After reading the concept, students will be able to:
- Answer the following:
- What is a cell?
- What is tissue?
- Types of organ systems in human body.
- Understand about organ systems like
- Respiratory system functions.
- Human circulatory system.
- What is skeletal system?
- What is nervous system?
