I. INTRODUCTION:
You were introduced to respiratory system in the last supplementary module that you had
answered. Now, you will learn how circulatory system work to transport oxygen – rich blood and
nutrients to the different parts of the body.
Circulatory system is responsible for distributing materials throughout the body.
All cells in the body need to have oxygen and nutrients, and they need their wastes
removed. These are the main roles of the circulatory system. The heart, blood and blood vessels
work together to service the cells of the body. Using the network of arteries, veins and capillaries,
blood carries carbon dioxide to the lungs (for exhalation) and picks up oxygen. From the small
intestine, the blood gathers food nutrients and delivers them to every cell.

II. MOST ESSENTIAL LEARNING COMPETENCY (MELC):

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. (S9LT-la-b-26)

III. OBJECTIVES:
1. Identify the parts of circulatory system.
2. Explain the functions of the heart, blood and blood vessels in the circulatory system.
3. Describe blood flow and gas exchange within the heart
4. Illustrate how the organs work together in circulation
5. Identify the parts of the heart

IV. ACTIVITIES:

Directions: Form words from the given jumbled letters. These words should be connected
with circulatory system.

1. THREA –
- It pumps blood around the body. It sits inside the chest, in front of the lungs and slightly to the left
side.
2. NEVI –
- carry deoxygenated blood from the body to the heart, where it can be sent to the lungs. carry
deoxygenated blood from the body to the heart, where it can be sent to the lungs.

3. BOLDO –
- carries the materials throughout the body

4. TARYRE –
- carry oxygenated blood away from the heart to the cells, tissues and organs of the body

5. PILARALCY –
- the smallest blood vessels in the body, connecting the smallest arteries to the smallest veins

B. ENGAGE

ACTIVITY: CONNECT THE DOT
Directions: Connect the yellow dots to illustrate the gas exchange activity within the lungs,
capillary and the heart. Don’t forget to include the arrow heads to determine where it starts.

 D. EXPLAIN
What are the parts of Circulatory System?

1. Blood
Blood consists of:
 Red blood cells – to carry oxygen
 White blood cells – that make up part of the immune system
 Platelets – needed for clotting
 Plasma – blood cells, nutrients and wastes float in this liquid.

2. Heart
iv
The heart pumps blood around the body. It sits inside the chest, in front of the lungs and slightly to
the left side. The heart is actually a double pump made up of four
chambers, with the flow of blood going in one direction due to the
presence of the heart valves. The contractions of the chambers
make the sound of heartbeats.

What Are the Parts of the Heart?

The heart has four chambers — two on top and two on bottom:
 The two bottom chambers are the right ventricle and the left
ventricle. These pump blood out of the heart. A wall called
the interventricular septum is between the two ventricles.
 The two top chambers are the right atrium and the left
atrium. They receive the blood entering the heart. A wall called the interatrial septum is
between the atria

3. Blood vessels
Blood vessels have a range of different sizes and structures, depending on their role in the body.
 Arteries
Oxygenated blood is pumped from the heart along arteries, which are muscular. Arteries divide like
tree branches until they are slender. The largest artery is the aorta, which connects to the heart and
picks up oxygenated blood from the left ventricle. The only artery that picks up deoxygenated blood
is the pulmonary artery, which runs between the heart and lungs.
 Capillaries
The arteries eventually divide down into the smallest blood vessel, the capillary. Capillaries are so
small that blood cells can only move through them one at a time. Oxygen and food nutrients pass
from these capillaries to the cells. Capillaries are also connected to veins, so wastes from the cells
can be transferred to the blood.
 Veins
Veins have one-way valves instead of muscles, to stop blood from running back the wrong way.
Generally, veins carry deoxygenated blood from the body to the heart, where it can be sent to the
lungs. The exception is the network of pulmonary veins, which take oxygenated blood from the
lungs to the heart.

CIRCULATION

TYPE OF CIRCULATION
1. Pulmonary Circulation - Movement of blood from the heart, to the lungs, and back to the
heart
2. Coronary Circulation- Movement of blood through the tissues of the heart
3. Systemic Circulation- Movement of blood from the heart to the rest of the body, excluding
the lungs.
