exercise. Utilisation When we inhale air‚ oxygen is transported to the lungs and can be utilised by the body to stay alive. Oxygen is used to produce ATP for energy “the principle energy transferring molecule in living systems”(Anatomy and Physiology‚ Seeley‚ Stephens‚ Tate). Oxygen is essential to produce ATP. Internal respiration refers to the intracellular metabolic processes carried out within the mitochondria‚ which use O2 and produce CO2 during the derivation of energy from nutrient molecules

knowledge concerning the physiology of breathing dates back to the 17th century. Before that time‚ the ideas in vogue about why and how we breathe were mystical and strange. Hippocrates “counted air as an instrument of the body”. Galen‚ whose influence on medical thought and progress was immense for many centuries‚ enunciated the doctrine of Hippocrates and formed his own doctrine based on observation. In the Galenic

Human Physiology – Article Summary 1-30-14 “Men go abroad to wonder at the height of mountains‚ at the huge waves of the sea‚ at the long courses of the rivers‚ at the vast compass of the oceans‚ at the circular motion of the stars‚ and pass by themselves without wondering” – St. Augustine. Phillip Bishop used this quote to introduce his article about the evidence of God in human physiology. He discusses three topics to help prove his point: 1) the complexity of man and what it suggests

Lab Report 6: Respiratory Physiology Purpose: To describe the effects of carbon dioxide concentration on blood pH. Hypothesis: If the blood CO2 levels increase‚ the pH will decrease. Materials and Procedures: Materials: Willing subject (someone complete the activities of the experiment) Timer (with a second hand) Glass Urinary and Salivary pH (litmus) paper Drinking straw Procedures: 1. Measure 2 ounces of water in a glass. Obtain the pH of the

LUNG CAPACITY Lung capacities are combinations of specific lung volumes. The lung capacities are measurements of two or more volumes. The total lung capacity (TLC) is a measurement of the total amount of air that the lung can hold; normally it is 6 litters for adult male and 4.2 litters for an adult female. The vital capacity (VC) measures the maximum amount of air that can be inhaled or exhaled during a respiratory cycle. The Residual Volume (RV) is the amount of gas remaining the lungs after a

Unit 5: Anatomy and Physiology (P4) Explain the physiology of two named body systems in relation to energy metabolism in the body In this task I am going to discuss the three systems involved in energy metabolism in the body. The chemical equation for cellular respiration is: C6H12O6 + O2 = E + CO2 + H2O OR Glucose + Oxygen = Energy + Carbon Dioxide + Water In order to release energy we need glucose which is a simple carbohydrate that is produced after digestion of food and we also need oxygen

Exercise Physiology Responses To Steady-State Exercise Once an athlete has been performing continuous exercise for a period of around 20 minutes‚ their body reaches a steady-state. Continuous exercise includes all forms of exercise that have no stopping periods such as jogging‚ swimming or cycling. Examples of non-continuous exercise would be weight lifting‚ interval training and boxing. Steady state is when the body is working at a steady state it means that lactic acid removal is occurring
