Like, how do they know they need lungs for oxygen? How do they know to send waste to our kidneys? How do they know to always keep the heart beating?

The brain doesn’t control a lot, maybe most, of the organs. The heart beats on its own even without a brain. The liver filters blood on its own, even without a brain. Your stomach digests food on its own, even without a brain. And so on and so on. Each organ is a fine tuned machine that does “one job” and it doesn’t know or care about the other organs. All it knows is it takes an input and produces an output.
