CURRICULUM EXPECTATIONS
The following curriculum expectations come from the Ontario Ministry of Education's Grade 11 Science Curriculum for Grade 11 University Preparation of Biology SBI3U.
The subject matter pertaining to Anatomy and Physiology of the Circulatory System and can be found in Strand E: Animals: Structure and Function.
This section of the website will cover interaction of circulatory and respiratory systems, but will not be covering any of the curriculum expectations regarding any other body systems , as that information will be covered by other members of the class, either on this website for SBI3U or on the websites for SBI4U or SBI3C.

Big Ideas
Strand E: Animals: Structure and Function
- Groups of organs with specific structures and functions work together as systems, which interact with other systems in the body.
- The development and uses of technology to maintain human health are based, in part, on the changing needs of society.
Overall Expectations
E1. Analyze the social or economic impact of a technology used to treat systems in human body, and the impact of lifestyle choices on human health;
E2. Investigate, through laboratory inquiry or computer simulation, the anatomy, physiology, and response mechanisms of mammals;
E3. Demonstrate an understanding of the structure, function, and interactions of the circulatory, digestive and respiratory system of mammals.
Specific Expectations
E3.1 Describe the anatomy and physiology of the circulatory system (including the atrium, ventricles, valves, aorta, pulmonary artery, vena cava, capillaries, veins, arteries, blood cells, and platelets), the mechanisms of blood pressure, and the function of the spleen.
E3.4 Explain some of the mechanisms of interaction between a mammal's different body systems (e.g. the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the respiratory and circulatory system.
