...For this assignment I will be describing the musculoskeletal and energy systems and their responses to acute exercise. I will also be describing the cardiovascular and respiratory systems to the acute exercise. I will be explaining the response of the musculoskeletal, cardiovascular and respiratory systems due to acute exercise. P1 The musculoskeletal system is a system which makes sure it provides, support, its form, stability and movement to the body. It’s made up of the bones which are in the skeleton and other connected tissues that supports and joins the organs together. The response to the acute exercise for the musculoskeletal system enables the body to move through a system of muscles, bones, tendons, cartilage and the ligaments. The different parts of the system are operated by the nervous system. So this is the main control area in the brain, this would create the voluntary muscles movements such as kicking a ball. Your body will move through different and individual muscle contractions. Most muscles have an insertion in a bone this is when the muscle is contracted; the bone is pulled to the contracted muscle. In the skeletal system it provides the main structure for the body, whereas the muscular system will enable movements, this will help maintain the posture of the body....

...P7 describe the three different energy systems and their use in sport activities ATP full name is adenosine triphosphate. It is found in cells and is a type of energy source. Your body’s cells have energy in which is ATP and most of the things that you do are powered by this, for example, such as muscle contraction, protein construction, and transportation of substrates, communication with other cells, activating heat control mechanisms, and dismantling damaged and unused structures. The alactic system uses ATP as the source of energy from the body. The alactic energy system does not need oxygen to function. This energy system is used for physical activity that includes strength, power and speed. For example deadlift and high jump. The alactic I system can give huge bursts of power in very short periods of time. However it only work for twenty seconds or so until the anaerobic lactic and aerobic energy systems take over and start to work. The one hundred metres is a good example because this type of physical activity needs short and fast bursts or energy....

...Creatine phosphate energy system- Adenosine triphosphate and creatine phosphate make up the ATP-CP energy system. ATP Adenosine triphosphate is made of one adenosine molecule and three phosphate molecules. Energy is stored in the chemical bonds in the molecules and when this is broken down energy is then released. In this process one of the phosphate atoms is no longer in the chemical bond. This forms adenosine diphosphate which is made of one adenosine molecule and two phosphate molecules. When ATP is broken down it gives energy for a muscle contraction too occur; it is the only molecule that can do this. This all happens in the muscle cells. CP This is a high a high energy compound, when the exercise levels are high creatine phosphate (which...

...P4- Explain the physiology of two named body systems in relation to energy metabolism in the body In this assignment I will be explain the physiology of two named body system in relation to energy metabolism in the body. The system that I have chosen is the respiratory system and the digestive system. The respiratory system is where the exchange of gases in the body this is where the oxygen enters into the blood. The lung is the main organ which the lungs intakes oxygen into the body and the carbon dioxide is exported out. The respiration system is made up of many organs which help us to breathe properly. The digestive system is where the organs inside the body break down the food and convert it to energy and nutrients that are needed in the body. The stomach is a tube shaped which has all the food and liquid that we have ate and it makes around the body and it is a mainly long twisted tube that starts from the mouth and comes all the way down to the anus and into few organs such as the pancreas and the liver which stores any chemicals accessible. The metabolic rate...

...3 energy systems: Lactic Acid System– also known as the Glycolytic System, is a system which supplies energy for intense activities or exercises which would normally last for a short period of time such as a 100m sprint race so an appropriate athlete would be Usain Bolt. Some long distance runners would need to use this system slightly at the end of a race when the athlete is at a sprint finish such as Mo Farah. This system uses anaerobic respiration which has the equation; glucose → lactic acid + energy released. This is when your muscles need to create energy quickly, so in order for this to happen, glucose is broke down to for lactic acid and the release of energy. A lot of ATP is produced at a fast rate. Aerobic System – This is the long duration energy system. The aerobic system produces a lot more ATP than either of the other energy systems however it produces the ATP much more slowly which is why the aerobic system helps in long distance races (such as the 10,000m) as the energy is produced at a slow constant rate. Rowers would also use this system because they would not want all their energy used up at once because their body needs to consistently perform in order to last the whole race. Phosphocreatine System – this is also known as the Phosphagen system. This releases energy at a high rate. The CP...

...Chapter 2 ENERGY CONVERSION AND GENERAL ENERGY ANALYSIS W hether we realize it or not, energy is an important part of most aspects of daily life. The quality of life, and even its sustenance, depends on the availability of energy. Therefore, it is important to have a good understanding of the sources of energy, the conversion of energy from one form to another, and the ramifications of these conversions. Energy exists in numerous forms such as thermal, mechanical, electric, chemical, and nuclear. Even mass can be considered a form of energy. Energy can be transferred to or from a closed system (a fixed mass) in two distinct forms: heat and work. For control volumes, energy can also be transferred by mass flow. An energy transfer to or from a closed system is heat if it is caused by a temperature difference. Otherwise it is work, and it is caused by a force acting through a distance. We start this chapter with a discussion of various forms of energy and energy transfer by heat. We then introduce various forms of work and discuss energy transfer by work. We continue with developing a general intuitive expression for the first law of thermodynamics, also known as the conservation of energy principle, which is one of the most fundamental principles in nature, and we then demonstrate its use. Finally, we discuss the efficiencies of some familiar energy conversion processes, and examine the impact on energy conversion on the environment. Detailed treatments...
