Q

Why do these effects happen?

A

To increase oxygen levels in the blood and the blood flow is faster. This will increase respiration as more energy will be used during respiration

Q

What is gas exchange and where does it take place in humans?

A

Gas exchange in humans takes place in the alveoli of the lungs. This is one job of the lungs to put oxygen into the blood and remover carbon dioxide.

17
Q

What is aerobic respiration?

A

When the body is able to supply the cells with oxygen and glucose

18
Q

When do we use anaerobic respiration?

A

When the body cannot supply the cells with the oxygen needed to break down glucose. This is when energy is released without oxygen

19
Q

What are the three main substances in cigarettes?

A

Tar
Nicotine
Carbon monoxide

20
Q

What is tar, and what does it do?

A

Tar is a substance that contains carcinogens it causes cancer, less oxygen and it costs the lining of the alveoli

21
Q

What is nicotine and what does it do?

A

Nicotine is an addictive drug. It can lead to heart disease, raises heart beat, narrows arteries and causes high blood pressure

22
Q

What is carbon monoxide and what does it do?

A

Carbon monoxide is a poisonous gas. It effects red blood cells and transports less oxygen

23
Q

What supports your body?

A

The skeleton

24
Q

What do bones contain?

A

They are alive and contain blood vessels

25
Q

What do joints allow you to do?

A

Move and bend

26
Q

What keeps your bones and teeth strong?

A

Calcium

27
Q

Bones meet bones and a joint and are held together by what?

A

Ligaments

28
Q

What is a sprain?

A

Damaged your ligament

29
Q

Give 2 examples of hinge joints

A

Elbow joint and knee joint

30
Q

What connects bones to muscle?

A

Tendons

31
Q

What happens when muscles contract?

A

They pull on a tendon which links to another bone allowing you to move

32
Q

Muscles contract and relax to make parts of the body move. What happens when they contract?

A

They get shorter

33
Q

What are the four factors of sport?

A

Speed- how fats you can go
Strength - how strong you are
Stamina - the ability to maintain physical exercise
Suppleness - flexibility

34
Q

What are the roles of the food groups?

A

Carbohydrates - most important source of energy, needed for respiration
Proteins- for growth and repair
Vitamins - for a healthy immune system
Minerals - give iron to red blood cells and calcium for strong bones and teeth
Fats- for insulation
Fibres- helps fill you up and keeps things moving in the digestive system
Water- to keep you hydrated

35
Q

What is respiration used for?

A

Movement
Growth and repair
Building new molecules
Maintaining body temperature

36
Q

What does the Celia do?

A

Helps trap mucus and microorganisms

37
Q

What is the scientific name for the biceps and triceps?

A

Antagonistic muscles

38
Q

What causes your heart rate to increase during exercise?

A

muscles need extra oxygen.This need means that your heart starts pumping faster, which makes for a quicker pulse.

39
Q

What causes your heart rate to increase during exercise?

A

muscles need extra oxygen.This need means that your heart starts pumping faster, which makes for a quicker pulse.

more blood gets out to your body.

40
Q

What is an independent variable?

A

The thing you change

41
Q

What is a dependant variable?

A

The thing you measure

42
Q

What causes your heart to pump?

A

Your heart is controlled by a natural pacemaker, located in the right atrium. It produces electrical impulses that start each heart beat.
