Scholastic's The Magic School Bus Explores the Human Body. Important levels of organization for structure and function include cells, organs, tissues, systems, whole organisms, and ecosystems.
Cells carry on the many functions needed to sustain life.
They grow and divide, thereby producing cells. This requires that they take nutrients, which they use to provide energy for the work that they do and to make the materials that a cell or an organism needs. The human organism has systems for digestion, respiration, reproduction, circulation, excretion, movement, control, and coordination, and for protection from disease. These systems interact with each other. The human body never ceases to mystify and amaze us.
