4. Outside
Inside
• Function
• Parts
• How does it work with
other systems?
• What else do I know?
• Picture
• To fight against disease
• White blood cells
• Circulatory- transports the white blood cells;
skin- the skin is the first line of defense, difficult
for pathogens to penetrate; respiratory- cilia in
our nose and respiratory tract moves pathogens
out of our body; skeletal system- producing
white blood cells
• Pathogens- organisms that cause disease
(virus, bacteria, fungus, protist); mechanical,
chemical, and biological barriers; ex- flu,
bronchitis, common cold; infectious disease-
disease caused by the presence of a living
within the body; the skin is the most important
mechanical barrier; mucus- slimy substance that
traps pathogens; cilia moves pathogens out of
the nose or throat; inflammatory response-
body’s response to tissue damage

6. • Read and Highlight
• Answer the following questions
as a group in your notebook
1. What is excretion?
2. What does the excretory system
do?
3. What is urea?
4. Which organs are apart of the
excretory system and what do
they do?
5. What role do nephrons play in the
excretory system?
6. Explain how the excretory system
works to maintain homeostasis.

7. Warm Up-

to form metamorphic rocks such as gneiss
and schist?
a. a sea floor
b. a windblown desert
c. a site deep underground
d. a site covered by a glacier

• Picture
Inside
• Kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, urethra
• Collects wastes from cells and gets rid of
it; maintains homeostasis
• Circulatory- blood goes through the
kidneys to be filtered; Skin- wastes is
excreted out of sweat glands; Respiratory-
Carbon dioxide and some water are
eliminated through the lungs Digestive-
liver produces urea; Muscular- bladder is
made up of muscle
• Nephrons are located in the kidneys and
work to filter blood; millions of nephrons
located in a kidney; liver helps break down
wastes before they are excreted; urea-
chemical by product of the breakdown of
proteins; kidneys go through two

• Picture
inside
• Brain, spinal cord, nerves
