Describe the circulatory, immune, respiratory, and digestive systems
This set of body systems has been grouped together as the “cell maintenance systems.” Remember, this isn’t a hard-and-fast categorization: these systems are grouped together to help you organize your learning. These body systems all function to maintain the cells in your body: the circulatory, respiratory, and digestive systems provide the nutrients and energy your cells need to live. The immune system protects these cells from pathogens.
What You’ll Learn to Do
- Identify the structure and function of the circulatory system
- Identify the structure and function of the respiratory system
- Identify the structure and function of the immune system
- Identify the structure and function of the digestive system
Learning Activities
The learning activities for this section include the following:
- Circulatory System
- Respiratory System
- Immune System
- Digestive System
- Self Check: Cell Maintenance Systems
