Human Body Systems Website Research Section

Use the following links to conduct your research of the human body systems.  
Remember, you are searching for what would happen if you were missing one of 
your body systems.  You are also searching for how the remaining body systems 
would be affected by missing that one system.  Record your collected data in 
your journal.  

Keep thorough notes, and be answering these guiding questions:  How are other 
body systems impacted when your chosen system is missing?  What conclusions 
can you draw about whether or not the human body could survive if it was 
missing just one of it's body systems?  How does the evidence support the 
conclusions you have reached?  How are the other body systems affected by not 
having the missing system?  Are they able to complete their jobs effectively 
if at all?

Body Systems Links


This website gives information about a bunch of the systems we studied.

Stay focused on this website!  Although there are many interesting topics to 
explore, you really need to explore the body systems section.  On your own 
time, go back to this website and explore the answers to the many other body 
functions explained on this site!
http://yucky.kids.discovery.com/flash/body/

Lots of good information in this website, you just have to hunt for the body 
systems you are looking for.
http://vilenski.org/science/humanbody/hb_html/skin.html

This will give you great information about the circulatory system.  Remember, 
look for links to other systems!
http://projects.edtech.sandi.net/brooklyn/humanbody/circulatory_system.htm

This is a very wordy description of the function of the digestive system.  
Stick with it, because there are some clues here concerning connections to 
other body systems.  Read carefully!
http://projects.edtech.sandi.net/brooklyn/humanbody/digestive_stystem.htm

Nervous system information found here!  Very short, but a vital piece of 
evidence is here!
http://projects.edtech.sandi.net/brooklyn/humanbody/nervous_system.htm

Information about the respiratory system is here.  Again, clues to 
connections are present!
http://projects.edtech.sandi.net/brooklyn/humanbody/respiration.htm

Overall information about the body systems we studied.
http://library.thinkquest.org/11965/html/cyber-anatomy_systems.html

Included here are the skeletal and digestive systems.  This site is under 
construction, so maybe more body systems will show up!
http://www.mnsu.edu/emuseum/biology/humananatomy/index.shtml

This site was designed by students.  There is good overall information here.
http://www.mnsu.edu/emuseum/biology/humananatomy/index.shtml

This link has lots of good information presented from a kid's point of view.  
Most of the body systems are represented here.
