Essential Questions
1. How important are the different organs of transport in maintaining a smooth flow of traffic in our body’s
highway?
2. Why do we need a transport system?
3. How do circulatory and respiratory systems function in unison to sustain human life?
4. How is energy transported throughout and used by the body?
5. Why should gases and nutrients be maintained at sufficient levels in the body?
6. What should one know about lifestyle, health, and wellness?
7. How does one’s lifestyle affect the functioning of the circulatory and respiratory system?

Essential Understandings
1. Circulation and gas exchange are the two processes in the body that help provide the cells with their basic
needs such as nutrients, oxygen, and other molecules.
2. the transport system ensures that essential materials needed by the body are properly circulated, and
waste products are disposed out of the cells and the body.
3. There is a coordinated function between the circulatory and respiratory systems to ensure proper transport
of nutrients and gases to and from the different parts of the body.
4. Energy flows to the body cells through the circulatory system.
5. Sufficient levels of oxygen, water, and other nutrients must be maintained to ensure proper functioning of
the body.
6. Awareness of the functions and the different disorders of the organ systems helps one practice healthy
lifestyle and promote good health and wellness.
1. Introduction (will be presented through Aralinks)
http://reynthology.blogspot.com/2012/01/romi-garduce-completes-seven-summits.html
Romi Garduce is the first and only Filipino to have scaled the famous Seven Summits or the seven highest
peaks in each of the seven continents. Of course, one of these is the world-famous Mount Everest. It took Romi 2
months to finally take a selfie as he waved the Philippine flag on the peak of Mount Everest, literally, the top of the
world.
In many of his photos as he neared the summit, one can see that he and his group used oxygen masks
connected to the oxygen tanks that they carried. According to experts, the air is so thin at 31,000 feet. This is the
same altitude shared by most commercial flights while on a cruise mode. In such conditions, breathing becomes
difficult because the amount of oxygen is dramatically low compared to that at sea level. Every cell in the body
requires oxygen to function properly. Have you ever wondered how oxygen from outside the body finds its way to
each one of our cells?
In this module, you will find out how oxygen, just like every other nutrient, is delivered to each cell in the
body. Remember to search for the answer to the following question: How can nutrients flow well in our body?

2. Anticipatory Set
A. Getting to KNOW you using PADLET!..
Stay connected and motivate each other! Connecting with your class will give us the motivation
that we need to be engaged with distance learning this "New Normal period"..So, let’s build a sense of
community in this online learning environment to combat isolation. Hence, our first activity is to post a
greeting to this class and introduce yourself as well. Introduce yourself by mentioning your name, nick
name and age.Then think of a scientific word or concept that will describe you as a student/person and
explain. Let's be CREATIVE! You may include answer in any form of medium.

B. Act Fast (FORUM through ARALINKS)
Mr. Bean is known for his hilarious antics. In the video that you are about to watch, pay
close attention as he tries to revive the man who just suffered a heart attack.
Click on the link to view the video: http://vimeo.com/65441617 - Mr. Bean’s
Attempt to Provide CPR
Process Questions
1.What ideas on CPR did you learn after watching the video?
2.How can CPR ensure nutrients to flow well in the body?
3.Is Mr. Bean’s act can save the life of the person? Why or Why not?
C. Pre-Assessment (KAHOOTS)
Let’s find out how much you already know about this module. Click on the letter that you think best
answers the question. Please answer all items. After taking this short test, you will see your score. Take

www.sbcbatangas.edu.ph
note of the items that you were not able to correctly answer and look for the right answer as you go
through the module.
1. Determine the compound that leaves the cells as a waste product of respiration which then joins
the bloodstream.
a. ammonia
b. carbon dioxide
c. carbon monoxide
d. hydrogen chloride
2. When the diaphragm relaxes, it pushes up on the lungs and
a. drives CO2 out of the body
b. enhances movement of O2
c. facilitates lung expansion
d. slows down blood flow
3. Almost all substances found in our bodies dissolve in water. This is the reason why __________ is
comprised mostly of water.
a. blood
b. cholesterol
c. fat
d. sap
4. A regular intake of fatty foods leads to fat deposition in our blood vessels. What is the likely effect
of such a diet in our circulatory system?
a. Fat allows blood to easily slide on it which facilitates blood flow.
b. Low blood pressure can be expected because of the interaction between blood and fat.
c. High blood pressure results from the faster movement of blood caused by fat deposits
d. The diameter of the blood vessel becomes smaller and makes blood flow difficult.
5. Your biology teacher said that carbonic acid forms in the blood if present in excessive amounts. In
a classroom activity prepared by your teacher, you were asked to do deep breathing exercises. As
you exhale,
a. accumulated CO2 in the alveoli are moved out of the body

b. accumulated O2 outside the alveoli are moved out of the body
c. only through photosynthesis will we be able to get the needed CO2
d. only through the thylakoid membrane will we able to get the needed CO2
6. A handful of cities in the Philippines have effectively banned smoking in public. Health experts
have repeatedly emphasized that cigarette smoking directly harms the respiratory system in many
ways which include
a. increasing the flow of CO2 towards the lungs
b. making the airways smaller and irritated (as seen in coughing)
c. slowing the flow of phlegm from the larynx to the bronchi
d. transferring beneficial nutrients from the body to the cigarette smoke
7. Liam will be joining a 10-kilometer fun run. He finds it challenging not just because of the distance
but also because of the chosen terrain. Most participants will find it even more challenging if they
do not have much physical activity because

c. Lungs
d. Pharynx
10. Climbing Mt. Everest is no easy feat, not only is it the highest peak in the world, but the challenge
becomes even greater because of interplay among factors found in the region. One of these is the
high altitude which results to thinner air. The lack of oxygen in such conditions lead to
a. decreased energy production in the mitochondria
b. elevated levels of oxygen in the matrix of the mitochondria
c. increased levels of carbon dioxide produced during respiration
d. limited diffusion of water is expected in the thylakoid
