Introduction to the Human Body

Chapter 7 Study Guide

Essential Question: How is the human body organized?

Skills and Knowledge Required:

1. Use evidence to explain how the human body is a system of interacting subsystems composed of

groups of cells.

2. Explain the importance of an organism maintaining homeostasis and the process used to maintain

homeostasis.

You will know you have the skills when you can:

1. Identify the 4 different types of tissues.

2. Identify the types of organs made up of each type of tissue. ( ex: the heart is made up of muscle tissue)

3. Identify specific organs that make up an organ system. (ex: circulatory system is made up of the heart,

blood vessels, and blood)

4. Be able to identify the levels of organization in the human body from least complex to most complex.

(ex: cell, tissue, organ, organ system)

5. Be able to identify in a diagram or written description if homeostasis is being maintained.

6. Explain the different responses that the human body has in order to maintain homeostasis in various

conditions.
