Introductory Message
These Learning Activity Sheets (LAS) were collaboratively designed, developed and
reviewed by teachers and program supervisors to assist the teacher or facilitator in
helping the learners meet the standards set by the K to 12 Curriculum while
overcoming their personal, social, and economic constraints in schooling.
This learning resource hopes to engage the learners into guided and independent
learning activities at their own pace and time. Furthermore, this also aims to help
them acquire the needed 21st century skills while taking into consideration their
needs and circumstances.
As a facilitator you are expected to orient the learners on how to use these learning
activity sheets. You also need to keep track of the learners' progress while allowing
them to manage their own learning. Furthermore, you are expected to encourage
and assist them as they do the tasks contained herein.
These learning activity sheets were designed to provide you with fun and
meaningful opportunities for guided and independent learning at your own pace
and time. You will be able to process the contents of this learning resource while
being an active learner.
These learning activity sheets have the following parts and corresponding icons:
If you find it difficult to answer the task/s in each activity, do not hesitate to
consult your teacher or facilitator. You can also seek help from your parents, your
older sibling/s or any of your housemates who is/are older than you. Always have
in mind that you are not alone. We hope that these will give you an experience of
meaningful learning and gain a deeper understanding of relevant competencies.
You can do it!

Skeletal System
The skeletal system consists of bones, joints, teeth. The bones of the
skeletal system are connected by tendons, ligaments, and cartilage.
Functions of the skeletal system include supporting the body and giving it
shape. Along with the muscular system, the skeletal system enables the
body to move. The bones of the skeletal system also protect internal organs,
store calcium, and produce red and white blood cells.
Integumentary System
Organs of the integumentary system include the skin, hair, and nails.
The skin is the largest organ in the body. It encloses and protects the body
and is the site of many sensory receptors. The skin is the body’s first
defense against pathogens, and it also helps regulate body temperature and
eliminate wastes in sweat.

Explain how the organs of each organ system work together. (MELC-
CG CODE: S6LT-IIa-b-1
Objectives:
Content Background:
Urinary System
The urinary system includes the pair of kidneys, which filter excess
water and a waste product called urea from the blood and form urine. Two
tubes called ureters carry the urine from the kidneys to the urinary bladder,
which stores the urine until it is excreted from the body through another
tube named the urethra. The kidneys also produce an enzyme called renin
and a variety of hormones. These substances help regulate blood pressure,
the production of red blood cells, and the balance of calcium and
phosphorus in the body.
Respiratory System
8
Organs and other structures of the respiratory system include the
nasal passages, lungs, and a long tube called the trachea, which carries air
between the nasal passages and lungs. The main function of the respiratory
system is to deliver oxygen to the blood and remove carbon dioxide from the
body. Gases are exchanged between the lungs and blood across the walls of
capillaries lining tiny air sacs (alveoli) in the lungs.
Nervous System
The nervous system includes the brain and spinal cord, which make
up the central nervous system, and nerves that run throughout the rest of
the body, which make up the peripheral nervous system. The nervous
system controls both voluntary and involuntary responses of the human
organism and also detects and processes sensory information.

One morning, Jude went to the barangay clinic to interview the nurse
for his assignment on the human urinary system.
10
Ms. De Vera: Oh, I see. The urinary system is made up of the following
parts: urinary bladder, ureter, and urethra.
Jude: Do the parts of the urinary system function the same?
Ms. De Vera: No, Jude. Each part plays its own function. The kidneys
filter the urea and excess salts from the blood. The
ureter carries waste from the kidneys to the bladder.
The urinary bladder is responsible in temporarily
holding the urine. The urethra carries off urine from the
bladder.
Jude: Thank you, Ms. De Vera. I learned a lot from you. Now I know
how the human urinary system works.
Ms. De Vera: You are welcome, Jude.

take in order to reach Mrs. Garcia’s House.
solving the maze? Now think of the similarity of the maze to the nervous
system. Can you guess which part of the nervous system each of the
following represents?
14
The brain has three main parts: cerebrum, cerebellum, and the
brain stem. The cerebrum is responsible for controlling speech, memory
and intelligence. The cerebellum controls movements and balance. The
brain stem connects the brain to the spinal cord. It maintains vital
automatic functions that include circulations and breathing.
1. Cerebrum
The art that receives sensory messages. It acts as the center of
emotions, consciousness, learning and voluntary movement. It is also
the largest part of the brain. It is divided into the right hemisphere
and the left hemisphere. The right hemisphere controls the left side of
the body. The cerebrum controls mental process such as thinking,
memorizing and decision making. All nerve impulses must reach the
cerebrum to be analyzed.
2. Cerebellum
Muscle movement is coordinated by cerebellum which means “little
brain”. The cerebellum is located beneath the cerebrum. It is smaller
than the cerebrum. It coordinates involuntary and muscular actions.
These are necessary in many activities, including sports and athletics.
The cerebellum is responsible for man’s ability to learn habits and
develop skills. It also helps maintain one’s sense of balance.
3. Brain stem
The brain stem of the central nervous system contains vital centers
for autonomic functions. The brain stem is the elongated area at the
base of the brain. The lower part of the brain stem is called medulla
oblongata. It is responsible for the control of several vital functions of
the heart, stomach, diaphragm, and esophagus.

Using the words in the box, complete the paragraph about the body
systems.
Cells are the basic building blocks of living organisms. Cells work
together with similar cells and form _________________. These tissues then
combine to form _________________, which in turn are connected together in
organ _________________. Your lungs, for example, are part of the
_________________ system, which is responsible for bringing oxygen into your
body and releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Your heart is part of
the _________________ system, which is responsible for circulating blood
containing food and oxygen to all of the cells in your body. Your stomach is
part of the _________________ system, which is responsible for breaking down
food so that your cells can use it. Your kidneys are part of the
_________________ system, which is responsible for eliminating waste from
your body. Your bones are part of the _________________ system, which give
your body structure. Your muscles are part of the _________________ system,
which allows your body to move. Your brain is part of the _________________,
which controls muscle movement and your senses. Finally, your glands are
part of the _________________ system, which produces hormones that
regulate your body.

_____ A. Water is absorbed.
_____ B. Food is broken into small pieces.
_____ C. Nutrients pass through the blood stream.
_____ D. Waste are removed from the body.
_____ E. Food is liquefied and digested into forms that cell can use.
Digestive system breaks down large molecules (e.g. starch) into simple
molecules such as glucose. These are then transported to cells of the body
via the circulatory system.
The Respiratory System causes the diffusion of oxygen into the blood and
the diffusion of CO2 out of the blood. This oxygen is then transported to
cells of the body via the circulatory system.
The Circulatory System contains heart and all the blood vessels. It is
responsible for movement of blood, nutrients and gases. Heart pumps blood
to lungs to receive oxygen and then to the rest of the body.
When the cells have both oxygen and glucose, they can respire to release
energy, producing water and carbon dioxide (the CO2 is carried through the
circulatory system to the lungs where it is removed through the respiratory
system.
