UNIT 1- MODULE 1: Respiratory and Circulatory Systems Working with other organ
Systems
I. Introduction
Your body is a fascinating creation that can carry out incredible tasks and activities. It is like a
machine that is able to function with proper organization of parts and systems. However, our bodies
also require proper care and maintenance. It is just fitting to keep going with a healthy lifestyle to
ensure that each part is maintained appropriately while getting the most out of it.
In the past, you were introduced to the different levels of organizations in the human body and
the mechanisms involved in it. You have learned that the human body is composed of different
systems, which are collections of cells, tissues, and organs, each of which has a special job that
keeps you alive. Whether you eat, play, dance, sing, or sleep; each part of your organ systems
performs particular functions. You also discovered how the digestive system breaks down food to
nourish your whole body.
Now, you will learn how the different structures of the circulatory and respiratory systems work
together to transport oxygen-rich blood and nutrients to the different parts of the body. You will also
understand the prevention, detection, and treatment of diseases affecting the respiratory and
circulatory
systems.
II. Objective
At the end of the lesson on this module, learners should be able to:
a. explains the mechanism on how the respiratory and circulatory systems work together;
b. explain how the function of respiratory and circulatory system affects one’s life.
Subject Matter
Respiratory and Circulatory Systems
III. Lesson Proper
A. Review
Respiratory system is made up of the organs in the body that help us to breathe. Just
remember that the word respiration is linked to breathing. Circulatory system is
responsible for distributing materials throughout the body. Take note that circulation
means transportation or movement in circles. Both systems are essentially meant for each
other. The common purpose could not be attained without the other system.
B. Discussion
Respiratory System
I. The Exchange of Gases
Do you know that you can survive for several days without water and survive for a month
without food, but you cannot survive for more than five minutes without oxygen? Oxygen is the part
of the air that we breathe. Air is a mixture of different gases. The air you breathe is made up of
Oxygen … 21.0%
Nitrogen … 78.1%
Carbon Dioxide … 0.03%
Other gases … 0.87%
Life depends on breathing because the cells of the body need oxygen. You breathe in to bring
fresh air into the lungs. The lungs must separate the oxygen from the air. Then you breathe out to get
rid of the carbon dioxide that the body does not need.
Breathing is a mechanical process. It is a process of pumping air into and out of the lungs.
Breathing is done by a group of organs that make up the RESPIRATORY SYSTEM (Figure 1).
The function of the respiratory system is to exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide between the air and
the cells.
Philippines 3800
Figure 1: Respiratory System
The respiratory organs filter particles from the incoming air. They help control the
temperature and water content of air. They also aid in producing the sounds used in speech and play
important roles in the sense of smell and the regulation of pH.
Now, let us take a tour of our respiratory system. The following are the parts and their
functions.
 Nose. The function of the nose is to filter and warm the entering air with the help of the cilia
(hairs inside it).
 Pharynx. The pharynx is commonly called the throat. It connects the nose with the
windpipe.
 Trachea. The trachea is commonly called the windpipe.
 Bronchus. The trachea branches into two tubes, the BRONCHI, inside the lungs. Each
bronchus continues to branch and re-branch until it is very small. Each tube finally ends in a
tiny air sac called an ALVEOLUS (plural: alveoli).
Philippines 3800
 Lungs. The lungs are two up-side-down, cone-shaped organs inside the chest. The lungs are
really two bags full of thousands and thousands of alveoli. It is at the alveoli inside the lungs
that gases are exchanged.
 Diaphragm. The diaphragm is a large muscle that lies flat at the bottom of the chest cavity.
The diaphragm aids in breathing by moving up and down.
 Rib Muscles. The lungs are protected in the chest cavity by a set of rib bones. The tissues
between the rib bones are the rib muscles. These muscles are the meat you eat on a sparerib.
The rib muscles move the rib bones and cause the chest cavity to enlarge and contract. The
rib muscles work together with the diaphragm to aid breathing.
The Human Breathing System. Breathe in and out. Notice your chest and belly moving and
feel the soft air passing from the nose. Listen to the quiet sounds of breathing in and out. Imagine the
air moving from the nose into the throat, through the air tubes, and into the air sacs. The parts of the
respiratory system that are in charge of supplying oxygen are the nose, nasal passageways, windpipe,
Lungs, and diaphragm. In the nose and nasal passages, the entering air is made warm, damp, and
clean of unknown particles. Next, the air moves down through the trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, and
alveoli. Trachea is the empty tube that serves as passageway of air into the lungs. Bronchi are the
two branching tubes that connect the trachea to the lungs. Bronchioles are the hair like tubes that
connect to the alveoli. Alveoli are the air sacs that allow gas exchange in the lungs. Perform the
following simple activity to widen your understanding of the human breathing system.
Activity 1: Parts and Functions of the breathing system

PART A
What a Bunch of Santol or Grapes!
Objective: Identify the key parts of the breathing system
Materials:
Bunch of Santol or grapes (or any other bunch of fruits or vegetables such as arosep or lato
(seaweed), lanzones, cauliflower, etc.)
Procedure:
1. Hold up the bunch of grapes. Let the bunch of santol or grapes represent the breathing system.
2. locate the parts of the breathing system: the main stem as the trachea, the large branching stems
as the bronchi, and all the little stems as the bronchioles. The individual santol or grapes are the
airsacs or alveoli.
3. One by one, gently take out some of the grapes to expose more of the branching stems
(bronchioles). Observe its structure.
4. Trace the pathway of oxygen using the “Bunch of Grapes” model. Note that air moves from the
nose (nasal cavity) and mouth (oral cavity) to the trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, and then into the
alveoli (air sacs). The air we breathe carries the gas oxygen. When we breathe, the oxygen goes to
the lungs.

PART B
Objective: Describe the function of each part of the breathing system
Procedure:
1. Refer to the diagram, and check your understanding of the breathing system by labeling each part
and giving its functions in the box corresponding to the part.
Guide Questions:
Q1. What does each part of the “Bunch of Grapes” model represent, in relation to the breathing
system?
______________________________________________________________________
Q2. How will you describe the pathway of oxygen in the breathing system?
______________________________________________________________________
Q3. What will happen if one part of the system fails to carry out its function properly?
______________________________________________________________________
Activity 2: Demonstration of breathing
Procedure:
a. Close your mouth, then press your nose
b. Do it for a few seconds or for as long as you can hold breathing.
Answer the following questions:

a. How did you feel as you press your nose with your mouth closed? Why?
b. What happens when the air cannot enter the body?
c. What air do you inhale? What air do you exhale?
Previously, you have already learned about the essential parts of the breathing system and
their functions. Now, you will understand the mechanism and activities of the lungs and the
diaphragm.
Have you experienced being in a jam-packed multicab? You almost certainly could not wait
to get out where there are fewer people so you could freely move. This is analogous to the process
that makes air move in and out of your lungs. The air molecules are either crowded outside and tend
to get into the lungs where there are fewer air molecules (inhalation), or they tend to get outside
because they are too crowded inside the lungs (exhalation). When you breathe in, your diaphragm
muscle contracts downward and rib muscles pull upward causing air to fill up the lungs. Can you
explain why? Well, when your diaphragm goes lower and ribs shift up, they provide more breathing
space in your chest. This also reduces the force on your lungs so the air will move in from the
outside. Breathing out is a reverse process. Your diaphragm loosens up and the ribs and lungs thrust
in, causing the gas to be exhaled.

II. Respiration Process
Activity 3: Respiration Process
Create a mental picture of the respiratory system. Using the words in column A write the
correct sequence in column B.
Column A Column B
air sacs 1. ________
bronchioles 2. ________
nose 3. ________
trachea 4. ________
pharynx 5. ________
bronchi 6. ________
larynx 7. ________
When you breathe in or inhale, the diaphragm contracts. Inhaling moves, the diaphragm
down and makes the size of the chest cavity larger. At the same time, the ribs move up and increase
the size of the chest cavity. There is now more space and less air pressure inside the lungs. Air
pushes in from the outside where there is a higher air pressure. It pushes into the lungs where there is
a lower air pressure.
When you breathe out, or exhale, the diaphragm relaxes. The diaphragm and ribs return to their
original place. The chest cavity returns to its original size. There is now less space and more air
pressure inside the lungs. It pushes the air to the outside where there is a lower air pressure.
Remember, in the process of breathing

1. the size of the chest cavity changes when the
diaphragm and rib muscle expand and contract.
2. air pressure changes when there is a change in the
size of the chest cavity.
3. air moves in and out of the lungs when there is a
change in the air pressure inside the chest cavity.
Figure 3: Respiration process
The Process of Respiration

Breathing and respiration are two different processes. BREATHING is a mechanical process
of pumping air into and out of the lungs. The lungs are like two bags turned inside out, inside the
body. The gases in the lungs must get to the cell, and the waste gases in the cells must get to the
lungs. For this to happen, a chemical process is needed.
The chemical process in which oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged between the
outside air and the cells is called RESPIRATION. Respiration takes place in two stages. External
respiration is the exchange of gases between the air and the blood. Internal respiration is the
exchange of gases between the blood and the cells.
Philippines 3800
External respiration takes place at the alveoli. The surfaces of the alveoli are covered with a
network of tiny blood vessels that are called CAPILLARIES. The walls of the alveoli are one cell
thick. The walls of the capillaries are also one cell thick. By diffusion, oxygen passes from the
alveoli in the lungs into the capillaries across two rows of cells. At the same time, carbon dioxide
passes from the capillaries to the alveoli across the same two rows of cells.
Why do we believe that life is possible only on planets where oxygen is present? Oxygen is
necessary for life to exist. Without it, the cells in the body would not be able to release the energy in
food for power, and they would die within minutes. When you inhale air, your respiratory system
gets oxygen. When you exhale, carbon dioxide is released.
The Circulatory System

Figure 4. The human circulatory system

Philippines 3800
The circulatory system is the life support structure that
nourishes your cells with nutrients from the food you eat and
oxygen from the air you breathe. It can be compared to a complex
arrangement of highways, avenues and lanes connecting all the
cells together into a neighborhood. Sequentially, the community of
cells sustains the body to stay alive. Another name for the
circulatory system is the cardiovascular system. The circulatory
system functions with other body systems to deliver different
materials in the body. It circulates vital elements such as oxygen
and nutrients. At the same time, it also transports wastes away
from the body. There are two divisions of this system, the
lymphatic, which helps to return tissue fluid to the blood, and the
blood division, which is a closed circuit.
The following are the three major parts of the circulatory system, with their roles:
1. Heart – pumps the blood throughout the body
2. Blood vessel – carries the blood throughout the body
a. Arteries - carry oxygenated blood away from the heart to the cells, tissues and organs of the
body
b. Veins - carry deoxygenated blood to the heart
c. Capillaries - the smallest blood vessels in the body, connecting the smallest arteries to the
smallest veins. The actual site where gases and nutrients are exchanged
3. Blood – carries the materials throughout the body

Activity 4: Let’s Organize!

Objectives:
a. Identify the components of the circulatory system
Philippines 3800
b. Explain the different types of circulation
Procedure:
Using the given graphic organizer, fill in the missing parts, description, and functions to complete
the entire concept.
Figure 6: Circulatory System Concept
The heart has two pumps. Each pump has two chambers, the upper and lower chambers. The upper
chamber is the atrium that receives blood coming in from the veins. The lower chamber is the
ventricle that forces the blood out into the arteries. There is a valve between each atrium and
ventricle to prevent the blood from flowing backwards. The valves are like one-way doors that keep
the blood moving in only one direction. Valves control movement of blood into the heart chambers
and out to the aorta and the pulmonary artery. Refer to Figure 8.

Philippines 3800
Since you have already understood how the heart functions and how blood is pumped all
over the body, you are now ready to check your own heart rate. Your heart beat is the sound that
your heart makes as it pumps blood. Let us further investigate about it in the next activity.
Activity 5: The Rhythm of My Heart
Objectives:
 Measure and describe your pulse (heart rate) after several different activities
 Explain how to use different time intervals to measure your heart rate
Materials:
Stopwatch / timer
Data Logbook

Philippines 3800
Procedure:
1. Sit quietly for a few minutes before beginning the activity.
2. When you are ready, place your first two fingers either on your neck or on the inside of your wrist
and locate your pulse.
3. Once you find your pulse, start the watch, and for 60 seconds, count the number of beats you feel.
That is your pulse.
4. Try the experiment again, but this time count for only 30 seconds. When you are done, multiply
your count by two. Compare your pulses.
5. Repeat by counting for 15 seconds and multiplying your count by four, then counting for 10
seconds and multiplying by six, and so on.
6. Once you have determined your resting pulse, go to a place where you can exercise vigorously for
at least one minute. Exercise of this sort might include a fast jog, running stairs, skipping rope, or
doing pushups. When you are done, you should be breathing hard.
7. Choose the length of the test you wish to perform and find your pulse again.
8. Compare your resting pulse with your pulse after exercise.
9. After the activity, record your observations and answer the guide questions.
Guide Questions:
Q1. What was your calculated resting pulse?
______________________________________________________________________
Q2. What was your pulse after exercising?
______________________________________________________________________
Q3. How would you differentiate your heart rates before and after exercising?
______________________________________________________________________
Q4. What is the advantage of timing for a full minute to find your pulse?
Note:
Q5. What is the advantage of timing over a shorter period of time, especially when you have just
finished exercising?
______________________________________________________________________
Q6. According to statistics, the maximum heart rate should be 220 minus a person's age. How would
you interpret your highest heart rate in relation to that given number?
______________________________________________________________________
Now that you are aware that strenuous activities may lead to an increased heart rate, you can
now monitor your activities to avoid the dangers of cardio-respiratory diseases. Another risk factor
that drastically increases heart rate and decreases the amount of oxygen in the blood is smoking
cigarettes.
The leading causes of death around the world are diseases affecting the respiratory and
circulatory systems. However, they can be prevented simply by having a lifestyle that promotes
Philippines 3800
wellness. Circulatory and respiratory diseases begin to develop with unhealthy living. Symptoms of
these illnesses must not be neglected and appropriate cure must be given immediately.
The Blood Vessels

Figure 10. Flow of blood
The circulatory system is a closed

system. This means that the blood stays
inside the heart and a set of tubes as it
circulates. Your blood moves through your
body in tubes called VESSELS. There are
three kinds of blood vessels that make up the
circulatory system: ARTERIES, VEINS,
and CAPILLARIES. The arteries carry
blood away from the heart. The veins carry
blood towards the heart. The capillaries are
very small tubes that connect the arteries to
the veins. The blood vessels form an intricate transportation network to service every cell.
Transportation is the function of the circulatory system. The human body has 100,000 kilometers of
blood vessels. If laid end to end, a person’s blood vessels would circle the earth twice!
Arteries. Arteries have thick, muscular walls. They are elastic and expand every time the ventricles
contract. The force of the heart pumping keeps the blood moving through the arteries. Arteries carry
blood away from the heart. The blood in the arteries is bright red because it contains much oxygen.
The large artery is the AORTA. This is the first artery leaving the heart to the body. The arteries
branch into smaller and smaller vessels, which end at the capillaries.
Veins. Veins have muscular walls too, but they are thinner than the walls of the arteries. There are
one-way valves inside the veins to prevent the blood from flowing backwards. Blood is moved along
when you move your muscles. This squeezes the blood inside the veins and pushes the blood
towards the heart. Veins carry blood to the heart. The blood in the veins is blue in color because it
lacks oxygen. You can see some of your veins because they are right under the surface of the skin.
The veins begin at the capillaries and join into larger veins until the largest vein empties into the
heart.
Capillaries. Capillaries are tiny vessels that connect arteries to veins. The capillaries are so small
that the red blood cells must pass through them in single file. Also, the walls of the capillaries are
only one cell thick. The work of the circulatory system takes place at the capillaries. It is here that

Philippines 3800
the exchange of materials between the blood and the cells takes place. At the capillaries, food and
oxygen pass from the blood to the cells. Also, carbon dioxide and waste products pass from the cells
to the blood. The circulatory system is really two separate systems. One part of the system pumps
blood to the lungs. Another part of the system pumps blood to the body. Blood must go to the lungs
to pick up oxygen before it can go to the body.

The blood is a fluid that carries most of the materials necessary for life. The blood has two different
parts. The nonliving, liquid part is called PLASMA. It is a yellowish fluid that makes up 55 percent
of your blood. The remaining 45 percent is made up of three kinds of cells: red blood cells, white
blood cells and platelets.
Plasma is the fluid part of the blood in which the blood cells coat is a yellowish substance composed
of 92% water and 8% of dissolved nutrients, mineral salts, antibodies and hormones.
The proteins present in the plasma are:

1. Albumin – helps in keeping the blood pressure normal. It regulates
the amount of water in the plasma.
2. Globulin – contains antibodies.
3. Chemical Substances – effective against specific diseases
4. Fibrinogen – works with platelets in the clotting process.
Red Blood Cells (RBC) are also called erythrocytes.

They are the most numerous cells in the blood. Each liter of
blood contains 4.5 to 6 trillion red blood cells. The main
component of red blood cells is the pigment known as
hemoglobin. Hemoglobin in the RBC binds and carries
oxygen.
White Blood Cells (WBC) are larger and less
numerous than RBC (red blood cells). WBC (white blood
cells), also called leukocytes, contain nuclei and other types
of organelles. WBC may circulate in the blood for weeks
before leaving the blood and entering other tissues. WBC help defend the body against infection.

Summary
 Air enters the body through the nose, nasal passages, and then through windpipe or trachea,
which divides into two branches, called bronchial tubes or bronchi. The bronchi subdivide
many times inside the lungs, forming hairlike tubes called bronchioles. At the end of the
bronchioles are tiny bubble-like structures called alveoli.
 When you breathe in or inhale, the diaphragm muscle contracts. When you breathe out, or
exhale, the diaphragm muscle relaxes. The diaphragm helps the air go in and out of the
lungs.
 Air first enters your lungs and then into the left part of your heart. It is then pumped by your
heart into the bloodstream, all the way through your body. Once it reaches the cells, oxygen
processes the nutrients to release energy. Carbon dioxide is the waste material given off
during this process. The blood delivers carbon dioxide into the right portion of your heart,
from which it is pumped to the lungs. Carbon dioxide leaves your body through the lungs
when you exhale. The heart is a hollow muscular organ, about the size of your fist, which is
located in the center of your chest between the lungs. It is a double pump that pumps on the
left and right sides. Each side is divided across into two chambers. The top chamber is called
the atrium. The bottom chamber is called the ventricle. The valve acts as one-way door,
allowing blood to flow either forward into the next chamber, or out of the heart.
 Heart rate or pulse is the number of times your heart beats in a minute (BPM or beats per
minute). When you are resting, your heart rate slows down, as your body does not need as
much oxygen as it does when you exercise.
 Cigarette smoking harms nearly every organ in the body, causing many illnesses and
affecting health in general. The negative effects of smoking on the circulatory system include
increased heart rate and blood pressure, coronary heart disease, arteriosclerosis, and vascular
diseases. The respiratory diseases caused by smoking are chronic bronchitis, emphysema,
asthma, cough, colds, tuberculosis, lung cancer, and other respiratory infections.
 The best way to prevent diseases in the respiratory and circulatory systems is to have a
healthy lifestyle, which includes balanced diet, regular exercise, adequate rest, proper
hygiene, and avoiding vices such as cigarette smoking and alcohol drinking. Circulatory and
respiratory disease can easily be detected with regular health check-up and physical
screening.
