Unit 19: Systems of the Human Body

This unit emphasizes our uniquely designed body structures and how they are adapted for their function. Students learn about the skeletal, respiratory, circulatory, digestive, and excretory systems.

Student Goals

• Know the relationships between structure and function in the human body.
• Demonstrate understanding of the design and function of the skeletal, respiratory, circulatory, digestive, and excretory systems.
• Determine pulse rate at rest and after exercise.
• Identify parts of the heart and the location of oxygenated blood.

Unit Focus

• Know that the body structures are uniquely designed and adapted for their function.
