Science wk5 Functional Relationship of The Organsystem

The document discusses the functional relationships between organ systems in the human body. It describes how the digestive system absorbs nutrients from food, which are then distributed by the circulatory system. Hormones carried by the circulatory system help control digestion by signaling the pancreas, stomach, and other organs.

FUNCTIONAL RELATIONSHIP OF

THE ORGAN SYSTEMS


Learning Competency:

-Analyze and appreciate the functional relationships of the different organ systems in
ensuring animal survival (MELC S11/12LT-Iilaj-22)

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
In Biological definition, Physiology is the scientific study of function
among living organisms that explain the physical as well as the
chemical factors responsible for the development, origin and
progression of life. Our body composed of many organ systems
designed to carry out the tasks in order for our body to survive. These
organ systems should work/operate harmoniously with each other.
This harmony is known as Homeostasis. Homeostasis came from the
Greek words for “same” and “steady,” which refers to any process that
living things use to actively maintain fairly stable conditions necessary
for survival (Cannon, 1930). The term was coined in 1930 by the
physician Walter Cannon in his book, “The Wisdom of the Body”.
Scientifically, all the organs and tissues in our body function to
maintain homeostasis.
There are eleven systems in the human body: Muscular
System, Respiratory System, Digestive System,
Integumentary System, Skeletal System, Circulatory (or
cardiovascular) System, Excretory (or urinary) System,
Reproductive System, Nervous System, Lymphatic
System, and Endocrine System. Each system has a
special job. All of your body systems have to work
together to keep you alive and healthy. For example
your bones and muscles work together to support and
move your body.

Food to Cells

- The Digestive System


function to absorb water
and nutrients from the
food we eat. The
absorbed nutrients will
then be distributed
throughout the body
through the help of the
Circulatory System.
-The Circulatory System carries
chemical signals (hormones) from
our endocrine system that control
the speed of digestion.
-The hormones that control
digestion are
gastrin, secretin, and
cholecystokinin (CCK):

-Gastrin causes the stomach to


produce an acid for dissolving and
digesting some foods. It is also
necessary for the normal growth of
the lining of the stomach, small
Intestine, and colon. Secretin causes the
pancreas to send out a digestive juice that is
rich in bicarbonate. It stimulates the stomach
to produce pepsin, an enzyme that digests
protein, and it
also stimulates the liver to produce
bile. CCK causes the pancreas to grow and to
produce the enzymes of pancreatic juice, and it
causes the gallbladder to empty (International
Foundation for Gastrointestinal Disorders,
2019).
- Finger-like projections called villi that line
the walls of the small intestine absorbed
nutrients into capillaries of the circulatory
system and then distributed the nutrients
throughout the body.
