1. 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?

2. Integumentary System p. 452-453
What are the major function(s) of this system?
Provide names of major organs and their functions
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?

3. Excretory System p. 442 What are the major function(s) of this system?
Provide names of major organs and their functions
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?

4. (Reproductive and) Endocrine Systems p. 467, 474, 475
What are the major function(s) of these system?
Provide names of major organs and their functions
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?

5. Respiratory System p
What are the major functions of this system?
Provide names of major organs and their functions
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?

6. Muscular System p
What are the major function(s) of this system?
Provide names of major organs and their functions
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?

7. Skeletal System p
What are the major function(s) of this system?
Provide names of major organs and their functions
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?

8. Circulatory/Cardiovascular System p.446-447
What are the major function(s) of this system?
Provide names of major organs and their functions
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?

9. Nervous System p. 464-465 What are the major functions of this system?
Provide names of major organs and their functions
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.

10. Test Today!!! Warm-Up (9/27/16)
Take everything off of your desk except for a #2 pencil.
Be silent and wait for instructions
(IF YOU ARE NOT FOLLOWING DIRECTIONS I WILL DEDUCT 5 POINTS FROM YOUR WARM-UP GRADE)
When you are finished with the test, get a black science book from the back and read ANY of the following, then read the ones you haven’t read yet (YOU WILL STARTING A PROJECT ON ONE OF THESE TOMORROW):
Integumentary System p
Excretory System p. 442
(Reproductive and) Endocrine Systems p. 467, 474, 475
Respiratory System p
Muscular System p
Skeletal System p
Circulatory/Cardiovascular System p
Nervous System p

11. Warm-Up (9/30/16) What does “homeostasis” mean?
What does “stimuli” mean?
What is the difference between “internal” and “external”?
What is one example of internal stimuli within your body, and how does your body maintain homeostasis when this occurs?
What is one example of external stimuli within your body, and how does your body maintain homeostasis when this occurs?
