Lecture outline
This section of Biology, called "Body Systems", examines the structure, layout, and function of human tissues, organs, and systems.
Levels of structure:
This section of Biology, called "Body Systems", examines the structure, layout, and function of human tissues, organs, and systems.
Levels of structure:
- Atoms bond together to form molecules
- Molecules assemble to form cells (you have trillions of cells in your body)
- Similar-functioning cells group together to form tissues (you have about 200 different tissues in your body)
- Tissues group together to form organs (heart, lungs, pancreas)
- Organs function together as organ systems (the heart, blood, and blood vessels make up the circulatory system)
- Organ systems make up the organism (humans, fruit flies, seaweed, dolphins

Optional: "Heart & Circulatory System" presentation
Presentation topic: "The Heart and Circulatory System".
This is to be a 5-6 minute PowerPoint presentation which you will give at an upcoming class. You can use PowerPoint, Google Slides, Prezi, and so on.
Your presentation should be suitable for a Biology class. Use correct Biology terms. Examples: you can make your presentation on things such as heart disease, pacemakers, artificial hearts, blood-borne infectious diseases (HIV, hepatitis B or C), how smoking and alcohol affect the heart, how SARS CoV-2 affects the heart and circulation, how the Covid-19 vaccines might affect the heart, recent developments in heart valves, how heart muscles work, the heart’s electrical system, cardiac tissue engineering, Sickle Cell Anemia, Leukemia, other diseases of the blood, new drugs or drugs under development, and so on.
