Body Systems Introduction and Circulatory System
Biological Structures Biological Structure parts within a living organism or cell Examples : Kidney, lung, mitochondria, chloroplast It that makes up a living thing, or a living thing itself
Order of Biological Structures From Smallest to Largest Organelle Cell Tissue Organ Organ System Organism
Order of Biological Structures Draw a picture that helps you remember the order of Biological Structures
Order of Biological Structures Organism- a living unit/species that is completely functional with all necessary parts System- a group of related body parts that work together to form a specific function Organ- part of an organism that has a specific vital function (ex: heart, lungs, etc.) Tissue- specialized cells and their products forming a certain material in the body Cells- the smallest unit of life
Benefits of Specialized Cells Specialized Cells -multicellular organisms have cells that can become specialized for a specific task Example : Kidney Cells, Heart Cells, Lung Cells This allows for specialized body parts: kidneys, heart, and lungs. Organisms with specialized cells live longer. Why do you think this is?
Benefits of having Specialized Cells Benefits : 1. Organism has specific and unique parts 2. Species can be both male and female 3. Organism can have specific body systems (Excretory, Digestive, etc.) 4. They tend to live longer because the cells can focus on one task

Circulatory System Organs/Parts : Heart Blood vessels: arteries and veins o Function: Circulates blood throughout the body
Circulatory System Continued Heart- A hollow, muscular organ that pumps blood throughout the circulatory system watch?v=oE8tGkP5_tc watch?v=oE8tGkP5_tc
Circulatory System Continued Arteries: carries blood A way from heart Oxygenated blood Carried under great pressure
Circulatory System Continued Veins: Carries de-oxygenated blood (CO2) towards the heart Not under a lot of pressure; has valves to work against gravity
Circulatory System Continued Why is the artery so much thicker than the vein?
