LESSON 1: Circulation of Blood
SESSION 1
 Riddle Time: Who am I?
Directions: In each item are jumbled letters that depicts the parts of the heart. Rearrange the jumbled letters
to form a word given a brief description, then a numbered letter was assigned to complete the answer to the
riddle. Write all numbered letters at the bottom to derive the answer to the heart cryptogram.

CIRCULATION
The flow of fluid, especially blood, through the tissues of an
organism to allow for the transport and exchange of blood gases,
nutrients, and waste products.

Do you know that your heart is as big as
your fist?

The heart is a large muscular organ

which constantly pushes oxygen-rich
blood to the brain and extremities and
transports oxygen-poor blood from the
brain and extremities to the lungs to
gain oxygen.
It has four chambers with specific tasks to do:

1. Right Atrium

2. Left Atrium

3. Right Ventricle

4. Left Ventricle
The upper chamber is called an
atrium (plural atria)

The lower chamber is called a

ventricle.
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 ventricle).
The heart has two sides, separated
by an inner wall called septum.

The right side of the heart pumps

blood to the lungs to pick up oxygen.

The left side of the heart receives

oxygen rich blood from the lungs and
pumps it to the body.

There is a valve between each

atrium and ventricle.
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.
The mitral valve or bicuspid valve is located
between the left atrium and left ventricle
while tricuspid valve is located between the
right atrium and right ventricle.
Pulmonary Valve is located between the right
ventricle and pulmonary artery.

When closed, it prevents the back flow of blood as it is

pumped from the right ventricle to the pulmonary artery.

When open, it allows oxygen-depleted blood to be

pumped from the right ventricle to the pulmonary artery.
This blood goes onto the lungs where it picks up oxygen.

Aortic Valve is located between the left ventricle and

aorta.

When closed, it allows blood from the left atrium to fill the
left ventricle and prevents the back flow of blood that is
pumped from the left ventricle to the aorta.

When open, oxygen-rich blood can flow to the aorta

and onto the rest of the body.
The superior vena cava (or SVC) is a large valve which
receive blood from the upper half part of the body and
returns it to right atrium.

The inferior vena cava (or IVC) is a large vein that carries
the deoxygenated blood from the lower and middle body
into the right atrium of the heart.

A pulmonary artery is an artery in the pulmonary

circulation that carries deoxygenated blood from the right
side of the heart to the lungs.

Aorta is the main and largest artery in the human

body, supplying oxygenated blood to the circulatory
system.

The pulmonary veins transfer oxygenated blood

from the lungs to the heart

Circulatory Systems Work Together
SESSION 1
Objectives:
At the end of the disussion, you should be able
to:
1. explain the mechanism of how the respiratory
and circulatory systems work together
 1. The oxygen-poor (carbon dioxide) enters the heart.

2. The heart pumps blood into to the lungs

The Collab:
Circulatory System 3. Red blood cells takes-in oxygen in the lungs and
(Heart) and exchange it with carbon dioxide.
Respiratory System
(Lungs)
4. Oxygen-rich (oxygenated) blood cells travel back to
the heart.

5. The heart pumps out oxygen-rich blood to the upper

and lower body parts and distributes nutrients and
oxygen.

6. The blood, having given up its oxygen and takes in

carbon dioxide from the upper and lower body parts
move back to the heart.
