Form 2 Chapter 8

This document is a chapter from a Form 2 science textbook about support systems in organisms. It contains diagrams and questions about the support systems of plants, animals, and humans. It discusses the skeletal, circulatory, and other systems that provide support for organisms. The chapter compares and contrasts the different types of support systems found across the plant and animal kingdoms, including axial and appendicular skeletons, hydrostatic skeletons, and exoskeletons. It also addresses how whales are able to support their large bodies despite having small vestigial limbs.
