Introduction
Anatomy is the study of the structure or internal workings of the body. Physiology is the way in which a living organism or bodily part functions. The goal is for the students to have and understanding of the human body. There are 3 main system of the body for study Muscular, Skeletal and Organs. The Muscular system is an organ system consisting of skeletal, smooth and cardiac muscles. It permits movement of the body, maintains posture, and circulates blood throughout the body. the skeletal system is the framework of the body, consisting of bones and other connective tissues, which protects and supports the body tissues and internal organs. The human skeleton contains 206 bones, six of which are the tiny bones of the middle ear (three in each ear) that function in hearing. The organ system is a group of organs that work together to perform one or more functions.
Task
1. Pick two articles. The fist article will be based on the bones and muscles of the skeletal body while the second article will be based on the organs of the body.

2. Do a list in which the student provide the name of all the bones composing the skeletal system and classify the according to the respect position in the body (ex. Thoracic, Cephalic etc...).
3. Do a second list with the name of all the muscles of the body and specifying in which part they are located.
4. Do a third list in which the student mention all the organs of the body.
5. Complete quizzes.
Quiz #1
- Function of Skeletal System ?
- Function of Muscular Sytem ?
- Function or organ system ?
Total Point 9
Quiz #2
- How many muscles the body have ?
- What is the most important organ system in the body ?
- How many bones the body have ?
- Which structure compose the thoracic cavity ?
Total points 12
Quiz #3
- Name 1 disease that can affect the function of the muscular system ?
- Name and specify bones affected by a disease you can choose the disease.
- Essay question about the dual work of skeletal and muscle system.
Total point 25.
6. Finally students will be grouped in groups of 4. They will need to create a Power Point presentation in which they will present to the class and introduction of the human body and a summary of their investigation. Each Group will present 10 minutes.
Process
1. Organize an outline with the major points of the organ systems, Skeletal and Muscular system.
- Functions and major resposabilities of the organ system.
- Structure and function of the organs in the system.
- Different types of tissues and cells in the organs.
- List and locate all the bones and muscles.
2. This is an example of how should be in your presentation the structures presented:
3. Search in more detail of a disease of the organs system (i.e Nervous Sytem: Alzheimer's or Parkinson's).

- http://cynologist.com/index.php/dog-illnesses-and-diseases/diseases-of-different-organs
3. Determine the following:
1. Answer different questions about their organs system, muscle and skeletal system.
Example:
-What is the function of the Organ ?
- What is this system composed of ? (Tissues/Organs...)
- Describe the location of each components of the system.
- Name of all the muscles and Bones.
4. The end product would be to create a Power Point presentation on an organ system and explain 1 disease that can affect this organ. Explanation of Muscular and Skeletal System.

Conclusion
The human body is amazing and complex. The study of the anatomy and physiology of the human body provides knowledge that can be applied in different settings. The muscular system is very important for the body support also for another function such as blood production. The muscular system provides protection and facilitate movement for the skeletal system. The organ system works together to main internal conditions stables. There are many diseases that can affect the work and function of the different types of system in the body. Anatomy and Physiology completes the knowledge of humans Biology.
