Consuming tobacco furthermore damages the lungs and its capacity. (say how it damages lung capacity and what effects it has on the human, when the lung capacity is damaged.) With this experiment I want to investigate how smoking affects the fitness

Alterations in Blood Flow Circulatory System: * Primary function: transport of oxygen and nutrient and removal of metabolic waste products * Requires complex circuitry of vessels powered by heart General Mechanisms That Alter Flow: * Flow reduction in systemic circuit creates ischemia, leading to hypoxia * Flow reduction in venous system alters waste removal and increases systemic pressure * Venous engorgement or venous obstruction * Flow reduction in lymphatic system

To Determine the Effect of an Exercise Regime on Heart Rate and Recovery Time Introduction The events of the cardiac cycle are initiated and controlled by electrical signals generated by two nodes in the heart (Boyle and Senior, 2008). Nodes are specialised tissues strategically placed in the heart that act as nervous and muscle tissue. When nodal tissue contracts, it generates nerve impulses that travel throughout the heart wall (About.com, n.d.). Figure 1 – Cardiac Conduction Yellow Arrows/Aspects
