Organism Physiology Paper Deborah Chase Biology 101 Professor Y. Henry March 9‚ 2015 Organism Physiology Paper (Chimpanzees) Chimpanzees are hominid species of apes native to Africa and the closest related to humans which they share 95-98% of human DNA. Earlier research reports that the oldest known primates are about 65 million years old with the chimpanzees emerging about 20 million years ago. It is thought that the chimpanzee’s level of intelligence has allowed it to survive

Continuous training- Improves cardiovascular endurance and muscular endurance. Continuous training is training continuously hence its name. There are no breaks or short pauses which means that the individual is constantly working‚ putting the muscles in the leg (such as the quadriceps and hamstrings) and the heart under pressure to supply which is needed. Altitude training can also be continuous which assists with the production of red blood cells. Red blood cells carry oxygen through the bloodstream
