This module will help you gain knowledge on how respiratory and
circulatory work together.
Before we go through, take note that your body is a fascinating creation
that can carry out incredible tasks and activities. It is like a machine that is
able to function with proper organization of parts and systems. However, our
bodies also require proper care and maintenance. It is just fitting to keep
going with a healthy lifestyle to ensure that each part ys maintained
appropriately while getting the most out of it.
In the past, you were introduced to the levels of organizations in the
human body and the mechanisms involved in it. You have learned that the
human body is composed of different systems, which are collections of cells,
tissues, and organs, each of which has a special job that keeps you alive.
Whether you eat, play, dance, sing, or sleep; each part of your organ systems
performs particular funcyions. You also discovered how the digestive system
breaks down food to nourish your whole body.
This time, you will learn how the different structures of the respiratory and
circulatory systems work together to transport oxygen-rich blood and
nutrients to the different parts of the body.
Do you have any idea on respiratory and circulatory systems?

What`s In?
Respiratory system is made up of the organs in the body that help us to
beathe. Just remember that the word respiration is linked to breathing.
Circulatory system is responsible for distributing materials throughout the
body. Take note that circulation means transportation or movement in circles.
Both systems are essentially meant for each other. The common purpose
could not be attained without the other system.
What`s New?
Before you proceed, you need to know what are the parts of the human
respiratory system by doing the “Inhale, Exhale Exercises” first so that you
will experience how does air enter into our lungs and come out from our
lungs.
One local example that could be used as model of the breathing system
is an acacia stem.
Before you go further, take a look at the picture of an acacia stem and
identify the key parts of the breathing system.
Identify and describe the function of each part of the breathing system.
Figure 2. The Human Respiratory System
1. What does each part of the acacia stem model represent, in relation to the
breathing system?
2. How will you describe the pathway of oxygen in the breathing system?
3. What will happen if one part of the breathing system fails to carry out its
function properly?
5
What`s In It?
The air we breathe goes through the nose, nasal passages, and then
through the trachea or windpipe, which separates into two branches, called
bronchial tubes or bronchi, one entering each lung. The bronchi subdivide
many times inside the lungs, analogous to the branching pattern of leaves,
finally becoming hairlike tubes called bronchioles. In the last part of the
terminal bronchioles are tiny bubble-like bunch of structures called alveoli or
airsacs.
Q2. From the nose and mouth, oxygen travels to the trachea, bronchi,
bronchioles, and then into the alveoli.
Q3. The other parts of the breathing system will not ba avle to carry out their
corresponding functions as well, and the whole respiratory system will
be affected.

RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
Your respiratory system helps your body take oxygen from the air. The
respiratory system is made up of your nose, mouth, trachea, lungs, and
diaphragm.
In the nose and nasal passages, the entering air is made warm, damp,
and clean of unknown particles. Next, the air moves down through the
trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, and alveoli. Trachea is the empty tube that
serves as passageway of air into the lungs. Bronchi are the two branching
tubes that connect the trachea to the lungs. Bronchioles are the hairlike
tubes that connect to the alveoli. Alveoli are the airsacs that allow gas
exchange in the lungs.
Oxygen is necessary for life to exist. Without it, the cells in the body
would not be able to release the enrgy in food for power, and they would die
within minutes. When you inhale air, your respiratory system gets oxygen.
When you exhale, carbon dioxide is released.
In order for you to explain how the respiratory and circulatory systems work
together, let us describe circulatory system, identify the parts of the
circulatory sytem and the types of circulation.
The circulatory system is the life support structure that nourishes your
cells with nutrients from the food you eat and oxygen from the air you
breathe. It can be compared to a complex arrangement of highways, avenues
and lanes connecting all the cells together into a neighborhood. Sequentially,
the community of cells sustains the body to stay alive. Another name for the
circulatory system is the cardiovascular system.
8
The circulatory system functions with other body systems to
deliverndifferent materials in the body. It circulates vital elements such as
oxygen and nutrients. At the same time, it also transports wastes away from
the body.
The circulatory system is made up of the heart and blood vessels
known as arteries and veins. The heart pumps blood throughout your body
through the blood vessels. Blood delivers oxygen and nutrients to cells and
carries away carbon dioxide and other waste materials.
What do you think are the major parts of the circulatory system?
The following are the three major parts of the circulatory sytem, with their
roles:
1. Heart = pumps the blood throughout the body
Your heart looks like an upside-down pear. It is about the size of your closed
fist. It is almost in the middle of your chest. It is just off to the left side.
Your heart is made of muscle. It is divided into four parts called chambers.
The chambers are hollow inside. The two chambers on top are called atria.
The chambers on the bottom are called ventricles. Your heart also has four
valves that let blood in and out of the chambers.
The human heart is a muscular organ about the size of a fist. With each beat
of the heart, oxygen-containing blood pumps to cells throughout the body.
The heart contains four hollow chambers that act as temporary storage boxes
for blood. The right atrium and left atrium fill with blood from elsewhere in the
body. The left ventricle and right ventricle collect blood before pumping it out
to other parts of the body.
Make a fist. Open your fist slightly, and then squeeze it closed. Open and
close your fist again and again. This is sort of how your heart pumps blood.
The muscles in your heart squeeze the chambers.
To open and close your fist, you have to think about doing it. You don’t have
to think about squeezing your heart muscles. Your brain tells your heart to
pump over and over again. Your heart pumps when you are awake. Your
heart pumps when you are asleep. Your heart pumps faster when you run
fast. Your body needs more oxygen when you run.
Your heart is better than any pump made. It beats over and over again, day
and night. The heart of a 76-year-old person has beat nearly 2.8 billion times.
It has pumped about 179 million quarts (169 million liters) of blood. No one
can live if their heart stops beating for more than a few minutes.
Tubes called Blood vessels are flexible, hollow tubes. Your heart pumps
blood through blood vessels. It sends blood to your lungs to pick up oxygen.
It pumps blood out to all parts of your body.
arteries come out of your heart. Tubes called veins go into your heart.
Arteries and veins are also called blood vessels.
Arteries, veins, and capillaries are blood vessels that carry blood
throughout the body. If all the arteries, veins, and capillaries in your body
were placed end to end, they would stretch more than 60,000 miles (100,000
kilometers).
10
2.a. Arteries =carry oxygenated blood away from the heart to the cells,
tissues, and organs of the body.
2.b. Veins = carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart.
2.c. Capillaries = the smallest blood vessels in the body, connecting
the smallest arteries to the smallest veins.
= the actual site where gases and nutrients are exchanged.
The tiniest blood vessels are called capillaries. Capillaries go all through your
body. They give up oxygen and nutrients that your body needs. They carry
away waste products.
Your heart pumps blood. Blood comes into the atria or top chambers of your
heart. Your ventricles, or bottom chambers, pump blood out to every part of
your body.
Blood going out of your heart carries food and oxygen. Every part of your
body needs food and oxygen for energy. You need energy for your body to
work and for you to stay alive. Your heart pumps blood carrying food and
oxygen through your arteries. Big arteries carry the blood to your legs and
arms. The arteries get smaller and smaller the farther out they go. Little blood
vessels called capillaries take blood to your cells. Everything in your body is
made of tiny cells.
Your cells give off waste products when they make energy from food and
oxygen. One of these waste products is a gas called carbon dioxide. The
blood in your capillaries picks up the waste products. Capillaries connect to
bigger veins. The pumping of your heart pushes the blood through your veins.
Your veins carry blood back to your heart. The chambers on the right side of
your heart take care of blood coming back through your veins. First, the blood
comes into your right atrium, the top chamber. Your right atrium pumps the
blood into your right ventricle, the bottom chamber. Your right ventricle
pumps the blood through an artery into your lungs.
Your blood has to get rid of carbon dioxide. It has to get a fresh supply of
oxygen. Your lungs take care of both jobs. Carbon dioxide from your blood
goes into your lungs. Your lungs get rid of the carbon dioxide when you
breathe out.
11
Then you breathe in. Your lungs get oxygen from breathing in air. Your lungs
fill up with oxygen. Your blood picks up a new supply of oxygen from your
lungs. Now your blood is ready to go out through your arteries to all the parts
of your body.
The chambers on the left side of your heart take care of blood going out
through your arteries. Special veins send blood from your lungs to your left
atrium, or top chamber. The blood goes from the left atrium to the left
ventricle. The left ventricle pumps the

How does respiratory and circulatory system work together?
Take note that respiratory system is made up of the organs in the body that
help us to breathe. Just remember that the word respiration is breathing. You
use your lungs to breathe. You breathe air into your lungs. The air contains
oxygen, a gas you need in order to live.Circulatory system is responsible for
distributing materials throughout the body. Circulation means transportation or
movement in circles.Blood in your lungs picks up the oxygen and carries it to
all parts of your body and blood coming back to your lungs gives off carbon
dioxide, a waste gas. Your lungs send carbon dioxide out of your body when
you breathe out.
Both systems are essentially meant for each other. The common purpose
could not be attained without the other system.
What’s more?
Using a pair of scissors, cut the bottom out of the 1.5-liter plastic bottle.
(Keep the other half for Activity 4) Create two holes that are apart from each
other in the cap of the plastic bottle. Make sure that each hole is just big
enough for a straw to fit through. Stick the two straws through the two holes
of the bottle cap. Place one balloon on the end of each straw, and secure
them with rubber bands, as shown in the figure below.
Stick the balloon ends of the straws through the bottle opening and screw the
lid on tightly. Stretch out the larger balloon and place it over the open bottom
of the bottle. Secure it with the rubber band as tightly as possible. Refer to
the diagram of the finished lung model below.
13
Pull the larger balloon down; that is, away from the bottle, inorder to blow up
the two small balloons. Push the larger balloon towards the bottle in order to
let the air out of the two small balloons.
Assessment 1:
Q1. What does each part of the constructed lung model represent?
Q2. What happens as you pull down thw balloon at the bottom of the model?
Q4. How does the movement of the diaphragm cause the air to go in and out
of the lungs?

Assessment 3:
Answer the questions based on the given activity.
2. Which part of the circulatory system carries the materials throughout the
body?
18
You need to prepare wide mouthed jar or the bottom half of 1.5 liter plastic
container you used in Activity 1, 1 big balloon, 2 flexible drinking straws, 1
pair of scissors, adhesive tape, and water.
*Fill the jar half full of water. Cut the neck part of the balloon off at the part
where it starts to widen into a balloon. Set the neck part aside to be used
later on.Stretch the balloon over the opening of the jar, pulling it down as
tightly as you can. The flatter you can get the sur should face of the balloon,
the better. Carefully poke two holes on the surface of the balloon. Make them
about an inch apart from each other and near opposite edges of the jar. Stick
the long part of a straw into each hole. The straws should fit securely in the
holes so no air can get through around the straws. Slide the uncut end of the
balloon neck onto one of the straws and tape it around the straw. Set your
pump in a large pan or the sink to catch the pumped water. Bend the straws
downward. Gently press in the center of the stretched balloon and watch
what happens to the water in the jar.
Refer to the picture below to know what your setup must look like.

Pre-test (What I Know)
2. The two balloons inflate. The air pressure inside the bottle is lowered by
increasing the space inside the bottle. The outside air then enters through the
tube, which makes the two balloons inside the bottle “chest” expand.
3. The two balloons deflate and return to their original size. The air pressure
inside the bottle is increased by decreasing the space inside the bottle. The
inside air then exits through the tube, which makes the two balloons inside
the bottle return to their original size.
4. The movement of the diapragm affects the air pressure inside the chest
cavity by either decreasing or increasing the space, thus, allowing air to go in
and out of the lungs.
5. If one of the balloons is pricked, it will not inflate anymore because the air
will escape.
ASSESSMENT 2:
1. The heart pumps the blood that transports the inhaled oxygen to every cell
of the body. Carbon dioxide is given off in the process and is carried by the
blood to the lungs and is released through exhalation.
3. Blood delivers nutrients, oxygen, and other substances that are needed by
the body.
5. Oxygen enters the respiratory system through inhalation, and enters the
blood stream to be circulated throughout the body. Carbon dioxide from the
tissues enter the blood then to the lungs where it is exhaled.
25
ASSESSMENT 3:
1. Arteries, Veins, and Capillaries
2. Blood
3. Pulmonary circulation, Coronary circulation, and Systemic circulation
4. The heart propels the blood, which carries all the vital materials and
removes the waste products that we do not need.
5. The heart is a double pump that pumps blood on every side, the left and
the right, to circulate the blood throughout the body.
ASSESSMENT 4:
1. The water inside the jar represents the blood that is pumped by the heart.
2. The heart pump model moves water from the jar through the straws into
the pan. The heart pumps blood out into the body through the arteries in
a similar way.
3. The heart is filled with blood which is squeezed out to circulate through the
whole body.
4. No. The blood will not be pumped out of the heart into the body because
there is an obstruction.
