The job of the lungs is to bring in oxygen and then oxygenate the blood, but COPD disrupts this. As less fresh air enters the lungs, the less oxygen someone will get to oxygenate their blood which can lead to hypoxia. The likelihood for a heart attack increases as the heart receives less oxygen. Pulmonary hypertension can also occur as COPD progresses. This can be caused by the pulmonary arteries constricting due to hypoxia, dysfunction in the endothelial tissue, and the pulmonary capillary bed

name: Miss Bull Name: Fatimah Al_Asadi Teacher name: Miss Bull Aim and purpose This unit aims to enable learners to understand aspects of the anatomy and physiology of human body systems. Learners will be able to gain an overview of the organisation of the human body before looking at how body systems work together to provide energy for the body. Learners will have the opportunity to investigate how homeostatic mechanisms operate in the body. Unit introduction This unit introduces

u03a1 Heart and Lungs Dr. Henry Zeidan 10/30/12 Todd Jones The heart is a hard working muscle responsible for pumping blood throughout blood vessel via continuous rhythmic contractions. It exists in all living things having a circulatory system (Maton, 1993). Function of the Heart The right ventricle The right ventricle is the pumping chamber of the pulmonary circuit. The mechanism of the right ventricle is that, deoxygenated blood flows to the right atrium from veins that are in the body

in the universe is always the same. It is simply being transformed and transferred over and over again. An importance of this law is that energy can only be transformed from one state to another. The only thing that can happen to energy in a closed system is that it can change, for example instance chemical energy can become kinetic energy. Energy in the body: Many people believe that energy in only used within muscular activity and

Whatever we are doing, at any time whether it is resting, walking around or sleeping, our body and the complicated systems within it are constantly working to keep us alive. In order to maintain a healthy heart and circulatory system it is important to exercise, but what demands does exercise have on the body? In order to investigate some of the effects

1. What are the long term effects of exercise on… a) the cardiovascular system b) the respiratory system c) the muscular system d) the skeletal system a. The long-term effects of exercise on the cardiovascular system are the heart becomes bigger and its walls become thicker and the coronary arteries become better at supplying the heart with blood. It will be able to pump more blood per min which makes the heart more capable of a higher heart rate, stroke volume and minute
