Big Ideas
- Different organ systems in animals work together and interact to regulate the body, absorb nutrients, reproduce, and defend against injuries or illnesses.
- The complexity of animals’ survival depends on the integration and cooperation of multiple specialized systems.
Essential Questions
- How do animal body systems interact to maintain overall health and stability?
- What roles do different animal systems play in regulating, absorbing nutrients, reproducing, and defending against harm?
- Why is it important for animal systems to work together rather than independently?
- What might happen if one animal body system fails or is impaired?
- How do these system interactions contribute to an animal’s ability to survive and thrive in its environment?
