 RESPIRATORY AND CIRCULATORY SYSTEMS, WORKING
MODULE 1 WITH OTHER ORGAN SYSTEMS

UNIT I : LIVING THINGS AND THEIR ENVIRONMENT

Overview

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 healthy lifestyle to ensure that each part is maintained appropriately while getting the
most out of it.

In the past, you were introduced to the different 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 whic h has
special job that keeps you alive. Whether you eat, play, dance, sing, or sleep, each part of
your organ systems performs particular functions. You also discovered how digestive system
breaks down food to nourish your whole body.

Now, you will learn how different structures of the respiratory and circulatory
systems work together to transport oxygen-rich blood and nutrients to the different
parts of the body. You will also understand the prevention, detection, and treatment of
diseases affecting the respiratory and circulatory systems.

At the end of this module, you are expected to:

1. explain the mechanism on how the respiratory and circulatory systems work together
to transport nutrients, gases, and molecules to and from the different parts of the body;
and
2. infer how one’s lifestyle can affect the functioning of respiratory and circulatory
systems.

What I Need to Know

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Respiratory system is made up of the organs in the body that

help us to breathe. Breathing in and out is always linked to respiration. Circulatory system
is responsible for distributing materials throughout the body. Take note that circulation means
transportation or movement in circles. 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.

In this lesson, as you work on different activities, you will be able to answer the
following key questions;

How do the respiratory and circulatory systems work with each

other?
How will you describe the pathway of oxygen in the breathing
system?
How does your heart work?
Before you start with the Lesson, be sure to answer the pre-assessment.

Lesson

1 The Human Breathing

System

What’s In
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Breathe in and out. Feel the soft air running from the nose and realize the movement
of your chest and belly. Internalize and imagine the movement of the air from the nose into
the throat, through the air tubes, and into the air sacs.

3
 What do you think are the parts of the respiratory system responsible in supplying
oxygen to the human body? These parts are the nose, nasal passages, windpipe, bronchi,
bronchioles, alveoli, 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 to the
windpipe also known as trachea, bronchi, bronchioles and alveoli. Trachea is an empty tube
which is separated into two branches that serves as the passageway of air into the lungs. The
two branching tubes are called as bronchi, the one entering each lung which finally becoming
hair-like tubes called bronchioles. These bronchioles are connected to the alveoli, the air
sacs bubble – like bunch structures where exchange of gases happen. To widen your
understanding of the human breathing system, consider a bunch of grapes as the breathing
system. Perform the following Simple Activity

What is It?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Human Breathing System

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 grapes, finally becoming
5 hair-like tubes called bronchioles. In
the last part of the terminal bronchioles are tiny bubble –like bunch of
structures called alveoli or air sacs.

What I Need to Know

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Previously, you have already learned about the essential parts of the breathing
system and their functions. Now, you will understand the mechanism and activities of the
lungs and the diaphragm.

Have you experienced being in jump packed jeepney? You almost certainly could not
wait to get out where there are fewer people so you could freely move. This is analogous to
the process that makes air move in and out of your lungs. The air molecules are either crowded
outside and tend to get into the lungs where there are fewer air molecules (inhalation), or they
tend to get outside because they are too crowded inside the lungs(exhalation). When you
breathe in, your diaphragm muscle contracts downward and rib muscles pull upward causing
air to fill up the lungs. Can you explain why? Well, when your diaphragm goes lower and ribs
shift up, they provide more breathing space in your chest. This also reduces the force on your
lungs so the air will move in from the outside. Breathing out is a reverse process. Your
diaphragm loosens up and the ribs and lungs thrust in, causing the gas to be exhaled.

 What’s In
------------------------------------------------------------------

Why do we believe that life is possible only on planets where oxygen is present?
Oxygen is necessary for life to exist. Without it, the cells in the body would not be able to
release energy 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. How do the
respiratory and circulatory systems work together to carry out their common purpose?
Perform the next activity to learn more about the gas exchange that takes place in the
respiratory and circulatory system.

What is It
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Air first enters your lungs and then into the left part of your heart.
It is then by your heart into the bloodstream,all the way through your body.The heart
pumps blood, which transports essential nutrients, oxygen, and other chemicals to
every cell in your body. Once it reaches the cells, oxygen processes the nutrients to
release energy. Carbon dioxide is given off during this process.The blood delivers
carbon dioxide into the right portion of your heart, from which it is pumped to the
lungs.Carbon dioxide leaves your body through the lungs when you exhale.

What’s More
----------------------------------------------------------------

CIRCULATORY SYSTEM

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 on 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.
The circulatory system functions with other body systems to deliver different 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.

 Figure 3. The Human Circulatory System

The following are the three major parts of the circulatory system, with their
roles. Refer figure 3 for the identity of parts based on its descriptions below.
1. Heart – pumps the blood throughout the body
2. Blood vessel – carries the blood throughout the body
a. Arteries - carry oxygenated blood away from the heart to
the cells, tissues, and organs of the bod
b.Veins - carry deoxygenated blood to the heart
c..Capillaries - the smallest blood vessels in the body,
connecting the smallest arteries to the smallest veins.
- the actual site where exchange of gases happens.
3. Blood – carries the materials throughout the body.

The Human Heart

What’s In
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Do you know how big your heart is? Take a look at your fist. The
heart is a hollow muscle, which is just as big as your fist. It has four chambers with specific
tasks to do two ventricles and two atria. The atria are the receiving chambers of the heart,
accepting blood from the body (right atrium) and from the lungs (left atrium).The ventricles are
pumping chambers, moving blood to the lungs (right ventricle)and into the body(left ventricle).

Figure 4. The major divisions of the heart

The heart has two pumps. Each pump has two chambers, the upper and the lower
chamber. The upper chamber is the atrium that receives blood coming in from the veins. The
lower chamber is the ventricle that forces/pumps the blood out into the arteries. There is a
valve between each atrium and ventricles to prevent the blood from flowing back wards. The
valves are like one-way doors that keep the blood moving in only one direction. Valves control
movement of blood into the heart chambers and out to the aorta and the pulmonary artery. To
get a closer understanding about the concept on how heart works, let yourself perform the
next activity.

What is It
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Human Heart

The heart is a hollow muscular organ, about the size of your fist,
which is located in the center of your chest between the lungs. It is a double
pump that pumps on the left and right sides. Every side is divided into two
chambers, the atrium and the ventricle, each of which has a left and right
portion, with a total to four chambers altogether. The top chamber is the
atrium (plural: atria). The bottom chamber is called ventricle. The valve acts
as a one-way door, allowing blood to flow either forward into the next
chamber, or out of the heart.

What I Have Learned?

Summary

● Air enters the body through the nose, nasal passages, and then through
the trachea which divides into two branches, called bronchial tubes or
bronchi. The bronchi subdivide many times inside the lungs, forming the
hair-like tubes called bronchioles. At the end of the bronchioles are tiny
bubble-like structures called alveoli.

14
 ● When you breathe in or inhale, the diaphragm muscle contracts. When
you breathe out or exhale, the diaphragm muscle relaxes. The
diaphragm helps the air go in and out of the lungs
● Air first enters your lungs and then into the left part of your heart. It is
then pumped by your heart into the bloodstream, all the way through
your body. Once it reaches the cells, oxygen processes the nutrients to
release energy. Carbon dioxide is the waste material given off during the
process. The blood delivers carbon dioxide into the right portion of your
heart, from which it is pumped to the lungs. Carbon dioxide leaves your
body through the lungs when you exhale.
● The heart is a hollow muscular organ, about the size of your fist, which
is located in the center of your chest between the lungs. It is a double
pump that pumps on the left and the right sides. Each side is divided
across into two chambers. The top chamber is called the atrium. The
bottom chamber is called the ventricle. The valve acts as one –way door,
allowing blood to flow either forward into the next chamber, or out of the
heart.

Lesson 1- What’s New

Activity 1
For Observations/Guide Questions
1.Parts and Functions of the Human Respiratory System
Nasal Passages - serve as the channel for airflow through the nose in
which the air is warmed, cleaned and moistened.
Pharynx - is a common passageway shared by both the digestive and
respiratory systems.
Larynx - commonly called the voice box, is a 2-inch long cartilaginous tube
connecting the back of the nose (pharynx) and the windpipe (trachea) with
each other. It is one of the most important structures of the respiratory
system, also playing a crucial role in the production of speech in humans.
Trachea- also called windpipe, a hollow tube that serves as passageway of
air into the lungs.
Bronchi – separates trachea into two branches.
Pleura - is a vital part of the respiratory tract whose role it is to cushion the
lungs and reduce any friction which may develop between the lungs, rib
cage, and chest cavity.
Bronchioles – are air passages inside the lungs that branch off like tree
limbs from the bronchi
Alveoli - plays an important part of the respiratory system whose function it
is to exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide molecules to and from the
bloodstream.
Diaphragm - helps the air go in and out of the lungs.
2.The key parts of the circulatory system are trachea, bronchi, bronchioles and alveoli.
3. The other parts of the human breathing system will not be able to carry out their
corresponding functions as well, and the whole respiratory system will be affected.
4. Nose -----> Nasal passages -----> Trachea----->Bronchi ----> Bronchiole-----> Alveoli

For Generalization
1. The key parts of the human breathing system are the trachea, bronchi,
bronchioles, alveoli.
2. The movement of oxygen in the human breathing system starts from the nose,
nasal passages, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, and alveoli.

18
 Therefore, the breathing human system is made up of nose, nasal passages,
trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli.

Lesson 1: What’s More?

Wearing a face mask is uncomfortable which makes me feel difficult from breathing.
(Answers may vary.)

Lesson 2- What’s New

Activity 2
For Observations/Guide Questions
1. Gas exchange happens when we inhale and exhale. We take in oxygen and exit
carbon dioxide.
2. The blood delivers nutrients, oxygen and other chemicals that are absorbed by the
body.
3. The heart pumps 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.
4. The exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the lungs will be done through
inhalation and exhalation.
5. If my body lacks oxygen, your body may not work properly. It may cause
headaches and shortness of breath. In some cases, it can interfere with heart and
brain function.

For Generalization:
1. lungs ----> capillaries -----> left atrium -----> left ventricle ----> aorta
veins ----> right atrium -----> right ventricle -----> lungs
2. Air first enters your lungs and then into the left part of your heart. It is then
driven by your heart into the bloodstream, all the way through your body. The heart
pumps blood, which transports essential nutrients, oxygen, and other chemicals to
every cell in your body. Once it reaches, oxygen processes the nutrients to release
energy. Carbon dioxide is given off during this process. The blood delivers carbon
dioxide into the right portion of your heart from which it is pumped to the lungs.
Carbon dioxide leaves your body through the lungs when you exhale.
3. Therefore, circulatory and respiratory systems work together to circulate blood
and oxygen throughout the body.
