by Texas Instruments - Simulation Lesson

Objectives

  • Students will discover that groups of specialized cells work together to form tissues and organs.
  • Students will relate the connection between structure and function to specific organs of the digestive system.

About the Lesson

In this lesson, students will explore the specific tissues of digestive organs that work as a team to digest food.

 As a result, students will:

  • Understand how structure relates to function in the human body.
  • Understand the relationship among cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems using the digestive system as an example.
