Choose two of the body systems listed above to research and write about in your paper.

Organ Systems Research Paper (A&P I)
Due: Friday March 25, 2022
Format: APA format (see Purdue OWL website for proper formatting of cover page, section
headings, and citations), double spaced, 12 pt. font, 1” margins, Times New Roman, no direct
quotations (practice paraphrasing). No set page length – as long as it takes to cover all details for
each paper section. At least 3 scholarly citations.
Preface:
Every animal has body systems that carry out specific jobs in the body to keep the organism
alive. We are examining the following organ systems in this course:
1. Integumentary System
2. Skeletal System
3. Muscular System
4. Nervous System
Your task is to choose two human organ systems on which you would like to do research and
write about their anatomy and physiology and any disorders associated with those systems.
Paper Sections (each section – except cover page – should be at least 1 well-formed
paragraph and should have a section heading):
1. Cover Page – APA format. Be sure to include a running head, an informative title, your
name, campus location, date, instructor name, and class section and period.
2. Introduction – Introduce the human body systems you are comparing. Which body
systems are you discussing? What is their main role or roles in the body? End with a
thesis statement building up to the following sections on the body systems. This thesis
statement should be something that you can argue/support with the body of the paper.
This can involve something your chosen body systems have in common (a common
function they share or ways that they work together to keep us alive). Basically, the thesis
is a statement of what you are trying to show or convince the reader of with your paper.
Include citations.
3. Choose two of the body systems listed above to research and write about in your paper.
You will have the following subheadings for each body system you are writing about.
1.Anatomy – Describe the organs that make up the system in humans.
2.Physiology – Explain how the system works in humans. You must
include some form of calculation or interpretation of numerical values in
your descriiption of physiology. For the nervous system, for example, you
could discuss the different electrical charges involved in a nerve impulse.
Just be sure, for whichever body systems you choose, to explain a
