Organ Systems
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 of the
class mammalian. 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 both in humans and animals.
Are there differences between the structures and functions of these organ systems
among animals? How each organ systems become unique from different animals? This
module will help provide you key concepts on the similarities and differences of the
respiratory and digestive systems of some animals.
Are these organ systems independently working from one another? Can animals
function and survive in the absence of any of these organ systems? If it cannot, then how do
they work together? How do each organ interact with each other? This module will explore
how the organ systems are interconnected and work together to ensure the survival of
animals.

The following are the lessons contained in this module:

• Lesson 1- The General and Unique Characteristics of the Different Organ Systems
in Representative Animals

 Lesson Title of the Lesson
1 The General and Unique Characteristics of the Different
Organ Systems In Representative Animals

What I Need to Know

Animal cells need constant supply of nutrients such as water, oxygen, carbohydrates,
lipids, proteins, and vitamins. They must also eliminate waste products like carbon dioxide
and nitrogen-containing compounds.
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 concepts on how some animals from varied habitats differ in
their ways of exchanging gases from their body and environment. It will further illustrate the
different digestive systems of some animals, and will give your idea on why some animals
can digest food easily than other animals.

 What is it

The organs you have identified Activity 1 play a very important role in carrying out a
specific function of an organ system. Organ system is a group of organs that contribute to
specific function to the body. 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?
Below is the list of the different organ systems of some representative animals. Each
system is made up of different parts or organs that perform different tasks to carry out a
specific function in ensuring the survival of animals. In the more advanced animals, there are
usually 10 organ systems: integumentary (skin), skeletal, muscular, nervous,
endocrine, digestive, respiratory, circulatory, excretory (urinary), and reproductive.

ORGAN SYSTEM PARTS/ORGANS

Circulatory System Heart, Blood Vessels and Blood

Digestive System Mouth, Esophagus, Stomach, Liver, Gall

 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 system

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 even

Muscular/Skeletal System 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.

Activity 1.3: Where do you belong?

The table below is divided into four, according to the four basic types of digestive
system. Group the given list of animals according to the type of their digestive system. The
first ones are your examples.

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.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYHtuo0pdVg

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
 The avian digestive system is
found in poultry, animals that do not have
teeth. They break their food into small
esophagus
pieces by pecking it with their beaks or
scratching them before swallowing. Food crop
enters the mouth, travels to the esophagus, liver proventriculus
and into the crop. The crop is where the gizzard
pancreas
food is stored and soaked. The food moves
to the stomach of birds called
proventriculus where the gastric enzymes Small intestine
and hydrochloric acid are secreted. From
there, the food goes to the gizzard, a very
muscular organ, which contains stones that
caeca
act like teeth to grind the food. The food Large intestine
then moves to the small intestine and to cloaca
the large intestine. The food components
that cannot be digested move to the cloaca.
Figure 1. digestive system of a chicken

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 are
able to 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 Figure 2. digestive system of a cow
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.

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
 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.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8uvDxOY_EI

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 carbon dioxide are Figure 3. exchange of oxygen
exchange between the blood surrounding and carbon dioxide gas in hydra
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.

 Lesson Title of the Lesson
Importance of Functional Relationships of the
2 Different Organ Systems in Ensuring
Animal Survival

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 work together with the other system to respond to a stimuli and perform a certain
actions.

What I Need to Know

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

objectives. To be effective, they have to relate very well with each other and to function as a
whole, 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 together with the accessory organs play a very important role in the
circulatory system. It will explain how the circulatory system work well with the respiratory
system and with the nervous system. 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?

 What’s New

Activity 2.1: My Heart Rate

A. 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______

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

beats can you feel in one minute. Record this as number as
your one minute pulse rate when you are
active___________ Image 1

What is It
The different organ system work together to perform different tasks to ensure survival
of animals including humans.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWFyxn0qDEU

The the number of pulse rate you counted while resting in Activity 1 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 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 heart beats is
about 100,000 times every day, pumping about 2,000 gallons of blood.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIT-rxk0CFs

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. 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 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.
