Body+Systems

Body System Objective and Resources

Identify and give examples of each level of organization (cell, tissue, organ, organ system) in multicellular organisms (plants, animals) (Note-taking hand out for levels of organization) Textbook Pages 585-588

 (Assessments 2&3 for levels of organization)

Identify and contrast the structures of plants and animals that serve similar functions (e.g., taking in water and oxygen, support, response to stimuli, obtaining energy, circulation, digestion, excretion, reproduction)



Illustrate and explain the path water and nutrients take as they move through the transport system of a plant

Digestive System
 * Compare and contrast the processes of mechanical and chemical digestion, and their role in providing materials necessary for survival of the cell and organism
 * Identify the importance of the transport and exchange of nutrient and waste molecules to the survival of the cell and organism

Circulatory/Digestive
 * Explain the interactions between the circulatory and digestive systems as nutrients are processed by the digestive system, passed into the blood stream, and transported in and out of the cell

Circulatory/Respiratory
 * Explain the interactions between the circulatory and respiratory systems in exchanging oxygen and carbon dioxide between cells and the atmosphere (when oxygen enters the body, passes into the blood stream, and is transported into the cell; carbon dioxide is transported out of the cell, passes into the blood stream, and exits the body

Nervous/Muscular/Skeletal
 * Explain the interactions between the nervous and muscular systems when an organism responds to a stimulus

Muscular System p598-603
 * Muscles perform 3 important functions
 * 3 Types of Muscles
 * Compare Voluntary and Involuntary Muscles

Skeletal System Pages 590-596
 * 2 types of Bone Tissue
 * What is the relationship between marrow and blood cells?
 * Create a T-Chart comparing immovable and freely moving joints
 * __Connective Tissue (Define each type)__
 * Ligaments (p595 and p587)
 * Tendons (p602)
 * Cartilage (p594)

Predict the response the body may take to maintain internal balance during an environmental change (e.g., shivering when cold, slowing metabolism when food supply decreases or when dehydrated, adrenaline rush when frightened)
