Body systems
Assessment
In your Assessment at the end of this Unit, you will be asked to:
- Describe the structure and function of the main body systems.
This will help you to satisfy assessment criterion 2.1 for this Unit. You’ll find lots of useful information on the following pages to help you complete this part of your Assessment.
As you work through this Session, you will learn all about six of the main body systems. These are:
- Skeletal system
- Muscular system
- Respiratory system
- Cardiovascular system
- Nervous system
- Digestive system.
You will find out how these systems work and the particular roles they play, especially in relation to health and fitness. You will also learn how exercise affects these body systems.
When you’re ready to get started, move on to page 3 where we will begin by taking a closer look at the skeletal system.
