 Lesson PREVENTION AND TREATMENT

1 OF RESPIRATORY AND
CIRCULATORY DISEASES

In the previous module, we learned 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. We understood that these two amazing
systems play important roles in our body, so we need to take care of it.

In this module, you will understand and recognize the ways of prevention,
detection, and treatment of diseases affecting our respiratory and circulatory
systems; explain the effects of tobacco smoking on the circulatory and respiratory
systems; and, appreciate and infer how one’s lifestyle can affect the function of the
respiratory and circulatory systems.

To prevent chronic diseases and long-term illnesses, we must live a healthy

lifestyle. Feeling good about yourself and taking care of your health will help you
avoid cardio-respiratory disease. Now let’s have a deeper understanding about this
topic.

What’s In

Let us recall the lesson in the previous module on respiratory and circulatory system
and how they work together.

Notes to the Teacher

This module on prevention and treatment of respiratory and
circulatory diseases will really be of help to you and your students
to fully understand the topic. For you to keep track of your
students understanding, always refer to the essential learning
competencies.

What’s New

In the previous module, you learned that strenuous/heavy activities lead to an

increased heart rate. There are other factors that can increase heart rate and
decrease the amount of oxygen in the blood.

In this module, you will learn about the illnesses that affect the heart rate and
amount of oxygen in the body.
The image below shows the body of a person who smokes. It also shows you the
illnesses that may develop because of cigarette smoking.

5
Activity 3

Directions: Answer the following questions by studying the image of a person’s

body who habitually smokes. Write your answer on your activity notebook.

Smokers Body Adopted from kaieteurnewsonline.com

Guide Questions:

1. What can harm the respiratory system?

2. What happens if the respiratory system is not working properly?

3. What are the physiological effects of smoking amongst the respiratory

and circulatory systems?

4. Do you know somebody from your home or neighborhood who smokes?

What have you noticed with their body or physical appearance? List down
observations.

6
 What is It

Every organ in the body is harmed by cigarette smoking, causing many diseases
and affecting health in general. There are approximately 600 ingredients in a stick
of cigarette. When burned, cigarettes create more than 7,000 chemicals. At least
69 of these substances are known to cause cancer and many are toxic. The main
component of cigarette is the nicotine, the addictive drug in tobacco products.
When a person smokes, the carbon monoxide combines with the hemoglobin in
red blood cells. As a result, it reduces the ability of the blood to carry oxygen
causing danger to our respiratory-circulatory system.

Respiratory diseases are also called lung disorders or pulmonary diseases.

These are disorders or infections that affect the lungs and cause breathing
problems.

Types of Respiratory Disease

1. COPD – Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Diseases

It is caused by long-term exposure to substances that irritate and damage
the lungs such as cigarette smoke, dust, chemical fumes and other
pollutants.

Figure 1: Adopted from BMC blog network-Biomed Central

7
 Types of COPD

a. Chronic Bronchitis
A person with chronic bronchitis exhibits shortness of breath due
to the inflammation of bronchi which swell and generate excess
mucus.

b. Emphysema
It is the damage of air sacs called alveoli in the lungs. Cigarette
smoking is the leading cause of COPD. A person with emphysema
could be treated using prescribed medication and supportive
therapy that includes supplemental oxygen and smoking cessation
therapy.

2. Asthma
It is a chronic disorder that causes swelling and soreness of the interior
airway walls.

Figure 2: Adopted from Asthma and allergy foundation

2. Lung Cancer

These are tumors in the lungs that reduce a person's ability to breathe.

Figure 3: Adopted from Asthma and Respiratory Foundation NZ

8
 4. Pneumonia
It is an infection in one or both lungs which causes inflammation
of the air sacs. The infection is caused by bacteria, viruses and
fungi. Preventing complications and cure the infection is the
treatment for pneumonia.

Figure 4: Adopted from New Nation English

5. Tuberculosis
It is caused by the bacteria called mycobacterium tuberculosis that
usually attacks the lungs, but can also damage other parts of the body.

Figure 5: Adopted from Medical Express

9
Circulatory system diseases are conditions that affect the structures or functions
of your heart and blood vessels that cause complications.
1. Atherosclerosis and Arteriosclerosis
Atherosclerosis refers to the buildup of fat, cholesterol and other
substances that narrow arteries and form a clot. Arteriosclerosis occurs
when blood vessels that carry oxygen and nutrients from the heart to the
rest of the body thickens and hardens losing elasticity.

Figure 6: Adopted from Gilmore Health News

2. Heart attack
Also called Myocardial infarction (MI), it occurs when the blood supply
is cut off from the heart, often by a blood clot, causing tissue death.

Figure 7: Adopted from Blausen Medical Communications, Inc.

10
 3. Heart Failure
It is the inability of the heart to pump blood around the body.

Figure 8: Adopted from Aging Care

High Blood Pressure (Hypertension)

It is a disorder where the blood pressure remains abnormally high.

Figure 9: Adopted from A&D Medical

11
 4. Stroke
The sudden death of brain cells due to lack of oxygen caused when an
artery in the brain ruptures or is blocked.

Figure 10: Adopted from McGovern Medical School

Coronary Artery Disease

It is the damage to the major blood vessels that supply our heart with
blood, oxygen and nutrients. This disease can be caused by high cholesterol
food, diabetes, family history, and smoking.

Figure 11: Adopted from the Medical gallery of Blausen Medical 2014

12
 You are now aware of the different diseases of the respiratory and circulatory
system. They can be scary, right? The good news is they can be prevented. As they
always say, “Prevention is better than cure.” How can we prevent these illnesses?

These are some of the ways to prevent illnesses.

a. Quit/stop smoking. Cigarette smoking leads to respiratory illnesses.

b. Eat healthy food. It improves body weight and reduces risk of overall bodily diseases.
c. Exercise regularly. It enhances the excretion of bodily wastes and maintains bodily
homeostasis.
d. Maintain healthy weight. This helps you prevents cardiovascular, respiratory,
musculoskeletal, and metabolism diseases and disorders.
e. Get enough rest and sleep. It promotes regeneration of tissues and reduces risk of
cardiovascular diseases such as stroke and hypertension.
f. Taking food supplements such as vitamin C. This helps strengthen your immune system.
