Body System Project Guiding Questions: Which systems are essential for your survival? What are the main functions of the body systems? How does the body respond to internal and external stimuli to maintain homeostasis?

Integumentary System p. 452-3 What are the major functions? Provide examples of cells, tissues, organs (1 each) Major organs that must be included: skin Answer this question: How does this system respond to internal and external stimuli to maintain homeostasis? What other systems does this system work with to do its job? Pre-AP give an example of something that can go wrong (disease, etc.) with this system and explain how it affects overall health and homeostasis.

Excretory System p. 442 What are the major functions? Provide examples of cells, tissues, organs (1 each) Major organs that must be included: kidneys, urinary bladder Answer this question: How does this system respond to internal and external stimuli to maintain homeostasis? What other systems does this system work with to do its job? Pre-AP give an example of something that can go wrong (disease, etc.) with this system and explain how it affects overall health and homeostasis.

(Reproductive and) Endocrine Systems p. 467, 474, 475 What are the major functions? Provide examples of cells, tissues, organs (1 each) Major organs that must be included: testes, ovaries, uterus, endocrine glands, pituitary gland, hypothalamus Answer this question: Endocrine only: How does the endocrine system maintain stable internal conditions? What other systems does this system work with to do its job? Pre-AP give an example of something that can go wrong (disease, etc.) with this system and explain how it affects overall health and homeostasis.

Respiratory System p. 444-445 What are the major functions? Provide examples of cells, tissues, organs (1 each) Major organs that must be included: lungs, nose, pharynx, trachea, bronchi, alveoli Answer this question: How does this system respond to internal and external stimuli to maintain homeostasis? What other systems does this system work with to do its job? How does gas exchange occur? Pre-AP give an example of something that can go wrong (disease, etc.) with this system and explain how it affects overall health and homeostasis.

Muscular System p. 462-3 What are the major functions? Provide examples of cells, tissues, organs (1 each) Major organs that must be included: cardiac, smooth and skeletal muscles and individual functions – heart, diaphragm Answer this question: How do smooth involuntary muscles help maintain homeostasis? What other systems does this system work with to do its job? What other systems must voluntary muscles work with to allow movement? Pre-AP give an example of something that can go wrong (disease, etc.) with this system and explain how it affects overall health and homeostasis.

Skeletal System p. 460-461 What are the major functions? Provide examples of cells, tissues, organs (1 each) Major organs that must be included: bones, marrow, skull, vertebrae Answer this question: How does this system respond to internal and external stimuli to maintain homeostasis? What other systems does this system work with to do its job? Pre-AP give an example of something that can go wrong (disease, etc.) with this system and explain how it affects overall health and homeostasis.

Circulatory/Cardiovascular System p.446-447 What are the major functions? Provide examples of cells, tissues, organs (1 each) Major organs that must be included: heart, veins, arteries, capillaries Answer this question: How does this system respond to internal and external stimuli to maintain homeostasis? What other systems does this system work with to do its job? Pre-AP give an example of something that can go wrong (disease, etc.) with this system and explain how it affects overall health and homeostasis.

Nervous System p. 464-465 What are the major functions? Provide examples of cells, tissues, organs (1 each) Major organs that must be included: brain, spinal cord, nerves, reflex Answer this question: How does this system respond to internal and external stimuli to maintain homeostasis? What other systems does this system work with to do its job? Give an example of both voluntary and involuntary actions that are controlled by the nervous system. Pre-AP give an example of something that can go wrong (disease, etc.) with this system and explain how it affects overall health and homeostasis.

Pre-Ap Only – Lymphatic (Immune) System p 448-449 What are the major functions? Provide examples of cells, tissues, organs (1 each) Major organs that must be included: lymph node, lymphocyte, immunity, tonsils, thymus, spleen Answer this question: How does this system respond to internal and external stimuli to maintain homeostasis? What other systems does this system work with to do its job? Give an example of something that can go wrong (disease, etc.) with this system and explain how it affects overall health and homeostasis.
