Essential Questions: These are the questions you should know to demonstrate
your mastery of content on Body Systems.
1. How do the different components of the body work together to enable humans
to survive and interact with their environment?
2. What are some public health issues that we face in society today? How do
these affect the body? What can individuals do to avoid or prevent these?
3. Why must cells absorb energy and nutrients?
4. How do cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems relate to the complexity of
living organisms?
5. What happens when cells cease to function adequately or at all?
6. How do body systems serve the needs cells have for oxygen, food, and waste
removal?
Human Body Systems Chart
Directions: In your clinic complete the charts on each body
system. Specialist are responsible for ensuring that their clinics
have all the information required for that body system. Be
detailed in your responses and use the resources available. You
will use this information to study for your physiology exam
(written exam).
