HUMAN RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
Respiration is the process of
taking in oxygen from the
environment and delivering it
to the cells. At the same time,
carbon dioxide is removed and
taken out of the body.
Human Respiratory System
- is responsible for the
exchange of gases between
humans and the
environment.
The system is
generally
comprised of
nose, pharynx,
larynx,
trachea, and
the lungs.
ACTIVITY 2: THE LUNGS
Objectives:
a. Describe the key parts of
the lungs
b. Label the parts of the
lungs
Procedure:
1. Read and analyze the
paragraph below.
2. From the given picture
identify and label the key
parts of the lungs.
The lung is the vital organ responsible for
breathing particularly gas exchange. The
human body has 1 pair of lungs. Each lung
has 2 lobes that have its own pleura-sac.
Here are its important parts to work well:
the main stem is the trachea, the large
branching stems are the bronchi, and all
the little stems are the bronchioles. The
little circles like are air sacs or alveoli
(alveolus in singular).
Guide Questions:
1. What fruit can you compare to the
human lungs? How does it work?
2. How will you describe the feature of
the lungs?
3. Would it be possible to work if only
one lung is functioning?
ACTIVITY 3: THE FLOW OF THE AIR TO
THE BODY
Objectives:
a. Draw the parts of the respiratory system
b. Label the parts of the respiratory system
c. Explain the flow of the air throughout
the body
d. Trace the flow of air in the body
Procedure:
1. After reading and understanding
the concept below, draw the parts of
the breathing system fitting the
diagram below. Label each part
2. Trace the flow of the air by putting
arrows on its parts.
Guide Questions:
1. How will you describe the pathway
of the oxygen in the breathing
system?
2. What will happen if one part of the
system fails to carry out its
function properly?
ACTIVITY 4: THE HUMAN HEART
Objectives:
a. Describe the parts of the
heart
b. Explain the functions of
each part of the heart
Procedure:
1. Study the terms and
functions.
2. Label the parts of the heart
base on the information given.
3. Color the key parts of the
heart.
KEY CONCEPTS
1. The chambers:
Two atria – these are the
receiving chambers of the
heart. These receive blood
through veins.
• Right Atrium- It accepts
blood from the body.
• Left Atrium - It accepts
blood from the lungs.
Two ventricles-
These chambers force
the blood out into the
arteries.
• Right Ventricle- It pumps
blood towards the lungs.
• Left Ventricle- It pumps
blood towards the body.
The valves:
These prevent the
backward flow of the
blood.
e. Tricuspid valve- found between the
right atrium and right ventricle
f. Bicuspid valve- found between the
left atrium and left ventricle
g. Pulmonary valve- found at the
base of the pulmonary artery
h. Aortic valve- at the base of the
aorta
The valves:
These prevent the
backward flow of the
blood.
• Superior vena cava- conveys
blood from the upper extremities
towards the heart
• Inferior vena cava- conveys
blood from the lower extremities
towards the heart
Other parts
• Septum- It divides the right and
left chambers.
• Aorta- The largest artery. It
conveys blood from the heart to
different parts of the body.
• Pulmonary artery- It conveys
oxygen-poor blood from the heart
to the lungs.
• Pulmonary vein- It conveys
oxygen-rich blood from the lungs
to the heart.
ACTIVITY 5: THE FLOW OF BLOOD
Objectives:
a. Describe the flow of the blood and gas
exchange within the heart, circulatory system,
and lungs.
b. Explain the mechanism of how the respiratory
and circulatory systems work together.
c. Trace the flow of the different types of blood
into the heart and to different parts of the body.
Procedure:
1. Read and analyze the concept below.
2. Using the diagram below, trace the
path flow of the blood using coloring
materials.
3. Use red color for oxygenated blood
(oxygen-rich blood) and use blue color
for deoxygenated blood (oxygen-poor
blood).
