Maintaining homeostasis is one of the characteristics of living organisms and will be the focus of this unit. Below are videos to watch independently about various body systems as we study how these systems work together to help our body maintain homeostasis:
Homeostasis
Nervous System
Cell Communication
Circulatory System
Respiratory System
Digestive System
In addition to learning about the body systems, we will also look at how the plasma membrane helps your cells maintain homeostasis.

HS-LS1-2. Develop and use a model to illustrate the key functions of animal body systems, including (a) food digestion, nutrient uptake, and transport through the body; (b) exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide; (c) removal of wastes; and (d) regulation of body processes.
HS-LS1-3. Provide evidence that homeostasis maintains internal body conditions through both body-wide feedback mechanisms and small-scale cellular processes.
