Tissues, Organs and Systems of Living Things
Unit Guiding Questions:
1. How are biological systems organized, and how can our understanding of this hierarchical organization (cells, tissues, organs, and systems) help us to evaluate the
development of medical technology related to systems biology?
2. What are the social and ethical implications associated with new developments in medical technology and how do these implications impact our everyday lives?
