Task One: The human body This task has questions about the following six body systems:

cardio-vascular.

respiratory.

musculo-skeletal.

endocrine.

nervous.

digestive (gastro-intestinal).

1 For each body system you will name and describe the anatomy (parts) of the system and the associated organs.

2 For each body system describe the physiology (functions) of the system and the associated organs, what are its functions?

You may choose to answer questions for the above systems or you may wish to describe other systems.

Other systems might include:

urinary.

reproductive.

skin.

sensory.

immune.

another system you identify yourself.

If you choose your own body systems (this can be none or up to all 6) you need to attach your own documentation and include enough detail to cover the following:

1 For each body system you choose you must name and describe the anatomy (parts) of the system and the associated organs.

2 For each body system you choose you must describe the physiology (functions) of the system and the associated organs i.e. what does it do?

Refer to the layout of the systems in this assessment as guidance so you know what to include.
