This document summarizes the major organs of animals and how they affect behavior, growth, and survival. It discusses the brain, heart, muscles, stomach, skin, lungs, and bones as key organs that make up body systems responsible for processing information, pumping blood, allowing movement, digesting food, protecting the body, transporting oxygen, and providing structure. All of these organs work together to support an animal's growth, behavior, and survival.

2. What you’ll learn :)
● Major organs of animals
● How those organs affect:
○ behavior
○ growth
and
○ survival

3. Brain
● part of the
Nervous System
● processes information
● controls the body of the
animal
● regulates our
growth, behavior,
and survival

4. Heart
● part of the Circulatory
system
● pumps blood throughout
body
● keeps the animal alive
by getting oxygen
throughout the body
● essential organ for
survival

5. Muscles
● part of the Muscular system
● allows movement of an animal’s
body
● composed of tissues
● integrated around bones
● important for moving around to
find food for survival
● muscles adjust as the bodies of
animals grow

6. Stomach
● part of Digestive system
● processes food
● filled with acid
● the breakdown of food
is important for animals
to absorb nutrients (in
the intestines) needed
for growth and survival

7. Skin
● Integumentary System
● allows animals to feel
and sense the
environment
● protects animals from
outside materials that
can harm the body
(germs, pathogens,
etc.)

8. Lungs
● Respiratory System
● put oxygen into blood
cells to be transported
throughout the body
● filters out
dust/particles in air
● expands/contracts, vital
to our survival and
growth

9. Bones
● Skeletal system
● allows for structure of
animals
● protects internal organs
from harm
● important to growth,
how animals
move/behave.

10. NOW Y O U KNOW!
Numerous body parts
all work together to
help the body work.
It helps us grow,
affect how we behave
and allow us to
survive!
