Respiratory and Urinary Systems Unit objectives
Respiratory system
1. Compare the respiratory systems of mammals, worms, fish, and insects
2. What do all respiratory systems have in common
3. What gases are exchanged through the respiratory system
4. Know the order of structure O2 would go through as it enter the body until it gets to the tissues
(brain for example)
5. Know the order of structures CO2 would go through as it leaves the tissues and ends up in the
atmosphere
6. Label the structures of the respiratory system on a diagram and describe the function of each
7. Describe the changes that occur during inhalation and exhalation, including volume changes and
pressure changes
8. Identify the mechanism responsible for moving gases between the blood/alveoli, blood/tissues
9. Mechanism by which O2/CO2 are transported
Urinary
1. Functions of urinary system
2. Label the organs and describe the function of each organ
3. Describe the relationship between the urinary system and the circulatory system
4. Describe the steps that occur in the nephron in the production of urine
5. Identify the parts of a kidney
