Respiratory System
During the early parts of exercise odour breathing rate increases and if that increases then always our tidal volume increase but during steady state excise they start to plateau off and therefore our respiratory centre that is found inside our medulla so as soon as our breathing rate plateaus our tidal volume will do the same thing and plateau off.
Oxygen dissociation curves is a place with a high amount of oxygen and also high partial pressure some places in our body include our lungs and inside our haemoglobin. In here oxygen will try and fill up our red blood cells so that as much oxygen as possible can be carried around our body. After oxygen goes into our haemoglobin its known as oxyhaemaglobin and it goes to the working muscles that need oxygen and oxygen goes to the muscles where there is a lower partial pressure. And our oxyhaemaglobin gives up the oxygen it’s been carry to working muscles so that can be used,
Another effect that could cause a change to our oxygen dissociation curve is if our body temperature goes up then this will lead to the curve shifting to the right and if our body temperature decreases then this will lead to the curve shifting to the left. So if the curve shits to the right that means our haemoglobin transport oxygen and give it to the working muscles so that it used. If the curve shifts left then haemoglobin then transport co2 away from the muscles to the body as its a waste product.
If this never happened then our working muscles would easily become fatigue because it doesn’t have enough oxygen and it wouldn’t get rid of carbon dioxide and if it is removed from our body then this would mean our blood would become acidic and this would have an effect on our energy systems w...

...e myelin sheath helps making it faster by keeping it insulated and warm by covering it with fat. After this the nerve reaches the end of the nerve which is to synaptic knob this is the last part of the nearby after this the impulse goes to our muscles where we contract. If this never happens then we wouldn’t be able to move so quickly during steady state exercising we need the nerve impulses to be quick and to work effectively. Without it there would be a little chance that out muscles contracts at all then we wouldn’t be able to move all.
Energy Systems
Aerobic energy system is a type of energy system and we use it when we are exercising at a low intensity and this is when your body has finished using both our apt-pc system and lactic acid, therefore it lasts longer then both of them and it kicks off after lactic acid which about the 3 minutes into exercising.
In the beginning phases of muscle contraction, a “cocked” motor neuron in the spinal cord is activated to form a neuromuscular junction with each muscle fiber when it begins branching out to each cell. An action potential is passed down the nerve, releasing calcium, which simultaneously stimulates the release of acetylcholine onto the sarcolemma. As long as calcium and ATP are present, the contraction will continue. Acetylcholine then initiates the resting potential’s change under the motor end plate, stimulates the action potential, and passes along both directions on the surface of the muscle fiber. Sodium ions rush into the cell through the open channels to depolarize the sarcolemma. The depolarization spreads. The potassium channels open while the sodium channels close off, which repolarizes the entire cell. The action potential is dispersed throughout the cell through the transverse tubule, causing the sarcoplasmic reticulum to release
...st the sacrolemma will depolarized, thus activation potentials along the T-tubules. This signal will transmit from along the T-tubules to sarcroplasmic reticulum's terminal sacs. Next, sarcoplasmic reticulum will release the calcium into the sarcroplasm leading to the next second event called contraction. The released calcium ions will now bind to troponin. This will cause the inhibition of actin and mysoin interaction to be released. The crossbridge of myosin filaments that are attached to the actin filaments, thus causing tension to be exerted and the muscles will shorten by sliding filament mechanism. The last event is called Relaxation. After the sliding of the filament mechanism, the calcium will be slowly pumped back into the scaroplasmic reticulum. The crossbridges will detach from the filaments. The inhibition of the actin and myosin will go back to normal.
In this lab, we explored the theory of maximal oxygen consumption. “Maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) is defined as the highest rate at which oxygen can be taken up and utilized by the body during severe exercise” (Bassett and Howley, 2000). VO2max is measured in millimeters of O2 consumed per kilogram of body weight per min (ml/kg/min). It is commonly known as a good way to determine a subject’s cardio-respiratory endurance and aerobic fitness level. Two people whom are given the same aerobic task (can both be considered “fit”) however, the more fit individual can consume more oxygen to produce enough energy to sustain higher, intense work loads during exercise. The purpose of this lab experiment was performed to determine the VO2max results of a trained vs. an untrained participant to see who was more fit.

This will then affect proteins within the body, being known as enzymes, which can only function if their surrounding environment is in balance. Any alteration to this environment, will prevent the enzymes from functioning effectively.
Observing the charts below you will notice Dr. Burt continuously had a higher VO2/kg average. Men generally will have a higher VO2 max due to increased thoracic cavity size, thus allowing for more oxygen uptake. While being a male put Dr. Staniar at an advantage for a higher VO2 max, being above the age of 40 but him at a disadvantage. As we get older VO2 max will decrease because of a reduced maximum heart rate and stroke volume. While maintaining exercise and staying fit will not affect maximum heart rate it will alter stroke volume positively in some degree. The average VO2 max for men per year is 0.46 ml/kg/min and for women is 0.54 ml/kg/min. A true plateau is never seen in the graphs. This could be due to experimental error or neither participant truly never reaching maximal oxygen uptake due to experiencing discomfort
The Respiratory System 1. Define respiration. Respiration is the process of converting glucose to energy, which goes to every cell in the body. 2. Describe the organs of external respiration.
The circulatory system and respiratory system share a highly important relationship that is crucial to maintaining the life of an organism. In order for bodily processes to be performed, energy to be created, and homeostasis to be maintained, the exchange of oxygen from the external environment to the intracellular environment is performed by the relationship of these two systems. Starting at the heart, deoxygenated/carbon-dioxide (CO2)-rich blood is moved in through the superior and inferior vena cava into the right atrium, then into the right ventricle when the heart is relaxed. As the heart contracts, the deoxygenated blood is pumped through the pulmonary arteries to capillaries in the lungs. As the organism breathes and intakes oxygenated air, oxygen is exchanged with CO2 in the blood at the capillaries. As the organism breathes out, it expels the CO2 into the external environment. For the blood in the capillaries, it is then moved into pulmonary veins and make
The myelin sheath is a fatty substance that surrounds the axons of the nerves and provides protection. It allows messages to be sent rapidly and accurately to the axons from long distances (Serono, 2010). The axons are the part of the nervous system that allows electrical transmission of signals throughout the brain and spinal cord. Without these electrical transmissions, the body would not be able to function properly (Serono, 2010).
This data right here is showing that the hypothesis was incorrect because at the rest stage there was more carbon dioxide output being produced with an average of 7.56 (according to table 1.2) while at the recovery stage there was less carbon dioxide being produced with an average of 7.02 (according to table 1.3). Also, graph 1.1 and 1.2 shows the difference between the breathing rate, time, and carbon dioxide output (pH color) and an interesting point is that in the rest stage the carbon dioxide output (pH probe) are all clustered around one another while in the recovery stage the carbon dioxide output (pH probe) are little more separated. These are the reasons why the hypothesis was incorrect. Some other conclusions that can be made is that the more an individual exercise, the more energy is going to be needed for the body to function
This reduces the amount of current that would otherwise leak out of the axon and increases the distance that the current can flow passively. Myelination, aka axon insulation, increases action potential conduction up to 150m/s compared to 0.5-10m/s conduction velocities of unmyelinated axons! Speedy delivery of current information along axons is also due to the nodes of Ranvier. Nodes of Ranvier are gaps between insulated portions of the axon. The gaps create a place where the current can flow out of the axon so an action potential can be generated.
Aerobic exercise involves improving the cardiovascular system. It increases the efficiency with which the body is able to utilize oxygen (Dintiman, Stone, Pennington, & Davis, 1984). In other words, aerobic exercise means that continuous and large amounts of oxygen are needed to get in order to generate the amount of energy needed to complete the workout. The most common type of aerobic exercise is long-distance running, or jogging. While running, the body requires large amounts of energy in order for the body to sustain energy. “During prolonged exercise, most of the energy is aerobic, derived from the oxidation of carbohydrates and fats” (Getchell, 1976).
In similarity, Tim Meredith and Allister Vale (1988: 77) justify that “Carbon monoxide combines with haemoglobin to form carboxyhemoglobin, reducing the total capacity of the blood to carry oxygen and shifting the oxygen dissociation curve to the left.” Carboxyhemoglobin is a mixture of hemoglobin and CO that is later formed inside red blood cells. Hypoxia is formed within the blood cells causing it to deprive oxygen coming through the lungs. It reduces the amount of blood transportation for oxygen to flow normally. The oxygen dissociation curve is where blood receives and transfers oxygen. Once the curve is shifted, it distorts the transportation of both blood and oxygen flow. Furthermore, from Environmental Pollution (2008: 362) indicate, “It ranges from minor upper respiratory irritation to chronic respiratory and heart disease, lung cancer, acute respiratory infections in children and chronic bronchitis in adults...or asthmatic attacks.” This causes individuals to have difficulty in breathing, loss of consciousness, seizures, or death. Minor symptoms are the beginning signs to these serious health problems. Loss of consciousness leads to patients staying in a coma. CO poisoning in the lungs is life threatening and causes many health problems for the body to function
