45
Q

How do muscles help us move?

A

-when a muscle contracts, it pulls on 1 of the 2 bones to which it is attached, creating movement
-all muscles work across a joint and then contraction occurs, movement takes place altering the joint angle
-Once a muscle contracts to move a bone, another muscle must contract to return the bone to its original position, muscles work in pairs to produce movement

46
Q

Structure and function of the circulatory system
( what does it consist of )

What is the circulatory system also known as

A
  • heart
  • arteries
  • veins
  • capillaries
  • blood

Cardiovascular system

47
Q

Functions of the circulatory system

A
  1. Circulate blood to body
  2. Transport oxygen, water and nutrients to cells in the blood
  3. Transport carbon dioxide, and wastes away from the cells
  4. Maintain body temperature
  5. White blood cells fight infection
48
Q

What happens to the circulation of blood to the body during exercise

A
  • During exercise, blood flow redistributes to the working muscles - 80 - 90% of total cardiac output is directed to the working muscles
49
Q

What happens to the arteries to allow more or less blood flow to certain areas of the body

A

Arteries open up (vasodilate) and constrict (vasoconstrict) to allow more or less blood to certain areas of the body

50
Q

What happens to arteries when taking blood to working muscles

A

Arteries taking blood to working muscles open up (vasodilate) to allow a greater blood flow to the working muscles whilst arteries taking blood to non active areas of the body will contract (vasoconstrict) to reduce blood flow

  • increases the amount of blood available to the working muscles
51
Q

Maintain body temperature

A
  • hypothalamus

Hypothermia
Hyperthermia

52
Q

Hypothermia

A
  • is a potentially dangerous drop in temperature, below 35 °C usually caused by prolonged exposure to cold temperatures
  • Blood vessels will vasoconstrict (contract and reduce in diameter) to decrease the flow of blood to the skin thereby decreasing heat loss.
  • The body also responds by initiating small, involuntary body muscular contractions - ‘shivering’ - to increase body temperature.
53
Q

Hyperthermia

A
  • is elevated body temperature above 38°C due to failed thermoregulation that occurs when the body produces or absorbs more heat than it dissipates.
  • The skin blood vessels will vasodilate (increase in diameter) so there is more blood flow to the skin.
  • The body also responds by increasing sweat production to cool the body down via the evaporation of sweat on the skin surface
54
Q

White blood cells

A

Fight infection
- responsible for moving to isles of infection where the destroy bacteria and other disease causing organisms

62
Q

Systemic circulation

A
  • carries blood from the heart to all parts of the body (except lungs) and back again
  • left she of the heart pumps oxygenated blood to the rest of the body via the aorta
  • deoxygenated blood returns from the body to the right side of the heart via the vena cava
63

A

Responsible for carrying blood from the heart, taking it to different parts of the body and then returning it to the heart

65
Q

Arteries- function

A
  • carry blood away from the heart
  • blood is pushed through the arteries caused by contractions of the heart
  • blood (with the exception of pulmonary arteries of the heart) is oxygenated
  • flow or surge of blood through the arteries with each heart beat can be felt near the surface o fate skin - this is referred to as the PULSE
  • carry blood away from the heart at a high pressure

74
Q

Plasma

A
  • water, nutrients and blood proteins
  • approx. 55% of the total blood volume
  • clear yellow fluid, of which 90% is water
  • plasma carries the blood cells and is continually passed through capillary walls into tissues
  • Provides cells with antibodies proteins, glucose, salts, fats
75
Q

White blood cells

A
  • approx. less than 1% of the total blood volume
  • responsible for moving to sites of infection where they destroy bacteria and other disease causing organisms
76
Q

Red blood cells

A
  • approx. 45% of total blood volume
  • give blood the red colour
  • responsible for carrying oxygen to the cells and the removal of carbon dioxide away from the cells of muscles and organs
77
Q

Platelets

A

(Make up a very small percentage)
- produced in bone marrow and cause the blood to clot when a vessel is damaged, to prevent excess bleeding

78
Q

Respiratory system- consist of

A

Lungs, diaphragm, alveoli
- mechanics of breathing

79
Q

5 functions of the respiratory system

A
  1. Deliver oxygen from the atmosphere to the lungs
  2. Provide method of gaseous exchange within the lungs. Oxygen enters the blood, carbon dioxide exits
  3. Create speech as air passes over the vocal cords
  4. Facilitate sense of smell
  5. Expel heat and water vapor in the air breathed out
80
Q

Structure of the respiratory system (3)

A
  • air passages
  • lungs
  • diaphragm
81
Q

Air passages (7)

A
  • nasal cavity and mouth
  • pharynx
  • larynx
  • trachea
  • bronchi
  • bronchioles
  • alveoli
82
Q

Nasal cavity and mouth

A

Where the air enters the respiratory system

83
Q

Pharynx

A

Where the back of the mouth and nose meet

84
Q

Larynx

A

Produces sound when air passes over the larynx

85
Q

Trachea

A

Assists with air delivery
Also known as wind pipe

86
Q

Bronchi

A

2 tubes that provide air to the lungs

87
Q

Bronchioles

A

Each bronchus subdivides into smaller branches called bronchioles

88
Q

Alveoli

A
  • Cup shaped sacs found at the end of bronchioles
  • Surrounded by capillaries, they provide the site for continual exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide
  • this occurs by the process of diffusion- the movement of gas from an area of high concentration to low concentration
89
Q

The Lungs
- located
- contain

A
  • located within the thoracic cavity and protected by the sternum, ribs and vertebral column
  • contain - bronchi, bronchioles, and alveoli
90
Q

Gas exchange
Where does the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide occur (2)

A
  • Gas exchange occurs at the site of the alveoli
  • the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide occurs at 2 sites in the body via diffusion
    1. - lungs (alveoli and capillary interface)
    2. Muscles (capillary an muscle interface)
91
Q

Diffusion

A

The movement of substances from a high to low concentration through a semi-permeable membrane

92
Q

What happens when we inhale

A
  • when we inhale, oxygen moves through the lungs and into the alveoli where it diffuses into the blood to be transported to the tissues
93
Q

Gas exchange- concentration gradient

A

Gas exchange takes place due to a concentration difference called a concentration gradient

94
Q

Alveoli - venous blood capillary concentrations

A
  • Alveoli has a high concentration of oxygen
  • venous blood capillary has a low concentration of oxygen

This concentration differential between the alveoli and venous capillaries causes oxygen to move from the alveoli into the blood capillary (from an area of high concentration to low concentration)

95
Q

Gas exchange at the alveoli/ capillary interface
- oxygen and carbon dioxide transfer

A
  • Oxygen moves from the alveoli of the lungs into the capillaries which surround them. Carbon dioxide moves from the capillaries into the alveoli to be expired.
  • Oxygen moves because of high concentration in the alveoli to the capillaries where they are of low concentration.
  • Carbon dioxide moves because of a high concentration in the capillaries to a low concentration in the alveoli.
  • The concentration gradient is maintained by continuous inspiration of oxygen and expiration of the carbon dioxide as well as continuous flow of blood to and from the blood capillaries
96
Q

Alveoli features that allow efficient gas exchange to occur

A
  • large surface area to volume ratio - so lots of opportunity for gas exchange to occur
  • surrounded by capillaries - allow for gas exchange to occur efficiently into the blood
  • very thin walls - to promote diffusion of gases - gas exchange at the capillary/ muscle interface
97
Q

Diffusion - muscles

A
  • diffusion of gases also occurs at the muscle to allow transport of oxygen to muscle tissue and carbon dioxide ( a by -product) to be removed

—Oxygen is of high concentration in the capillaries so moves to the muscle tissues where it is of low concentration
—Carbon dioxide is of high concentration in the muscle tissue so moves to the capillaries where it is of low concentration

98
Q

The diaphragm

A
  • involuntary or smooth muscle that contracts and relaxes to aid breathing at all times
  • as the diaphragm move up and down, the size of the chest cavity changes causing breathing
99
Q

Mechanics of breathing

A
  • 2 movements (inspiration and expiration)
  • gases move from an area of high pressure to low pressure
100
Q

Inspiration (breathing in)

A
  • volume of lungs increases
  • external intercostal muscles contracts and internal intercostal muscles relax to life rib cage up and the diaphragm contracts to become flatter (this causes a larger volume and thus a area of low pressure)
  • air enters the lungs moving from an area of high pressure to low pressure
101
Q

Expiration (breathing out)

A
  • volume of lungs decreases
  • external intercostal muscles relax and internal intercostal muscles contract to lower rib cage and diaphragm relaxes to become dome shaped (this causes a smaller volume and thus an area of high pressure)
  • air exits the lungs from an area of high pressure to low
