CURRICULUM TOOL – BODY SYSTEMS
HOW TO LEARN THE CURRICULUM:
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:
New York State Core Curriculum:
1.2a Important levels of organization for structure and function include organelles, cells, tissues, organs, organ
systems, and whole organisms.
1.2e The organs and systems of the body help to provide all the cells with their basic needs. The cells of the body
are grouped together in ways to enhance their functioning.
1.2cd The components of the human body from organ system to organelles interact to maintain homeostasis. If
there is a disruption in any system, there may be a corresponding imbalance in homeostasis.
1.2b Humans are complex organisms. They require multiple systems for digestion, respiration, reproduction,
circulation, excretion, movement, coordination, and immunity. The systems interact to perform the life
functions.
