Human Biological Systems
Circulatory System
Content: Structure and Function – How are organisms structured to ensure efficiency and survival?
7.2 - Many organisms, including humans, have specialized organ systems that interact with each other to maintain
dynamic internal balance.

All organisms are composed of one or more cells; each cell carries on life-sustaining functions.

Multicellular organisms need specialized structures and systems to perform basic life functions.
C5. Describe the structures of the human digestive, respiratory and circulatory systems, and explain how they function to bring oxygen and nutrients to the
cells and expel waste materials.
C6. Explain how the human musculo-skeletal system supports the body and allows movement.
Enduring Understandings
1. All body systems affect one another.
2. Structure is related to function.
