There are more than six billion human
beings in the world. If you could say hello
to all of them, even quickly, it would take
you more than 300 years. In some ways,
all human bodies are very similar,
especially on the inside. Each one has
a heart and brain, bones and guts,
arms and legs and skin. But each
human body is also individual,
especially on the outside. You have
your own appearance, size and shape,
facial features, hairstyle and clothes.
You also have your own personality,
with likes and dislikes, and special
things that make you happy or
sad. So human bodies may be
very similar in how they look,
but not in what they do. You
are unique, your own self.
We tend to notice small differences on the outside of human bodies such as - photo 7 We tend to notice small differences on the
outside of human bodies, such as height, width,
hair colour and clothes. This allows us to
recognize our family and friends.

A full-grown human body is made of
billions of microscopic parts, called cells.
But in the beginning, the body is a single
cell, smaller than this full stop. Yet it contains
all the instructions, known as genes, for the
whole body to grow and develop.

Picture 13 Seven months
Picture 14 Thousands of sperm cells reach the egg
(top), but only one is successful and joins
with it, at fertilization. This starts the
growth of the baby, shown here after two,
three, five and seven months.
The body begins when an egg cell inside
the mother joins up with sperm from the
father. The egg cell splits into two cells, then
into four cells, then eight, and so on. The bundle
of cells embeds itself in the mothers womb
(uterus), which protects and nourishes it. Soon
there are thousands of cells, then millions, forming
a tiny embryo. After two months the embryo has
grown into a tiny baby, as big as your thumb,
with arms, legs, eyes, ears and mouth.
After nine months in the
womb, the baby is ready to be
born. Strong muscles in the walls
of the womb tighten, or contract.
They push the baby through the
opening, or neck of the womb,
called the cervix, and along the
birth canal. The baby enters
the outside world.
A newborn baby may be frightened and usually starts to cry Inside the womb it - photo 15
A newborn baby may be frightened and
usually starts to cry. Inside the womb it was
warm, wet, dark, quiet and cramped. Outside
there are lights, noises, voices, fresh air and room
to stretch. The crying is also helpful to start the
baby breathing, using its own lungs.

I DONT
BELIEVE IT!
The human body never grows
as fast again as it does during
the first weeks in the womb.
If the body kept growing at that
rate, every day for 50 years,
it would be bigger than the
biggest mountain in the world!
Picture 17 Inside the womb, the baby cannot
breathe air or eat food. Nutrients
