How the Different Organ Systems Work Together

Background Information for Learners

We learned from the previous lesson that each organ system of the body has their
own specific functions. Communication among organ system is important if they are to
work together as a team. They must be able to respond to each other to perform a specific
task to normally keep our body in balance. In this lesson we will explore how the different
organ systems work together to accomplish their task in order to maintain our bodily
functions well.

Muscular and Skeletal Systems

The muscular and skeletal systems work together to support and move the body.
The bones of the skeletal system are responsible for our body’s framework and serve as
protection to most internal body organs while the muscles are the ones which give shape
to the body. The joints help attached bones to another bone for flexibility and movement
of the body.

Digestive, Circulatory, Respiratory, Excretory and Integumentary Systems

Organ systems working together carry out important tasks to the body. The
respiratory system carries oxygen to the lungs and removes carbon dioxide from the
blood. The circulatory system transports dissolved gases and nutrients throughout the

body. The digestive system breaks down food, absorbs nutrients, and eliminates solid
wastes.
The illustration below shows how the respiratory, circulatory and digestive systems
work together.

The respiratory, circulatory and digestive systems work together in order for the
nutrients to be delivered throughout the body. The respiratory system supplies oxygen to
the digestive system in order to breakdown food. At the same time the respiratory system
provides oxygen for the heart to function well. It is then the circulatory system’s
responsibility to distribute the oxygen and nutrients supplied by the respiratory and
digestive systems to the different parts of the body.

Digestion process starts when the food we eat is broken down and transformed
into nutrients as it passes through the different digestive organs. The blood of the
circulatory system transports these nutrients to the cells throughout the body. At the same
time, as the blood delivers nutrients, it collects wastes from the different parts of the body
for kidneys and other excretory organs to filter and remove waste materials.

What happens when one organ system fails to perform its function?

The organ systems work together to keep the normal balance of our body, however
when one fails to function properly, the other body systems are affected. For example,
when kidneys fail to filter blood a person may have difficulty urinating and may result to
other ailments because of non-removal of waste materials in the blood. Furthermore,
problems in blood circulation can lead to swelling because of water and fluid retention. In
cases where there is a problem in the digestive system, this could lead to a person’s
weight loss because of the difficulty in obtaining nutrients from food.

Learning Competency with Code:

Explain how the organs of each organ system work together. (S6LTIIc-d-2.4)

Activity 1 – Arrange the process

Directions: Arrange the following statements according to the process on how the
respiratory, digestive and circulatory system work together. Number each step
according to the sequence it occurs. Use numbers 1-5.

____ Water is absorbed.

____Food is broken into smaller pieces.

____Nutrients pass through the blood stream.

____Wastes are removed from the body.

____Food is liquefied and digested into forms that the cells of the body can use.

Activity 2 – Fill me up.

Directions: Fill in the blanks with the correct words. Choose your answers from the word
bank below.

The 1.)______________ carries oxygen to the lungs and 2.) ______________

carbon dioxide from the blood. The 3.)______________ transports dissolved gases and
nutrients throughout the body. The 4.)__________________ breaks down food, absorbs
nutrients, and 5.) ______________ solid waste. Organ systems 6.)______________
together carry out important tasks in the body. The circulatory system 7.)
______________ oxygen to all the organs of the body for 8.)______________, while also
taking carbon dioxide to the lungs. The organ systems work together to keep the normal
balance of our body, however when one fails to function properly, the other body systems
are 9.) _______________ thus, human health can 10.) ______________.
