BASIC ANIMAL SENSE PARTS/ORGANS

I. GENERAL DISCUSSION

Animal bodies are similar to a well-designed machine in function and form. These bodies have
many components and elements that work interdependent of each other. In humans, the systems, organs,
tissues, and cells in our body work as a unit and like a machine, it needs protection, and proper maintenance.

Human beings are one of the most complicated organisms on this planet. However, like other
animals, we are also just composed of cells structured into tissues, tissues structured into organs, and organs
structured into organ systems. Without these systems, life wouldn't be possible – we will fail to breathe,
our hearts will stop and we cannot move. Knowledge of how they keep us alive is important.

The major biological systems in our body are in charge of digestion, blood circulation, sense, and
excretion among all others. However, these systems are not just for survival, but also allow us to “fully
live.” These organ systems allow us to hear music, smell the flowers, see colors, form memories, feel pain,
dance and learn. The design of our bodies is really brilliant. Knowing all the systems and their structures
and functions can facilitate us to perceive that our bodies are sacred and deserves to be taken care of.

II. DEFINITION OF TERMS

1. Organ system - is a group of tissues that perform similar functions

2. Animal- refers to any of the eukaryotic multicellular organisms of the biological kingdom
Animalia generally characterized to be heterotrophic, motile, having specialized sensory organs,
lacking cell wall, and growing from a blastula during embryonic development.
3. Sense organs- the organs of special sense, including the eye, ear, olfactory organ, taste organs,
and the accessory structures associated with these organs.
4. Adaptation- the adjustment or changes in behavior, physiology, and structure of an organism to
become more suited to an environment; the state reached by the biological population undergoing
adjustments or changes

III. ACTIVITY

For the experiment refer to this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DQGAcqhkGs

Answer the following questions about the experiment:

1. What are “blubbers”?

2. How does “blubber” help animals that naturally live in cold environment?

3. Cite another example of physical/behavioral adaptations exhibited in a plant or an animal.

ASSESSMENT 3: BIOLOGY G1-2
BASIC ANIMAL SENSE PARTS/ORGANS

General Direction: This is a 5- - item test, read and follow each directions written in every type of
test.

TRUE OR FALSE
Directions: Write T if the statement is TRUE and F if the statement is FALSE. Write the letter of
your answer on the blank provided at the right side of the test paper.

_____ 1. In hearing, the eardrums acts as a funnel for sounds which is then sent into the ear canal. (pinna)
_____ 2. The iris is a thin oblong structure in the eye that adjusts the amount of light that enters the eye.
(circular)
_____ 3. An organ is the part that carries out a particular function.
_____ 4. The lens converts the light that passes through the eye into electronic signals into an image
perceive in the brain. (retina)
_____ 5. The cells on the very outer layer of the epidermis are constantly dying and getting replaced by
new cells every 4 weeks.
_____ 6. The pupil is the clear front surface of the eye. (cornea)
_____ 7. The hyperdermis’ function is to store fat. (hypodermis)
_____ 8. The skin is the largest organ of the body.
_____ 9. The three bones that the eardrums shake are the smallest bone in the human body. (stapes)
_____ 10. The papillae contains the taste buds.
