Competency: Explain the different metabolic processes involved in the various organ
systems S11/12LT -IIIaj-20.3

Objectives:
1. Identify the part of the organ system for circulation.
2. Describe the three kinds of body circulation.
3. Explain the metabolic process happens during the circulation of blood via
the internal transport system.

Introduction:
The blood circulatory system (cardiovascular system) consists of the heart and
the blood vessels running through the entire body. Blood carries things to each cell that
are needed. These things include oxygen and nutrients. In exchange, the blood picks up
waste from the cells, including carbon dioxide, heat and excess water. The heart pumps
blood throughout the body through a closed system of tubes. These tubes that carry the
blood are called blood vessels. There are three types of blood vessels: arteries, veins,
and capillaries. The arteries carry blood away from the heart; the veins carry it back to
the heart.

How the heart works

1. The heart receives oxygen-deficient blood from the body into the right upper
atrium.

2. When the heart contracts, the right lower ventricle will pump the blood into the
lungs, where the carbon dioxide is exchanged for oxygen.

3. After the exchange, the blood containing fresh oxygen flows into the left upper
atrium.

4. Oxygen-rich blood flows from the left upper atrium into the left lower ventricle.

5. When the heart contracts, the left lower ventricle will force the blood out to the
body through a network of arteries.

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

______________.

______________________.
ELABORATE

The essential components of the human cardiovascular system are the heart, blood and blood

vessels. It includes the pulmonary circulation, a "loop" through the lungs where blood is oxygenated;
and the systemic circulation, a "loop" through the rest of the body to provide oxygenated blood. 

ACTIVITY 4
Write S if the statement is in the Systemic circulation, and P for pulmonary circulation.

_____ 1. There the blood drops off oxygen, nutrients and other important substances
and picks up carbon dioxide and waste products.
_____2. The right ventricle pumps low-oxygen blood into the pulmonary artery, which
branches off into smaller and smaller arteries and capillaries.
_____ 3. The fresh oxygen we breathe in enters the blood. At the same time, carbon
dioxide is released from the blood.
_____ 4. The blood passes through the left atrium going to the aorta.
_____5. The blood, which is now low in oxygen, is collected in veins and travels to the
right atrium and into the right ventricle.

EVALUATION:
Complete the passage below by putting the missing word. Write your answer in the
space provided.
The center of the circulatory system is the (1)________, which is the main pumping mechanism.
There are also valves at the bottom of the large arteries that carry blood away from the heart:
the (2)_______ and the pulmonary artery. These valves keep the blood from flowing backward
into the heart once it has been pumped out. So there are actually four chambers (spaces) inside
the heart. Each top chamber is called an (3)_________ (plural: atria). The bottom chambers are
called (4)_________. The smallest blood vessels, called (5)__________, form a fine network of
tiny vessels throughout the body.

REFLECTION:
Write a short essay about how amazing the circulatory system is.
