Activity 1.1B: Inhalation vs. Exhalation

Objectives: a. Explain the breathing mechanism (inhalation and exhalation)

b. Describe what happens during inhalation and exhalation
c. Construct a flow chart showing the pathway of air in the respiratory system
Procedures:
1. Study and use the diagram to answer the question below

What happens to the following when we breathe?

Inhalation Exhalation
Air
Rib Cage
Diaphragm
Lung Volume
Lung Pressure

2. Use a
flowchart to show how breathing (inhalation and exhalation) takes place. You may choose your own design
for the flow chart.

Activity 1.1C: The Human Circulatory System

Objective: Identify the different parts and functions of the circulatory system

Procedures:
1. Label each part of the circulatory system and answer the following questions.

1. What pumps blood through your body?

______________

2. Blood vessels that carry blood away from the

heart are called _______________.

3. Vessels that carry blood back to the heart

are called ______________.

4. Blood moves from arteries to veins through

tiny blood vessels called ________________.

5. The heart, blood vessels and blood make up

the ______________________.

2. Examine the figure and answer the questions.

1. Arteries branching away from the heart become ____________________________________.

(smaller and smaller OR larger and larger)
2. Veins leading back to the heart become ________________________________________.
(smaller and smaller OR larger and larger)
 3. Most of our blood vessels are ______________________________.
(arteries, veins or capillaries)

Activity 1.1D: It Heart’s You Know

Objective: Explain how the heart works

Procedures: Read the selection below and answer the following questions.

The upper chambers of the heart are called the right and left atria. The singular of atria is
atrium.
 The right atrium receives blood from all parts of the body. Blood in the right atrium is
high in carbon dioxide and low in oxygen.
 The left atrium receives blood from the lungs. Blood in the left atrium is high in oxygen
and low in carbon dioxide.  Both atria fill with blood at the same time.

The lower chambers of the heart are the ventricles. The ventricles pump blood out of
the heart.
 The right ventricle pumps blood to the lungs. This blood is high in carbon dioxide and
low in oxygen.
 The left ventricle pumps blood to all parts of the body. Blood in the left ventricle is
high in oxygen. It is low in carbon dioxide.
 Both ventricles pump blood out of the heart at the same time. Every time your heart
beats, blood is being forced out of the ventricles.
The heart and veins have valves that keep the blood from flowing backward. A valve is a
thin flap of tissue.
A muscular wall divides the right side of the heart from the left side. This wall is called
the septum. This is necessary to separate oxygen rich blood from oxygen poor blood.

1. Which chamber receives blood from all the body veins? ____________________________
2. a) The blood passes from this chamber into the _______________________________.
b) While this is happening, the valve between the right atrium and right ventricle is________________________.
3. The blood in the right ventricle is high in ___________________________ and low in _______________.
4. The body __________________ use this blood.
5. Where must this blood go to get a fresh supply of oxygen? _______________________ .
6. Blood pumped out of the right ventricle goes ________________________________.
7. In the lungs, the blood gives up its _____________________ and picks up_______________.
8. Where must the blood go before it can be sent to the entire body?___________________.

Activity 1.1 E: Let’s Circulate!

Objective: Explain the mechanism on how the respiratory and circulatory systems work together to transport nutrients,
gases, and other molecules to and from the different parts of the body.

Materials: blue and red crayon

Procedure:
Blue = oxygen-poor blood Red = oxygen-rich blood
1. Start with oxygen-poor blood (blue) entering the right hand side of the heart (on YOUR left).
2. Follow the arrows and color blue until you reach an ‘x’. At this time, switch color to red.
3. Continue on with red until you reach another ‘x’ then switch to blue.
4. Answer the guide questions.

Guide Questions:
 1. How do the heart and the lungs work together?
2. How will you describe the sequence of oxygen, carbon dioxide and blood flow in your own words?

MELC: Infer how one’s lifestyle can affect the functioning of respiratory and circulatory systems. S9LT-lc-27

Activity 1.2 : Before it’s Too Late!

Objectives: Identify the different habits that may affect the respiratory and circulatory system
Create awareness campaign informing the public about the effects of one’s lifestyle in the respiratory and
circulatory system

Materials : coloring materials, pencil, 1 pc. 1/4 illustration board, marker, pen, notebook,bondpaper
Procedure:
You may choose 1 from the following:
