Major Organs of the Body
The body contains major organs. These are the bones,
muscles, stomach, intestines, kidneys, heart, lungs and brain.
These major organs perform their work to help the body function
properly.

What’s the meaning?

The Major Organs of the Body

The major organs of the body are bones, muscles, stomach,
intestines, kidneys, heart, lungs and brain. Each major organ
has its own parts and function.

1. The bones in the body have different sizes and shapes.

Some bones are long and some are short. There are flat
bones while others have irregular shapes. Bones together
6
 with the muscles help together to make the body move. One
of the important functions of the bones is to protect the
internal organs of the body.
a. Skull protects the brain.
b. Backbones protect the spinal cord.
c. Ribs form a protective cage around the heart and
lungs.
d. Hipbones protect the body when we sit.
2. The muscles form the fleshy parts of the body. They enable
our body to move. Muscles also give shape and forms to our
body. Muscles have different types.
a. Smooth muscles. They are located along the walls of
the major/internal organs. They are also called the
involuntary muscles.
b. Skeletal muscles are muscles attached to the
bones. These muscles are also known as the
voluntary muscles. The skeletal muscles of the
arms and legs work by pairs when you move.
3. The stomach is shaped like a letter J. It is also compared to
a bag or pouch made of muscles. The stomach serves as
“storage or holding organ” of the digestive system. As the
muscles of the stomach contract and relax, food is
squeezed, twisted and churned. The partially digested food
in the stomach are pushed to the small intestine for final
digestion.
4. The small intestine is a coiled long tube organ. The linings
of the small intestine function like a filter. Digested
nutrients are absorbed by the small intestine then go into
the bloodstream.
5. The heart is made up of hollow muscular organ located in
the middle of the chest. The heart pumps blood to and from
the different parts of the body.
6. The lungs are made up of spongy tissues that contain tiny
air sacs called alveoli. The lungs are the main organ for
breathing.
The heart and lungs support each other to allow
distribution of nutrients and oxygen and work together to
remove carbon dioxide or waste product in the body.

7. The brain is found in the head and is protected by the skull

and soft tissues called meninges. Its main function is to

7
 process information it receives and to send instructions to
the different parts of the body.
8. The kidneys are a pair of bean-shaped organs. They remove
urea from the blood through tiny filtering units called the
nephrons. Kidneys remove liquid waste from the blood in
the form of urine. They also keep a stable balance of salts
and other substances in the blood.

What’s more to do?

Directions.Match the organ with its correct description or

function. Write the letter of the answer on the space provided.

Column A Column B

___1. Muscles A. They work together to allow

distribution of nutrients.
___ 2. Heart and lungs B. They remove liquid waste of
the body.
___ 3. Bones C. It is protected by soft tissues
called meninges.
___ 4. Kidneys D. They enable our body to
move.
___ 5.Brain E. They protect the internal
organs of the body.

What did I get?

I learned that each major organ has its own parts and functions
to help the body function well.
 Bones together with the muscles help together to make the
body move.
 Bones protect the internal organs of the body.
 Muscles can be classified as smooth and skeletal muscles.
 Stomach muscles contract and relax to digest the stored food.
 Digested nutrients are absorbed by the small intestine then
go into the bloodstream.

8
  The heart and lungs support each other to distribute
nutrients and oxygen.
 The lungs are the main organ for breathing.
 The brain processes information it receives and to send
instructions to the different parts of the body.
 Kidneys have two main functions.

What can I show?

Directions. Answer each question correctly. Write your answer

on the spaceprovided.

 4. Which of the statements tell the function of the brain?
I. It processes information it receives.
II. It controls different activities of the body.
III. It controls muscle movement of our body.
IV. It distributes nutrients and oxygen.
A. I, II and III C. I and IV
B. II, III, and IV D. II and IV

5. How do the heart and lungs work together? They allow

distribution of __________________________.
A. clean air to all parts of the body
B. nutrients to all parts of the body
C. toxic oxygen to all parts of the body
D. nutrients and oxygen to all parts of the body

What else can I do?

A. Directions. Rearrange the jumbled letters inside the box to

form the correct word. Refer your answers to the given
descriptions. Write your answers on the space provided.

1. ___________
BRIS _______________ protect the spinal cord.

2. ___ LLUKS
