Human Body Systems Research Project

Your assignment is to create a presentation containing information about the following 12 organ systems:

  Integumentary System /   Cardiovascular System /   Digestive System
  Immune System /   Respiratory System /   Lymphatic System,
  Muscular System /   Male/Female Reproductive System /   Excretory/Urinary System.
  Skeletal System /   Nervous System /   Endocrine System

You are to create a slide (or two) for each organ system. Include the following information and properly label:

·  Organs: Name all of the parts that make up the system

o  Describe the function of those parts that make up the particular system

·  Location: Tell where in the body it is located

·  Threats: Threats to the system (Give at least 3 examples of things that threaten the given body system and explain how they threaten that system)

·  Facts: Give 3 interesting facts about that body system

·  Include a picture of the body system
