Cell Specialization and Organ Systems

• Students have the opportunity to learn and observe the function of organ systems and the specialized cells that form those systems while diagnosing a medical condition affecting those systems. The lab is separated into 5 patients/stations, each including symptom comparison, cellular image comparison, and a diagnostic test. The body systems covered include digestive, immune, skeletal, nervous, and respiratory. Students observe how a disease localized to a single body system can affect and create symptoms in multiple body systems.

Items included in this lab are listed below.

Plastic Pipettes, Test tubes, Student packet.
