Q
functions of the CVS
A
1) circulates blood around body
2) transports water, oxygen and nutrients to the cells
3) transports waste including CO2 away from cells
4) maintains correct body temp
5) fights disease through WBC and antibodies contained in blood
2
Q
What are the 4 chambers of the heart and what do they do
A
4 chambers
2 atria, left and right
- upper chambers that recieve blood
2 ventricles, left and right
- the lower chambers that pump blood
3
Q
The cardiac cycle
A
Involves the heart filling with blood and then pumping this to the rest of the body
4
Q
4 stages of the cardiac cycle
A
Stage 1: Arterial Diastole
Stage 2: Ventricular Diastole
Stage 3: Arterial Systole
Stage 4: Ventricular Systole
4
Q
What happens in the 4 stages of the cardiac cycle
A
Stage 1: Arterial diastole
- blood comes from body and lungs, filling artia
Stage 2: Ventricular diastole
- pressure build up causes the valves to open, blood flows into ventricles, valves shut
Stage 3: Arterial systole
- atria contract and blood is forced into the ventricles and pressure increase to be greater than that in the aorta pulmonary artery
Stage 4: Ventricular systole
- pulmonary valve + aortic valve both open ventricles contract, forcing blood into aorta to move to body or pulmonary artery to the lungs
5
Q
Systole

25
what causes and increase in cardiac output
increase in SV and HR causes and increase in Q due to SV x HR = Q
26
what are acute responses

27
platelets

28
functions of the respiratory system
1) brings air from the atmosphere into the lungs
2) transfers oxygen into the blood
3) removes CO2 from blood
4) expels heat and water vapour in the air breathed out
5) allows vocal cords to create speech as air is expelled
29
3 parts of respiratory system
1) conduction system
2) pleura
3) diaphragm
30
pathway of air
nasal cavity, mouth, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, brochioles, alveoli
31
Ventilation
the amount of air that is inspired and expired during 1 minute
32
Tidal Volume
the amount of air breathed in and out in one breath
33
Respiratory rate
the amount of breaths per minute
34
How is ventilation calculated
tidal volume x respiratory rate,
TV x RR =V
35
Inspiration - process
- The process of breathing in, movement of air from external to lungs
- intercoastal muscles contract, chest cavity expands, air pressure in the lungs lowers
36
expiration - process
- the movement of air out from the lungs to the external environment
- diaphragm pushes up into a dome shape, chest cavity size decreases
37
Vital capacity
the max amount of air that can be expired after maximal expiration
38
VO2 max
the max amount of oxygen per minute that can be taken in, transported and used by the working muscles to produce ATP
39
Diffusion
the movement of gas from high to low concentration
40
Pulmonary diffusion
a process to describe the exchange of gases in the lungs
41
gas exchange in the alveoli/capillary interface
in the lungs
oxygen in, CO2 out
42
gas exchange in the capillary/muscle interface
at the cells
oxygen for energy production, waste removal
43
exchange of gas in the lungs - pulmonary diffusion process
- during inspiration, air enters alveoli in lung
- oxygen moves from the alveoli (high concentration) to the capillaries (low concentration) through thin walls
- oxygen attaches to haemoglobin in red blood cells and is transported to muscles and other cells
- during expiration, CO2 moves from the capillaries (higher concentration) into the alveoli and is expelled
44
exchange of gas at muscle (cell) site
- at the muscle site, the concentration of gases is the reverse of the lungs
- oxygen-rich blood is delivered to muscles to meet energy demands
- oxygen moves from capillaries (higher concentration) into the muscles (lower concentration) through thin capillary walls
- CO2, produced by muscles during energy production, moves from the muscles (higher concentration) into the capillaries (lower concentration) to be transported back to the lungs and expelled
45

- submaximal training lasting longer than 20 minutes
- exercising at a consistent intensity over a prolonged period
- increased blood flow and delivery of oxygen

46
EPO and why it enhanced lance's performance
- a naturally occurring hormone which stimulates the production of RBC
- increases red blood cell production which increases the oxygen carrying capacity to muscles
47
Blood doping and why it enhanced lance's performance
- the process of infusing extra human blood into an athletes body prior to performance
- increased red blood cell mass, thus improving oxygen delivery to muscles
48
what does the CVS do in extreme heat?
- Increased heart rate, to try and pump more blood to the body's surface to release heat
- Sweating, to try and cool body down and providing essential blood flow
- Vasodilation, dilating and expanding of blood vessels to increase blood flow and release more heat
49
what does the CVS do in extreme cold?
- Increased heart rate, to ensure warm blood is reaching all the vital muscles
- Shivering, generating heat through muscle activity
- Vasoconstriction, blood vessels to the skin narrow and constrict to decrease blood flow to stop heat loss
50
