In this unit, students focus on the structure and function of specialized cells, tissues, and organs in the phenomena of complex multicellular organisms, and they explore how the body processes information gathered by sensory receptors. In this lesson, they develop a model for a human organ system and then observe different human cells to understand how structure influences function. This page highlights each part of this lesson.
