Introductory Message
For the facilitator:

Welcome to the Science 9 Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM) Module on

The Human Circulatory System

This module was collaboratively designed, developed and reviewed by

educators both from public and private institutions to assist you, the teacher
or facilitator in helping the learners meet the standards set by the K to 12
Curriculum while overcoming their personal, social, and economic
constraints in schooling.

This learning resource hopes to engage the learners into guided and
independent learning activities at their own pace and time. Furthermore,
this also aims to help learners acquire the needed 21st century skills while
taking into consideration their needs and circumstances.

In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in
the body of the module:

Notes to the Teacher

In view to the new normal world we are facing, this
module was created to answer that education
should not stop for our learners.
This Science 9 Module for Quarter 1 is all about the
Human Circulatory System. With this we are trying
to allow our learners to work independently in
discovering through simple and enjoyable
activities/ experimentation that are aligned to the
competencies that they should learn.

As a facilitator, you are expected to orient the learners on how to use

this module. You also need to keep track of the learners' progress while
allowing them to manage their own learning. Furthermore, you are expected
to encourage and assist the learners as they do the tasks included in the
module.

 What is It

Circulatory System

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 three major parts of the circulatory system and their functions.
1. Heart – pumps the blood throughout the body
2. Blood vessel – carries the blood throughout the body
 Arteries – carry oxygenated blood away from the heart to the
cells, tissues, and organs of the body
 Veins – carry deoxygenated blood to the heart
 Capillaries – the smallest blood vessels in the body,
connecting the smallest arteries to the smallest veins and the
actual site where gases and nutrients are exchanged.
3. Blood – carries the materials throughout the body.

What is It

The Human Heart

Do you know how big your heart is? Take

a look at your fist. The heart is a hollow muscle,
as seen in Figure 2, which is just as big as your
fist. It has four chambers with specific tasks to
do: two ventricles and two atria. The atria are
the receiving chambers of the heart, accepting
blood from the body (right atrium) and from the
lungs (left atrium). The ventricles are the
pumping chambers, moving blood to the lungs
(right ventricle) and into the body (left Photo Credit:
Alexanderpiavas134
ventricle). (Public Domain)
Figure 4. Photo of an actual human heart

11
 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

Figure 5. The major divisions of the heart

the pulmonary artery.

All of the muscle tissues of the heart do not contract at the same time.
Different parts of the heart contract at different times. When the top portion
contracts, the bottom part relaxes. When the bottom contracts, the top
relaxes. When a chamber contracts, it becomes smaller and the blood inside
gets squeezed or pumped out.

 What is It

The heart is a fist-sized,

muscular organ that pumps
blood through the body.
Oxygen-poor blood enters the
right atrium of the heart (via
veins called the inferior vena
cava and the superior vena
cava). The blood is then
pumped into the right ventricle
and then through the
pulmonary artery to the lungs,
where the blood is enriched
with oxygen (and lose carbon
dioxide). The oxygen-rich
(oxygenated) blood is then
carried back to the left atrium Source: https://api.kramesstaywell.com/Content/ebd5aa86-5c85-4a95-a92a-
a524015ce556/ucr-images-v1/Images/illustration-of-the-anatomy-of-the-heart-normal-125864

of the heart via the pulmonary

vein. The blood is then pumped
to the left ventricle, then the blood is pumped through the aorta and to the
rest of the body. The cycle is repeated. Every day, the heart pumps about
2,000 gallons (7,600 liters) of blood, beating about 100,000 times .

Lesson

4 The Heart Pulse and Heart Rate

Pulse, check! Rate, Check! Learning, oops, I can’t check it alone. You
know better. Let us check this out together. Our goals are just below, pal.

What’s In
Activity 1. Sequence of Interest!

Directions: Rank 1-4 the following activities based on your interest and
answer the question below.

21
1. What is your first choice? Why?

2. What is your last choice? Why?

Activity 2. Know Me!

Directions: Identify from the box the term being describe in each item.

1. Thud-thud, the rhythm of the heart. Heart rate

2. Organ that pumps the blood.
3. The throbbing felt in your wrist or neck Heart beat
caused by your heart pumping. Heart
4. The speed that your heart beats in a Pulse
minute.

What is It

Each time your heart beats, it delivers oxygen-rich blood to your body,
which allows it to function properly. Your heart rate or pulse is the number
of times your heart beats in a minute (BPM or beats per minute).
Shorter time interval maybe used in taking the pulse as long as it comes
to 60 seconds upon multiplying with a factor. When you are resting, your
heart rate slows down, because your body does not need as much blood as it
does when you exercise.
Normal heart rates at rest: children (ages 6 - 15) 70 – 100 beats per
minute and adults (age 18 and over) 60 – 100 beats per minute.

22
How to Find Your Heart Rate?
 Place two fingers on your neck or your
wrist. Move them around until you feel a
pulse beat.
 Count the beats for 30 seconds. Have a
partner time you with the watch
(parents, guardian or sibling).
 Multiply the number of beats by two.
That number is your heart rate for one
minute.
Hearts Are Hard Workers
To prove it, try this. Squeeze a
tennis ball as hard as you can
and let go. That’s how hard
your heart works to pump
blood through your body. Now
try to squeeze the ball for one
minute to match your heart
