C. Engagement What is More?
 In their notebook, the learners will answer the Learning Task No.4 by reading the
handout about the heart and blood circulation. After reading the hand outs,
the learners will answer the following questions.

Learning Task 4:
Handout: The Heart and Blood Circulation

The human heart consists of four chambers: The left and right atrium
which are the receiving chambers contracts to push blood into the lower
chambers. The left and right ventricles which act as the pumping chambers propel
blood to the lungs or to the rest of the human body.

There are two distinct but linked circuits in the human circulation called
the pulmonary and systemic circuits. Both circuits transport blood and gases. The
pulmonary circuit transports blood to and from the lungs, where it picks up
oxygen and delivers carbon dioxide for exhalation. The systemic circuit transports
oxygenated blood to virtually all the tissues of the body and returns relatively
deoxygenated blood and carbon dioxide to the heart to be sent back to the
pulmonary circulation.

The right ventricle pumps deoxygenated blood into the pulmonary trunk,
which leads toward the lungs and divides into two branches into the left and right
pulmonary arteries. These vessels in turn branch many times before reaching the
pulmonary capillaries, where gas exchange occurs. The carbon dioxide exits the
blood and oxygen enters. The pulmonary trunk arteries and their branches are the
only arteries in the post-natal body that carry relatively deoxygenated blood.

Highly oxygenated blood returning from the pulmonary capillaries in the

lungs passes through a series of vessels that join to form the pulmonary veins—
the only post-natal veins in the body that carry highly oxygenated blood. The
pulmonary veins conduct blood into the left atrium, which pumps the blood into
the left ventricle, which in turn pumps oxygenated blood into the aorta and on to
the many branches of the systemic circuit.

Eventually, these vessels will lead to the systemic capillaries, where ex-
change with the tissue fluid and cells of the body occurs. In this case, oxygen and
nutrients exit the systemic capillaries to be used by the cells in their metabolic
processes, and carbon dioxide and waste products will enter the blood.

The blood exiting the systemic capillaries is lower in oxygen

concentration than when it entered. The capillaries will ultimately unite to form
venules, joining to form ever-larger veins, eventually flowing into the two major
systemic veins, the superior vena cava, and the inferior vena cava, which return
blood to the right atrium. The blood in the superior and inferior venae cava flows
into the right atrium, which pumps blood into the right ventricle. This process of
blood circulation continues if the individual remains alive.

Dual System of the Human Blood Circulation Blood flows from the
right atrium to the right ventricle, where it is pumped into the pulmonary circuit.
The blood in the pulmonary artery branches is low in oxygen but relatively high in
carbon dioxide. Gas exchange occurs in the pulmonary capillaries (oxygen into
the blood, carbon dioxide out), and blood high in oxygen and low in carbon
dioxide is returned to the left atrium. From here, blood enters the left ventricle,
which pumps it into the systemic circuit. Following exchange in the systemic
capillaries (oxygen and nutrients out of the capillaries and carbon dioxide and
wastes in), blood returns to the right atrium and the cycle is repeated.
 Guide Questions:

After reading the handout about the heart and blood circulation, answer the
following questions.

1. What are the two circuits by which the gases are circulated in and out of the
lungs?

2. What tissues in the body transport the nutrients, gases, and other substances
in the human body?
3. Describe the transport of gases in a pulmonary circuit.
4. Describe the transport of gases in a systemic circuit.

What I can Do?

 In their notebook, the learners will answer the Learning Task No. 5 by
examining the diagram showing the pulmonary and systemic circuit. A blood
that carries gases enters the venules and gas ex-change happens in the
capillaries.
 The learners will write the number that corresponds to the correct order by
tracing the blood flow in correct order. Some numbers are indicated already.

Learning Task 5: Examine the diagram showing the pulmonary and systemic
circuit. A blood that carries gases enters the venules and gas ex-change
happens in the capillaries.

Write the number that corresponds to the correct order by tracing the blood flow
in correct order. Some numbers are indicated already.

What Else I Can Do?

 This time, the learners will put their learnings into application.
In this time of COVID-19 pandemic which is an infectious disease caused by
severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), health experts
suggest following minimum health standards like physical distancing, frequent
washing of hands, and the wearing of face masks. What will happen to the viruses
if we inhale them? What should we do then?

What I have learned?

D. Assimilation
 The learners will summarize the lesson by answering the given questions.

1. What is the difference between inhalation and exhalation?

2. What will happen to the body if you hold your breath for a long period of
time?

3. If the flow of blood between the lungs and heart is disrupted, what would
happen to the body?

4. Which is more important? Systemic Circulation or Pulmonary Circulation?

Why?

5. What will happen if the respiratory and circulatory systems stop working
together?
