although it will certainly help
This is a good review site for this Unit: PATTS anatomy page

Anatomy of the system - know the organs
How food moves through the system - peristalsis
Enzymes
How are we like a donut?
Circulatory System:
Basic parts of closed circ sys - pump, vessels, transport medium (blood)
Anatomy (chambers and musculature) and flow of blood through the heart
definitions and characteristics of the blood vessels
Veins,
arteries, capillaries
the four components of blood - characteristics and functions

they work?

Respiratory system:
Anatomy of the system
Lung capacity
How is it measured?

Check out the lung capacity lab here
Asthma
respiratory surfaces
what gases are exchanged and how
difference between "breathing" and "respiration."
how the two terms are connected
function of cilia and mucus
inhalation and exhalation - muscles involved
Excretory system:
Liver - why does blood from the small intestine flow through the liver before
going anywhere else?

and heat
