Introduction
Humans are considered as the most complex living things because we are
composed of different organ systems. A person must understand how the human
body works. Each part of the body systems does a special job and they all coordinate
to make the body functions.
When your body is busy, like when you play games, which systems are
responsible for keeping you alert, active and aware of the environment?
Everyday, your body needs food in order to stay strong and healthy. These
foods need to be broken down into simpler substance that your body cells use. Your
body also needs oxygen. It combines with the digested food and it is called burning
of food. What brings oxygen and food nutrients to the body cells? Where does blood
pass through? What keeps the blood flowing throughout the body?

What is circulatory system?
Circulatory System is defined as the body system which consists of the
heart, the blood and the blood vessels, also known as the cardiovascular system.
Cardio refers to the heart and vascular refers to a channel or vessel through which
blood flows. In short, it is the transport system of the body.

Circulatory system has the following functions: It carries food, oxygen and
water to all your body cells. It also picks up carbon dioxide and other wastes and
carries them to the body organs that get rid of them.
There are three main parts of the Circulatory System. The Heart, the Blood
Vessels and the Blood. The Heart pumps the blood that circulates throughout the
body. It is a muscle that contracts and relaxes about 70 -75 times a minute or 4500
times an hour. It is almost about the size of one’s clenched fist and shaped like a
pear. It is found between the lungs only a little left at the center of the chest. It does
not stop beating while you are alive. The muscles of the heart contract and relax
in harmony. The tempo is set as the blood moves throughout the body. The
alternating relaxations and contractions of the heart is called the cardiac cycle.
The human heart has four chambers.
The upper chambers are thin- walled chambers called atria(Singular-atrium)
and the lower chambers are thick – walled chambers called ventricles. The Right
Atrium is the part that receives blood coming from all parts of the body. Superior
Vena Cava is responsible to bring blood coming from the head and neck region to
3|P age
the right atrium, while the Inferior Vena Cava is the part that brings blood coming
from the lower portion of the body also to the right atrium. The Right Atrium receives
blood that is rich with carbon dioxide and passes it to the right ventricle, which
pumps it to the lungs. Blood returning from the lungs enters the Left Atrium which
passes it to the Left Ventricle which pumps blood rich in oxygen through the rest
of the body.The right and left ventricles are the pumping chambers of the heart. If
there is Contraction, the right atrium forces the blood to flow to the right ventricle,
as a result, the Right Ventricle pumps the blood to the lungs for oxygenation via
the blood vessels called Pulmonary Artery. The oxygenated blood enters the left
atrium via the Pulmonary Vein. Contraction of the left atrium forces the blood to
flow to the left ventricle. The left ventricle pumps blood to all parts of the body
through the largest artery called Aorta. The openings between atria and ventricles
are guarded by valves. The valves prevent the back flow of the blood. The valve
between the right atrium and the right ventricle has three flaps called tricuspid.
While the left atrium and left ventricle has only two flaps called bicuspid valve also
known as “mitral valve” because with its two flaps, it looks like a “bishop miter.”

The blood vessels enable blood to reach the different parts of the body. There
are three types of blood vessels: Arteries, Veins and Capillaries. Arteries carry
blood away from the heart. They carry blood containing oxygen or oxygenated blood
from the heart to the different parts of the body while Veins carry blood containing
carbon dioxide from the cells back to the heart except the pulmonary veins which
carry oxygenated blood from the lungs back to the heart. The superior and the
inferior vena cava are the biggest veins which lead to the right side of the heart. And
the Capillaries are the tiniest blood vessels but longer than all the arteries and veins
joined. They are at the end of the arteries that carry digested food and oxygen but
at the same time waste materials like carbon dioxide. Thus, the actual exchange of
materials between the blood and tissue fluid occurs in the capillaries.
The Blood is another part of the circulatory system. It is called the “red river
of life” because it supplies the body cells with the materials they need for
nourishment and repair, and it eliminates wastes from the cells. The Blood is
pumped throughout the body by the heart. It carries digested food and oxygen to all
body cells and takes away waste materials from them. It makes up 7 to 9% of one’s
body weight. An adult male has about five to eight liters of blood in his body while
female has lower volume which is about four to five liters.

Acknowledgment
The Schools Division of Zambales would like to express its heartfelt gratitude
to the following, who in one way or the other, have contributed to the successful
preparation, development, quality assurance, printing, and distribution of the
Quarter 2 Guided Learning Activity Kits (GLAKs) in all learning areas across grade
levels as a response to providing the learners with developmentally-appropriate,
contextualized and simplified learning resources with most essential learning
competencies (MELCs)-based activities anchored on the principles of guided learning
and explicit instruction:
First, the Learning Resources (LR) Development Team composed of the writers
and graphic artists for devoting much of their time and exhausting their best efforts
to produce these indispensable learning kits used for the implementation of learning
delivery modalities.
Second, the content editors, language reviewers, and layout evaluators
making up the Division Quality Assurance Team (DQAT) for having carefully
evaluated all GLAKs to ensure quality and compliance to DepEd standards;
Third, the Provincial Government of Zambales, for unceasingly extending its
financial assistance to augment the funds for the printing of these learning resources
for use by learners and parents at home;
Fourth, the teacher-advisers and subject teachers, in close coordination with
the school heads, for their weekly distribution and retrieval of the GLAKs and for
their frequent monitoring of the learners’ progress through various means; and
Finally, the parents and other home learning facilitators for giving the learners
the needed guidance and support for them to possibly accomplish the tasks and for
gradually helping them become independent learners.
To deliver learning continuity in this challenging circumstance would not be
possible without your collective effort and strong commitment to serving our
Zambaleño learners.
Again, our sincerest thanks!
The Management Team
