Get to Know the Human
Body Systems
Learning Goal: To Describe the
Human Body Systems
● Name the 11 body systems
● Describe the main functions of each system
● Identify the main organs of each system
● Identify interactions between different
systems of the body
Intro Video: Human Body 101 (5:10)
Instructions
1. Read and learn about each body system by
observing the posters
2. Make a copy of this slideshow and record what you
learn on the following slides
3. For each system, make at least one connection to
another system -how do the systems interact and
affect each other?
