Lesson 1
Organs of Each Organ System
that Work Together
MELC: Explain how the organs of each organ system work together S6LT-IIab-1

Objectives:
1. Identify the organs of each organ system (Circulatory System, Excretory
System, Respiratory System and Nervous System)
2. Describe the function of the organs of each organ system (Circulatory System,
Excretory System, Respiratory System and Nervous System)
3. Explain how the organs of each organ system work together (Circulatory
System, Excretory System, Respiratory System and Nervous System)

You have already learned in the previous

lesson the Musculoskeletal System, Integumentary
Organ System – a group of System, and Digestive System. There are still four
organs that work together to organ systems that you are going to discover. Get
perform a specific function. ready as you explore new ideas! This lesson will help
you appreciate your body more!
Enjoy learning!
The Circulatory System
It is composed of the heart, the blood vessels
(arteries, veins, capillaries), and the blood. It
is responsible for distributing nutrients,
oxygens, and other essential substances to
all parts of the body. The heart is a hollow
muscular organ located in the chest. It
allows the transport of blood throughout the
body. The blood vessels are blue lines below
the skin. They are tubes that serve as
passageways for blood to reach the different
parts of the body. There are three kinds of
blood vessels: the arteries carry blood away
from the heart, the veins return the blood to the heart, and the capillaries where
the exchange of nutrients and wastes takes place. The blood is made up of liquid
and solid substances. The liquid part of the blood contains plasma. It is made of
water, salts, and proteins. The solid part of the blood contains red blood cells, white
blood cells, and platelets. It is red because of the protein. Blood delivers vital
nutrients and oxygen to the different parts of the body.

1
The Excretory System

It is the system responsible for excreting most of the

liquid wastes from the body. Its main parts are kidneys,
ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra. The kidneys are
two bean-shaped organs on each side of the body that filter
and clean the blood to remove the waste substance. The
liquid waste of the body filtered through this system is
called urine. The ureters are tubes that are attached to
the kidneys. The urine flows out from the kidneys to the
urinary bladder through the two ureters. The urinary
bladder is a hollow muscular organ where urine is
temporarily stored. The urethra is a tube at the bottom of
the bladder and the urine leaves the body through
this. Urination is the process of eliminating urine.

The Respiratory System

Its primary function is to allow the exchange of
gases in the body. It distributes oxygen to the
different parts of the body and releases carbon
dioxide out of the body. Respiration begins when air
enters the nostrils and is filtered by cilia. The filtered
air then goes to the pharynx or throat cavity seen at
the back part of your mouth arch and into the larynx,
the voice box. From the larynx, the air proceeds to the
trachea (windpipe), then the bronchi, and finally, to
the finer tubes of the bronchioles. The actual
exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide takes place
within the alveoli of our lungs. The lungs are the
main organs for human respiration.

The Nervous System

It is made up of the brain, the spinal cord, and
nerve cells. Its main functions are to control,
monitor, and coordinate all body parts and
processes. The nerve cells or neurons consist
of the cell bodies that include the nucleus, a
major branching fiber (axon), and numerous
smaller branching fibers (dendrites). Nerve cells
carry and collect messages or nerve impulses.
The spinal cord is a long, fragile tubelike
structure enclosed in a backbone. It serves as a
pathway of messages to and from the brain.
The brain is a mass of nerve cells located in the
head. It is the control center of the body. Its
parts are the cerebrum, the largest structure,
the cerebellum, the second largest part, and the
medulla oblongata or brain stem that connects
the brain to the spinal cord.
