    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 circulatory system
    functions with other
    body systems to deliver
    different materials in the
    body. It circulates vital
    elements such as oxygen
    and nutrients. At the
    same time, it also
    transports wastes away
    from the body.
    The following are the three major parts of the
    circulatory system, with their roles:
    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
    - the actual site where gases and nutrients
    are exchanged
    3. Blood – carries the materials throughout the
    body
    The Human Heart Do you
    know how big your heart
    is? Take a look at your fist.
    The heart is a hollow
    muscle, 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 ventricle).
    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 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.
    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 intervals may
    be 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, as your body does not need as much
    blood as it does when you exercise.

    Heart rate or pulse is the number of times your


    heart beats in a minute (BPM or beats per minute).
    When you are resting, your heart rate slows down, as
    your body does not need as much oxygen as it does
    when you exercise.
    Now that you are aware that strenuous activities may lead to an increased heart rate,
    you can now monitor your activities to avoid the dangers of cardio-respiratory
    diseases. Another risk factor that drastically increases heart rate and decreases the
    amount of oxygen in the blood is smoking cigarettes. Perform the next simple
    activity to learn more about the negative effects of cigarettes on a person’s
    circulatory and respiratory systems.

    DISEASES OF THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM

    1. Asthma - a common, continuing respiratory condition that causes difficulty


    breathing due to inflammation of the airways.
    2. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) - the development of
    sputum makes the infected suffer from difficulty in breathing.
    3. Chronic bronchitis - a disease that makes the bronchial tubes swell.
    4. Emphysema - another form of COPD that causes damage to
    the air sacs in the lungs or alveoli.
    5. Lung Cancer - bumps are shaped in the lungs that cause
    cancer.
    6. Tuberculosis - mycobacterium targets the lungs and damages
    the other parts of the body.
    7. Pneumonia - the swelling of alveoli is caused by bacteria, virus,
    or fungi.
    8. Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) - this new disease comes
    from a type of coronavirus named SARS-CoV-2. Symptoms show
    up to 14 days. Some are asymptomatic that no symptoms show,
    but they are already infected and can spread the virus if not in
    isolation.
    DISEASES OF THE CIRCULATORY SYSTEM

    1.Atherosclerosis/Arteriosclerosis - makes the arteries


    hard caused by high consumption of a fatty diet that
    leaves fat deposits on the lining of the blood vessels.
    These fat deposits make the arteries rigid.
    2.Heart Attack - is caused when the heart is blocked from
    blood supply due to a blood clot.
    3.Myocardial ischemia - the buildup of fat deposits
    congests the blood flow to the heart.
    4.High cholesterol - cholesterol-rich food excessive
    consumption may lead to hypertension.
    5. Heart Failure - the unstable behavior of the heart
    cannot pump sufficient blood for the body’s needs.
    6. Stroke - can happen if a vessel that supplies blood to
    the brain either becomes blocked by a blood clot or
    bursts. These stop blood flow and prevent oxygen from
    getting to the brain.
    7. High Blood Pressure (Hypertension) - the elevation of
    blood pressure in the vessels gets too high that it can
    trigger other diseases.
    8. Anemia - the insufficient supply of red blood cells in the
    blood can make you feel easily tired.
    Activity 7 Cigarette Smoking Is Dangerous to Your Health

    Objective: Explain the negative effects of cigarette smoking on the


    circulatory and respiratory systems
    Procedure: 1. Look at the picture of the smoker’s body below, and take note of the
    illnesses that might develop due to cigarette smoking.
    Procedure: 1. Look at the picture of the smoker’s body below, and take
    note of the illnesses that might develop due to cigarette smoking.
