This study will cover the equine cardiovascular and the musculoskeletal systems in the equine. In which shall be included a discussion on the effects of each system during different levels of exercise. Cardiovascular system The equine cardiovascular system is designed in a particular way, to ensure optimal transport of oxygen from the upper respiratory tract to the rest of the organs and body tissues and to maintain a regular blood pressure (Evans & Rose, 1988) Marlin and Nankervis, in 2002, stated

Task 3: Discuss the role of energy in the body: Energy can be found in different forms, ways that energy can be found in is through light, kinetic, thermal (heat), sound and chemical. These types of energy are categorised into two which are potential and kinetic energy. Chemical energy is energy that is stored in between the bonds of the atoms and the molecules. They are in between the molecules. Energy comes into our body from all the fats, carbohydrates and proteins that we all consume in

“Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the number one group of conditions causing death globally. An estimated 17.5 million people died from CVDs in 2005, representing 30% of all global deaths. Over 80% of CVD deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries” (Shah, 2014). What is cardiovascular disease? A group of disorders of the heart and blood vessels, including coronary heart disease (CAD), cerebrovascular disease (stroke), raised blood pressure (hypertension), peripheral artery disease, rheumatic

receptor is found within the cardiovascular system in a variety of areas which is distributed which includes endothelial cells, cardiomyocytes, and smooth muscle cells. The function of erythropoietin is to control/maintain the volume of the formation of red blood cells. The erythropoietin has an effect on the respiratory system due to the function of maintaining red blood cell production, if more red blood cells are being produced this would result in the respiratory system having to obtain a higher

Anatomy and Physiology Cell Organelles There are 50 trillion (50 million million) cells in the human body; they carry out chemical reactions essential to life, for example Blood cells. Nucleus The nucleus is the largest structure in any human cell, it contains gasps or pores, which allow protein and nucleic acid, pass through. It is the central part of the cell and it’s usually a lot darker than the rest of the cell because it absorbs stain quickly and stores the entire DNA (Deoxyribonucleic

machinery. It is made up of many different systems that work together to allow us to take part in a wide range of sports and everyday activities. It is important that anyone working with clients in the sport and exercise industry has a good understanding of how each of these systems works and copes with the stresses of exercise. This unit will explore the structure and the functions of the skeletal, muscular, cardiovascular and respiratory systems and how each of them is affected by exercise

Describe the gross structure and main functions of all major body systems (P5) Reproductive systems Male (Harvard-wm.org, 2014) The male reproductive system is made up of the scrotum, testes, epididymis, spermatic cords, vas deferens, seminal vesicles, ejaculatory duct, urethra, prostate, cowper glands, the penis and the semen. The scrotum is a sac like structure in which the testes are located, it is found in the pubic region and its job is to regulate the temperature of sperm by
