Your task today is to begin to research the systems of the human body and record what you learn on the System Summary Sheet for the Nervous, Cardiovascular, Endocrine, and Lymphatic Systems (ONLY). For the major organs - list 3 for each of those systems and give a really short description of what that organ does. There are two ways that you can get this information.
1) Use the innerbody website. Investigate the diagram and then select Nervous System Overview above the diagram. Notice that the overview of the system is on the left and that will tell you the fuction. If your scroll way down under the diagram it will describe the organs (remember 3 per system). Also on the left (yesterday it was at the bottom of the page, today it is near the top) is a box of links to take you to the other system pages. Here is the website: http://www.innerbody.com/image/nervov.html Or you can . . .
2) Use the online text book at http://my.hrw.com and go to those page numbers listed on the worksheet and skim for the information requested for each system. Remember your password is on the 1st page 19 of your agenda.
When you are finished with those 4 systems please visit each of these websites which would also be great for practice from home.
Interactive human body site, select organ, then pick a gender.
A cool site that Erwin Cai found last year is http://www.softschools.com/science/human_body/
