Respiratory and Circulatory Systems
Working with Other Organ Systems
Overview
Your body is a fascinating creation that can carry out incredible tasks and activities. It is like a machine that is able to function with proper organization of parts and systems. However, our bodies also require proper care and maintenance. It is just fitting to keep going with a healthy lifestyle to ensure that each part is maintained appropriately while getting the most out of it.

In the past, you were introduced to the different levels of organizations in the human body and the mechanisms involved in it. You have learned that the human body is composed of different systems, which are collections of cells, tissues, and organs, each of which has a special job that keeps you alive. Whether you eat, play, dance, sing, or sleep; each part of your organ systems performs particular functions. You also discovered how the digestive system breaks down food to nourish your whole body.
Now, you will learn how the different structures of the circulatory and respiratory systems work together to transport oxygen-rich blood and nutrients to the different parts of the body. You will also understand the prevention, detection, and treatment of diseases affecting the respiratory and circulatory systems. At the end of this module, you are expected to:
1. explain the mechanism on how the respiratory and circulatory systems work together to transport nutrients, gases, and molecules to and from the different parts of the body;
2. infer how one’s lifestyle can affect the functioning of respiratory and circulatory systems.
