ACTIVITY 1: VIDEO VIEWING

How to Perform Hands-Only CPR-in order to have a better idea of what CPR is about and how
it can turn around potentially life-threatening situations.

Process Questions:

1. What ideas on CPR did you learn after watching this video?

- I’ve learned that Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a combination of

techniques, including chest compressions, designed to pump the heart to get blood
circulating and deliver oxygen to the brain until definitive treatment can stimulate the
heart to start working again. CPR can be life-saving first aid and increases the
person’s chances of survival if started soon after the heart has stopped beating.

- If no CPR is performed, it only takes three to four minutes for the person to become
brain dead due to a lack of oxygen.By performing CPR, you circulate the blood so it
can provide oxygen to the body, and the brain and other organs stay alive while you
wait for the ambulance. There is usually enough oxygen still in the blood to keep the
brain and other organs alive for a number of minutes, but it is not circulating unless
someone does CPR.

- CPR does not guarantee that the person will survive, but it does give that person a
chance when otherwise there would have been none.

2. How can CPR help in making nutrients flow well in the body?

- By performing CPR, you circulate the blood so it can provide oxygen to the body,
and the brain and other organs stay alive while you wait for the ambulance.
Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation or CPR helps in making nutrients flow in the body by
making the heart work again. Through proper technique, you can get blood
circulating and deliver oxygen to the brain, lungs, and different parts of the body.
ACTIVITY 2: VIDEO ANALYSIS - Mr. Bean’s Attempt to Provide CPR

Process Questions:

1. Every Mr. Bean episode is expected to be comical; in relation to CPR, what made
this particular episode funny?

- It is funny when he used the volt from the street post to revive the man. But, most
funny part for me is when he tried scooping air into his mouth as if it would really
pass though his mouth down to his heart and lungs.

2. How can CPR ensure nutrients to flow well in the body?

- By performing CPR, you circulate the blood so it can provide oxygen to the body,
and the brain and other organs stay alive while you wait for the ambulance.

- Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation or CPR helps in making nutrients flow in the body by

making the heart work again. Through proper technique, you can get blood
circulating and deliver oxygen to the brain, lungs, and different parts of the body.

ACTIVITY 4: WEBPAGE READING
Process Questions:

1. Why is it important that the heart and lungs are kept healthy?

- Your body needs this steady supply of blood to keep it working right. Blood delivers
oxygen to all the body's cells. To stay alive, a person needs healthy, living cells.
Without oxygen, these cells would die. If that oxygen-rich blood doesn't circulate as
it should, a person could die. The heart and lungs work together to make sure the
body has the oxygen-rich blood it needs to function properly.

2. Do you think the heart and lungs should work together when they
perform their functions? Why?
- The heart and lungs work together to make sure the body has the
oxygen-rich blood it needs to function properly.
- The Pulmonary Loop The right side of the heart picks up the oxygen-
poor blood from the body and moves it to the lungs for cleaning and re-
oxygenating.
- The Systemic Loop Once the blood is re-oxygenated, the left side of
the heart moves the blood throughout the body so that every part
receives the oxygen it needs

3. How can nutrients flow well in the body?

- The blood circulatory system (cardiovascular system) delivers nutrients
and oxygen to all cells in the body. It consists of the heart and the blood
vessels running through the entire body. The arteries carry blood away
from the heart; the veins carry it back to the heart.

o Describe how nutrients get distributed to the cells of the body. Is there any
difference between how oxygen and nutrients are distributed?

- At each body part, a network of tiny blood vessels called capillaries connects the
very small artery branches to very small veins. The capillaries have very thin walls,
and through them, nutrients and oxygen are delivered to the cells. And so there
is no difference between oxygen and nutrients are distributed. The heart, blood and
blood vessels work together to service the cells of the body.
ACTIVITY 5: VIDEO VIEWING

Process Questions:

1. What are the two types of circulation? Differentiate the two according to
purpose.

a. Pulmonary circulation moves blood between the heart and the

lungs. It transports deoxygenated blood to the lungs to absorb oxygen
and release carbon dioxide. The oxygenated blood then flows back to
the heart.

b. Systemic circulation moves blood between the heart and the rest of
the body. It sends oxygenated blood out to cells and returns
deoxygenated blood to the heart.

2. Describe how oxygen gets distributed to the cells of the body.

- Inside the air sacs, oxygen moves across paper-thin walls to tiny blood vessels
called capillaries and into your blood.
- A protein called haemoglobin in the red blood cells then carries the oxygen around
your body. At the same time, carbon dioxide that is dissolved in the blood comes out
of the capillaries back into the air sacs, ready to be breathed out.

ACTIVITY 6: FLOW DIAGRAM

Summarize what you learned so far by tracing the path of blood from the heart to the
lungs to the rest of the body.

1. Blood leaves the heart through the pulmonic valve

2. Into the pulmonary artery
3. To the lungs.
4. Blood leaves the heart through the aortic valve.
5. Into the aorta and to the body.
6. This pattern is repeated, causing blood to flow continuously to the heart, lungs and
body.
ACTIVITY 9: PICTURE ANALYSIS
Using the pictures found below, infer the likely consequences of these sample
circulatory and respiratory conditions.

1. Atherosclerosis – build up of plaque inside the blood vessels.

- This limits the flow of oxygen-rich blood to your organs and other parts of your body.
Atherosclerosis can lead to serious problems, including heart attack, stroke, or
even death.

2. Bronchitis – involves swelling of bronchioles as well as mucus build up in the

alveoli.

- People who have bronchitis often have a persistent cough that brings up thickened,
discolored mucus. They may also experience wheezing, chest pain, and
shortness of breath.

ACTIVITY 10: VIDEO VIEWING OF SMOKING-INDUCED PNEUMONIA

1. How would you describe pneumonia?

- Pneumonia is an infection that flames your lung’s air sacs (alveoli). The air sacs may fill
up with fluid or pus, that can make it hard for the oxygen you breathe in to get into your
bloodstream. The symptoms of pneumonia can range from mild to severe, and include
cough, fever, chills, and trouble breathing.

2. How does it affect the gases present in the lungs?

- Gas exchange takes place in the millions of alveoli in the lungs and the capillaries that
envelop them. As shown below, inhaled oxygen moves from the alveoli to the blood in the
capillaries, and carbon dioxide moves from the blood in the capillaries to the air in the
alveoli.

3. What might disrupt the free flow of substances, like oxygen and carbon dioxide,
in the body?

- Once in the lungs, oxygen is moved into the bloodstream and carried through your
body. At each cell in your body, oxygen is exchanged for a waste gas called carbon
dioxide. Your bloodstream then carries this waste gas back to the lungs where it is
removed from the bloodstream and then exhaled.
Using the flow diagrams or sequence charts below, show the sequence of events
involved in gas exchange in conjunction with the flow of blood into and out of the heart
during normal conditions and when there is a respiratory/circulatory condition.

ACTIVITY 11: MAKE YOUR OWN COMIC STRIP

Process Questions:

1. Can asthma be cured? Why or why not?

- Asthma attacks can’t be permanently cured, but can be controlled. Dr. dela Eva
stressed that there is no definite cure for asthma, though the frequency and intensity
of asthma attacks can be reduced.

2. Can it be controlled? How?

- Yes, asthma can be controlled. The patients must need to do the following steps in order to
prevent it. Namely :

 Avoid having pets at home.

 Eat fruits rich in Vitamin C.
 Avoid exposure to smoke, dust and pollen.
 Wear a mask when going outdoors.
