help of yo white blood cells and yo liggity lymph nodes They be openin a can of whoop--you know how it goes One day I asked my mommy, where do babies come from? Then she told me bout the reproductive system, uh-huh! Girlies have two ovaries, which hold the little egg And little boys have testes holding sperm, thats what she said Yo body has a way of getting rid of wastes Its da urinary system and yo kidneys rule da place! You also rid of wastes through yo skin when you sweat Thank yo dermis and yo sweat glands for keepin you in check! Hold up! Is dis da end? Weve wrapped up all da systems and its time to say amen Yo body is amazing, treat it well and you will see Youll live a ripe old age to teach yo kids anatomy! -- written and performed by Mrs. Harvey 5/26/09
