What This Module is About
Our human body is uniquely organized to perform astonishing functions. It is special
in many ways and yet completely ordinary in other ways. Humans are vertebrates under the
class mammalia. The organs and body systems of all kinds of mammals are quite similar. We
share a lot of similarities with other animals, like the anatomical structures and physiological
functions of our organ systems. Of course, there are many ways in which humans are
different from other animals.
This module demonstrates understanding on the unique characteristics of each organ
systems commonly found in both humans and animals. Do you think animals differ in their
structures and functions of these organ systems? How each of this organ systems become
unique from each animal? Thus, this module will provide you with the important concepts on
the similarities and differences of the organ systems specifically the respiratory and digestive
systems of some animals. Moreover, the function of these organ systems will be thoroughly
discussed to give you a clear picture of how crucial they are in the animal’s survival.

The following are the lessons contained in this module:

 Lesson
Organ Systems in
1 Representative Animals

What I Need to Know

Animal cells need constant supply of nutrients such as water, oxygen,

carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and vitamins (Weigel 2018,1). They must also
eliminate waste products like carbon dioxide and nitrogen-containing compounds. But
how it is possible to take place?

In single-celled organism, exchange of materials occurs directly with the

external environment. However, multicellular animals cannot exchange materials this
way. Instead, various organ systems perform functions of exchange. The different
parts and organs of each organ systems play a very important role in the unique
characteristic and function in keeping animals alive.

This lesson will discuss the unique characteristics of the different organ
systems of some animals. It will also give impressions on how some animals from
varied habitats differ in their ways of exchanging gases from their body and the
environment. It will further illustrate the different digestive systems of some animals
and will give you an idea on why some animals can digest food easily than other
animals.

What’s In

You have learned from Module 11 how genetic engineering affects the genetic
make-up of organisms. There are techniques being applied to have a genetically
engineered organism. Though, GMOs posed some points of discussion with regards
to the disadvantages, still, scientists do research in order to enhance yield in
agriculture, advancements in medicine, and enforce bioremediation techniques to
restore the environment. Generally, this scientific advancement is for the perpetuation
of life.

Module 12, however, will focus on how animal survive. Lesson 1 explains the
organ systems in representative animals. In this way, we can explain how the systems
work and appreciate how animals are biologically organized.

What is it

The organs you have identified in Learning Activity 1 play very important role in
carrying out a specific function of an organ system. Organ system is a set of organs
that that work together to perform an intricate function in the body (Brouhard 2020,1).
The heart for example is the main organ of the circulatory system. Are there other
organs which help the heart in carrying out the task for the function of the circulatory
system? Can you name some of them? Can you name other organ systems aside
from the circulatory system?
 2

Below is the list of the different and unique organ systems of some animals.
Each system is made up of different parts or organs that perform different tasks to
carry out a specific function to ensure survival of animals. In the more advanced
animals, these are the organ systems: respiratory, circulatory, nervous, digestive,
endocrine, reproductive, muscular, immune, lymphatic, skeletal, and urinary systems
( Augustyn 2020,1).

What is It

The activity shows some of our daily activities made possible due to the function
of the different organ systems. The functions of each organ system overlap, and the
body of an organism could not function completely without the cooperation of all organ
systems, yet each organ system has a distinct and unique characteristic that perform
a specific function for the survival of an organism.

The Unique Characteristic and Functions of the Different Organ Systems

ORGAN SYSTEM FUNCTIONS

Transports nutrients, gases (oxygen and

Circulatory System carbon dioxide), hormones, and wastes
throughout the body.
Digestive System Converts air, food and water into building
materials for living tissue. Breaks down
food, absorbs nutrients and eliminates
wastes.
Lymphatic System Destroys and removes invading
microbes and viruses. Removes fat and
excess fluids from the blood
. Provides structure and mobility, and
Muscular/Skeletal System even controls the movement of materials
through some organs.
Nervous System Relays electrical signals, directs
behavior and movement, and helps
control physiological processes such as
digestion, circulation, respiration, etc.
Reproductive/Endocrine System Manufactures cells that create and
support new life. Regulates hormones
and relays chemical messages
throughout the body.
Respiratory System Provides oxygen and gas exchange
between the blood and the environment.
Urinary System/Excretory System Filters wastes, toxins, excess water and
nutrients from the circulatory system

Learning Activity 3: Where do I belong?

Directions: The table below is divided into four, according to

four basic types of digestive system. Group the given list of animals
according to the type of their digestive system. Samples were given
below.
Chicken cow humans pig bird
cat hog sheep dog duck
rabbit hamster earthworm horses goat

MONOGASTRIC AVIAN RUMINANT PSEUDO-

RUMINANT

Humans Bird goat Horse

What is It

Other animals can digest food better than the others due to the type of digestive
system they have. There are four basic types of digestive systems; monogastric,
avian, ruminant, and pseudo-ruminant (Gallagher 2020,1).
1. A monogastric digestive system has one simple stomach that secretes
acid. This acid destroys most bacteria in the stomach and break down the
foods into its simplest form. They can easily digest foods with high in energy
and low in fiber.
 6
2. The avian digestive system is found in poultry, esophagus
animals that do not have teeth. They break their
food into small pieces by pecking it with their beaks crop
liver proventriculus
or scratching them before swallowing. Food enters
gizzard
the mouth, travels to the esophagus, and into the pancreas
crop. The crop is where the food is stored and
soaked. The food moves to the stomach of birds Small
called proventriculus where the gastric enzymes intestine
and hydrochloric acid are secreted. From there, the
food goes to the gizzard, a very muscular organ,
caeca
which contains stones that act like teeth to grind the Large
food. The food then moves to the small intestine intestine
cloaca
and to the large intestine. The food components
that cannot be digested move to the cloaca. Figure 1. digestive system of
a chicken

3. The ruminant digestive system has a large stomach divided into four
compartments—the rumen, the reticulum, the omasum, and the abomasum.
They are herbivores, which eat large amounts of fiber. Their digestive
system can digest large amount of cellulose. Their foods are not
chewed well and are swallowed in large quantities. The first compartment
of the stomach is the rumen which has millions of bacteria and microbes
that helps in the partial break down of foods. And since these animals do
not chew well their foods before swallowing, the reticulum traps foreign
materials, such as wire, and nails. From the reticulum, the digested cellulose
is swallowed into the omasum that removes
water and passes to abomasum where it is
digested by the enzyme produced by the
ruminant.

4. The Pseudo-ruminant digestive system is

found in animals that eat large amounts of fiber
but do not have stomach with several
compartments. The digestive system has the
same functions of those of ruminants.

7 Figure 2. digestive system of a goat

 Different types of Respiratory systems have evolved in animals. They all
function to exchange in oxygen and carbon dioxide with the environment and internal
fluids of the transport system. The gases are then transported to and from the tissue
where cell respiration occurs.

Small multicellular animals such as the

Hydra have no respiratory organs. Gases are
exchange directly by diffusion between the
organism and environment through the epidermal
cells. These animals have no need for a transport
system because all their cells are in contact with
the external environment. In an earthworm, the
surface of the skin has a film of moist, mucus-like
material where gas molecules dissolve and
diffuse.

More complex animals have specialized

surfaces where gas exchange takes place.
Organisms that live in different habitats have
different kinds of respiratory surfaces. The gills of
some aquatic animals like crustaceans, mollusks
provide a large respiratory surface. Oxygen and
Figure 3. exchange of oxygen
carbon dioxide are exchange between the blood and carbon dioxide gas in hydra
surrounding the gills and the watery environment.

Land dwelling insects have developed a system of air tubes called trachea. Air
enter the insect’s body through openings called spiracles along the side of the body.
From these openings, the trachea branch into smaller tubes that have direct contact
with the cells. Thus, the cells easily receive oxygen and give off carbon dioxide by
diffusion through the walls of the air tubes. The insect’s respiratory system is not
connected to its circulatory system.

 Coordination of Organ Systems
Lesson for Animals’ Survival
2
What’s In

You feel very hungry as you smell a fried chicken from the fast food in front your school.
You are catching your breath and your heart beats fast as you hurriedly walk in going home.
Can you name the different organs you use? You use many organs in the given situation such
as nose in the respiratory system, brain in the nervous system when it recognizes the smell
of a fried chicken. When your stomach of the digestive system feels hungry, you use muscles
and bone in going home and your heart in the circulatory system as it is beating fast.

In lesson 1, you have learned the different organs and parts of an organ system. Each
organ helps in the function of a specific organ system. At the same time, each organ system
works together with the other system to respond to a stimulus and perform a certain action.

What I Need to Know

In a functional group, members should work together to achieve a common set of

objectives. To be effective, they must relate very well with each other and to function, such
that the total effect is greater than the sum of the individual effects. The combined action or
efforts of the group members result to synergy. These same principles hold true for our organ
systems. All body system work in harmony for total health and well-being.

In this lesson, you will explore how organ systems work together to keep animals alive.
How heart work together with the accessory organs play a very important role in the circulatory
system. It will explain how the circulatory system work in harmony with the respiratory and
nervous systems. This lesson will also discuss why an individual must take good care of his
digestive system. How the digestive system affects the functions of the different organ
system?

Learning Activity 6: My Heart Rate

Procedures:

1. Find your pulse by lightly pressing the inside of

your wrist, just below the thumb (shown in image 1) Can
you feel the beat? To know your heart rate, use a watch
with a second hand and count how many beats you can
feel in one minute (60 seconds)? Record this number as
your one-minute pulse rate while resting______

2. Jog in place for 30 seconds and count how many

Photo Credits: Sheila San Abrea
beats can you feel in one minute. Record this as number
as your one-minute pulse rate when you are active___________

What is It
The different organ system works together to perform different
tasks to ensure survival of animals including humans. The number of pulse rate you
counted while resting in Activity 6 are fewer compare when you do the jog in place.
While resting, the pulse rate usually ranges from 70 to 100 beats per minute. But when
you do things that required more energy, the heart pumps faster to supply your blood
enough oxygen that your body needs. The heart is the central organ of the circulatory
system (Hoffman 2014, 2). Your heart is like a two pump in one. It is a little larger than
your fist that continuously forces blood through the lungs, and then through the
arteries, capillaries, and veins that make up the rest of the circulatory system. The
right side of the heart receives blood from the body and pumps it to the lungs. While
the left side of the heart receives blood from the lungs and pumps it out to the body.
The expansion and contraction of the heart as it sends blood through the body is your
heartbeat. The average heartbeat is about 100,000 times every day, pumping about
2,000 gallons of blood.

The heart pumps the blood and with the assistance of the blood vessels in the
circulatory system, distributes the oxygen filled blood to the different parts of the body.
It also collects waste products and deliver it to the kidney of your excretory system
and lungs of the respiratory system for waste disposal. It supplies the brain with blood
carrying enough amount of oxygen and in return the brain regulates the heart rate and
the blood pressure of the circulatory system. The brain in the nervous system is being
protected by the bone of your skull (Squire 2013,385-870). Yet it controls the
movement of your muscles and bones. When someone smell his favorite food., the
brain recognizes and interprets giving signals to the digestive system that he is hungry
and must eat.

 What’s More

Learning Activity 7: Please Take Good Care of Me!

Directions: Enumerate ways on how you can take good care of

your digestive system. Write your answer on separate sheet of
paper.

What Is It

Food is broken down by the digestive system into simple substances to enable
the body to use them for energy and for future needs, and to keep the body healthy.
Accessory digestive organs are connected to the main system by a series of ducts
such as: salivary glands, parts of the pancreas, liver and gall bladder. Most absorption
of the digested molecules into the blood occurs in the small intestine through the villi.
The villi contain many small blood vessels called capillaries.

When brain in the nervous system transmits signals of being hungry, we can
feel painful sensations, such as a headache and stomach cramps. This time, one
must really eat. It is very important that the digestive system is healthy and functioning
well. The nutrients from the food we eat is used for energy, growth and cell repair. If
the digestive system fails its function, the process of digesting food into its simplest
form for nutrient absorption fails, all other organs also fails in their functions causing
many illnesses in the body of an individual.
