( all the digested nutrients
are absorbed through the
intestinal walls)
Where do the
digested foods go?

The digested foods go to the

stomach then the nutrients
will be distributed to all parts
of the body through the blood
 How are the food
nutrients and oxygen
distributed to all parts of
the body?
The nutrients together with
the oxygen join the blood as it
circulates throughout the
body
What organ performs the
pumping that makes the
circulation of the blood
possible?
It is the heart that pumps and
makes the circulation of the
blood possible
Cite the two chambers
of the heart where the
pumping happens.

The two chambers of the

heart are the atrium and the
ventricles
 How does the blood reach
the different parts of the
body?
As the heart pumps, it exerts
much effort to push the blood.
As it circulates, it reaches all
parts of the body so as the
nutrients and oxygen
 What serves as the
passage ways of the
blood?

The blood vessels serve

as passage ways of the
blood
 Upon learning the parts and
function of the circulatory
system, is it important to the
body?

Yes. The circulatory system is

important to the body because
without it, the parts of the body
will not receive the nutrients and
oxygen they need to function well
 How should you take care of
the circulatory system ?

To take care of the circulatory

system, one should not do
activities that might harm the
heart, the blood vessels and the
blood
 What are the
parts and
functions of the
circulatory
system?
 Summary of Functions:
Circulatory System- distributes
foods, nutrients and oxygen
to all parts of the body and
collects body wastes. Its parts
are the Heart, the Blood
Vessels and the Blood.
TRIVIA:
A yawn is a signal of oxygen
shortage in the body. When we
are drowsy or sleepy, the lungs
do not take enough oxygen
from the air. This causes a
shortage of oxygen and sends
a message that causes you to
take a deep long breath called
yawn. So, it is important to
supply all the parts of the body
with the needed oxygen and
that is through blood
circulation.
Read the following questions. Write
the letter of the correct answer.

1. Which organ makes the

circulation of the blood possible?
A. Arteries C. Heart
B. Capillaries D. Veins
2. The process of transmitting the
food nutrients and oxygen to all
parts of the body is called
______________.
A.Breathing C. Distribution
B. Circulation D. Pumping
 3. Ana’s finger has cut. What do you think
the components of the blood will do to stop
bleeding?
A.Bone marrows will produce red blood
cells to stop bleeding.
B.White blood cells will fight against
bacteria that causes bleeding.
C.Platelets release fibrin, a protein that will
interlace to form clot that will stop
bleeding.
D.Plasma picks up the wastes to stop
bleeding.
4. The roadways of the body where blood
passes are tubes that allow blood to pass
through. What do you think would happen
if these tubes were blocked?
A. The circulation of the blood will not be
possible anymore.
B. The food nutrients will not be
distributed to all parts of the body.
C. The blood will stop flowing.
D. The heart will not work at all.
5.The auricles of the heart are the receiving
chambers. The ventricles are the pumping
chambers. Why do you think the ventricles can
pump the blood to all the body parts?
A.Ventricles have thicker walls to be able to
exert force to push the blood to the different
parts of the body.
B.Ventricles have strong walls to allow the
flow of the blood.
C.The chambers of the heart work together to
make the flow of the blood possible.
D.The heart is really strong to do the task.
