Lesson Summary
Complex organisms are made of
cells that work together. Cells need
food and oxygen.
Supplies needed by cells are
carried through the body by the
circulatory system. The flow of
blood follows a specific path
through the heart chambers.
The Transportation System
The circulatory system has many
different components including the
heart, blood, veins, arteries and
capillaries.
Food and Fuel: The Digestive
System
Food moves through a series of
organs in the digestive pathway.
Each organ has a specific role in
digestion. The digestive system
works to make food usable for the
cells.
What Happens in the Digestive
System? Breaking Down Food
The breakdown of food occurs
both mechanically and chemically.
Food must be broken down into a
form that can be used by cells.

Standard Text
Students know many multicellular
organisms have specialized structures to
support the transport of materials.
Students know how blood circulates
through the heart chambers, lungs, and
body and how carbon dioxide (CO2) and
oxygen (O2) are exchanged in the lungs
and tissues.

Students know the sequential steps of
digestion and the roles of the teeth and
the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small
intestine, large intestine, and colon in
the function of the digestive system.

Students know that plant and animal
cells breakdown sugar to obtain energy,
a process resulting in carbon dioxide
(CO2) and water (respiration).

Lesson Summary
How Does the Food Get Out?
Membranes and Diffusion
Red blood cells are part of the
transportation system that brings
food to all of the cells. Nutrients
can move out of the small intestine
and into the bloodstream by
diffusion.
Breathing: Getting Air Into the
Body
Red blood cells carry oxygen to all
the cells in the body. Oxygen
moves from areas of higher
concentration (alveoli and villi) to
areas of lower concentration
(bloodstream) by diffusion.
What Goes in Must Come Out:
Tying it All Together
Kidneys are organs that filter the
blood. The systems of the body are
interconnected and can be
represented on a flowchart.
What Happens When You
Exercise?
During exercise some parts of the
body need more food and oxygen.
The human body is composed of
interdependent systems with
specialized functions.

the bladder.
