The Body's Systems II
Reading
OpenStax book: Ch. 16 "The Body's Systems" sections 16.4 through 16.6
BJU: 24A "Endocrine system", 20C & 20D "Musculoskeletal systems", 23A - "The nervous system", and 23B - "The sensory organs"
AP students planning to take the AP exam May 14th need to be reviewing the Princeton study guide
Topics
Labs
Memo: 2020-2021 labs will include hands-on and virtual, and may vary as the Covid-19 situation changes.
Here is a list of possible labs for this lesson. I will choose from this list when we get here.

Here is a list of possible labs for this lesson. I will choose from this list when we get here.
- Cow eye dissection
- Sheep heart dissection
- Kidney dissection
- Virtual heart surgery
- Or... we could spend another week finishing one of the "Biotechnology labs" from the previous 3 Units
- And... there are many virtual labs on physiology and infectious disease

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)

Below: We will watch and discuss these videos on the human eye and nervous system
LABS & HOMEWORK BELOW: There are numerous labs, projects, presentations, and homework exercises posted on this portal. Don't panic. Some of these are current, some are left over from prior years, and some are just "parked" here for future use. DO NOT WORK ON A LAB OR HOMEWORK EXERCISE unless it has been assigned in your weekly class email! Due to the 2020-2021 Covid-19 situation, I will assign labs and homework as we go along based on what we are able to do.

Lab
The Cow's Eye dissection is an excellent launching pad for discussing nerves, tissues, and a complex & important sensory organ: the human eye.
