Q

How do slow twitch muscle fibres work?

A

Contract slowly at low intensity to produce a medium contraction. They have good oxygen supply and are resistant to fatigue for aerobic exercise.

40
Q

How do fast twitch muscle fibres work?

A

Contract quickly at high intensity (explosive) to produce a powerful contraction. They have low oxygen supply and are quick to fatigue for anaerobic exercise.

41
Q

What are muscle fibres made up of?

A

Myofibrils

42
Q

What is the difference between Type IIa muscle fibres and Type IIx?

A

Type IIx contract more powerfully and more quickly.

43
Q

What are the functions of the cardiovascular system?

A

TRANSPORT - carries oxygen, glucose, lactic acid and carbon dioxide around the body. The body has the energy it needs while removing the waste it creates.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL - Blood vessel lumen vasodilates, blood is cooler when closer to the skin. Body does not overheat, causing confusion and headaches.
CLOTTING - Platelets stick together to create a scab, preventing infection and blood loss. Prevents common injuries becoming life threatening.

44
Q

What are the 4 heart chambers?

A

Left ventricle, left atrium, right ventricle, right atrium

45
Q

What are the 3 types of valves?

A

Bicuspid, tricuspid, semilunar

46
Q

What is the path the blood takes through the heart?

A

Deoxygenated blood returns to the heart via the vena cava into the right atrium. Blood travels through the tricuspid valve into the right ventricle. Blood leaves the heart for the lungs by the pulmonary artery, through the semi lunar valve. Oxygenated blood returns from the lungs by the pulmonary vein and enters the left atrium. Blood travels through the bicuspid valve into the left ventricle. Blood leaves the heart for the body through the semi lunar valve and the pulmonary artery.

47
Q

What are the 3 types of blood vessel?

A

Arteries, capillaries, veins

48
Q

Define arteries

A

Carry oxygenated blood away from the heart. Small lumen keep high blood pressure so blood travels fast to working muscles. Thick walls allow blood vessels to cope with high blood pressure and assist with vascular shunting.

49
Q

Define veins

A

Carries deoxygenated blood towards the heart. Large lumen allow more blood to get back to the heart quickly. Blood pressure is low because the blood is far from the heart and fighting against gravity. Valves prevent back flow of blood.

50
Q

Define capillaries

A

Blood goes from oxygenated to deoxygenated due to gaseous exchange and diffusion. Tiny lumen and 1 cell thick walls mean blood travels very slowly and easily through the blood vessel to allow gaseous exchange/ diffusion to take place. Blood pressure is really low.

51
Q

What is the role of plasma?

A

Allows blood and nutrients to travel around the body (55% of blood).

52
Q

What is the role of white blood cells and platelets?

A

White blood cells fight infection.
Platelets form clots to prevent excessive bleeding and forms a barrier to prevent infection.
(4% of blood)

53
Q

What is the role of red blood cells?

A

Carries oxygen to working muscles/ organs. Removes carbon dioxide (41% of blood).

54
Q

Define vascular shunting

A

The redistribution of blood, where blood is directed from inactive to active areas.

55
Q

Define vasodilation

A

Widening of the lumen within blood vessels supplying oxygenated blood to active areas.

56
Q

Define vasoconstriction

A

Narrowing of the lumen within blood vessels supplying oxygenated blood to inactive areas.

57
Q

What are the 8 main features of the respiratory system?

A

Alveoli, trachea, lungs, bronchioles, bronchi, intercostal muscles, ribs, diaphragm

58
Q

Define inhalation

A

The process of breathing in.

59
Q

Define exhalation

A

The process of breathing out.

60
Q

What are the steps of inhalation?

A

The diaphragm and intercostal muscles contract. The diaphragm flattens and pulls the bottom of the lungs down. The intercostal muscles pull the ribs and therefore the lungs outwards. The lungs increase in size and the air pressure inside the lungs is reduced. The air pressure outside the body is now higher than the air pressure inside the body. Air travels from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure so air is pulled into the lungs.

61
Q

What are the steps of exhalation?

A

The diaphragm and intercostal muscles relax. Diaphragm moves back up into a dome shape. The relaxed intercostal muscles allow the ribs and lungs to move inwards. The lungs reduce in size and the air pressure inside the lungs is increased. The air pressure outside the body is now lower than the air pressure inside the body. Air travels from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure so air leaves the lungs.

62
Q

Define intensity

A

How hard you are working

63
Q

Define duration

A

How long you are working for.

64
Q

Define diffusion

A

Molecules move from a high concentration area to a low concentration area to reach balance.

65
Q

Define gaseous exchange

A

Oxygen in the alveoli moves into the capillary, carbon dioxide in the blood moves into the alveoli.

66
Q

How does gaseous exchange work?

A

Higher concentration of carbon dioxide in capillary than in alveoli. Carbon dioxide moves from high concentration to low concentration (capillaries to alveoli). Higher concentration of oxygen in alveoli than in capillaries. Oxygen moves from high concentration to low concentration (alveoli to capillary).

67
Q

What happens during exercise?

A

When exercising demand for oxygen increases. Oxygen delivered to muscles. More aerobic respiration. Carbon dioxide diffuses out of the muscles to be breathed out. Still some oxygen debt equals fatigue.

68
Q

Define heart rate

A

The number of times the heart beats per minute.

69
Q

Define stroke volume

A

The amount of blood pumped out per beat.

70
Q

Define cardiac output

A

Heart rate x stroke volume. The amount of blood pumped out per minute.

71
Q

What are short term effects of exercise on the cardiovascular system?

A

Increased heart rate
Increased stroke volume
Increased cardiac output
–> increased oxygen transport to working muscles.

72
Q

What are short term effects of exercise on the respiratory system?

A

Increased breathing rate
Increased tidal volume
–> working muscles demand more oxygen

73
Q

What are short term effects of exercise on the muscular system?

A

Increased muscle temperature
Increased muscle elasticity
Increased lactate production
–> lower risk of injury
–> higher risk of fatigue

74
Q

Define breathing rate

A

The number of breaths taken per minute.

75
Q

Define tidal volume

A

The amount of air inhaled in one breath.

76
Q

Increased capillarisation

78
Q

What is the impact of decrease in resting HR, increased resting stroke volume, increased cardiac output and cardiac hypertrophy on the CV system?

A

More blood ejected from the heart, delivering more oxygenated blood, meaning we can work aerobically for longer, delaying fatigue.

79
Q

What is the impact of increased number of red blood cells?

A

More oxygen to working muscles

80
Q

What is the impact of increased capillarisation?

A

More gaseous exchange means work aerobically for longer.

81
Q

What are the long term effects of exercise on the respiratory system?

A

82
Q

What is the impact of increased tidal volume and vital capacity?

A

More oxygen can be taken into the lungs.

83
Q

What is the impact of increased number of alveoli?

A

Athlete can work aerobically for longer.

84
Q

What is the impact of increased strength of diaphragm and intercostal muscles?

A
