Unit 7 Human Body Systems

Human Body Systems

I am learning about how the body is organized as a system of interacting subsystems.

• I can put in order the five levels of organization: cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, and organisms.

• I can explain that groups of cells work together to form tissues and organs that are specialized for particular body functions.

I am learning about: the skeletal, muscular, respiratory, circulatory, nervous, digestive, and excretory systems.

• I can name the main organs in each system.

• I can explain the main function of each system.

• I can describe how each system interacts with other systems.

Stimulus and Response

I am learning about how sensory receptors detect different types of stimuli and send messages to the brain.

• I can identify the three main types of stimuli.

• I can match sensory receptors to their stimuli.

• I can explain sensory receptors.

I am learning about how the brain processes sensory information to create behaviors and memories.

• I can explain that sensory messages cause immediate behaviors.

• I can describe that sensory information can also become memories.
