24
Q

Structure of Veins + function.

A

Carry blood TOWARDS the heart
All Veins carry deoxygenated blood EXCEPT pulmonary veins
Thin walls = carry blood at low pressure
Large Lumen
Valves = stop blood flowing wrong way

25
Q

Structure of Capillaries + function.

A

Carry blood through the body to exchange gases + nutrients with the body’s tissues
Very thin walls = substances can easily pass through
narrow = lots of them can fit into the body’s tissue
Large surface area = gaseous exchange happens easily + blood flows through them slowly - giving more time for gaseous exchange.

26
Q

Name and explain the two other types of blood vessels.

A

Arterioles (branch off arteries) = oxygenated blood flows through arteries into arterioles then into capillaries

`Venules = After gases have been exchanged between the capillaries blood is transported into venules, where it flows back into the veins

27
Q

what is vasodilation and vasoconstriction?

A

Vasodilation = blood vessels get wider, decreases blood pressure - happens during exercise

Vasoconstriction = blood vessels constrict get narrower

28
Q

State Pathway of blood.

A

RIGHT SIDE
Deoxygenated blood into right Atrium from vena carva (vein) as heart relaxes (Diastole)
Right Atrium contracts (systole) pushing blood through a valve into right Ventricle
Right Ventricle contracts pushing blood through another valve into the Pulmonary Artery (carries deoxygenated blood to lungs)
Gaseseous exchange occurs in lungs - blood is oxygenated

LEFT SIDE
Oxygenated blood enters left Atrium from pulmonary Vein as heart relaxes
Left Atrium contracts, pushing blood through a valve into left Ventricle
Left Ventricle contracts, pushing blood through another valve to aorta (artery)
(transports oxygentated blood to rest of body + muscles)
When the muscles have used the oxygen in the blood it becomes deoxygenated again.

29
Q

State and explain what diastole and systole + what is one cardiac cycle.

A

DIASTOLE = heart relaxes + fills
SYSTOLE = contracts + pumps blood out (ejection)
Both sides of the heart relax and contract at the same time

ONE CARDIAC CYCLE = a phase of diastole + systole - ‘one heartbeat’

30
Q

What is the function of valves?

A

Valves OPEN due to pressure and let blood fill the heart chamber
valves CLOSE to prevent backflow

31
Q

What is the calculation for cardiac output?

A

Heart rate x Stroke volume

32
Q

Definition of Heart rate.

A

Number of times your heart beats per minute

33
Q

Definition of stroke volume.

A

Amount of blood each ventricle pumps with each contraction/ heartbeat

34
Q

Definition of Cardiac Output.

A

Volume of blood pumped be a ventricle per minute

35
Q

What happens to your heart rate, stroke volume and cardiac output during and after exercise?

A

increases - will stay high after exercise until any oxygen debt is paid off

36
Q

What happens to your blood pressure during exercise (Systolic + Diastolic)

A

SYSTOLIC = Increases
DIASTOLIC = doesn’t change much (blood pressure when heart is relaxed)

37
Q

What is anticipatory rise + where will it be found on a heart rate graph?

A

Just before you start exercising heart rate increases – person starts to think about taking part in exercise

38
Q

Explain Inspiration (at rest).

A

INSPIRATION = Diaphragm + intercostal muscles contract to move ribcage upwards and expand chest cavity. Decreasing air pressure in the lungs, drawing air in.

39
Q

Explain Expiration (at rest)

A

EXPIRATION = Diaphragm + intercostals relax moving ribcage down and shrinking chest cavity. Increases air pressure in the lungs, forcing air out of lungs.

40
Q

What muscles are used for Inspiration during exercise + why?

A
  • Pectorals
  • Sternocleidomastoid
    Expand lungs more to let extra air in = more oxygen taken in and transferred to blood = helps meet increased demand for oxygen in muscles during exercise.
41
Q

What muscles are used for Expiration during exercise + why?

A
  • Abdominal muscles
    Pull ribcage down and shrink chest cavity quicker so you breathe out faster. Helps you breathe out the extra carbon dioxide produced during aerobic respiration = can do exercise for longer.
42
Q

What causes Inhalation + Exhalation?

A

Changes in air pressure.

43
Q

What is tidal volume ?

A

The amount of air you breathe in or out during one breath. It increases during exercise as you take deeper breaths.

44
Q

What is Inspiratory Reserve Volume? What happens to it during excercise?

A

Maximum amount of additional air that can be taken into the lungs after a normal breath.
Decreases during exercise due to breathing in more air so you cant breathe in as much extra air.

45
Q

What is Expiratory Reserve Volume? What happens to it during exercise?

A

Maximum amount of additional air that can be forced out of the lungs after a normal breath.
Decreases during exercise due to breathing out more air than normal so you can’t breathe out as much extra air.

46
Q

What is Residual Volume? What happens during exercise?

A

Volume of air remaining in the lungs after maximum forceful expiration.
Stays same during exercise

47
Q

What happens to Tidal volume and Breathing rate during Exercise?

A

Increases

48
Q

What is a spirometer ?

A

Measures the volume of air moving in and out of someone’s lungs.

49
Q

What is aerobic exercise and the equation ?

A

Exercise with oxygen

Glucose + Oxygen —> CO2 + Water + Energy

50
Q

What is anaerobic activity and it’s equation ?

A

Exercise without oxygen

Glucose —> lactic acid + energy

51
Q

Name a sporting example that uses aerobic respiration.

A

Marathon runner
Exercising long periods of time however not too fast but steady.

52
Q

Name a sporting example that uses anaerobic respiration.

A

Sprinter
Exercise is short duration but high intensity

53
Q

Definition of EPOC.

A

Excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC)/oxygen debt as the result of muscles respiring anaerobically during vigorous exercise and producing lactic acid.

54
Q

How does a performer repay the oxygen debt?

A

Requires a maintained increased breathing rate after exercise.

55
Q

What are the Immediate Effects of Exercise (during exercise) ?

A
  • Hot/ sweaty/ red skin
  • Increase in depth + frequency of breathing
  • Increased heart rate
56
Q

What are the Short Term Effects of Exercise (24 to 36 hours after exercise) ?

A
  • Tiredness + fatigue
  • Light headedness
  • Nausea
  • Aching / Delayed Onset of Muscle Soreness (DOMS) / Cramp
57
Q

What are the Long Term Effects of Exercise (months and years of exercising) ?

A
  • Body shape may change
  • Improvements in specific COF
  • Build muscle strength (Muscular Hypertrophy)
  • Improve suppleness
  • Improve stamina
  • Increase in the size of the heat (Cardiac Hypertrophy)
    -Lower resting heart rate (Bradycardia)
58
Q

Suggest different recovery processes from vigorous exersice.

A
  • COOL DOWN – maintain elevated breathing rate/heart rate (blood flow), stretching, removal of lactic acid
  • MANIPULATION OF DIET – rehydration, carbohydrates for energy
  • ICE BATHS / MASSAGE – prevention of delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS).
