1. Locate your pulse on your wrist using your index finger and middle finger.
2. Feel your pulse.
3. Set your timer to 1 minute and start counting your pulse.
4. Repeat the steps after doing the jumping jacks.
5. Compare your pulse rate at rest and after the jumping jacks.
Pulse rate
At rest
After doing the jumping jacks

What have you observed after doing this activity?

______________________________________________________________________________

5
 What is It

The activity that you have done has something to do with our lesson for today.
What do you feel, do you get tired? Heartbeat and pulse rate increase after doing an
exercise. Heart and lungs are doubling their job when you do tiring activities. To maintain
the balance in our body, the heart, and lungs function double time. That is to ensure we are
receiving enough oxygen all throughout our body.
The major organ for circulation is the heart. It is a muscular organ about the size of
a fist, located just behind and slightly left of the breastbone. The beating of the heart is a
result of the contraction of the heart muscle.
The lungs are pairs of spongy tissue responsible for breathing. It is the lungs which
supply oxygen and gets rid of carbon dioxide in our body. These are the processes involved
in the so-called respiration.
The heart and lungs work together to ensure there is enough oxygen needed by the
body to make it function well. The right side of our heart picks up the deoxygenated blood
and pumped it to the lungs to get some oxygen. After the blood has obtained oxygen again,
the left side of the heart pumps it to the heart and to other parts of the body. Thus, the heart
and lungs needed each other so the body functions well. If one of the organs are injured or
unhealthy, obtaining oxygen and nutrients throughout the body would be affected.

 Lesson

5 Function of the Brain

The organ that controls every single action in our body is the brain. It is
responsible for the actions that we do. It has something to do with how we act and
react to certain things or conditions. Without the brain, we may not be able to do
anything.

What’s In

the function of the lungs. Write your answers on a clean sheet of paper.

1. It pumps the blood throughout the body.

2. It collects blood to be oxygenated in the lungs.

3. It supplies our body with oxygen.

4. It gets rid of the carbon dioxide in the body.

5. It transports nutrients to the body.

6. It is responsible for the circulation of the blood.

7. It is responsible for respiration.

8. It is the reason why we breathe.

9. It is the organ that pumps blood.

fragrant flower chirping bird sour vinegar white socks

red balloon bitter vegetable violin playing sticky rice cake
smooth floor stingy garbage delicious meal bland dish
sweet chocolate coarse salt bright sunny day baby cologne

sight touch taste hear smell

What is It

What strategy did you use to make the activity easily? What part of your body
makes you do your activity well aside from your hands that write? Do you know, our
brain is working in every activity that we are doing? Brain is a powerful organ, if it stops
working, we will be nothing. We can be considered dead because we cannot do anything.
Brain basically functions as the control center of the body. It controls our sense organs.
It controls our feelings and emotion. It controls our bones and muscles. It controls our
reaction. It controls voluntary actions; actions that you control such as walking, running,
eating, snapping of fingers, nodding and many others.

12
 It also controls involuntary actions or the action that you cannot control or those
you never think of doing, such as blinking of your eyes, swallowing, breathing, salivation,
sneezing, defecation, hiccups, coughing, and many others. It helps maintain a person’s
balance. It connects the brain to the spinal cord. It controls activities like thinking, solving
problems, memorizing, and decision-making.

Notes to the Teacher

This module is prepared to make the learners understand the
human body deeply. This is intended for them to identify the
function of each organ and explain how it works together with
other organs in the body to make it perform well. Specifically, the
brain, what is its function, and how it works with other organs of
the body.
