Daily TAKS Connection:Functions of Systems in Organisms

BIO(10): The student knows that, at all levels of nature, living systems are found within other living systems, each with its own boundary and limits. The student is expected to: (A) Interpret the functions of systems in organisms including circulatory, digestive, nervous, endocrine, reproductive, integumentary, skeletal, respiratory, muscular, excretory, and immune.

(B) Compare the interrelationships of organ systems to each other and to the body as a whole.

Foldable Instructions

Construct a two tab foldable Materials:

Foldable handout Scissors Pen Colored pencils/crayons

Instructions: Hotdog fold paper with leaving a 1cm

flap along the bottom Label flap “Human Body Organs &

Systems” Fold hot dog piece of paper into 3

hamburger folds. Cut along each fold without cutting bottom flap

Tuck the flaps into the bottom flap Label 1st flap:Skeletal & Muscle Label 2nd flap: Immune Label 3rd flap: circulatory Label 4th flap: Nervous Label 5th flap: Digestive Label 6th flap: Respiratory Label 7th flap: Urinary Label 8th flap: Endocrine

Instructions: Paste the attached pictures to the

inside of the correctly matching tab

Urinary System Notes

Record and if applicable label the following notes under each flap:

Urinary System

Rids the body of liquid wastekidney

ureter

Urinary bladderUrethra

Nervous System Notes

Record and if applicable label the following notes under each flap:

Nervous System

•Responds to stimuli to maintain homeostasis

Neuron

Axon

Synapse

Dendrite

Muscular System Notes

Record and if applicable label the following notes under each flap:

Muscle & Skeletal System

•Provides movement and extension of limbs

•Bones have red marrow which produces red blood cells

Bicep- flexes the arm (moves arm up)

Tricep- extends the arm

Respiratory System Notes

Record and if applicable label the following notes under each flap:

Respiratory System

•Intake of Oxygen (O2) and gets rid of CO2 as the body maintains homeostasis through metabolism

Endocrine System Notes

Record and if applicable label the following notes under each flap:

Endocrine System

•Hormones

•Glands

•Fight/Flight Response

Immune System Notes

Record and if applicable label the following notes under each flap:

Immune System

•Protects the body, often with T-cells (White Blood Cells)

•Helps rid the body of viruses, bacteria, and other pathogens

Digestive System Notes

Record and if applicable label the following notes under each flap:

Digestive System

•Contains enzymes which break down food

•Contains small intestine for absorption of nutrients

Circulatory System Notes

Record and if applicable label the following notes under each flap:

Circulatory System

•Delivers nutrients to all parts of the body

•Transports red blood cells to body which has the protein hemoglobin to carry oxygen (O2)

Reproductive System Notes

Record and if applicable label the following notes under each flap:

Reproductive System

•Allows for production of offspring sexual- varied offspring asexual- identical to parent

Star notes organs involved in sexual reproduction

On the backside of the foldable indicate which interaction of systems are involved in each of the pictured scenarios

•Hormones can trigger asthma attacks

•Systems Activated: Respiratory & Endocrine

•Systems Activated: muscular, respiratory, endocrine

•Systems Suppressed: Digestive, urinary, reproductive

•Excretory system retains fluids

•Vasodilatation to release excess heat

•Systems Activated: excretory, muscular, integumentary

•Muscular contraction to chew and push food down GI tract.

•Systems Activated: Digestion, Excretory, Circulatory
