BIO 105 FINAL PROJECT – 200 POINTS
The final project for our course requires you to make connections between at least TWO of the human body systems we have studied this semester. There are a number of ways that this can be achieved.
EX: Connect two (or more) body systems through a common disease state.
You could explain how sickle-cell anemia, diabetes, muscular dystrophy or any other disease affects the various body systems. Discuss the cause, symptoms, treatments utilizing terminology and concepts from the various topics we have covered.
EX: Connect two (or more) body systems in the ways that they function to support each other in a healthy body.
You could discuss how the circulatory system and respiratory system work together in exercise or how our digestive system and circulatory system cooperate in maintaining a healthy diet. Be sure to include all appropriate anatomy and cellular processes involved.
EX: Come up with your own way to discuss the various supporting systems!
You could look into the various systems response to “fight or flight” or discuss how your body’s systems work together for healing when you break your leg. The possibilities are almost endless!
The human body is an amazing group of parts and systems that must rely on each other for nourishment, energy, transport, structure, etc! Describe a scenario, using all pertinent anatomical terms and cellular occurrences that shares your gained knowledge from this course.
This is a 200 POINT assignment so be sure to be thorough in your descriptions of the systems, their parts, functions and connections in the given scenario. If you are uncertain, please send me a copy of your ideas, what you have written, I will be very happy to provide feedback and guidance.
The format for this project can be in written paper form or recorded presentation with powerpoint slides. If you have another suggested format, please let me know, I am open to new ideas!
