The Third Quarter Project I

Must be a well-made PowerPoint, Summary Handout and Class Presentation of the Organ System you volunteered to present to the class! You have been chosen a group to work with and your group has elected to examine a particular human organ system. It is the job of your group to present the relevant information about that system to the class on the date that posted on the Ed-line Calendar. You will have time in class to work on your presentation and it is expected that you work outside of class on it as well. In addition to the presentation, you will compile a summary sheet of information for the class about your system.

Animal Organ Systems

Evolution of the Organ System

Include a description of how the organ system evolved in relation to the phylogeny of the animal kingdom. Your presentation should summarize the organs and functions of the systems in the major animal phyla. The usual phyla and representative organisms are as follows: Cnidaria-jellyfish, Platyhelminthes-Planaria, Nematoda-Ascaris, Annelida-Earthworm, Arthropoda-Grasshopper

Human Organ System and Function

What are the major organs? What is the system’s function? How is the system involved in the maintenance of homeostasis? What is the functional unit of the system and how does it work within the system?

Functional Unit/Functioning of the System

List the organs and their roles. Include pictures to indicate how the structure is related to the function of the organ. Explain functional unit and how it works. Describe how this system interacts with the other systems in the body?

Malfunctions of the Organ System

Identify and describe any of the major malfunctions that alter the normal function of the organ system.

E-mail Presentation

You must E-mail me a copy of your presentation and summary handout well before its due date so that I can run off copies of a handout of your presentation for your classmates to take notes during your presentation.
