Energy Systems Assignment By Thysje Fartlek Training Before we started the fartlek training‚ our bodies were using the aerobic system and bi-products of this system are carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O). Our heart rate (HR) was low‚ 60-70 beats a minute‚ and our breathing rate (BR) was slow and deep‚ 1 breathe about every 6 seconds. The demand for fuel was low because we didn’t need to supply the muscles in our body quickly. Once we started walking‚ the demand for fuel increased but only

Laboratory report investigating the equine respiratory and cardiovascular systems Introduction The respiratory and cardiovascular systems of the horse work together to transport oxygen around the body and play an essential part in providing the horse with its increased need for oxygen during exercise. They allow the musculoskeletal system to use energy to facilitate motion. The cardiovascular system comprises the heart‚ blood vessels and blood. The heart pumps blood around the body

Structure of the heart: The heart is at the centre of the cardiovascular system. It is a hollow muscular pump that drives blood through the arteries‚ which allows it to reach the working muscles and tissues. The heart is split into two halves. The right side of the heart is separated from the left by a solid wall known as the septum. This prevents any blood on the right side coming into contact with the blood on the left side. The right side of the heart sends deoxygenated blood to the lungs in

Metabolism is the set of chemical reactions that happen in the cells of living organisms to sustain life. These processes allow organisms to grow and reproduce‚ maintain their structures‚ and respond to their environments. I never thought that people blame their weight on slow metabolism‚ but this article have changed my opinion on why someone can blame on metabolism I learned that metabolism is linked to weight. Metabolism is the process by which your body changes what you eat and drink into energy

This essay will explain the function of the respiratory‚ digestive and cardiovascular systems and how they work together to produce nutrients and oxygen to the cells for cellular respiration (energy for the body) The first system in the body is the digestive system. When food enters the mouth the salivary glands secrete saliva which mixes with the food. This makes it easy to chew and swallow. Once the food has been chewed enough the food travels down the oesophagus to the stomach. Once the food

through our body. The blood moves through pulmonary circulation and then continues on through systemic circulation. Pulmonary and systemic are the two circuits in the two-circuit system of higher animals with closed circulatory systems. As the heart pumps‚ blood is pushed through our body through the entire circulatory system. Oxygenated blood is pumped away from the heart to the rest of the body‚ while deoxygenated blood is pumped to the lungs where it is re-oxygenated before returning to the heart

The Cardiovascular System: Intrinsic Conduction System 1. The intrinsic conduction system consists of __autorhythmic cardiac______ cells that initiate and distribute __impulses___ throughout the heart. 2. The intrinsic conduction system coordinates heart activity by determining the direction and speed of _heart depolarization___. This leads to a coordinated heart contraction. 3. List the functions for the following parts of the intrinsic conduction system: a. SA Node __initiates the depolarizing

The Cardiovascular System CHAPTER SUMMARY The importance of the cardiovascular system cannot be overstated. This is one system that students frequently know something about‚ at least from a plumbing viewpoint‚ but they often don’t completely understand the complexity of the system and the magnitude of its tasks. An essential component of presentation of the material is then to outline in detail the role of the cardiovascular system and its significance to all other body systems. This chapter

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‚ exercise provides
