Q

describe the importance of the function protection in the skeletal system.

A
  • many bones act as a a shell to protect the body
  • they protect vital organs as well as the spinal cord
  • this is crucial for any person for everyday life but particularly sport and physical exercise.

Q

describe the importance of the function muscle attachment in the skeletal system.

A
  • the skeleton is jointed to allow us to move
  • muscles are attached to bones via tendons; when muscles contract, they pull on the bone creating movement

the heart, blood vessels and blood

83
Q

what are the three functions of the cardiovascular system?

A

transport, clotting, temperature regulation

84
Q

explain the function of clotting in the cardiovascular system

A

clotting is the formation of a scab which is caused from the platelets found in the blood. clotting guards the body against infection and disease and helps reduce excess bleeding

85
Q

explain the function of temperature relation in the cardiovascular system

A
  • to avoid overheating during physical activity the body needs to regulate its temperature.
  • vasodilation takes place when the body is too hot as it increases blood flow to the skin where it is cooled
  • by controlling the lumen of blood vessels allows the body to remain it’s temperature at 37 degrees.
86
Q

explain the function of transport in the cardiovascular system

A
  • blood delivers what the body need to work such as oxygen and nutrients
  • good transport is crucial in daily life but particularly in physical activity
  • the blood also carries waste such as co2 and lactic acid
  • the need to get rid of waste products increases when doing physical activity
87
Q

explain the structure of the cardiovascular system

A
  • 4 chambers: right and left atrium
    right and left ventricle
  • right side carries deoxygenated blood and left side carried oxygenated blood
  • deoxygenated blood goes to the lungs and oxygenated blood goes to the body
88
Q

Arteries carry __________ blood ____ from the heart (except the _________ artery). Arteries have ____ blood pressure which gets higher during ________. Blood travels at a ____ speed and has _____ ________ walls. Arteries have a _____ diameter _____. There are ___________ muscles in the walls and they have no ______.

A

Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart (except the pulmonary artery). Arteries have high blood pressure which gets higher during exercise. Blood travels at a high speed and has thick muscular walls. Arteries have a small diameter lumen. There are involuntary muscles in the walls and have no valves.

89
Q

Veins carry ____________ blood __ ___ heart (except the _________ vein). Veins have ___ blood pressure and the blood travels at a ___ speed. They have ____ walls and a _____ diameter _____. There are __ muscles in the walls and they have ______ which will prevent ________ of blood.

A

Veins carry deoxygenated blood to the heart (except the pulmonary vein). Veins have low blood pressure and the blood travels at a low speed. They have thin walls and a large diameter lumen . There are no muscles in the walls and they have valves which will prevent back flow of blood.

90
Q

Capillaries carry __________ blood and ____________ blood to __________ cells. Capillaries have a ___ blood pressure and the blood travels at a ___ speed. They have ____ walls ( _ cell thick) and the walls allow ______ to _______ through them. Capillaries have a _____ diameter lumen and have __ muscles in walls and __ valves.

A

Capillaries carry oxygenated blood and deoxygenated blood to individual cells. Capillaries have a low blood pressure and the blood travels at a low speed. They have thin walls ( 1 cell thick) and the walls allow oxygen to diffuse through them. Capillaries have a small diameter lumen and have no muscles in walls and no valves.

91
Q

point to different parts on structure of heart

A

see book

92
Q

what are the atria?

A

the atria are the two upper chambers of the heart where blood enters.

93
Q

what are the ventricles?

A

the ventricles are the two lower chambers of the heart from where blood exists.

94
Q

what is the tricuspid valve?

A

a one-way gate that separates the right atrium from the right ventricle

95
Q

what is the bicuspid valve?

A

a one-way gate that separates the left atrium from the left ventricle

96
Q

what is the semi-lunar valves?

A

one-way gates at the entrance to the aorta and pulmonary artery, which prevent the backflow of the blood into the heart.

97
Q

what is the aorta?

A

the artery that carries blood from the heart to the rest of the body

98
Q

what is the vena cava?

A

the large vein entering the right atrium of the heart that caries deoxygenated blood back from the body to the heart. there is an inferior vena cava and a superior vena cava

99
Q

what is the pulmonary artery?

A

the artery that carries deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs

100
Q

what is the pulmonary vein?

A

the vein that carries deoxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart.

101
Q

what is the function and importance of red blood cells in physical activity?

A

Red blood cells contain haemoglobin, which carries oxygen. These are partially important in team and endurance sports.

102
Q

what is the function and importance of white blood cells in physical activity?

A

White blood cells help fight infections and diseases. These are very important in all sports to allow the athlete to perform at their optimum level.

103
Q

what is the function and importance of platelets in physical activity?

A

Platelets clot the the blood at the site of a wound. These are especially important for contact sports as they get cuts and injuries more frequently.

104
Q

what is the function and importance of plasma in physical activity?

A

Plasma is the liquid element of blood that allows it to flow. All sports need this as without it, blood wouldn’t be able to flow to the working muscles.

105
Q

what is the composition of the different components in inhaled air?

A

nitrogen - 78%
oxygen - 21%
carbon dioxide - 0.03%
other gases - 0.97%

106
Q

what is the composition of the different components in exhaled air?

A

nitrogen - 78%
oxygen - 16%
carbon dioxide - 4%
other gases - 2%

107
Q

why is there a difference between the amount of oxygen breathed in/out?

A

The oxygen gets used up in the body when going to working muscles.

108
Q

why is the amount of nitrogen breathed in/out the same?

A

Nitrogen levels stay the same because the body does not use or produce nitrogen.

the pressure decreases

117
Q

during expiration what happens to the pressure?

A

the pressure increases

118
Q

define the term diffusion

A

the term used to describe how molecules move from an area higher concentration to an area of lower concentration in an attempt to reach a balance.

119
Q

define the term gaseous exchange

A

Oxygen moves from the air in the alveoli into the blood in the capillaries, while carbon dioxide moves from the blood in the capillaries into the air in the alveoli.

120
Q

why are the capillaries and alveoli closely wrapped together?

A

so that the gases only have to diffuse across a short distance

121
Q

why does the blood supply to the alveoli need to be substantial?

A

So that lots of gas can be carried away quickly

122
Q

what is the benefit to having around 400 million alveoli in your lungs?

A

it provides a large surface area for diffusion to take place

123
Q

why does gaseous exchange take place?

A

gaseous exchange happens to increase levels of oxygen to working muscles and remove increased waste products such as carbon dioxide.

124
Q

what are the two types of methods that muscles can use to produce energy?

A

-aerobically, using oxygen
-anaerobically, without oxygen

125
Q

what determines wether an exercise is aerobic or anaerobic?

A

-the intensity of the exercise; how powerful it is
- the duration of activity; how long the activity lasts

126
Q

define aerobic work

A

working at a moderate intensity so that the body has time to use oxygen for energy production and can work for a continuous period of time

127
Q

define anaerobic work

A

working at high intensity without oxygen for energy production. the work period will be short in duration, because the energy is limited

128
Q

define carbohydrate

A

fuel for aerobic and anaerobic activity. Carbohydrate sources include rice, pasta, and bread.

129
Q

define glucose

A

carbohydrates are connected into glucose, which is used as a fuel in energy production

130
Q

define fat

A

fuel for aerobic activity. sources of fat include butter and oil

131
Q

define fatty acids

A

fats are converted into fatty acids, which are used to fuel in energy production

132
Q

define intensity

A

how relatively powerful something is

133
Q

define duration

A

how long something is

134
Q

define energy

A

the capacity to do work

135
Q

define lactic acid

A

a by-product of energy production, which is formed when the body is exercising anaerobically at high intensity. A build up of lactic acid results in muscle fatigue.

136
Q

what are the two aerobic energy production equations?

A

carbs –>glucose+o2=energy+co2+h20
fat –>fatty acids+o2=energy+co2+h20

137
Q

give an example of aerobic activity

A

marathon, endurance cycling or long distance open-water swimming

138
Q

what are the by products of aerobic energy production?

A

carbon dioxide, water

139
Q

what is the anaerobic energy production equation?

A

carbs–>glucose=energy+lactic acid

140
Q

give an example of anaerobic activity

A

100m or 200m sprint, or short sharp activities which happen to quickly for oxygen to be used.

141
Q

define cardiac output (Q)

A

the volume of blood pumped out of the heart per minute, measured in litres per minute (1/min)

142
Q

define stroke volume (sv)

A

the amount of blood pumped out of the heart per beat. The average resting stoke volume is around 70 mil per heart beat (ml/beat)

143
Q

what is the cardiac equation?

A

sv x hr = Q

144
Q

define tidal volume (Tv)

A

the amount of air inhaled or exhaled per breath, measured in millilitres (m) It is also referred to as your ‘depth of breathing’.

145
Q

define frequency (f)

A

the number of breathes taken per minute, measured in breaths. It is also refer to as your ‘rate of breathing’.

146
Q

what is the respiratory equation?

A

Tv x F = VE

147
Q

define minute ventilation

A

the amount of air inhaled or exhaled per minute measured in litres.

148
Q

define vital capacity

A

the maximum amount of air exhaled following a maximum inhalation

149
Q

during exercise what happens to heart rate and why?

A

heart rate increases to pump more blood to working muscles which are in need of more oxygen and remove Co2 faster

150
Q

during exercise what happens to stroke volume and why?

A

stroke volume increases so that more blood (carrying oxygen) can go to working blood vessels more efficiently

151
Q

during exercise what happens to vasodilation (blood shunting)?

A

The lumen widens to increase blood flow to active muscles and to prevent over heating

152
Q

during exercise what happens to vasoconstriction (blood shunting)?

A

The lumen narrows to decrease blood flow to inactive areas such as the digestive system

153
Q

during exercise why do you start sweating?

A

A by product of respiration to get rid of water and to cool us down

154
Q

during exercise what happens to blood pressure and why?

A

blood pressure increases to get more blood quicker to active areas

155
Q

what does a spirometer test for?

A

vital capacity, tidal volume, frequency

156
Q

what is the importance of spirometers in sport?

A

spirometers help measure the performance of your lungs and so in sport trials they might be used to determine who would be in best condition for the team/squad

157
Q

at rest what is the frequency of breaths like?

A

at rest, frequency is relatively low at around 12-15 breaths per minute

158
Q

at rest what is tidal volume like?

A

at rest, tidal volume is relatively low at around 500ml

159
Q

during exercise what is the frequency of breaths like?

A

during exercise, the frequency of breathing increases as the is air inhaled and exhaled more frequently

160
Q

during exercise what is the tidal volume like?

A

during exercise, the tidal volume increases to bring more air into the lungs per breath

161
Q

define muscle fatigue

A

a reduction in a muscles’ ability to produce force

162
Q

define lactic accumulation

A

the name given to the process of lactic acid accumulating within the blood and muscles due to increased work intensity
