# SAP2: Skin, Skeletal & Muscular Systems

Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to analyze the structure and function of the integumentary, skeletal, and muscular systems.

- Subject: Science
- Appears in: High School, https://georgiahomeroom.org/standards/science/high-school.md

## Expectations

- **SAP2.a**: Construct an explanation about the relationship between the structures of the integumentary system and their role in protection, eliminating waste products, and regulating body temperature.
- **SAP2.b**: Develop and use models to relate the structure of the skeletal system to its functional role in movement, protection, and support.
- **SAP2.c**: Develop and use models to determine the relationship between structures of the muscular system and their role in movement and support.
- **SAP2.d**: Ask questions about how the interdependence of the integumentary, skeletal, and muscular systems makes support, protection, and movement possible. (Clarification statement: Questions should address the homeostatic mechanisms, as well as the effects of and responses to aging, diseases, and disorders).
