 * Major Learning Targets: **
 * I can describe the functions of the major body systems

 * Each system has a critical job to perform for the organism
 * Each system much function well for the organism to be healthy
 * The systems do not act alone, instead they are all connected and rely on each other
 * Our actions and choices have long term health consequences
