Standard 6

7Sc.3: Summarize the relationships of the major body systems (including the  circulatory, respiratory, digestive, excretory, nervous, muscular, and skeletal systems).

  The relationship between the Major Human Body Systems

Human Body- What system depends on the other?

Group Demonstration

1) The class will use the Human Body Packet the teacher handed out from the book (Your Body and How It Works)

2) The lab groups will pick a pair of systems that depend on each other- (Skeletal/Muscular, Respiratory/Circulatory, Digestive/Excretory, or Nervous/Endocrine)

3) The students will be given a 2 meters in length piece of Bulletin Board Paper- they will then trace one of the partners perimeter.

4) The students will then, using their packet as a guide, draw their system, labeling each organ and part.

5) On a piece of line paper, the group will write up how the two systems depend on each other and cut and paste it.

6) The groups will present their “Paired Body Systems” to the class with a verbal explanation of how they coexist!

Class Demonstration

1) The teacher will pick the Circulatory/Respiratory system and review out-loud how the lungs carry in Oxygen and remove waste from the Blood, which is part of the circulatory system.

2) She will then trace one of her students and using a picture from the packet outline the respiratory and circulatory system, starting to color in and label all of the organs and their functions.

3) She will do a quick presentation to the students- modeling what is expected and how to write up their partnership between the respiratory and circulatory system.

Question 1	1)     Name 2 systems that depend on each other and explain how and why?	-Respiratory and Circulatory- the lungs (part of the Respiratory System) carry in and out the oxygen the body needs and the carbon dioxide it needs to removed, which is transported by the blood, which is part of the circulatory system
Question 2	2)     Defend which system is more important and why! - The Nervous System or the Endocrine?	-Answer WILL VARY! -The nervous system contains the control center of your body, the brain, and parts of the endocrine system-glands that control the hormone balance of the body- In my opinion, both of them are as important as the other, especially since they depend on each other.
