Science Grade 6 – Q2 – Week 3

INTRODUCTORY CONCEPT

Humans are considered as the most complex living things because we are
composed of different organ systems. Each part of the body system does a special
job as it coordinates with one another to perform specific function. These specific
tasks carried out by the body enables us to grow, breathe, move, and perform
activities such as dancing, jumping and texting.

Different major organs of the body worked together to keep our body alive and
produce different movements with specific functions and coordination yielding
desired result. The following are the body system and their specific functions:

This learner’s packet will identify the different body systems and explain their
specific functions. Have fun while learning!

 C. ELABORATE
The following are the body system and their specific functions:

MUSCULO-SKELETAL SYSTEM
The musculo-skeletal system provides support to the body and enables the
body to produce movement. Bones in the body (skeletal system), muscles (muscular
system), the cartilage, tendons, ligaments, joints, and other connective tissue that
supports and binds tissues and organs together comprise the musculo-skeletal
system.
Muscular System. All muscles in the body make up the muscular system
which allow us to move. These consists of the three types of muscles, the cardiac
muscles that controls the heart, smooth muscles control involuntary movement of the
digestive tract, blood vessels, and bladder, and the skeletal muscles are voluntary
muscles controlled to move bones.

Skeletal System. All the bones in the body make up the skeletal system, which
protects internal organs and supports the body. It also produces millions of blood
cells needed by the body.

INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM
The integumentary system serves as body covering that provides protection to
our body against microorganisms, temperature, and acts as receptor for touch. The
skin is composed of tough skin cells and tough protein called keratin that protect
tissues, organs, and other structures underneath the skin against physical damage
from minor cuts.

DIGESTIVE SYSTEM
Digestive system works in digesting food into substances that can be absorbed by
the body. Digestion begins in the mouth by breaking food by means of cutting,
tearing, and grinding known as mechanical digestion. The breakdown of food into
smaller molecules by enzymes found in the digestive system is known as chemical
digestion. Final digestion of food takes place in the small intestine and absorption of
nutrients happen.

6_Q2_LP
 RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
Respiratory system is responsible for the exchange of gases such as carbon-
dioxide to oxygen in the bloodstream. Respiratory process starts from the nostrils,
pharynx, to the trachea, into the bronchi and to the lungs.

CIRCULATORY SYSTEM
Circulatory system is a transport system of the body responsible for the
distribution of nutrients to the cells and carries away the wastes product of the cells.
The heart is the vital organ in the circulatory system that pumps blood to all body
parts. The blood vessels are the railway station of the blood which enable blood to
reach different parts of the body. Blood is another component of the circulatory
system as it circulates to all parts of the body. It transports oxygen from the lungs to
the cells and carries the waste materials from the cells.

NERVOUS SYSTEM
Nervous system is the control unit of the body thus it regulates and coordinates
body processes. It has two major divisions: the central nervous system (CNS)
composed of brain and spinal cord and the peripheral nervous system (PNS)
consists mainly of nerves that connects the CNS with the rest of the body. Its major
parts are the brain, spinal cord, and neurons or nerve cells.

c. carrying message to the brain
d. carrying wastes product of the cells

4. How does circulatory system work together with respiratory system?

a. Circulatory system breaks down food to be absorbed by the respiratory
system as it provides oxygen to the cells.
b. Circulatory system carries nutrients to the respiratory system as it
provides oxygen to the circulatory system.
c. Circulatory system carries message to the respiratory as it provides
oxygen to the circulatory system.
d. Circulatory system carries oxygen to the cells of respiratory system as it
provides nutrients to the circulatory system.

5. How does digestive system work together with respiratory and circulatory
systems?
a. Digestive system digests food to be carry out by the circulatory system to
the respiratory system as it provides oxygen to the digestive system.
b. Digestive system digests food to be carry out by the respiratory system
to the circulatory system as it provides oxygen to the digestive system.
c. Digestive system carries nutrients to the circulatory system, while
circulatory system digests food for the digestive system as it provides
oxygen.
d. Digestive system provides food and oxygen to the circulatory and
respiratory system.
