Cells: Structure and Function
Group and Individual Project
Explain and diagram how specialized cells work together to create an organ system which provides
specific functions within a multicellular organism (for example, explain how cells create tissues, how
tissues form organs, and how organs form organ systems, and describe various organ systems, their
functions, and their components).
There are eleven organ systems of the human body.
Your group will become experts in one of the following systems.
You will become an expert in one of the organs within the system.

To get a 4, you should research and prepare at least a three paragraph MELACON essay to explain how
the organs in your system work together and how does the system works with at least one other organ
system.
