Organ Systems Test - Study Guide, Hints and Strategies
*The Organ Systems test will be on Thursday, December 14. If you are absent due to illness or athletics, it is your responsibility to arrange an alternate time with Mr. Mak.
Study Strategies
1) Study with a friend or family member!
2) Re-watch the videos we went over in class. Can you explain the function(s) of each system and the role of all key components?
3) Look over the notes taken in class. Can you explain the function(s) of each system and the role of all key components?
4) Use the hints below as a checklist, to see if you are ready! If not, review any areas you don't feel confident.
5) See Mr. Mak for any extra help, if needed.
