Objectives

• Describe the levels of organization in organisms (7.4.3)

• SWBAT draw conclusions about which organ systems are affected by different diseases.

• SWBAT explain the relationship among organ systems in the context of disease.

•All organ systems work together for the function of the organism as a whole• Body systems are affected by one another• Disease usually affects a primary systems which in turn affects other systems

Hello Doctors!

Today you and your medical team will be evaluating 6 patients. You must use your understanding of the organ systems and their effect on one another to properly diagnose each patient. You will have to determine which systems the disease is affecting and will consult with the “research” to make a formal diagnosis.
