Name: Amy Meagher Student ID: 12148725 Date: 19/02/16 Lab 3: The Effect of Exercise on the Human Cardiovascular System Introduction: During exercise there is an increased demand for energy. The metabolic processes involved in the production of ATP require oxygen. As a result there is an increase in oxygen consumption and an increase in the production of carbon dioxide as a waste product. As the body produces more carbon dioxide there is a greater need to expel this excess carbon dioxide

lymphatic system is part of the circulatory system and plays three major roles which may include the removal of excess fluids including red blood cells from the body, absorption of fatty acids as well as helping to transfer fatty substances and chyle to the circulatory system. And, it helps in the production of lymphocytes, monocytes, and antibody producing cells which help to strengthen our immune system against any invaders that make us sick. Like the cardiovascular system, the lymphatic system is made

The Mammalian Circulatory and Gas Exchange Systems Radwa Abdallah Professor Yan Xu Fundamentals of Biology II Lab February 20, 2014 Objectives The objectives of the Circulatory System laboratory experiment included observing and learning to identify the structural characteristics, mostly arteries and veins, in the chest cavity of the fetal pig, which would further the understanding of the heart and lungs in most other mammals; another objective was to understand blood pressure and heart

function of the 11 systems within the human body. It will detail the interrelationship between the nervous system and the musculoskeletal system and between the circulatory system and the lymphatic system. It will then explain the roles of the circulatory and lymphatic systems in the immune response and the role of hormones in metabolism. Human Body Systems The human body is made up of 11 separate but interconnected systems (Sherwood, 2007). These are the skeletal, muscular, circulatory, respiratory

All the systems in the human body are vital to our survival and well-being. If you take away the functions of just one of these systems our whole body will cease to work properly. The main systems of the human body are the nervous, endocrine respiratory, circulatory, immune, digestive, excretory, skeletal, muscular, and the reproductive systems. They all work together in harmony and unison to keep us alive. The nervous and endocrine systems are what control most of the body. The nervous

UNIT 05 LO2- P4 Explain the physiology of two names body systems in relation to energy metabolism in the body. Our body requires energy so the body functions. This energy mainly comes from carbohydrates and fats that we take as food. Carbohydrates are decayed into glucose, glucose is soluble in blood. It is transported by the blood cells to various parts of the body where it reacts with oxygen in a series of steps producing carbon dioxide (CO2), water (H2O) and energy. The burning of food in the

body systems which is made up of cells, tissues, and organs. Human anatomy is important to study to help explain how organs and other structures of the body work. There are eleven systems in the human body that i will discuss. Each system depends on the other to keep the body functioning.The systems of the body are the integumentary,circulatory, immune, skeletal, excretory, muscular, endocrine, digestive, nervous,reproductive and respiratory. It is important to understand how human body systems work

affected by exercise was the circulatory system. It was the circulatory system because it was the system that increased the most after exercise. I think this is the case because it had to work the most and it had the most effect on the body. Q 2) Which human body system's activity was least affected by exercise? Explain why you think this is the case. A 2) The human body system's activity that was least affected by exercise was the muscular system. It was the muscular system because it only increased

Muscle cells in our legs need energy, we need food to get energy. To get energy to our muscle cells the food must first go through the digestive system. First, we chew food in our mouth, in our mouth there's saliva that has chemicals that break down carbs into sugar. This is an example of chemical digestion. This chemical is made in the salivary glands. Our esophagus is a long tobe connecting the mouth to the stomach. Peristalsis is a process where strong muscles push food down, gravity doesn’t push
