______4. The bronchi subdivide many times inside the lungs, forming the hair-like tubes
called bronchioles.
______5. Air enters the body through the nose, nasal passages, and then through the
windpipe or trachea, which divides into two branches called bronchi.

Target Competency: Identify the components of the circulatory system (S9LT-Ia-b-26.1.5).
Activity 9: Name Me!
Directions: Arrange the JUMBLED letters and identify the words that will help you trace
how the respiratory and circulatory systems work together.
Respiratory System
_____________1. The SUNGUL takes in oxygen from the
air you breath.

_____________2. The oxygenated blood then enters

the chamber, the FELT MURTIA.

_____________3. Then the oxygenated blood will be

pumped to the aorta through the
FELT NETRIVLEC.

_____________4. After supplying the oxygen to the

cells, the deoxygenated blood enters Circulatory System
another chamber called GIRTH www.biology4alevel.blogspot.com
MURTIA.

_____________5. The GIRTH NETRILEC then pumps the deoxygenated back to the
lungs to get oxygen again.

Answer the following questions:

1. What do you think will happen if the lungs and the heart stop working together?

Activity 12: Effects of Smoking in the Body

Directions: Read and comprehend the effects of smoking in the body. Then, answer
the question that follows.

Smoking cigarettes can have many adverse effects on the body. Some of these
can lead to life-threatening complications. It affects the respiratory system, circulatory
system, reproductive system, skin and eyes, and it increases the risks of many different
cancers.
Effects of Smoking in the Body
1. Lung damage - Smoking cigarettes affect lung health because a person
breathes in not only nicotine but also a variety of additional chemicals.
2. Heart disease - Smoking cigarettes can damage the heart, blood vessels, and
blood cells.
3. Fertility problems - Smoking cigarettes can damage a female’s reproductive
system and make it more difficult to get pregnant.
4. Risk of pregnancy complications - Smoking can increase the risk of ectopic
pregnancy and reduce the baby’s birth weight.
5. Risk of type 2 diabetes - Smoking can also make it more difficult for people
with diabetes to manage their condition.
6. Weakened immune system - Smoking cigarettes can weaken a person’s
immune system, making them more susceptible to illness.
7. Vision problems - Smoking cigarettes can cause eye problems, including a
greater risk of cataracts and age-related macular degeneration.
8. Poor oral hygiene - People who smoke have double the risk of gum disease.
This risk increases with the number of cigarettes a person smokes.
