What This Module is About
In this module, you will learn the common respiratory and circulatory diseases and to
learn practices for taking care of one’s respiratory and circulatory system. You will learn to
understand the detection, prevention and treatment on both respiratory and circulatory
diseases.
Find out as we journey together in this module and discover that practicing a healthy
lifestyle is one of the key factors for a healthy body. Since preventative measures are our

What’s New
Respiratory and circulatory diseases are common. Both of these diseases are
easily treated, while others may cause severe illness or death. If any part of the
respiratory and circulatory system is not working properly, a human being can have
diseases and if not treated early and properly this may lead to death.
Many times, people are more likely to get respiratory and circulatory diseases,
but environmental exposure could also play a big role.
Objective:
To identify common diseases of respiratory and circulatory system
Let’s begin by knowing the important players in this topic. In the KWL chart
below, fill in the K, W and L column with what you already know, what you want to
know about common disease of respiratory and circulatory system and what you

What Is It
Respiratory disease that affect your airways and lungs caused by infection,
smoking cigarettes or by breathing in second hand cigarette smoke, or other forces
of air pollution.
There are diseases associated with the respiratory system. Some of these are
discussed below.
3. Pneumonia – is the infection of the lungs caused by viruses and bacteria wherein
the alveoli in the lungs are inflamed and become filled with liquid and pus making it
difficult for the lungs to transfer oxygen to the blood. If not treated immediately this
serious medical condition can lead to death.
4. Influenza – is commonly called the flu. It is caused by the influenza virus that
attacks your throat, nose and lungs. It is a highly contagious disease and can spread
directly through air droplets when people with flu sneeze, cough or talk and spread
indirectly with objects contaminated with virus.
Like all other system in our body, respiratory and circulatory is vulnerable to
conditions and diseases.
2. Stroke – occurs when it damages the brain when a blood vessels gets blocked or
leaked usually from a blood clot. Some risk factors for stroke include smoking, high
blood pressure, excessive alcohol intake and diabetes.
3. Hypertension – is another name for high blood pressure. It can lead to severe
health complications. Is also known as the silent killer due to the fact that people with
hypertension usually has no symptoms. The causes of this disease includes obesity,
diabetes, lack of fruits and vegetables in the diet and high salt intake.
4. Heart attack – occurs when the blood flow to the part of the heart is blocked by
blood clot, the heart muscle supplied by the artery begins to die. The causes for the
heart attack are atherosclerosis, diabetes, high-blood pressure and gender (more
common in males).

The following are some ways to prevent respiratory and circulatory diseases:
1. Good nutrition, good sleep and rest enhances your immune system that helps
the body to resist infections. And avoid eating high cholesterol and fatty foods.

What’s New
What you eat or activity each day affects your health and how you feel now
and in the future. To maintain a healthy and functional body, it is important to take
care of them properly. Lifestyle is define as someone’s way of living that
a person or particular group of people usually do. Lifestyle has a direct effect on the
organs of the respiratory and circulatory system.
Objective:
Direction:
Choose the following lifestyle from the box that should go under the column “healthy”
or “Unhealthy” lifestyle.
In the previous activity, you were asked to identify the basis in determining
whether healthy lifestyle is done or not. There is a direct effect of lifestyle on the
organs on both respiratory and circulatory systems. Among the cause of these
diseases, four causes may be observed: cigarette smoking, excessive alcohol
intake, stress and high level of fat and cholesterol in the blood. Knowledge on the
symptoms of both respiratory and circulatory disease is important for its treatment.
When symptoms occur, the best thing to do is consult a doctor when symptoms of
common respiratory and circulatory diseases persist.
There are different reasons why some people smoke. But whatever the
reasons are, smoking is surely not good for the health. Cigarettes contain harmful
substances that cause respiratory and circulatory diseases. Cigarettes contain
nicotine, carbon monoxide and tar. Nicotine is an addictive substance that increases
heart rate and blood pressure. Tar is a carcinogen (substance that causes cancer)
that coats the teeth, damages the gums, numbs the taste buds and causes bad
breath. Carbon monoxide is toxic to the body that prevents haemoglobin to carry
the oxygen in the blood throughout the body.
When it comes to food, a high fat and high cholesterol diet, has been found to
have adverse effect to the lungs and heart. It may lead to obesity, which in turn
increases the risk of having respiratory and circulatory diseases.
1. Exercise regularly is important to maintain a healthy body system that makes our
lungs and heart stronger.
2. Do not smoke and drink alcohol. If you are thinking of starting smoking and
alcohol drinking, do not! Stay away from people who do this habit.
3. Eat a healthy diet. Proper diet enables a person to maintain a healthy weight
which is important in keeping the respiratory and circulatory organs healthy.
4. Take time to relax and avoid stress because it affects the conditions of our
respiratory and circulatory system.

Summary
The diseases of the respiratory system include asthma, common cold,
pneumonia, bronchitis, rhinitis, emphysema and tuberculosis.
Asthma is a condition when a person experiences difficulty in breathing.
Common Cold is among the most common respiratory disease. This is a
disease affecting the upper respiratory tract (nose and throat).
Pneumonia is the infection of the lungs caused by viruses and bacteria
wherein the lungs are inflamed and become filled with liquid and pus.
Influenza is commonly called the flu. It is caused by the influenza virus that
attacks your throat, nose and lungs.
Bronchitis is the inflammation or swelling of bronchial tube lining.
Tuberculosis (TB) is a bacterial infections of the lungs caused by
mycobacterium tuberculosis, which is an airborne disease.
Covid 19 is a serious global infectious disease. It is part of a family of viruses
called corona viruses. It can affect nose, sinuses, throat and lungs.
The diseases of the circulatory system include atherosclerosis, stroke,
hypertension and heart attack.
Atherosclerosis is a condition that develops when a substance called plaque
builds up in the walls of the arteries making it harder for blood to flow through.
Stroke occurs when it damages the brain when a blood vessels gets blocked
or leaked usually from a blood clot.
Hypertension is the other name for high blood pressure.
Heart attack occurs when the blood flow to the part of the heart is blocked by
blood clot, the heart muscle supplied by the artery begins to die.
For prevention for both respiratory and circulatory diseases observe strict
personal hygiene, eat healthy foods, avoid smoking, exercise regularly and
avoid direct contact with infected person and contaminated objects.
Lifestyle is define as someone’s way of living that a person or particular group
of people usually do.
Four lifestyles may be observed that lead to respiratory and circulatory
diseases: smoking, excessive alcohol intake, stress and high level of fat and
cholesterol in the blood.
Smoking is not good for the health. Cigarettes contain nicotine, carbon
monoxide and tar. Excessive alcohol will increase triglycerides in the blood
and induces calorie intake.
Stresses are caused by work related stress and emotional stress that
decreases the resistance to heart disease. A diet high in fat and cholesterol
poses a great risk to the organs of respiratory and circulatory system.
Ways to have a healthy lifestyle is to exercise regularly, avoid smoking and
drinking alcohol, eat a healthy diet and take time to relax and avoid stress.
