Human Body Project Success Criteria
I will be successful when I can
- identify major systems in the human body
(e.g., musculoskeletal system, digestive system, nervous
system, circulatory system) and describe their roles and
interrelationships
- identify interrelationships between body systems
(e.g., the respiratory system provides oxygen and removes
carbon dioxide for the circulatory system)
- describe the basic structure and function of major organs in
the respiratory, circulatory, and digestive systems
(e.g., we have two lungs; each one is about 25–30 cm long and
cone-shaped; the right lung is slightly bigger because it has
three lobes and the left lung has only two; our lungs are
responsible for gas exchanges)
- identify common diseases and the organs and/or body
systems that they affect
(e.g., epilepsy affects the brain [central nervous system];
appendicitis affects the appendix [digestive system]; asthma
and emphysema affect the lungs [respiratory system])
- design and build a model to demonstrate how organs or
components of body systems in the human body work and
interact with other components
(e.g., build a model that shows how
muscles, bones, and joints in the human body
work together as a system to allow movement
of the arms or legs; build a model to show how the lungs and
heart work as a system)

The main systems of the human body are as follows:
1. Cardiovascular/Circulatory system:
1. Circulates blood around the body via the heart, arteries and veins, delivering
oxygen and nutrients to organs and cells and carrying their waste products away.
2. Digestive system / Excretory system:
1. Mechanical and chemical processes that provide nutrients via the mouth,
esophagus, stomach and intestines.
2. Eliminates waste from the body.
3. Endocrine system:
1. Provides chemical communications within the body using hormones.
4. Integumentary system/ Exocrine system:
1. Skin, hair, nails, sweat and other exocrine glands.
5. Lymphatic system / Immune system:
1. The system comprising a network of lymphatic vessels that carry a clear fluid
called lymph.
2. Defends the body against disease-causing agents.
6. Muscular system/Skeletal system:
1. Enables the body to move using muscles.
2. Bones supporting the body and its organs.
7. Nervous system:
1. Collects and processes information from the senses via nerves and the brain and
tells the muscles to contract to cause physical actions.
8. Renal system / Urinary system:
1. The system where the kidneys filter blood.
9. Reproductive system:
1. The sex organs required for the production of offspring.
10. Respiratory system:
1. The lungs and the trachea that bring air into the body.
