LESSON 2 Flashcards
plays a vital role in maintaining the health and function of the respiratory system
Exercise
refers to the capacity of the circulatory and respiratory systems to supply oxygen to skeletal muscle mitochondria for energy production needed during physical activity
Cardiorespiratory fitness
controls movement activity in the nervous system and muscles.
hormonal system
are produced in endocrine glands and transported through blood to target cells.
Hormones
affects hormone release, while neurohyphysis produces hormones like antidiuretic hormone and growth hormone
Adenohypophysis
maintain glucose levels in the blood
Insulin and glucagon
reducing glucose levels during movement
insulin
increasing them during anaerobic activity.
glucagon
Composition of Cardiovascular System
heart, blood vessels, and blood.
is the sequence of events that results in the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the atmosphere and the body cells.
Respiration
is an exchange of gases between the lungs and the blood.
External respiration
the exchange of gases between the blood and tissue cells
Internal respiration
the cells utilize the oxygen for their specific activities
Cellular metabolism, or cellular respiration
