Yr12 Physiology Flashcards
Myoglobin
Receives oxygen from the red blood cells
Minute ventilation
Volume of gas inhaled or exhaled from a persons lungs per minute
Cardiac conduction system (in order)
SA node- pacemaker which emits a signal to contract the atria
Atrial systole
Av node- receive signal from sa node and delays response
Bundle of his- seperate signal into left and right
Purkinje fibres- spread signal and cause ventricles to contract (systole) and blood to be pumped out of the Aorta
Adduction
Bringing arms back to side e.g cable flys
Abduction
Arms away from side e.g lat raise
Aerobic system stages
Glycolysis
Kerbs cycle
ETC
Glycolysis
Glucose is converted into energy in presence of oxygen
OBLA
Marks the point in exercise where concentration of lactate in the blood begins to increase and fatigue occurs
Lactate threshold
The accumulation of lactate exceeds the rate in which it can be broken down
Cardiovascular drift
Blood increases in viscosity due to increased water being lost through sweating, this decreases venous return decreasing stroke volume and heart rate increasing as a result to compensate
Longitudinal axis
Pirouette
Rotation
Transverse axis
Shoulder to opposite foot
Cartwheel
Transverse axis
One side of body to the other
Somersault
Sagital plane
Splits left and right
Flexion extension
Transverse plane
Splits top and bottom
Abduction and adduction
