16
Q

veins

A

low in oxygen

17
Q

vasodilation

A

opening of arteries- skin and muscle in exercise

18
Q

vasoconstriction

A

closing of arteries- major organs in exercise

19
Q

blood pressure

A

pressure exerted by the blood in the arteries when the heart releases

20
Q

2 types of blood pressure and what are they

A

diastolic- when the heart relaxes and fills with blood
systolic- blood pumped by hear ( thuds)

21
Q

thermoregulation

A

balanced body temp

22
Q

heat exhaustion

A

bloodflow to skin increases and to working muscle decreases

23
Q

dehydration

A

blood plasma is reduced making blood thicker, by sweating to remove heat you loose plasma

24
Q

2 hyperthermia causes

A

heat cramp, dizziness, loss of p[lasma

25
Q

heat exhaustion

A

serious cramps, more fluid lost from sweating

26
Q

heat stroke

A

higher tempthan 40°

27
Q

to treat hyperthermia

A

remove clothes, sponge and cold water

28
Q

hypothermia causes

A

heat not going to liver and heart
narrowed blood vessels

29
Q

treatment for hypothermia

A

remove wet clothes
hot packs on armpit and neck
