Quarter 1- Module 2
(Week 2)
(Respiratory and Circulatory Systems
Diseases: Their Prevention, Detection
and Treatment )
Introductory Message
In the previous module, you were introduced to the parts of the human respiratory system,
how each part functions as well as the process on how the respiratory system helps your body
absorb oxygen from the air so your organs can work. It also cleans waste gases, such as
carbon dioxide, from your blood. You’ve also learned that the human respiratory system is
composed of several parts, which work together to do its function properly.
In this module, you will learn the parts and functions of the circulatory system and how
these parts work together with the respiratory system to perform important body processes.
Furthermore, you will gain knowledge about diseases that affect the circulatory system and
respiratory system, as well as treatment and prevention.
This module will give you an understanding of how the circulatory system work together
with respiratory system in transporting nutrients, gases, and molecules to and from the
different parts of the body . You will also recognize the importance of proper care of your body
and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
To help you understand the lessons you will be doing the following activities:
I.Parts of the Human Circulatory System
• Cross My Heart
• Don’t Break My Heart
• Ohhh My Heart!
• Fix My Word!
II.Diseases, Prevention and Care of the Respiratory and Circulatory System

Lesson 1 Parts and Functions of the
Human Circulatory System
MELC: Explain how the respiratory and circulatory systems work together to transport
nutrients, gases, and other molecules to and from the different parts of the body.(S9LT-la-
b-26)
At the end of the lesson, you should be able to:
• give the important role of the heart in the circulatory system;
• trace the pathway of blood from the lungs to the heart;
• name the different parts of the circulatory system.
What’s In
Respiratory and circulatory systems work at the same time to supply the body with
oxygen and eliminate waste such as carbon dioxide. Moreover, they work together perfectly
by coordinating the functions of the many parts of each system.
3
What’s New
The circulatory system is made up of blood vessels that carry blood away from and
towards the heart. Arteries carry blood away from the heart and veins carry blood back
to the heart. This system carries oxygen, nutrients, and hormones to cells, and removes
waste products, like carbon dioxide.
Below is an activity which helps you identify the components of the circulatory
system. This activity will serve as a spring board in this lesson.

What is it?
The major parts of the circulatory system include the heart, blood vessels,
and blood.
1. The Heart
The heart is made of specialized cardiac muscle tissue that allows it to act as a
pump within the circulatory system.
The human heart as seen in figure 2 above is about the size of your fist. It is divided
into four chambers: two atria and two ventricles. The right atrium receives deoxygenated
blood through the superior vena cava, which drains blood from the head and from the
veins that come from the arms. The deoxygenated blood carries more carbon dioxide to
be expelled from the body. The inferior vena cava, drains blood from the veins that come
from the lower organs and the legs. This deoxygenated blood then passes through the right
atrium then to the right ventricle through the tricuspid valve, which prevents the
backflow of blood. After it is filled, our right ventricle contracts, pumping the blood to the
pulmonary veins, through the pulmonary valve then to the lungs for oxygenation. The
left atrium receives the oxygen-rich blood from the lungs through the pulmonary artery.
This blood passes through the bicuspid valve to the left ventricle where the blood is
pumped into the aorta through the aortic valve. The aorta is our largest artery in the
body, taking oxygenated blood to the organs and muscles of the body. The oxygenated
blood carries more of oxygen to deliver to our body tissues
Your heart pumps blood to every corner and small space in your body. The average
heart beats approximately 72 times each minute. It weighs nine to eleven ounces in females
and just an ounce or two more in males. In your lifetime, your heart will beat approximately
2.5 billion times.
2. The Blood Vessels
Blood vessel, as illustrated in figure 3 is a vessel in the human body in which blood
circulates. The arteries are vessels that carry blood away from the heart . The arterioles
are the small branches of arteries. The venules are the small branches that collect the
blood from the various organs and parts of the body which unite to form veins, which
return the blood to the heart. The capillaries are minute thin-walled vessels that connect
the arterioles and venules; it is through the capillaries that nutrients and wastes are
exchanged between the blood and body tissues.

3. The Blood
Blood is essential to life. Blood circulates through our body and delivers essential
substances like oxygen and nutrients to the body’s cells. It also transports metabolic waste
products away from those same cells. There is no substitute for blood. It cannot be made
or manufactured. Generous blood donors are the only source of blood for patients in need
of a blood transfusion. There are four basic components that comprise human blood:
plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets.

Lesson Diseases, Prevention and
Care of the Respiratory and
2 Circulatory System
• Identify the different disorders affecting the respiratory and circulatory systems.
• Give the best practices or ways to prevent the diseases of the respiratory and
circulatory system.
• Relate how one’s lifestyle can affect the functions of the respiratory and
circulatory systems.
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.
Below is an activity which helps you identify the different disorders affecting the
respiratory and circulatory systems.
Directions: Find and write the different disorders affecting the respiratory and
circulatory systems. Below are the hints that can help you with your search. Use a
separate sheet of paper for your answers.

1. Infection of the alveoli 6. Commonly caused by smoking
2. Constriction of the bronchi and bronchioles 7. Runny nose
3. Breakdown of the walls of the alveoli 8. Blood clot in the blood
4. Blood clot in the blood vessels 9. Pain at the center of the heart
5.High blood pressure 10. Chest pain
What is it?
Respiratory disease that affect your airways and lungs caused by infection, smoking
cigarettes or by breathing in second hand cigarette smoke, or
other forces of air pollution.
There are diseases associated with the respiratory system. Some of these are discussed
spread the same way with other coronaviruses mainly through person-to-
person contact by respiratory droplets and through contact with
contaminated objects.
Like all other system in our body, respiratory and circulatory is vulnerable to
conditions and diseases. Circulatory Disease is an interruption, blockage, or diseases
that affect how you heart or blood vessels pump blood. 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 this 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 vessels gets
blocked or leaked usually from a blood clot. Some risk factors for stroke
include smoking, high blood pressure, excessive alcohol intake and diabetes.
3. Hypertension – is 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 includes 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 saved 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.
3. Exercise regularly. It improves the health of your lungs and heart.
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.
