Journal Prompt =>
Think of a disease or illness that you or

at least two organ systems that this
disease may have affected and explain

4. Objectives
•
Describe the levels of organization in
organisms (7.4.3)
•
SWBAT draw conclusions about which organ
systems are affected by different diseases.
•
SWBAT explain the relationship among
organ systems in the context of disease.
5. Organ Systems and Disease
• All organ systems work together for the
function of the organism as a whole
• Body systems are affected by one another
• Disease usually affects a primary systems which in
turn affects other systems
6. Hello Doctors!
Today you and your medical team will be
evaluating 6 patients. You must use your
understanding of the organ systems and
their effect on one another to properly
diagnose each patient. You will have to
determine which systems the disease is
affecting and will consult with the
“research” to make a formal diagnosis.
