For this discussion, you will choose and locate two body systems. Then, for each chosen body system you will:

Guided Response: Read several of your classmates’ posts and respond to two students who have chosen different systems. What did you already know about these systems, their functions, and organs? What research were you not aware of before studying your peers’ posts? Each peer response should be at least 100 words in length.
Carefully review the Discussion Forum Grading Rubric for the criteria that will be used to evaluate this Discussion Thread.
