| Connecting to the National Standards for Science:
Important levels of organization for structure and function include cells, organs, tissues, organ systems, whole organisms, and ecosystems.
The human organism has systems for digestion, respiration, reproduction, circulation, excretion, movement, control, and coordination, and for protection from disease. These systems interact with one another.
Disease is a breakdown in structures or functions of an organism. Some diseases are the result of intrinsic failures of the system. Others are the result of damage by infection by other organisms. |
