FILL IN THE BLANKS. Fill in the blanks with the appropriate term/s to complete the
thought of the blood flow through the heart to the lungs. Choose your answers from the
choices given in the box.
aorta Inferior Vena Cava Left atrium Veins

Tricuspid Valve Biscuspid Valve Superior Vena Cava lungs

Deoxygenated blood Pleural Sacs Backflow Right atrium

The 6._________ carry the deoxygenated blood (meaning, the oxygen has been used
up already) and, passing through the inferior and 7.________________, blood is brought to
the right atrium. From the 8._______________, blood then passes through the 9.
______________ which is located between the right atrium and right ventricle. As the right
ventricle contracts, the tricuspid valve closes to prevent the 10._______________ of blood.
This contraction generates pressure to pump the 11. ___________________ into the
pulmonary artery, and from there, the blood enters the 12. _______________. In the lungs,
gas exchange happens generating oxygenated blood to be carried by the pulmonary veins
back to the heart through the 13.________________. When the left atrium contracts, the
14.__________________ opens and delivers the blood into the left ventricle. The left ventricle
then forces the blood into the 15. _______________for the delivery of oxygen and other
nutrients to all parts of the body. The cycle is repeated over and over to complete the whole
circulatory process.

MULTIPLE CHOICE. Read the following items carefully then choose the best answer
from the choices given.
1. This are pathways that enable the blood to travel throughout the body.
a. muscles c. Blood vessels
b. joints d. bones
2. The blood vessel that transports blood away from the heart.
a. arteries c. capillaries
b. veins d. venules
3. The blood vessel that return blood back toward the heart.
a. arteries c. capillaries
b. veins d. venules
4. The blood vessel that surround the body cells and tissues to deliver and absorb
oxygen, nutrients and other substances.
a. arteries c. capillaries
b. veins d. venules
5. The relaxation of ____________________ causes the vessel walls to push back
organs that decrease force causing the blood flow to slow down.
a. ventricles c. venules
b. arterioles d. aorta

TRUE OR FALSE. Write T if the statement/s are correct and F if it is incorrect.

6. The left ventricle of the heart pumps oxygenated blood into the aorta.
7. After the capillaries release oxygen and other substances from blood into body
tissues, they feed the blood back toward the veins.
8. In the heart, capillaries absorb oxygen from inhaled air into the bloodstream
and release carbon dioxide for exhalation.
9. The arteries absorb carbon dioxide and other waste products from the tissues
and then flow the deoxygenated blood into the veins.
10.The walls of veins are thicker than the walls of arteries.

THE BODY:

TRUE OR FALSE. Write T if the statement/s are correct and F if it is not.

1. The circulatory system is a closed circuit which carries the oxygen-rich blood needed
for cellular respiration to every cell in the body.
2. Deoxygenated blood leaves the lungs, goes to the heart, and then re-enters the lungs.
3. The pulmonary circulation loop is virtually bypassed in fetal circulation.
4. In systemic circulation, oxygenated blood is pumped from the left ventricle, into the
aorta.
5. From the tissue capillaries, the deoxygenated blood returns through a system of
veins to the left atrium of the heart.
6. The pulmonary circulation provides the functional blood supply to all body tissue.
7. Pulmonary circulation carries oxygenated blood from the left ventricle, through the
arteries, to the capillaries in the tissues of the body.
8. The superior vena cava and inferior vena cava carry deoxygenated blood and blood
containing waste products away from the cells and tissues back to the right
atrium.
9. The vessels of the systemic circulation are the pulmonary arteries and the
pulmonary veins.
10. During development, 0ver the course of several months, the foramen ovale closes,
leaving a shallow depression known as the ductus arteriosus.

Activity 3
PARTS AND FUNCTIONS OF THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM

Objectives: Label the parts of the respiratory system and familiarize the respiratory
process.
Materials: Activity sheet, pen
Procedure: Below is a graphic illustration of the human respiratory system in the body.
Label the parts then arrange the respiratory process below.

Worksheet 1- Module 1/Prepared by: MJD

 Page 12

Order the sentences for the respiratory process from 1-6.

_________ When you exhale, the carbon dioxide goes out the same way, exiting your body
through your nose and mouth.
_________First, you breathe air in through your nose (nostrils) and mouth.
_________ When you inhale, the air goes through the bronchi in your lungs to blood
vessels that connect to veins and arteries which carry the blood throughout the
body.
_________Then the air travels through the voice box, down your windpipe, and through
two bronchi (bronchial tubes in your lungs).
_________At the end of the smallest branches of the bronchi are tiny air sacs called
alveoli. This air sacs have a very thin wall that allows oxygen to be passed to red blood
cells as they are passing by. They also help to clean out waste gas (carbon dioxide) from
our blood cells.
_________ The diaphragm, abdominal muscles, and other muscles help your lungs
expand and contract so you can inhale and exhale.
