Grade 9 Module WK 1-2
OBJECTIVES
1. Explain how the Respiratory and Circulatory systems work together to transport nutrients, gases,
and other molecules to and from the different parts of the body.
2. Infer how one’s lifestyle can affect the functioning of the respiratory and circulatory systems.
3. Write down a one week routine that includes taking care of respiratory and circulatory systems.
LESSON CONTENT
I. PRE - ACTIVITIES
A. Perform an exercise for five(5) minutes. After performing it, observe what happens to your body.
Answer the following questions:
3. Did the color of your skin change during exercise? What might be the causes of this observed
change?
Circulatory System
1. Pulmonary (Lungs) have a spongy textures and a moist
epithelium that serves as the respiratory
face.
Did you
know?
The weight
of a heart
in an
average
human
being is
300g.
PARTS FUNCTIONS
1.Left and Right Atria The right atrium receives deoxygenated blood
from systemic veins; the left atrium receives
oxygenated blood from the pulmonary veins.
2. Left and Right Ventricles The right ventricle pumps the oxygen-poor blood
to the lungs through the pulmonary valve. The
left atrium receives oxygen-rich blood from the
lungs and pumps it to the left ventricle through
the mitral valve. The left ventricle pumps the
oxygen-rich blood through the aortic valve out to
the rest of the body.
3. Septum A wall that separates right and left atrium.
4. Valve Connects each atrium to the ventricle below it.
A. Mitral or Bicuspid Valve A. Connects the left atrium with the left ventricle
B. Tricuspid Valve B. Connects the right atrium with the right
ventricle
COMPONENTS
BLOOD VESSELS
1. Arteries Oxygen rich blood enters. Aorta is the main
artery.
Pulmonary artery carry oxygen- poor blood
away from the heart to the lung.
2. Veins Waste products are collected and the waste
rich blood flow into the veins. It returns
blood to the heart, carry blood without
oxygen.
Pulmonary veins carry oxygen rich blood
from the lungs to the heart.
3. Capillaries Oxygen rich blood enters the capillaries
where the oxygen and nutrients are
released- tiny vessels.
HARMFUL SUBSTANCES THAT CAN AFFECT THE CIRCULATORY AND THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM:
Artificial
Heart: Is it
: for real???
Dr. Denton
Cooley in 1969,
: the first artificial
implant.
LESSON SUMMARY
Circulatory System- the system of organs and tissues, including the heart, blood, blood vessels,
lymph, lymphatic vessels and glands,involved in circulating blood and lymph through the body.
Coronary circulation- the movement of the blood through the tissues if the heart.
Heart- the chambered muscular organ in vertebrates that pumps blood received from the
veins into the arteries, thereby maintaining the flow of the blood through the entire
circulatory system.
Blood- fluid consisting of plasma, blood cells, and platelets that is circulated by the heart
through the vertebrate vascular system, carrying oxygen and nutrients to and waste materials
away from all body tissues.
RBC- a cell in the blood of vertebrates that transports oxygen and carbon dioxide to and from
the tissues.
Plasma- the clear, yellowish fluid portion of the blood, lymph, or intramuscular fluids in which
cells are suspended.
Systemic Circulation- circulation that supplies blood to all body except to the lungs.
Pulmonary Circulation- circulation of blood between the heart and the lungs.
