LIFE SUPPORTLiving Systems Lesson 1-3

Focus Question: How do the four transport systems interact with one another and support the cells in the human body?

REVIEW TRANSPORT SYSTEMS

✕ Respiratory system moves gases between the atmosphere and the blood

✕ Circulatory system carries resources and wastes to and from the cells

✕ Digestive system breaks food into sugar and other chemicals that can be used by cells

✕ Excretory system filters the blood and carries cellular waste materials out of the body

✕ Each system has many parts. Each part plays a specific role in supporting cells.

SUPPORT-SYSTEM QUIZ RULES✕ Facilitator rolls a pair of dice. Number on the dice

refers to one of the organs or tissues on the list.✕ Facilitator identifies

+ the support system that organ is part of+ the location of the organ in the system+ What it does in that system to support cells

✕ After everyone in the group agrees that the answer is correct and complete, they write the phrase in their notebooks.

✕ Chemical Manager rolls dice and play continues as above until all the items on the list have been completed.

REVIEW✕ What organs or tissues were difficult to fill in

the blanks for?✕ Each of the four systems is involved in the

transportation of substances that contribute to the support of living cells.

✕ Respiratory, Digestive, Excretory systems transport materials to and from the environment.

✕ Circulatory system transports materials in a closed system.
