The document discusses the movement of blood throughout the body. It explains that blood is pumped from the heart through arteries, then to capillaries where it delivers oxygen and nutrients to cells, and returns to the heart through veins. There are five main pathways blood flows with each heartbeat: pulmonary circulation to the lungs; systemic circulation to the entire body; coronary circulation to the heart tissue itself; portal circulation through digestive organs to the liver; and renal circulation to the kidneys to remove waste. The document encourages illustrating these blood circulations to better understand how blood flows continuously around the body.

1. HOW BLOOD MOVES
AROUND THE BODY
By: Jenil Urianza-Moises

2. OBJECTIVE
• Illustrate /demonstrate throughout
the body the movement of the blood
throughout the body

3. How does the heart pumps blood?
Blood is forced into
the large arteries
attached to the heart.
The blood flows on
through the smaller
arteries, to the
capillaries, to the cells
and through the
capillaries and on the
veins, before
returning to the
heart.

4. There are FIVE main
pathways to which blood
flows each time the heart
pumps.

5. 1. PULMONARY
CIRCULATION
is the flow of
blood from the
heart to the
lungs and back
to the heart.

7. 2. SYSTEMIC
CIRCULATION is
the movement of
the blood as it
flows from the
heart to all parts of
the body and back
to the right atrium
of the heart.

9. 3. CORONARY
CIRCULATION
is the
movement of
blood through
the tissue of
the heart

11. 4. PORTAL
CIRCULATION is
a special blood
circuit from the
arteries through
the main organs
of digestion,
then to the liver
before returning
to the heart.

13. 5. RENAL
CIRCULATION is the
blood circuit through
the capillaries to the
kidneys where water,
nitrogenous wastes
and other unwanted
materials are
removed.

15. EVALUATION
Illustrate the different kinds of
circulation: pulmonary, systemic,
coronary, portal, renal. Use arrows
to show how the blood flows inside
the heart.

16. ASSIGNMENT
Illustrate how the blood circulates
through a comic strip where Mr. Blood
is the hero or major character.
