ORGANS AND FUNCTIONS

DIFFERENT ORGANS AND FUNCTIONS 

Learning outcomes

Here are four potential learning outcomes related to organs and their functions:

1. Identify and describe the structure and function of major organs: Students can identify and describe the location, structure, and function of major organs in the human body.

2. Explain the relationships between organs and systems: Students can explain how organs work together in systems to maintain overall health and function.

3. Understand the impact of organ dysfunction or disease: Students can understand the consequences of organ dysfunction or disease on overall health and well-being.

4. Apply knowledge of organ function to real-world scenarios: Students can apply their knowledge of organ function to real-world scenarios, such as understanding the impact of lifestyle choices on organ health or explaining the effects of medical conditions on organ function.

Organs and functions

Here are the main organs of the human body and their functions:

Circulatory System

1. Heart: Pumps blood throughout the body.

2. Blood vessels: Arteries, veins, and capillaries transport blood.

Respiratory System

2. Esophagus: Food passes through to the stomach.

3. Stomach: Digests food with enzymes and acids.

4. Small intestine: Absorbs nutrients.

5. Large intestine: Absorbs water and eliminates waste.

Nervous System

1. Brain: Controls thoughts, movements, and functions.

2. Spinal cord: Transmits messages between brain and body.

3. Nerves: Carry signals throughout the body.

Other Vital Organs

1. Kidneys: Filter waste and excess fluids from blood.

2. Liver: Detoxifies, metabolizes, and produces vital proteins.

3. Pancreas: Produces hormones (insulin, glucagon) and digestive enzymes.

These organs work together to maintain overall health and function.
