Quarter 1 Worksheet 1
Name:______________________________Grade &Section:_____________________Date:_______
Topic: Respiratory and Circulatory Systems Working with the other Organ Systems
Learning Competencies & Code: The learners should be able 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-b26
Content:

RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
SYSTEM
Is made up of organs in the body that help us to breathe.

Breathing is the process that brings oxygen in the air into your lungs and moves
oxygen and through your body and removes the carbon dioxide as we breathe out.
Organs Functions
Nose/ Nasal Cavity Is one of the pathways where air enters the body. Contain small hairs
called cilia which helps filter the air.
Epiglottis Small flap attached to the larynx which opens or closes in order for air
and food to enter
Larynx Contains the vocal cords also called as “voice box”.
Trachea Is the passage leading from your pharynx to the lungs which is also
called as windpipe.
Rib cage Are bones supporting and protecting your chest cavity.
Lungs The lungs are a pair of spongy, air-filled organs located on either side
of the chest
Bronchus (Bronchi in Trachea separates into two branches called bronchi.
plural)
Bronchioles Bronchi subdivide into the lungs into many more branches called
bronchioles.
Alveoli Are tiny air sacs in your lungs that take up the oxygen you breathe in.
Diaphragm Is the organ that controls the breathing.

Activity 1: Word Pool!

Label the diagram of respiratory system below. You can select your answers on the word pool of organs
on the right side. Also answer the guide questions of this activity below.

Nose
Nasal Cavity
Bronchus
Larynx
Rib cage
Lungs
Mouth
Bronchioles
Alveoli
Diaphragm
Trachea
Guide questions:

Q1. Describe the pathway of oxygen in the breathing system.

Q2. What will happen if one part of the system fails to function properly?

Activity 2: Bottled Balloons!

Teacher will be posting video of bottled balloons activity describing how the lungs and
diaphragm works in the respiratory system and answer the guide questions. Also answer the breathing
illustration below through encircling the correct word that fits the sentence.

Guide Questions:

Q1.What does each part of the constructed lung model represent?

2 liter plastic bottle: ___________________________

2 straws: ___________________________

2 balloons: ___________________________

Larger balloon: ___________________________

Q2. What happens as you pull down the balloon at the bottom of the model?

Q3.What happen as you push up the balloon?

Q4. How does the movement of the diaphragm cause the air to go in and out of the
 lungs?

Q5. What might happen if you prick the balloon?

Breathing illustration:

As we inhale, (oxygen/carbon
dioxide) gets inside.

As we exhale, (oxygen/carbon
dioxide) goes out.

As we breathe out our lungs

As we breathe in our lungs (expands/relaxes) and our diaphragm
(expands/relaxes) and our diaphragm (moves downward/ relaxes).
(moves downward/ relaxes).

CIRCULATORY SYSTEM

Is made up of organs responsible for distributing materials like gases and

nutrients throughout the body.

The circulatory system carries oxygen, nutrients, and hormones to the cells, and
removes waste products, like carbon dioxide.

Organs of this system includes heart, blood, and blood vessel.

HEART BLOOD BLOOD VESSEL

-Pumps the blood throughout -carry the materials throughout -Carries the blood throughout the
the body the body body.
Types of Circulation Three types of blood vessel:
1. Pulmonary circulation: Blood moves from the heart, to the lungs
1. Arteries: carry oxygenated
and back to the heart. blood away from the heart.
2. Coronary circulation: blood moves to the tissues of the heart. 2. Veins: carry deoxygenated
blood back to the heart.
3. Systemic circulation: blood moves from the heart to the rest of the
3. Capillaries: smallest blood
body except the lungs. vessel which connects
arteries and veins.

:site where gases and

nutrients exchanged.
Activity 3: What’s in the flow!
Identify what type of circulation in every photo and complete the statement
that follows.

As we breathe in oxygen, it flows from the

nose down to the narrow tubes going to the
_________ and to be transferred in the heart.

__________ circulation

A. Blood delivers oxygen and C. Blood from the

nutrients into the body where heart carry
it is exchanged at _____________ nutrients and
and replaced with waste products _____________
like carbon dioxide to be delivered
in all parts of
body.
circulation circulation

THE HUMAN HEART

The heart is a hollow muscle, as seen in the figure on the

left, which is just as big as your fist. It has four chambers
with specific tasks to do: two ventricles and two atriums.

The atrium is the receiving chambers of the heart.

1.Right atrium: receives blood from the body
2.Left atrium: receives blood from the lungs
The ventricles are the pumping chambers.
3.Right ventricle: pumps blood to the lungs
4.Left ventricle: pumps blood into the body
There
is a valve between each atrium and ventricle to
prevent the blood from flowing backwards. Valves
control the movement of the blood into the heart
chambers and out of the aorta and pulmonary artery.
4 Valves:
1. Tricuspid valve: between right atrium and
right ventricle.
2. Pulmonary valve: between right ventricle
and pulmonary artery.
3. Bicuspid valve: between left atrium and
left ventricle.
4. Aortic valve: between left ventricle and aorta
Activity 4: Trace me up!

The pattern below is the correct flow of how blood passes from lungs to the heart and vice versa.
Answer the questions below.

Breathe out Carbon dioxide Breathe in Oxygen from the

from lungs to nose. nose to lungs

CO2 O2

CO2 O2
CO2 O2

Exchange oxygen and

carbon dioxide.

___________________1. This is where the oxygen swaps with carbon dioxide.

___________________2. What chamber that pumps blood to the lungs?
___________________3-4 . What are the two receiving
___________________. chambers of the heart?
___________________5. This chamber receives blood from the body.

Guide questions:
Q1. Ho does the heart and lungs work together?

Q2. What takes place when you inhale and exhale?

Q3. What does blood deliver to every part of the body?

Q4. Why is oxygen important to your body?

Q5. How will you describe the sequence of oxygen, carbon dioxide, and blood flow in your own
words?
 Activity 5: They Work Together!
Using the video to be presented by the teacher, explain how respiratory and circulatory system work
together using a comic strip in a ¼ sized illustration board. You can see the video on the youtube; The
Heart and Circulatory System - How They Work.
