Define the term body system
groups of organs and tissues that work together to perform important jobs for the body.
what is the main role of the respiratory system
The respiratory system’s main job is to move fresh air into your body while removing waste gases
what is the main role of the circulatory system
to move nutrients, hormones, oxygen and other gases to your body’s organs, muscles and tissues, to use for energy, growth and repair.
what is the main role of the skeletal system
It gives your body its shape, allows movement, makes blood cells, provides protection for your organs and stores minerals.
what is the main role of the muscular system
Muscles, attached to bones or internal organs and blood vessels, are responsible for movement.
what does the respiratory system support during exercise
The lungs bring oxygen into the body, to provide energy, and remove carbon dioxide, the waste product created when you produce energy.
what does the circulatory system support during exercise
As people exercise, their heart will become stronger and will be able to pump more oxygen-rich blood around their body
what does the skeletal system support during exercise
the bones of the skeletal system act as levers that transfer force generated by the muscles to produce movement
what does the muscular system support during exercise
Muscular system functions include mobility, stability, posture, circulation, and more.
list the functions in the body that allow us to breath
- Nose
- Nasal cavity
- Pharynx
- Larynx
- Trachea
6 Bronchi - Lungs
what does hydration do for our bodies when we exercise
maintain your concentration and performance, increase your endurance, and prevent excessive elevations in heart rate and body temperature
what are the three energy systems
- Anaerobic
- Aerobic
- Anaerobic Lactic
An overview of the Anaerobic system
short, fast, high-intensity exercises that don’t make your body use oxygen
An overview of the Aerobics system
a physical activity that uses your body’s large muscle groups, is rhythmic and repetitive. It increases your heart rate and how much oxygen your body uses.
An overview of Anaerobic Lactic
provides energy for medium to high-intensity bursts of activity that lasts from 10 seconds to a max of approximately 90 seconds.
