27
function of respiratory system
definition - exchange of gases within and outside of the body
function - supplying body cells with oxygen and removing carbon dioxide
28
external respiration
ventilation/breathing - gaseous exchange between organism and its environment
29

- use of oxygen and production of carbon dioxide by mitochondria in cytoplasm of cells
- produces energy in the form of ATP
30

- trachea (windpipe)
- bronchi
- bronchioles
- alveoli
31
major functions of respiratory system
- gas exchange between air and circulating blood
- move air to and from exchange surfaces of lungs along respiratory passages
- protection from dehydration, temp changes, defending tissues from invasion of pathogens
- produces sounds for speaking, singing, etc
- detection of smell
32
inspiration
air movement from the atmosphere into the lungs breathing in
process - diaphragm contracts, ribs move up/down, chest expands, pressure in lungs decreases, air moves from high pressure to low pressure area, air is drawn to lungs
33
expiration
air movement from the lungs to the atmosphere breathing out
process - diaphragm and ribs return to their at-rest state, decreases size of chest, pressure inside lungs is high, air is forced out of lungs
34
gas exchange
oxygen exchange occurs in the lungs because of the high levels of carbon dioxide and low levels of oxygen
35
external respiration
- transfer of gas between organs (lungs) and outer environment (air)
- happens before internal respiration
- inhaling oxygen from air to lungs and expelling carbon dioxide from lungs back to air
physical process where oxygen is taken up in capillaries of lung alveoli and carbon dioxide is released from blood
36
internal respiration
- transfer of gas between the blood and cells
- oxygen is released to tissue or living cells and carbon dioxide is absorbed by blood
- once inside the cell, oxygen forms as ATP
37
main parts of circulatory system

45
platelets
features:
- tiny structures made from bone marrow cells that have no nucleus
function:
- blood-clotting agencies that help stop bleeding

features:
- formed in bone marrow and contain iron haemoglobin
- flat disc shaped cell that provides large surface area for taking up oxygen
function:
- transports oxygen and carbon dioxide around body
- pick up oxygen from lungs and transport around body to muscles, tissues and organs, where its exchanged for carbon dioxide
- transport carbon dioxide back to lungs and exchange occurs again
47

53
pulmonary circulation in the heart
the flow of blood from heart to lungs and back to heart
54
systemic circulation in the heart
flow of blood from heart to body tissue and back to heart
55
blood pressure
force that blood exerts on the walls of blood vessels
reflects the quantity of blood being pushed out of heart (cardiac output) and the ease or difficulty that blood encounters in passing through the arteries (resistance to flow)
56
venous return

WITH OXYGEN

76
anaerobic energy system
WITHOUT OXYGEN
lactic acid
ATP
breaks down glucose in the body without using oxygen
higher intensity = shorter duration = less oxygen required
example - sprinting, HIIT training
77
FITT principle
FREQUENCY - refers to how often aerobic training should occur
INTENSITY - refers to level of exercise
TIME - refers to how long the aerobic training session should last
TYPE - refers to the form of exercise that is undertaken
78
immediate physiological responses to training
the changes that take place within specific body organs and tissue during exercise
- heart rate
- ventilation rate
- stroke volume
- cardiac output
- lactate levels
79
ventilation rate
rate at which breathing occurs, measured in bpm - increases with exercise
80
heart rate
number of times the heart beats per minute (bpm) - increases with exercise
81
stroke volume (SV)
volume of blood pumped out of left ventricle of heart during each systolic cardiac contraction - increases with exercise
82
cardiac output
- volume of blood being pushed out of both ventricles in heart
- product of heart rate and stroke volume, measured in litres
- increases with exercise
heart rate x stroke volume = cardiac output
e.g 60 x 100 = 6000ml/min of blood exerted into body from heart per minute
83
lactate levels
amount of lactic acid in your blood
- fitter you are = longer you can delay build up of lactic acid
- harder exercise = more lactic acid builds up
- increases with exercise
84
resting heart rate
heart rate when completely at rest - rate decreases as you get fitter
85
steady state heart rate
period of time during which oxygen uptake remains at a constant level
example - swimming at a constant period
86
working heart rate
how much your heart rate increases according to intensity of exercise effort
- low resting heart rate = good cardiovascular system
- increases with exercise
87
ventilation rate
how deep (depth) you take as breath and the rate (how many times you take a breath) you do that per minute
- as we exercise, demand for oxygen by muscle cells increases, causing a ventilation response
- ventilation has 2 phases = inspiration (breathing air in), expiration (releasing air from lungs)
- higher depth = more oxygen enters
88
function of stroke volume
when exercise increases, amount of blood that heart discharges increases
- stroke volume increases as heart rate increases
- heart rate increase = more blood pumped
- stroke volume increases as it has to eject more blood as more is being pumped
89
force
force is the push or pull acting on a body
(push or pull, blow or impact, friction against two surfaces rubbing together)
90
internal force
develop within the body by contraction of a muscle group causing joint angle to decrease
example - contraction of quadriceps when kicking a football
91
external force
come from outside the body and act on it one way or another
example - gravity is external force that prevents objects from leaving the ground
92
common properties of forces
1. magnitude - how much force is applied
2. direction - angle at which force is applied
3. point of application - place on body where force is applied
4. line of action - represents a straight line through the point of application in the direction that the force is acting
93
applied forces
a force with which an object has been pushed or pulled
force (foot) applied to surface of a running track and another force opposes it from outside the body
94
reaction force
how running track reacts to force of runners legs/feet making contact with that surface
greater force runner produces = greater resistance from the track
both the runner and track each exert a force equal to whatever force is being applied (pushing and pulling)
95
fluid mechanics
forces that operate in water and air environments
example - throwing a javelin, swimming in a pool, hitting a golf ball
96
flotation
BUOYANCY - upward force on body when its immersed in water
effect - reduce apparent weight pf body by opposing gravity
example - water level in bath rises because your body takes up space that was previously occupied by water
CENTRE OF BUOYANCY - centre of gravity of a volume of water displaced by an object when its immersed in water
example - when body is fully submerged, the centre of buoyancy of swimmer will fall directly above the swimmers centre of gravity
97
fluid resistance
force that opposes movement through a fluid
98
amount of drag that causes resistance is based on these factors:
fluid density - water is denser than air, froward motion in this fluid is more difficult
shape - if body or object is streamlined at the front and tapered towards the tail, the fluid experiences less turbulence = less resistance
surface - smooth surface = less turbulence = less drag
size of frontal area - if front of a person is large, resistance to forward motion is increased
example - swimmers have swimsuits with special material to reduce resistance and increase flow through fluid for faster swimming time
99
types of drag forces
SURFACE DRAG - caused by friction between surface of object and fluid surrounding it (water/air)
example - rowing boats are highly polished, creating a smooth surface that water can flow past easily
PROFILE DRAG - refers to drag created by the shape and size of body of object in fluid
example - cyclists reduce profile drag by bending forward on the bike to make their front profile smaller and by following closely behind other cyclists to reduce wind draft
