Cardiovascular, Endocrine, and Immune Systems
Grade 10•45 minutes•HS.HAP.6 Construct an explanation of how the interdependence of the nervous and endocrine systems maintains homeostasis. HS.HAP.6.a Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information explaining how hormones secreted by endocrine glands help the body maintain homeostasis through negative and positive feedback loops. Examples: the role of insulin and glucagon in maintaining glucose levels, the role of parathyroid hormone and calcitonin in maintaining calcium levels HS.HAP.6.b Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information describing the role of endocrine axes involving the thyroid and gonads in controlling growth, development, metabolism, and reproduction. HS.HAP.7.a Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information explaining how vaccines work to stimulate immunity in the human body HS.HAP.8 Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information explaining how the structures of the cardiovascular system are related to its functions. HS.HAP.8.a Create a model to show how a pressure gradient moves blood through the circulatory system. Example:Apply pressure to water in a closed system to generate circulation. HS.HAP.8.b Carry out an investigation exploring the link between blood pressure and heart rate and include the role of baroreceptors and chemoreceptors in the explanation of results. HS.HAP.8.c Construct an explanation of the cardiovascular system's relationships with other organ systems, including the body's mechanisms for maintaining homeostasis. Examples: Explain how the nervous system exerts control over cardiovascular function. Explain the role of respiratory gases in cardiovascular function. Explain the filtration of blood to form urine.
