Name Class Human Physiology Body Systems Project Due Date:____________________ You will create an informative brochure on various body systems. This can be in the form of a computer generated pamphlet, a foldable (see text book p 572-574) or PowerPoint (need both digital and printed slides). This will be used for a study guide for the next assessment. Utilize your textbook, review book and websites (see class website for examples) to gather the following information: Specific System Questions: Digestive: o Describe and differentiate mechanical and chemical digestion o What are the main organs and their functions? o Why must food be broken down to? Explain how this is connected to diffusion into body cells. o Describe how absorption of nutrients occurs in the small intestine. Be sure to include the role of villi in your answer and how diffusion is involved. Respiratory: o What are the main organs and their functions? o Write the steps Oxygen molecules take from the atmosphere to a cell.(could be a flow chart) o Explain how the respiratory and circulatory systems work in a coordinated fashion. Circulatory: o What are the main organs and their functions? o Describe the difference between pulmonary and systemic circulation. What other system is involved in pulmonary circulation? o Describe how diffusion is involved in the transport of materials across capillary walls. o What is the lymphatic system and how does it function to maintain homeostasis? Describe the role and locations of lymph nodes. ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ Excretory o Describe how the lungs, kidneys, large intestine, and skin function as excretory organs. Be specific in your descriptions. o What is a nephron and describe its function? Describe the difference between reabsorption and filtration in the kidneys. Skeletal and Muscular o List the function of joints and describe with an example the 3 types o List the 3 types of muscular tissue and their functions. o Explain how the nervous system works with the muscular system to cause muscles to contract. Endocrine o What does it mean when hormones are called chemical messengers? o Describe the endocrine function of the pancreas. What does insulin do when released into the bloodstream? o What is a feedback loop or feedback inhibition? Provide an example. Nervous o What are the main parts of the nervous system? Explain what each does. o What are the 3 types of neurons? Describe their functions. o What are synapses? What is their function?
