What is Gaseous exchange
The movement of oxygen from the air into the blood and carbon dioxide from the blood into the air
Oxygen makes up 21% of air which is exerted from particular pressure
PNF 3 stages in practise
- Individual performs a passive stretch with the help of a partner who extends the leg until tension is felt
- Isometrically contracts for 10s pushing the leg up against the partner supplying enough resistance to hold the leg in a stationary position
3 as the leg is passively stretched against the Golgi tendon our response for the antagonist is to relax causing it to stretch further. The process is then repeated until no further gains
What is Gaseous exchange at the alveoli
Aveoli is responsible for the exchange of gases between the lungs and blood
Structure that helps with gaseous exchange
Only one cell thick
Short diffusion pathways
Extensive capillary network- excellent blood supply
Huge surface area
What is particular pressure
Pressure exerted by and individual gas when it exists within a mixture of gaseous
Impacts of poor lifestyle choices on the Respiratory system (smoking)
Carbon monoxide combines with haemoglobin much more readily than oxygen. Decreasing oxygen carrying capacity which increases breathlessness during exercise
Smocking can cause the following
Breathless
Reduce lung function- narrowing airways
Damage cell lining- leading to a build up of mucus
Reduction in efficiency of gaseous exchange
What is PNF stretching
Advanced stretching technique
Most effective for flexibility training for increased range of motion
What is the Crac technique in PNF stretching
Crac technique- contract-relax-antagonist- contract
What our the 2 proprioceptors that help with PNF stretching
Muscle spindles and Golgi tendon
What our propriceptors
Sensory organs in the muscle,tendons and joints that inform the body of the extent of movement which has taken place
What do muscle spindles do
-lie between skeletal muscle fibres
-send excitory singles about how far and fast a muscle is being stretched
-produces a stretch reflex to prevent overstretching and reduce the risk of injury
What do Golgi tendon organs do
-found between muscle fibres and tendon
-detect level of tension in the muscle
-when the muscle contracts isometrically it sends inhibitory singles to the brain
-allowing agonist muscle to relax and lengthen this is know as autogenic inhibition
What is a motor unit
Made up of Motor neuron’s and its muscle fibres
What is the all or none law
-where a sequence of impulse has to be a sufficient intensity to stimulate all of the muscle fibres in order for them all to contract if not none of them contract
The diffusion pathway of oxygen is:
Alveoli-blood-muscles
The diffusion pathway of carbon dioxide is:
Muscle-blood-alveoli
Joint action types and articulating bones
Joints actions-Joint type-articulating bone
Anke- Hinge-fibula,talus,tibia
Knee- Hinge-femur,tibia
Hip- Ball + socket-pelvis femur
Shoulder- Ball + socket scapula, humerus
Elbow- Hinge- radius,ulna,humerus
Stoke volume definitely
The volume of blood pumped out of the heart ventricles in each contraction
What does stroke volume depend on
Venous return- when this increase so does stoke volume
The elasticity of cardiac fibres the more the cardiac fibres can stretch the greater the force of contraction
What is A-VO2 diff
The difference between the oxygen content of the arterial blood arriving at the muscles and the venous blood leaving the muscles
Venous return definition
Volume of blood returning to the right side of the heart via the vena cava
Venous return mechanisms
The skeletal muscle pump- when muscle contract and relax they change shape and press on the veins squeezing blood towards the heart
Respiratory pump contracts and relax during breathing in and out. Pressure change compress veins and assist blood to return to the heart
Pocket values- ensure blood flows in one direction- valves prevent back flow
Smooth muscles- helps squeeze blood towards the heart
Gravity- helps blood return from the upper body
Cardiac output definition
Volume of blood pumped out of the heart ventricles in a minute
