Body Systems Project Check In

Now that we are a few days into our Human Body Systems Project, I thought it might be a good time to check in.

I would like each group to post something about the system you are studying. Please post something here that teaches other people about your system.

You can also use this space to ask questions about systems other than the one you are studying.
