M1 outline the adaptations to cardiovascular, respiratory, musculoskeletal and energy systems, brought about by regular exercise Cardiovascular System The cardiovascular system consists of the blood vessels and the heart. They function is to circulate the blood around the body to all the muscles. The red blood cells carry oxygen to all the muscles through the vein (carries blood to the heart). The veins have thin walls and contain blood under the low pressure.…
Blood vessels – Blood vessels are path through which transport medium circulates in our body. 2. The functions of cardiovascular system are as follows- Transportation- It transports blood to all the parts of body. The blood delivers oxygen and nutrients and eliminates carbon dioxide and waste products from our body.…
2. Why is the circulatory system important? The circulatory system is important because it transports blood and other materials throughout the body. Without the body does not receive oxygen and the lungs and heart will fail. 3.…
A) Explain why transport systems are required in the body? The reasons as to why transport systems are required in the body is because it allows the body to be able to respire and be able to get all that it needs to maintain the same state, for example, oxygen throughout the body as well as nutrients to the cells in the body. An example of a transport system is the Respiratory system. This system is required in the body as it helps the body to take in oxygen, this can be done through the lungs, as it allows it to be absorbed into the blood, through the use of the alveolus found within the tissue of the lungs, in order to provide energy for the cells in the body to keep functioning as well as developing.…
The main role of the respiratory system is to allow the lungs to take in oxygen through inhalation and take out the oxygen that the body does not need through exhalation (Health, MD, 2015).…
Posterior vena cava: The Posterior vena cava is found in the lower body below the heart and extending to the heart. It is much smaller than the anterior vena cava. This vein brings nonoxygenated blood from the lower part of the body to the right atrium. The posterior vena cava is part of the circulatory system.…
Body systems and the bond types of Vitamins and Minerals go hand in hand. The Digestive System breaks down food into vitamins and minerals to be transported to other body systems. The Integumentary System is made up of skin, which uses copper to create Melanin to help protect against the sun. The Integumentary System also uses Vitamins A and C, as well as Niacin and Zinc for healthy growth and repair of skin. The Respiratory System consists of mouth, nose and lungs to inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide.…
There are eleven different systems that works together in order to sustain life. Cardiovascular disease is associated primarily with the cardiovascular system. The cardiovascular system consists of the following structures; heart, blood vessels, and blood. This systems primary function is to circulate blood throughout the body by pumping blood from the heart. Located between the lungs superior to the diaphragm, and surrounded by a protective and supportive covering known as the pericardium is the heart.…
The heart is a muscular organ that consists of four chambers: the right atrium, the left atrium, the right ventricle and the left ventricle. It is contained in a sac-like membrane called the pericardium where the inner layer of this, the epicardium, is in direct contact with the heart. During the cardiac cycle the right atrium receives deoxygenated blood coming from the superior and inferior vena cava (this blood has been transported from various parts of the body). The deoxygenated blood is pumped through to the right ventricle and transported to the lungs through the pulmonary arteries to be oxygenated during pulmonary circulation. This is permitted by the tricuspid valve which opens and allows blood to flow from the right atrium to the right…
is an organ system that allows blood to circulate the body, this transports oxygen, carbon dioxide, hormones and blood cells to cells around the body what need these. The systematic is what carries the oxygenated blood away from the heart to the body, which the returns deoxygenated and this goes back to the heart. The cardiovascular system works to help fight things like diseases, stabilize temperature and pH and maintain homeostasis, so when the body needs help the cardiovascular system steps in and fights these. The cardiovascular system is one of two parts of the circulatory system, the other one being lymphatic system (which carries the lymph).…
The cardiovascular system is another major organ system that is required for life. It helps pump blood, which transports oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, wastes, and heat throughout the body (Handout: CHAPTER 17: HEMOTOLOGY: BLOOD). However, more than half of the population around the world are affected by chronic diseases. The leading cause of chronic disease is heart failure (HF) (Mello). According to the Assistant Professor in Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center School of Nursing Inola Thomas Mello, millions of people worldwide are diagnosed with congestive heart failure (CHF).…
The digestive system is the source of food decomposition, energy as well as feces are created in the process. The urinary system is responsible for eliminating liquid waste from the body, water and electrolyte balance as well as the acid-base balance in the blood. The nervous system and the muscular system work together to manipulate the body, help with coordination, as well as create heat. The cardiovascular system is responsible for the transportation of blood which includes nutrients, wastes, oxygen, and carbon dioxide. The heart is a major contributor to the cardiovascular system because it pumps the blood throughout the body.…
In this assignment I will be explaining the physiology of two body systems, the cardiovascular system and the respiratory system in the relation to energy metabolism in the body. Energy metabolism is where energy is generated from nutrients and delivered to the organs around the body. Energy is needed in the body in order muscular movement, circulation of the blood, lymph and tissue fluid, breathing process, cell growth and repair, the transition of nerve impulses and for the building of different complex molecules. The cardiovascular system There are four major functions of the cardiovascular system, these include: the transportation of nutrients, gases and waste products around the body, the protection of the body from infections and blood…
The respiratory system moves oxygen from the outside environment into the body. It also removes carbon dioxide and water from the body. Respiration is different than breathing; breathing refers to the movement of air into and out of the lungs. Respiration refers to the chemical changes inside…
The heart is an essential part of a human’s body. It is a muscular organ located at the center of the circulatory system that pumps blood throughout the body. The system comprises of veins, arteries, and capillaries, and these blood vessels carry blood to and from all areas of one’s body to sustain life. It beats around 100,000 times and pumps around 2,000 gallons per day. The heart is vital to one’s health and everything that goes on in his or her body.…
