a. hot spots

b. rift valleys

c. mountain ranges

d. mid-ocean ridges

• Students will be able to…

• Apply information about the immune system

• Identify facts about the excretory system

• Worksheets– go over

• Foldable– go over

• Learning Check

Outside Inside

• Function

• Parts

• How does it work with other systems?

• What else do I know?

• Picture

• To fight against disease

• White blood cells

• Circulatory- transports the white blood cells; skin- the skin is the first line of defense, difficult for pathogens to penetrate; respiratory- cilia in our nose and respiratory tract moves pathogens out of our body; skeletal system- producing white blood cells

• Pathogens- organisms that cause disease (virus, bacteria, fungus, protist); mechanical, chemical, and biological barriers; ex- flu, bronchitis, common cold; infectious disease-disease caused by the presence of a living within the body; the skin is the most important mechanical barrier; mucus- slimy substance that traps pathogens; cilia moves pathogens out of the nose or throat; inflammatory response-body’s response to tissue damage

• Read and Highlight

• Answer the following questions

as a group in your notebook

1. What is excretion?

2. What does the excretory system

do?

3. What is urea?

4. Which organs are apart of the

excretory system and what do

they do?

5. What role do nephrons play in the

excretory system?

6. Explain how the excretory system

works to maintain homeostasis.

Warm Up-

Which of the following areas is most likely to form metamorphic rocks such as gneiss and schist?

a. a sea floor

b. a windblown desert

c. a site deep underground

d. a site covered by a glacier

• Students will be able to

other systems?

• What else do I know?

• Picture

Inside

• Kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, urethra

• Collects wastes from cells and gets rid of it; maintains homeostasis

• Circulatory- blood goes through the kidneys to be filtered; Skin- wastes is excreted out of sweat glands; Respiratory-Carbon dioxide and some water are eliminated through the lungs Digestive-liver produces urea; Muscular- bladder is made up of muscle

• Nephrons are located in the kidneys and work to filter blood; millions of nephrons located in a kidney; liver helps break down wastes before they are excreted; urea-chemical by product of the breakdown of proteins; kidneys go through two processes- filter blood and excrete waste;

• What is the function of the excretory system?

• How does it work with the circulatory system?

Outside• Parts

• Function

• How does it work with other systems?

• What else do I know?

• Picture

inside• Brain, spinal cord, nerves

• Receives information about what is

happening both inside and outside the body;

directs the way in which your body responds

to this information; helps maintain

homeostasis

• Works with other systems by sending and

receiving messages to different organs

throughout the body
