PREVENTION and
Lesson
TREATMENT OF
1 RESPIRATORY AND
CIRCULATORY DISEASES
In the previous lesson you have learned the different structures of the
respiratory and circulatory systems and how they work together to deliver
oxygen rich blood and nutrients to our different parts of the body. In this
module, you will understand and recognize the ways of prevention, detection,
and treatment of diseases affecting our respiratory and circulatory system.
Specifically, the activities in this module will be enable you to explain the
negative effects of cigarette smoking on the circulatory and respiratory
systems, identify ways to detect and prevent diseases in the respiratory and
circulatory systems, and appreciate the importance of a healthy lifestyle in
avoiding such disease.
What’s In
Now, you are aware that strenuous/heavy activities may lead to an increased heart
rate. There are other factors that can increase heart rate and decrease the amount
of oxygen in the blood. In your home or in your neighborhood, what have you
observed in a smoker or alcoholic person? List down your observations on a sheet
of paper or in your notebook.

GUIDE QUESTIONS:

What is It
Cigarette smoking harms nearly every organ in the body, causing many diseases
and affecting health in general. The negative effects of smoking on circulatory
system include increased heart rate and blood pressure, coronary heart disease,
arteriosclerosis, and vascular diseases. The respiratory diseases caused by smoking
are chronic bronchitis, emphysema, asthma, cough, colds, tuberculosis, lung
cancer and other respiratory infections.
The leading causes of death around the world are diseases affecting the respiratory
and circulatory systems. However, they can be prevented simply by having a
lifestyle that promotes wellness. Circulatory and respiratory diseases begin to
develop with unhealthy lifestyle. Symptoms of these illnesses must not be neglected
and appropriate cure must be given immediately.
EMPHYSEMA
ARTERIOSCLEROSIS
Atherosclerosis happens when the plaque collects and causes arteries to narrow
and harden due to factors such as smoking, high blood pressure and cholesterol in
the blood. The difference between Atherosclerosis and Arteriosclerosis is that
Atherosclerosis refers to buildup of fats, cholesterol and other substances that
triggers to blood clot while the Arteriosclerosis occurs when the blood vessels that
carry oxygen and nutrients from the heart and to the rest of the body become
thickens and hardens.A person with atherosclerosis or arteriosclerosis is advised
to undergo medication and surgical procedure and treatment to change lifestyle.
13
CORONARY HEART DISEASES
Coronary heart disease develops when the major blood vessels that supply our
heart with blood, oxygen and nutrients become damaged. This disease can be
caused by high cholesterol foods, diabetes, family history and smoking.
BRONCHITIS
PNEUMONIA
ASTHMA
TUBERCULOSIS
Treatment for active TB may involve taking several drugs for 6–9 months. When a
person has a drug resistant strain of TB, the treatment will be more complex.TB
Dots is a short-course treatment given to the tuberculosis (TB) control strategy
recommended by the World Health Organization.According to WHO, "The most
14
cost-effective way to stop the spread of TB in communities with a high incidence is
by curing it.
Prevention :
The following could help prevent diseases related to the circulatory and respiratory
systems.
•Quit/stop smoking
•Exercise regularly
•Enough rest/sleep
