Key Learning:

The human is composed of several different systems. Each system is designed to accomplish certain functions that are used in conjunction with the other systems of the body to enable the human body to properly function and survive.

Identify the parts of the brain on diagrams and models. Discuss electrical and chemical signals in the nervous system. Include external and internal stimuli and responses (FCAT assessed). Relate biofeedback and homeostasis to this system (FCAT assessed).
Concept: Cardiovascular System
SC.912.L.14.36  

Include the principle structures of the cardiovascular system and factors that affect blood flow through the system. Relate biofeedback and homeostasis to this system (FCAT assessed).
Concept: Human Reproduction
SC.912.L.16.13  

Describe major changes that occur in each trimester of pregnancy.

HOTS: Analyzing perspectives or constructing support could be used to address the ET LEQ.

Concept: Immune System
SC.912.L.14.52  

Include specific and nonspecific immune responses, vaccines and antibiotics. Relate biofeedback and homeostasis to this system (FCAT assessed).
Concept: Health Factors
SC.912.L.14.6  

Explain the significance of genetic factors, environmental factors and pathogenic agents to health from the perspective of both individual and public health.

HOTS: Analyzing Perspectives could be used to address the ET LEQ for this concept.
Concept: Impact of Biotechnology
SC.912.L.14.6  

Evaluate the impact of biotechnology on the individual and society, including medical and ethical issues.

Biotechnology includes: recombinant DNA, genetic engineering, cloning of animals, transgenetic animals, diagnosis of genetic disorders, gene therapy, DNA fingerprinting, DNA vaccines, production of human insulin and growth hormone.

HOTS: Analyzing Perspectives, Constructing Support, or Error Analysis could be used to address the ET LEQ for this concept.

Vocabulary Report

  • vas deferens -

    in males, duct that transports sperm from the epididymis towrds the ejactulatory ducts of the urethra

  • phagocytes -

    white blood cells that destroy pathogens by surrounding and engulfing them.

  • pathogens -

    disease- producing agents such as bacteria, protozoans, fungi, viruses, and other parasites.

  • pulmonary -

    relating to, associated with, or functioning like the lungs.

  • neurotransmitters -

    chemicals released from an axon that diffuse across a synapse to the next neuron's dendrites to initiate a new impulse.

  • frontal lobe -

    area responsible for speech production, movement initiation, and personality aspects.

  • epididymis -

    in human males, the coiled tube within the scrotum in which the sperm complete maturation

  • histamine -

    a chemical substance that increases blood flow to an injured area and increases permeability of surrounding capillaries.

  • hypertension -

    a condition of high blood pressure.

  • atherosclerosis -

    a disease characterized by the buildup of fatty materials on the interior walls of the coronary arteries.

  • parietal lobe -

    area in which bodily sensations are perceived and interpreted.

  • corpus luteum -

    part of an ovarian follicle that remains in the ovary after ovulation; produces estrogen and progesterone

  • pustule -

    a small, raised area of the skin with an inflamed base and containing pus.

  • lymph -

    tissue fluids composed of water and dissolved substances from the blood that has collected and entered the lymph vessels.

  • temporal lobe -

    area in which recognition of sounds, their tones, and loudness takes place. Also involved with memory storage.

  • blastula -

    hollow ball of cells in a layer surrounding a fluid-filled space; an animal embryo after cleavage but before the formation of the gastrula

  • hemoglobin -

    iron-containing protein molecule in red blood cells that binds to oxygen and carries it from the lungs to the body's cells.

  • ovum -

    An ovum (plural ova) is a haploid female reproductive cell or gamete. The word is derived from Latin, meaning egg or egg cell. [clarify] The term ovule is used for the young ovum of an animal, as well as the plant structure that carries the female gametophyte and egg cell and develops into a seed after fertilization. In lower plants and algae, the ovum is also often called oosphere.

  • occipital lobe -

    area concerned with analyzing and interpreting visual information from sensory nerve signals sent by the eyes.

  • interferons -

    host-cell specific proteins that protect cells from viruses.

  • thalamus -

    the part of the brain that directs incoming sensory and motor signals to the proper region.

  • autoimmune disease -

    a disease in which the immune system attacks the organism's own cells.

  • implantation -

    in humans, the attachment of the blastocyst to the lining of the uterus

  • antigens -

    foreign substances that stimulate an immune response in the body.

  • hypothalamus -

    portion of the brain that connects the endocrine and nervous systems, and controls the pituitary gland by sending messages to the pituitary, which then releases its own chemicals or stimulates other glands to release chemicals.
