What’s New
Respiratory and circulatory diseases are common. Both of these diseases are
easily treated, while others may cause severe illness or death. If any part of the
respiratory and circulatory system is not working properly, a human being can have
diseases and if not treated early and properly this may lead to death.
Many times, people are more likely to get respiratory and circulatory diseases,
but environmental exposure could also play a big role.
Objective:
To identify common diseases of respiratory and circulatory system
Let’s begin by knowing the important players in this topic. In the KWL chart
below, fill in the K, W and L column with what you already know, what you want to
know and what you have learned about common diseases of respiratory and
circulatory system.

What Is It
There are diseases associated with the respiratory system. Some of these are
discussed below.
2. Common Cold – is among the most common respiratory disease. This is a disease
affecting the upper respiratory tract (nose and throat). It is transmitted by virus infected
airborne droplets or by direct contact with infected secretions.
3. Pneumonia – is the infection of the lungs caused by viruses and bacteria wherein
the alveoli in the lungs are inflamed and become filled with liquid and pus making it
difficult for the lungs to transfer oxygen to the blood. If not treated immediately, this
serious medical condition can lead to death.
4.Influenza – . is commonly called the flu. It is caused by the influenza virus that
attacks your throat, nose and lungs. It is a highly contagious disease and can spread
directly through air droplets when people with flu sneeze, cough or talk and spread
indirectly with objects contaminated with virus.
Like all other systems in our body, respiratory and circulatory is vulnerable to
conditions and diseases.

Diseases of the blood vessels and the heart are known as cardiovascular
diseases. There are ways to prevent circulatory diseases by living a healthy lifestyle.
Here are some of the common conditions affecting the circulatory system:
1. Atherosclerosis – is a condition that develops when a substance called plaque builds
up in the walls of the arteries making it harder for blood to flow through. If a blood clot
forms, it can block the blood flow that can cause heart attack or stroke. The risk factors for
these diseases are smoking, eating food high in fats, excessive alcohol intake, diabetes
and increased stress.
2. Stroke – occurs when it damages the brain when a blood vessel gets blocked or
usually leaked from a blood clot. Some risk factors for stroke include smoking, high
blood pressure, excessive alcohol intake and diabetes.
3. Hypertension – is the another name for high blood pressure. It can lead to severe
health complications. Is also known as the silent killer due to the fact that people
with hypertension usually has no symptoms. The causes of this disease include
obesity, diabetes, lack of fruits and vegetables in the diet and high salt intake.
4. Heart attack – occurs when the blood flow to the part of the heart is blocked by
blood clot, the heart muscle supplied by the artery begins to die. The causes for the
heart attack are atherosclerosis, diabetes, high blood pressure and gender (more
common in males).
Prevention on both respiratory and circulatory disease is always better than
their treatment. Diseases of both respiratory and circulatory system should not be
taken for granted because they can be deadly. With the right treatment of these
diseases it can save the patients lives.
The following are some ways to prevent respiratory and circulatory diseases:
1. Good nutrition, good sleep and rest enhances your immune system that helps
the body to resist infections. And avoid eating high cholesterol and fatty foods.
2. Do not smoke. Cigarettes contain harmful substances that can be fatal to your
body.
4. Observe strict personal hygiene. Always keep your body clean because it will
reduce the risk of catching any diseases.
5. Avoid crowds. Avoid direct contact with person suffering from respiratory
diseases. To avoid contamination it is very important to take all the necessary
precautions.

What’s New
What you eat or activity each day affects your health and how you feel now and
in the future. To maintain a healthy and functional body, it is important to take care of
them properly. Lifestyle is defined as someone's way of living that
a person or particular group of people usually do. Lifestyle has a direct effect on the
organs of the respiratory and circulatory system.
Let’s find out if we have a common understanding of what one of the important
terms in this lesson mean and that is the effect of lifestyle on the respiratory and
circulatory system. Let’s begin with the activity below.
Directions:
Choose the following lifestyle from the box that should go under the column “healthy”
or “Unhealthy” lifestyle.

What Is It
In the previous activity, you were asked to identify the basis in determining
whether healthy lifestyle is done or not. There is a direct effect of lifestyle on the organs
on both respiratory and circulatory systems. Among the cause of these diseases, four
causes may be observed: cigarette smoking, excessive alcohol intake, stress and high
level of fat and cholesterol in the blood. Knowledge on the symptoms of both
respiratory and circulatory disease is important for its treatment. When symptoms
occur, the best thing to do is consult a doctor when symptoms of common respiratory
and circulatory diseases persist.
There are different reasons why some people smoke. But whatever the reasons
are, smoking is surely not good for the health. Cigarettes contain harmful substances
that cause respiratory and circulatory diseases. Cigarettes contain nicotine, carbon
monoxide and tar. Nicotine is an addictive substance that increases heart rate and
blood pressure. Tar is a carcinogen (substance that causes cancer) that coats the
teeth, damages the gums, numbs the taste buds and causes bad breath. Carbon
monoxide is toxic to the body that prevents haemoglobin to carry the oxygen in the
blood throughout the body.
Excessive alcohol will increase triglycerides in the blood and influence calorie
intake. Stresses especially work related stress and emotional stress decreases the
resistance to heart disease that lead to hypertension. When a person is under stress
is more likely to smoke and tends to overeat.
When it comes to food, a high fat and high cholesterol diet, has been found to
have adverse effect to the lungs and heart. It may lead to obesity, which in turn
increases the risk of having respiratory and circulatory diseases.
2. Do not smoke and drink alcohol. If you are thinking of starting smoking and alcohol
drinking, do not! Stay away from people who do this habit.
3. Eat a healthy diet. Proper diet enables a person to maintain a healthy weight which
is important in keeping the respiratory and circulatory organs healthy.
4. Take time to relax and avoid stress because it affects the conditions of our
respiratory and circulatory system.

Summary
The diseases of the respiratory system include asthma, common cold,
pneumonia, bronchitis, rhinitis, emphysema and tuberculosis.
Asthma is a condition when a person experiences difficulty in breathing.
Common Cold is among the most common respiratory disease. This is a
disease affecting the upper respiratory tract (nose and throat).
Pneumonia is the infection of the lungs caused by viruses and bacteria wherein
the lungs are inflamed and become filled with liquid and pus.
Influenza is commonly called the flu. It is caused by the influenza virus that
attacks your throat, nose and lungs.
Bronchitis is the inflammation or swelling of bronchial tube lining.
Tuberculosis (TB) is a bacterial infections of the lungs caused by
mycobacterium tuberculosis, which is an airborne disease.
Covid 19 is a serious global infectious disease. It is part of a family of viruses
called corona viruses. It can affect nose, sinuses, throat and lungs.
The diseases of the circulatory system include atherosclerosis, stroke,
hypertension and heart attack.
Atherosclerosis is a condition that develops when a substance called plaque
builds up in the walls of the arteries making it harder for blood to flow through.
Stroke occurs when it damages the brain when a blood vessels gets blocked
or leaked usually from a blood clot.
Hypertension is the other name for high blood pressure.
Heart attack occurs when the blood flow to the part of the heart is blocked by
blood clot, the heart muscle supplied by the artery begins to die.
For prevention for both respiratory and circulatory diseases observe strict
personal hygiene, eat healthy foods, avoid smoking, exercise regularly and
avoid direct contact with infected person and contaminated objects.
Lifestyle is define as someone’s way of living that a person or particular group
of people usually do.
Four lifestyles may be observed that lead to respiratory and circulatory
diseases: smoking, excessive alcohol intake, stress and high level of fat and
cholesterol in the blood.
Smoking is not good for the health. Cigarettes contain nicotine, carbon
monoxide and tar. Excessive alcohol will increase triglycerides in the blood and
induces calorie intake.
Stresses are caused by work related stress and emotional stress that
decreases the resistance to heart disease. A diet high in fat and cholesterol
poses a great risk to the organs of respiratory and circulatory system.
Ways to have a healthy lifestyle is to exercise regularly, avoid smoking and
drinking alcohol, eat a healthy diet and take time to relax and avoid stress.
