Torie Soriano Physiology Lab Report The Effects of Exercise on the Cardiovascular System Introduction Exercise has a major impact on the cardiovascular system and its efficiency in the human body. There are many concepts which need to be examined to understand exercise and the cardiovascular system‚ such as systolic and diastolic blood pressure‚ cardiac output‚ total peripheral resistance‚ and physiological pathways. According to the European Journal of Cardiovascular Prevention and Rehabilitation

What is metabolism? All living things must have an unceasing supply of energy and matter. The transformation of this energy and matter within the body is called metabolism. Metabolism includes two different types: catabolism and anabolism. Catabolism is destructive metabolism. Typically‚ in catabolism‚ larger organic molecules are broken down into smaller constituents. This usually occurs with the release of energy. Anabolism is constructive metabolism. Typically‚ in anabolism‚ small precursor

Dopamine is Another relative of norepinephrine and epinephrine it is found to be a neurotransmitter in the 1950s by another Swede‚ Arvid Carlsson. It is an inhibitory neurotransmitter‚ implying that when it discovers its way to its receptor locales‚ it obstructs the inclination of that neuron to flame. Dopamine is emphatically connected with reward systems in the mind. Drugs like cocaine‚ opium‚ heroin‚ and liquor increment the levels of dopamine‚ as does nicotine. In the event that it can rest easy

The cardiovascular system consists of : heart (심장)‚ and vessels (혈관)‚ arteries (동맥)‚ capillaries (모세혈관) and veins (정맥). A functional cardiovascular system is vital (필수적인) for supplying oxygen and nutrients to tissues and removing wastes from them. Paths of Circulation: Pulmonary(폐의) Circuit : carrying blood to the lungs and back 1. The pulmonary circuit is made up of vessels that convey blood from the right ventricle to the pulmonary arteries to the lungs‚ alveolar capillaries‚ and pulmonary veins

Amino acids are important building blocks; they play an essential role in the formation of proteins and as intermediates in metabolism. Amino acids can serve as cell signaling molecules and can regulate gene expression. An optimal amount of amino acids is essential for health. There are over 500 amino acids‚ however only 20 are commonly found. Amino acids all have an amine functional group and a carboxylic acid functional group. They differentiate from each other in their side chains. Only 10 of
