Study Notes
Organ Systems Overview
- There are eleven organ systems in the human body
- The organ systems include: Muscular, Respiratory, Digestive, Integumentary, Circulatory, Endocrine, Reproductive, Urinary/Excretory, Immune, Nervous, and Skeletal
- A mnemonic device for remembering the organ systems is MR. DICE RUINS
- Organ systems in plants and animals have different processes
- The processes include: reproduction, development, nutrition, gas exchange, transport/circulation, regulation of body fluids, chemical and nervous control, immune systems, and sensory and motor mechanisms
- Students will be comparing and contrasting the processes in plants and animals
Circulatory System
- Major Structures: Heart, blood vessels (veins, arteries, capillaries), blood (erythrocytes, leukocytes, thrombocytes, plasma), lymph nodes, lymph
- Functions: Transport nutrients, wastes, hormones, and gases
Digestive System
- Major Structures: Mouth, throat, esophagus, stomach, liver, pancreas, gallbladder, small intestine, large intestine, rectum, anus
- Functions: Extracts and absorbs nutrients from food, removes wastes, maintains water and chemical balances
Endocrine System
- Major Structures: Hypothalamus, pituitary, pancreas
- Functions: Regulates body temperature, metabolism, development, reproduction, maintains homeostasis, regulates other organ systems
Excretory System
- Major Structures: Kidneys, nephrons, urinary bladder, ureters, urethra, skin, lungs
- Functions: Filter, removes wastes from blood, regulates concentration of body fluids
Immune System
- Major Structures: White blood cells, lymphatic system
- Functions: Defends against pathogens and disease
Integumentary System
- Major Structures: Skin (epidermis and dermis), nails, hair
- Functions: Protects against injury and fluid loss, helps regulate body temperature
Muscular System
- Major Structures: Skeletal muscle, smooth muscle, cardiac muscle
- Functions: Moves limbs and trunk, moves substances through the body, provides structure and support
Nervous System
- Major Structures: Brain, spinal cord, neurons
- Functions: Regulates behavior, maintains homeostasis, regulates other organ systems, controls sensory and motor functions
- Divisions of Nervous System: Central Nervous System (CNS), Peripheral Nervous System (PNS). CNS includes: Brain, Spinal cord. PNS includes Motor Neurons (CNS to muscles & glands), sensory neurons (Sensory organs to CNS), Somatic Nervous System (Controls voluntary movement), Autonomic Nervous System (Controls involuntary responses), Sympathetic, and parasympathetic division.
Reproductive System
- Major Structures: Male: Testes and penis. Female: ovaries, uterus, breasts, and vagina
- Functions: Produces gametes and offspring
Respiratory System
- Major Structures: Lungs, nose, mouth, trachea
- Functions: Moves air into and out of lungs, controls gas exchange between blood and lungs
Skeletal System
- Major Structures: Bones and joints
- Functions: Protects and supports the body and organs, interacts with skeletal and muscles, produces red blood cells (RBC), white blood cells (WBC), and platelets
Specific Learning Objectives
- Students will correctly discuss organ systems in plants and animals.
- Students will critically compare and contrast processes in plants and animals.
- Students will appreciate the importance of organ systems for homeostasis through recitation.
Activity: Compare and Contrast
- Students will conduct an e-concept map comparing and contrasting processes in plants and animals.
- The processes include: Reproduction, Growth and Development, Mode of Nutrition, Gas Exchange, Transport/Circulation, Regulation of Body Fluids, Chemical and Nervous Control, Immune Systems, Sensory and Motor Mechanisms
Assessment Criteria
- Type of presentation: Should be appropriate for the topic and audience and questions
- Introduction of the topic: Presenter delivers in logical manner and adequately establishes credibility
- Knowledge: Integrates existing knowledge or current research, cites sources properly
- summary: Coherent summary of the topic
- Eye contact/Tone: Maintains eye contact and appropriate tone
- Layout: Maximizes use of visuals; clear texts, figures, and labels
- Time management: Presentation is prepared and utilizes time wisely.
