Role of tendons
Muscle to bone
Role of ligaments
Bone to bone
Pathway of air
Mouth/nose
Trachea
Bronchi
Bronchioles
Alaveoli
Adaptations of alveoli that promote gaseous exchange
Large surface are + One cell thick walls ( short distance for diffusion)
Lots of capillaries (large blood supply) = concentration gradient for diffusion
Artery
Function: Carry blood away from the heart
Wall: Thick, muscular walls to withstand blood flowing at high pressure as it leaves the heart.
Lumen : Small
Capppilarie
Function: Allows diffusion of gases and nutrients from blood into the body cells
Wall: very thin one cell thick
Lumen: very small, only allows blood to pass through one cell at a time
Other features: walls are made out of a semi permeable membrane to allow diffusion of gases and nutrients
Vein
Function: Carry blood towards the heart
Wall : thin
Lumen : large
Other features: contain valves to prevent backflow
Pathway of blood through the heart
Deoxygenated blood into right atrium from the vena cava
Atrium contract sand blood is pushed through the valve into the right ventricle
Pulmonary artery transports deoxygenated blood to lungs
Gaseous exchange occurs and blood is oxygenated
Oxygenated blood enters the lefts atrium through the pulmonary vein
Then into left ventricle
Aorta transports oxygenated blood to rest of body
Cardiac output =
Stroke volume x heart rate
Mechanics of breathing at rest
When you inhale diaphragm and intercostals contract to move the rib cage upwards
This decreases the air preassure in the lungs, drawing air in
Tidal volume
The amount of air you breathe in or out during one breath
Inspiratory reserve volume
The amount of air you can still inhale after a normal breath
Experotry reserve volume
The volume of air you can exhale after a normal breath
Residual volume
The volume of air left in your lungs after maximal exhalation
Aerobic excersise
Excersie with oxygen
Anaerobic exercise
Excersise without oxygen
Anaerobic respiration equation
Glucose = energy + lactic acid
Aerobic energy equation
Glucose + oxygen = carbon dioxide + energy + water
Immediate effects of excersise
Increase in depth and frequency of breathing
Increased heart rate
Increased temperature
Short term affects of excersise
Doms
Nausea
Fatigue
Light headed
Long terms affects of excersise
Muscular hypertrophy
Bradycardia (lower resting heart rate)
Strength increase
Loss of fat
Mechanical advantage equation
Effort arm divided by weight arm

Second class lever
ELF
Third class lever
