Human Body Systems
• Key Question: Explain what would
happen if one of your body systems
fails.
• Initial Thoughts:
Brain Pop – Human Body
Jigsaw Activity
• Students will be placed into groups of six.
• Each student will be assigned a different
body system, and teach their group about
their system.
Evidence
• Take notes from the following slides in your
journal on your assigned system and also
research it on
http://www.biology4kids.com/files/systems_ma
in.html in order to teach your group about your
system.
• You will also create a 3D model or diagram of
your system to share with your group.

Answer the Following Questions
• Explain the system and what are the basic parts.
• How does it interact with other systems?
• Explain what happens if your system fails.
The Systems
• Several systems in the human body work
together to help keep it functioning normally.
• These systems are the skeletal, muscular,
digestive, respiratory, circulatory, urinary,
endocrine, lymphatic, immune, reproductive and
the nervous.
• When something goes wrong in one system, it
most likely will affect another system.
1 - Nervous System
• The nervous system has total control over
all other systems.
• Systems of the body respond to signals
sent out by the brain, which are delivered
through the spinal cord.
• The nervous system includes the brain,
spinal cord and nerves.
2 - Circulatory System
• The circulatory system helps move oxygen
through the body created by the respiratory
system.
• This system also has the task of moving wastes
that need to be disposed of.
• This system includes the heart, veins, arteries,
capillaries and blood.
3 - Digestive System
• The digestive system works closely with all
other systems to provide food and energy to all
body parts.
• It provides nutrients to systems to help them
grow and function normally.
• This system consists of the stomach and large
intestines.
4 - Respiratory System
• The respiratory system also works closely with all
other systems of the body.
• The respiratory system provides oxygen for all
body parts.
• It also removes carbon dioxide from the muscular,
digestive, skeletal, circulatory, urinary and
nervous systems.
• This system includes the nose, larynx, trachea and
the lungs.
5 - Urinary System
(part of the Excretory System)
• The urinary system also works closely with all
other systems of the body.
• It is used to clean blood from the body. This
system cleans waste products from the skeletal,
muscular, digestive, respiratory, circulatory and
nervous systems.
• The system includes the kidneys, lower
intestines, ureters, bladder, and urethra.
6 - Muscular System
• You have smooth, cardiac, and voluntary muscle tissue
in your body.
• Smooth muscle is muscle you rarely control such as the
muscle in your intestinal tract.
• Cardiac muscle is very specific tissue found in your
heart.
• Voluntary muscle is the muscle that helps you move.
• Muscles called flexors force your joints to bend.
Muscles called extensors cause your limbs to straighten.
Evidence 2
During the presentations, students will take notes in
their journal on each of the six systems, and will be
graded on their notes. Notes must consist of:
• Explain the system and what are the basic parts.
• How does it interact with other systems?
• Explain what happens if your system fails.
If you did not get all your answers during the
presentations, you will need to do research to
complete the required information.
Analysis
1. How does our blood get oxygen to our
other organs?
2. How does the brain send messages to your
limbs and organs?
3. How do muscles work?
Summary
Minimum of 4 sentences
– What did you think before about how the
human body systems work? (look back at your
initial thoughts)
– What did you learn about the human body
systems
– What evidence do you have that you learned
this?
– Further Thoughts
Make sure this is thoughtful and thorough.
Reflection
• Choose two or three human
body systems and explain how
they interact with each other.
Big Idea
• The human body systems work
together, and when one system
fails, it can effect other systems as
well.
