🔬 Part 1: Organ Systems Knowledge

1. Match each organ system to its primary function:

A. Circulatory System

B. Respiratory System

C. Nervous System

D. Digestive System

E. Excretory System

___ Controls body functions and responses

___ Removes waste products from blood

___ Breaks down food for nutrients

___ Exchanges oxygen and carbon dioxide

___ Transports materials throughout body

2. What is homeostasis?

The body's ability to grow and develop

The body's ability to maintain stable internal conditions

The body's ability to fight off infections

The body's ability to reproduce

3. Which systems work together to regulate body temperature? (Check all that apply)

Circulatory System

Integumentary System (skin)

Nervous System

Digestive System

4. Normal human body temperature is approximately ______°F, and blood pH should be around ______.

✏️ Part 2: System Interactions

5. Explain how the circulatory and respiratory systems work together to maintain homeostasis during exercise.

6. Describe what happens when homeostasis is disrupted. Give a specific example (such as fever, dehydration, or low blood sugar).

7. How do the nervous and endocrine systems work as the body's "control centers" for homeostasis?

🎭 Part 3: Creative Activities

8. Group Model Activity: Work with your team to create a diagram showing how at least 3 organ systems interact to maintain homeostasis. Use the space below to sketch your model and label the connections.

9. Role-Play Preparation: Choose one organ system and write a 30-second speech explaining your role in maintaining homeostasis. Include: your main function, which systems you work with, and what happens if you don't work properly.
