ELS - Q2 - Week 5b
Learning Competency:
- Analyze and appreciate the functional relationships of the different organ systems
in ensuring animal survival (MELC S11/12LT-IIIaj- 22)
- Time Allotted: 2 hours
Specific Objectives
- Determine the organ systems involved from eating and digesting food to the
removal of waste.
- Connect the relationship of one organ system to other organ systems.
Key Concepts
- Systemic Circulation carries oxygenated blood from the left ventricle, through the
arteries, to the capillaries in the tissues of the body. From the tissue capillaries, the
deoxygenated blood returns through a system of veins to the right atrium of the heart
(National Cancer Institute).
-The Circulatory System works closely with other systems in our bodies such as the
Nervous System, Muscular System and Respiratory System.
- Nervous System is made up of the brain, spinal cord and nerves. The brain sends
messages to the heart through the very tiny nerves that travels from the brain, spinal cord
and to your heart telling the heart to beat. The heart beat pumps blood throughout the body
so that nutrients and oxygen can be brought to cells and waste can be removed (Healthwise
Staff, 2019).
- Muscular System: The heart is a muscle. The expanding and contracting of this muscle
is what pumps blood throughout the body.
- The Respiratory System works directly with the Circulatory System to provide oxygen to
the body. Oxygen taken in from the Respiratory System passes through the thin lining of the
air sacs and moves into the blood vessels, this is known as diffusion. The oxygen in the blood
is then carried around the body to the bloodstream, reaching every cell (Informedhealth.org
2016).
Skeletal System Bones provide calcium that is essential for the proper
functioning of the nervous system.
The skull protects the brain from injury.
The vertebrae protect the spinal cord from injury.
Sensory receptors in joints between bones send signals
about body position to the brain.
The brain regulates the position of bones by controlling
muscles.

The Body in Motion
-Skeletal System is responsible for carrying
out actions and movements caused by messages
sent from our brains through our Nervous
System. The skeletal system works with the
Muscular System to help the body move.
Skeletal muscles are also responsible for
maintaining body posture.
-The Skeletal System supports and
protects the body’s internal organs. The ribs
protect the abdominal organs, which are both
vulnerable to injury and dangerous to our well
being when injured. The skull protects our brain
which controls all functions of our bodies and
minds. The skeleton provides the framework Figure12. The Musculoskeletal System
and shape to our bodies. It also connects to our Source: Coursehero.com
major muscles to allow movement

Exercises / Activities
Guide Questions:
Directions: Write your answers in three sentences only.

carrot/food until its removal as waste materials?
Guide Questions:
Directions: Write your answers in three sentences only.
