This course contains 2 segments:

Body structure & homeostasis

What makes a tissue different from an organ? How does your stomach collaborate with your small intestine to make sure you get nutrients? And most important, how do the systems of your body keep things like your temperature and blood pH from getting too high or too low? Keep reading and watching to find answers to all of these questions!

Metabolism & thermoregulation

You may think of metabolism as something that humans have (such as a fast or a slow metabolism). But metabolism is just the sum total of chemical reactions that occur in an organism's body, and all organisms must metabolize to keep their bodies running. Learn more about metabolism and how it's connected to thermoregulation (temperature regulation) in different species of animals.
