 What I Need to Know
Hello there, Buddy! Do you ask yourself about the different major organs that
work together to make the body function properly? Do you even know the functions of
each main organ? Your young mind may have many questions because you are so
curious about it.
This module will help you discover answers to the questions you have about
yourself.
After going through this module, you are expected to:
1. Describe the main function of the major organs of the human body. (S4LT-
IIa-b-1)
2. Communicate that the major organs work together to make the body function
properly. (S4LT-IIa-b-2)

Activity 2. What am I?
Directions: Arrange the jumbled letters to form a word with a given clue. Write
your answer on the space provided before the number.
_________ 1. NTIESITNSE – its purpose is to digest food and also produces various
substances that carry messages to other parts of the body
_________ 2. ULGNS – its function is to process of gas exchange called respiration (or
breathing)
_________ 3. RBIAN – controls the voluntary activities of the body like thinking,
solving problems, and memorizing details and decision making
_________ 4. HAETR – pumps blood, allowing the distribution of nutrients in all parts
of the body
_________ 5. KDIYNES – filter or remove the waste materials called urine from our
body

 What Is It
Do you want to know the facts about the functions of the major organs of the
human body and how they work together to function properly? Here it is….

A. FUNCTIONS OF BONES AND MUSCLES

BONES MUSCLES

• Protect major organs of the body

skull – protects the brain • Allow the body to move
• Forms the fleshy parts
backbone – protects the spinal cord of the body
ribs – protect the heart and lungs • Give shape or forms
to the body
pelvic bone – support the body when we sit

B. FUNCTIONS OF STOMACH AND SMALL INTESTINE

STOMACH SMALL INTESTINE

• Store food • Breaks • Final

• Release down food digestion
food to the into takes place
intestines smaller
particles

C. FUNCTIONS OF LIVER

Filters the blood coming from the digestive tract, before passing
it to the rest of the body.

E. FUNCTIONS OF HEART AND LUNGS

• Pumps • Filters oxygen

actions sense of balance

Well done! You have just explored the facts about the functions of the major
organs of the human body and how they work together to function well. To test how
far you have learned, answer the activities below.

more bones.
3. The foods from the stomach will be digested in the small
intestines where the final digestion takes place.
4. The heart and lungs support each other to allow
distribution of nutrients and oxygen to all parts and
removal of carbon dioxide as a waste product in the body.
5. The brain controls the involuntary muscles of the body
and coordinates functions like beating of the heart and
breathing.
