II. Lesson Proper

● Discuss the meaning of the circulatory system and its major parts.
- The Circulatory System is also known as the cardiovascular system. It is one of the
most important systems of the body.

● Discuss the meaning of cardiovascular endurance.

- Cardiovascular Endurance is the ability of the heart to provide oxygen to muscles

during physical activity for a prolonged period of time.

● Discuss the major parts of the circulatory system and their functions.
 - The Heart is the main organ of the circulatory system. It is the most important
muscle of the body.
- It serves as the "pumping machine of the body".
- The average size of a person's heart can be compared to the size of his/her clenched
fist and weighs about 310 grams.
- Heart is located between the lungs and behind the sternum (breastbone) and is titled
such that its apex (distal or end portion) is directed to the left.

- The heart is divided into two hemispheres: the left and the right.

● Discuss the two hemispheres: the left and the right.

- The right atrium received the oxygen poor-blood

- The right ventricle pump poor-blood to the lungs
- The left atrium receives oxygen rich-blood from the lungs
- The left ventricle pumps oxygen rich-blood going to the different parts of the body
• Discuss the different parts of the human heart and its function

SUPERIOR VENA CAVA

- A large, significant vein responsible for returning deoxygenated blood collected from
the body to the right atrium.

INFERIOR VENA CAVA

- It is the body's largest vein, carrying oxygen-depleted blood back to your heart from
the lower part of your body (below your diaphragm).

PULMONARY ARTERY
- Is an artery in the pulmonary circulation that carries deoxygenated blood from the right
side of the heart to the lungs.

PULMONARY VEIN
- It is the blood vessels that transfer freshly oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left
atria of the heart.

MITRAL VALVE
- The valve between the left atrium and the left ventricle of the heart, consisting of two
tapered cusps.

AORTIC VALVE
- One of four heart valves and is the final one encountered by oxygenated blood as it
leaves the heart.
 TRICUSPID VALVE
- Controls the flow of blood from your heart's right atrium (top chamber) to the right
ventricle (bottom chamber).
PULMONARY VALVE
- One of four valves that control blood flow in the heart.

● Discuss what blood vessels and their function.

- Blood vessels are the pathways that enable blood to travel throughout the body.

● Discuss the three major blood vessels

- The arteries are thick-walled blood vessels that transport blood away from the
heart.Arteries branch out into smaller arteries called arterioles.The aorta is the largest artery in
the body that carries oxygen-rich blood throughout the body from the left side of the heart. The
pulmonary artery carries oxygen-poor blood from the heart to the lungs.
- The veins are thin-walled blood vessels that deliver oxygen-poor blood back to the
heart. Veins have valves which prevent blood from flowing back.
- The capillaries where exchange of gasses, nutrients, and wastes happen. The role of
capillaries is to diffuse blood to tissue cells.

● Discuss the Blood and its functions

BLOOD

- The blood is a tissue made up of plasma and cellular components.

- The study of blood is called hematology.

● Discuss what is plasma and its function

- The plasma is the yellowish liquid portion of the blood. It constitutes about 550/ a
person's total blood volume. It is made up of 90—92% water and 8% solutes, including nutrients,
salt, and protein. Aside from cellular components, it contains hormones, electrolytes, food
materials, glucose, and dissolved gasses, which it distributes throughout the body.

● Discuss blood cellular components and its functions.

- The cellular components of the blood consist of the red blood cells, the white blood
cells, and the platelets.

- The erythrocyte, more popularly known as red blood cell, has a biconcave disk shape
and has bright red to dark purple colors. The primary function of red blood cells (CBC) is to
transport oxygen throughout the whole system. They circulate throughout the whole body within
twenty seconds. There are four to six millions per millimeter cube of blood. They are produced
in the bone marrow and have a lifespan of 100 to 120 days until they are destroyed in the spleen
and liver. Their red color is due to the presence of hemoglobin.

- The leukocyte, more commonly called white blood cell, is larger than RBC and does
not have definite shape. White blood cells (WBC) are responsible for fighting germs and
diseases. They are noted as "soldiers of the body." Once an infection is detected, WBC's eat the
bacteria or produce protective antibodies to overpower the germs. There are about 5 000 WBC's
per milliliter of blood. They are produced in the bone marrow, spleen, and lymph nodes and
have a short lifespan, from a few days to only a few weeks.
 - The thrombocyte, also known as platelet, is a small, irregularly-shaped fragment of
bone marrow and/or large shattered cells. The platelets are responsible for blood clotting or
coagulation, thereby preventing further bleeding. They also help in the repair and regeneration of
connective tissues. They are produced in the bone marrow and have a very short life, from five to
nine days only.

● The teacher will discuss the table below to summarize the functions of the different
cellular components in the blood.

Blood Component Function Source

Red blood cells (RBC) Carry oxygen to different Red bone marrow
parts of the body and
transport carbon dioxide from
the body.

White blood cells (WBC) Fight infection Red bone marrow, spleen, and
lymph nodes

Platelets Blood clotting Red bone marrow

● Discuss the diseases and how to take proper care of the Circulatory System.

Anemia is a disease of the blood wherein blood has low to normal number of red blood
cells. One type of anemia is Iron Deficiency Anemia which is caused by low levels of iron in the
blood that prevents the transport of oxygen.

Symptoms:
- shortness of breath
- lightedness
- dizziness

Septicemia is the clinical name for blood poisoning by bacteria. It is the body’s most
extreme response to an infection. If untreated, septicemia can lead to sepsis, a serious
complication characterized by inflammation throughout the body.

Symptoms:
- high fever
- chills
- rapid breathing
- red spots on the skin
- decrease or no urine output

● Discuss how to take care of our Circulatory System

Proper Care of Circulatory System

- Eating healthy foods
- Avoid smoking
- Get enough sleep
- Avoid people who has flu or other viral infection
 - Have a balanced and healthy diet

● After the discussion, the teacher will post a printed picture of the heart, and the students
will raise their hands to label the parts on the board.
