Question

modeling interacting body systems
objective: develop a model to illustrate how body systems interact to help an organism carry out a task.
part one: with your group you will identify a task or activity that you like to participate in.
task/activity walking
part two: each group member will identify one body system that will be used in completing the task and research it, completing the graphic organizer below. group members will share their research with all other group members by explaining how their body system contributes to the task/activity.

organ system	organs	tissues	cells	interactions w/ other body systems
respitory
skeletal
nervous

organisms: cells to body systems

Explanation:

The task involves identifying components (organs, tissues, cells) of body systems and their interactions during walking, a biological process.

Answer:

Organ System	Organs	Tissues	Cells	Interactions w/ Other Body Systems
Respiratory	Lungs, Trachea	Epithelial tissue	Alveolar cells	Provides O₂ to muscular system via circulatory system
Skeletal	Femur, Tibia, Joints	Bone tissue, Cartilage	Osteocytes	Supports muscular system; enables movement at joints
Nervous	Brain, Spinal Cord, Nerves	Nervous tissue	Neurons	Controls muscle contraction (muscular system); coordinates movement
