Target
The human body is like a machine which is uniquely designed

to perform different tasks. It is made up of many cells that form
tissues and organs playing different roles. Organs also work in group
to form different organ systems. Each internal organ of the human
body has different parts that perform specific functions for the
continuance of life.
In the next lesson, you can do activities which may help you
describe the main function of the major organ as well as to give you the
knowledge on how these major organs work together to make the
body function properly.
Learning Objectives:
➢ Describe the main function of the major organs. SALT-11a-b-
1
➢ Communicate that the major organs work together to make
the body function properly. SALT-11a-b-2

Bones, Joints and Muscles
Let’s Learn
You have a wonderful body. Its parts can perform different

activities. What enables your body to do these?
There are different systems in your body. Each system is made up

of different organs that work together to do specific functions. Each
organ in the system is as important as the others. If an organ cannot
work well, the whole system will not work effectively.
In this lesson you will learn more about the system that makes up
the framework of your body and enables you to move and protect your
delicate organs.

The skull helps protect the brain. The backbones protect

the spinal cord. The ribs form a protective cave around the heart
and lungs. The pelvic bones support our body when we sit
The bones in our body are also connected with each other.
The point where two bones meet and connect is called joint. Ball-
and-socket joints are the ones found in our shoulder and hip
joints Our joints and muscles allow our bones to move. The
movements of our body originate in our joints.
Muscles enable our body to move. They also give shape
and forms to our body and protect delicate organs. Muscles are
voluntary or involuntary.
Voluntary muscles are attached to bones. They hold
the bones of the skeleton and give shape to the body. The body
moves with the help of these muscles. Voluntary muscles are
muscles that you have the ability to consciously control, like
your arms, legs, face muscles, etc.
Involuntary muscles are controlled by nervous system
and cannot be controlled like the smooth muscles in the walls of
many internal organs such as stomach, esophagus, diaphragm
and walls of the blood vessel.

Let’s Learn
The food we eat gives us energy to work and play. Without food,
the other parts of the body like bones and muscles and the internal
organs do not have energy to function. However, before our body
can make use of any food that is eaten, it must be broken down into
liquid or into smaller nutrients. The process by which food is
broken down into nutrients is called digestion.
In this lesson, you will learn more about our digestive organs.
Try to discover how the different parts of the digestive system do their
functions and how they work together for the body.
Get ready and answer the questions that follow:
Jumpstart
Quick Check!
1. Have you ever wondered what happens to the food you eat?
2. Which body system do the function of digesting the food?
3. How does food help you?
Discover
Learning Circuit!
Digestion takes place as soon as we start to chew our food.

The tongue, lips and cheeks move the food between the teeth to
break it down into small pieces. Saliva from the salivary glands
mixes with the food to soften it. Saliva also kills bacteria and breaks
down starches into sugars. So digestion of starches starts in the
mouth. Moist chewed food from the mouth goes down to the
esophagus then to the stomach.
In the stomach, food is broken down into smaller particles.
The stomach is a large organ that is lined with layers and muscles.
As the muscles contract and relax, food in the stomach is squeezed,
twisted and churned. While the food is being physically changed in
the stomach, digestive enzymes and juices are also combined to
change it into nutrients. The process of digestion is both
mechanical and chemical. The mechanical part breaks down food
into small bits such as chewing of food in the mouth and squeezing
of food particles in the stomach. The chemical part of digestion is
the mixing food particles with chemicals in the saliva and stomach
which changes it into nutrients that can be absorbed by the body.
Further action of enzymes in the small intestine completes the
process of chemical digestion. Food stays in the stomach for four
hours until the food turns into a thick liquid. The food that has been
moistened, chewed in the mouth and mixed with chemicals or
enzymes in the stomach goes into your small intestine.
The Small intestine is about 2.5 cm wide and 7 m long
coiled tube where food is finally digested and absorbed. The walls of
the small intestine are made of muscles that squeeze food and
continuously move it. It contains digestive juices and other
enzymes that help break the food into nutrients. Thus, final
digestion takes place in the small intestine. The nutrients are then
absorbed by the small intestines then go into your blood stream.
The blood carries these nutrients to the different parts of the body.

The human body needs the filtering machine for our blood in
order to become healthy. The kidneys play a vital role for human
survival.
In this lesson, you will learn more about our kidneys as well
as their functions into our body.

Jumpstart
Quick Check!
❖ Do you have a kidney?
❖ How often do you urinate in a day?
❖ Have you asked yourself where our urine come from?

❖ How do you take good care of your kidneys?
Discover
Learning Circuit
The kidneys are bean-shaped paired organs which are about

four to five inches long and two to three inches wide.
The right kidney is slightly lower due to the presence of liver on
the right region of our body. The kidneys remove urea from the blood
through tiny units called nephrons.
They are the major organs of the urinary system. They perform
two major functions. First, they remove liquid waste from the blood in
the form of urine. Second, they also keep stable balance of salts and
other substances in the blood and produce a hormone that aids the
formation of blood cells.
The major metabolic wastes produced by our body are
filtered by kidneys in the blood like salts, water, and nitrogenous
waste.
Keeping a Balance
Another important function of the kidneys is to control the level

of fluid of the body and help in the reabsorption of water, glucose, and
amino acids. This kind of balance in the body is called homeostasis.
Your body takes in water or any other liquids when you drink and eat
food like fruits and vegetables which are good sources of water.

The human body needs a heart to pump blood throughout the

body and is located behind the breastbone between the lungs.
Deoxygenated blood from all parts of the body flows from the heart to
the lungs where it gives up wastes and is freshly oxygenated. From
there, the blood returns to the heart and is pumped to the rest of the
body.
In the lesson, you will learn more about the functions of the
heart and lungs as well as on how they work together to make sure
the blood has oxygen needed by the body to function properly.
Get ready and answer the questions the follow:

Discover
Learning Circuit!
The heart is a hollow muscular organ located between the
lungs and it is protected by the rib cage. It is about the size of
your fist and is located in the middle of the chest cavity. The
beating of the heart is due to the contraction of your heart
muscles. The cardiac muscles contract involuntarily. The word
cardiac refers to the heart. This means its contractions cannot
be controlled by your will. It continues to pump blood if the
person lives. It pumps blood even when you are sleeping.
The contraction continues allowing the heart to receive
oxygen from the lungs and continues to contract and pump
blood to the rest of the body parts including the lungs through
blood vessels. The lungs filter the oxygen that enters our body
because it contains a filtering structure to ensure that the heart
receives clean oxygen from the lungs. The carbon dioxide, as a
waste material of the body is removed from the body through the
lungs.
The heart and lungs support each other to allow
distribution of nutrients and oxygen to all parts of the body and the
removal of carbon dioxide as a waste product of the body.
