Oxygen is a part of everyday life. Soccer players and football players constantly argue about which team works the hardest. In this case, this experiment will help to evaluate which team has better breathing habits while running. Blood oxygen concentration involves your blood receiving oxygen during exercise. Every breath you take affects your blood oxygen concentration.…
M1 outline the adaptations to cardiovascular, respiratory, musculoskeletal and energy systems, brought about by regular exercise Cardiovascular System The cardiovascular system consists of the blood vessels and the heart. They function is to circulate the blood around the body to all the muscles. The red blood cells carry oxygen to all the muscles through the vein (carries blood to the heart). The veins have thin walls and contain blood under the low pressure.…
Mammals inhale oxygen though their mouth as part of ventilation and exhales carbon dioxide. The air travels down the trachea before it branches off into the two bronchi. Branching off the bronchi are the bronchioles that transport the air to the alveoli where gas exchange takes place. The alveoli are air sacs.…
Introduction Rapid sequence induction (RSI) is the administration of an anesthesia induction agent followed immediately by a paralytic agent prior to insertion of an endotracheal airway (Reynolds & Heffner, 2005). Oxygen desaturation is considered one of the most frequently occurring complications of endotracheal intubation (ETI) after administration of RSI agents. Following administration of a paralytic agent, there is a period of apnea while the provider utilizes a laryngoscope in an attempt to pass an endotracheal tube through the trachea. It is during this period of time that oxygen saturation levels rapidly decline. The current standard of practice includes pre-oxygenation by use of a non-rebreather mask (NRB) at 15 liters per minute (L/min),…
How is the function of transport of materials achieved by these systems? I) Transport of substances at gross level (via big blood vessels) and exchange of substances at the capillary level…
Then, the right atrium then the right ventricle and leaves through the pulmonary arteries to the lungs. Oxygenated blood enters into the pulmonary veins from the lungs and enters the left atrium and the left ventricle then it leaves through the aorta then travels to the rest of the body. In the heart beat there is sinoatrial nodes, atrioventricular nodes, bundles of his, and perkinje fibers. Sinoatrial nodes are a small muscle in the heart that produces some kind of signal. Atrioventricular nodes act as a relay station that controls the heart rate.…
Our carbon dioxide is now red blood cell free and on its way out of the body! In the alveoli, we have to push through the bronchiole tree again. First we float through the terminal bronchioles, then the tertiary bronchiole, through the secondary bronchi, and finally past the primary bronchi. We move through the…
By increasing space in the thoracic cavity, this causes a decrease in pressure therefore allowing air to rush into the lungs. The trachea divides into smaller airways called bronchi. As bronchi divide farther…
Identify or trace the path of a red blood cell through all anatomical/structural areas of the heart. The path of a RBC consist of it first beginning in the heart as the RBC transports oxygen into the aorta by the aortic valve through contracting of the left ventricle. From the aorta, the RBC then travels through an artery with the help of arterioles to reach the capillaries. When in the capillary, the oxygen molecule that is carried by the RBC then detaches and travels through the capillary into the tissues of the body.…
When the right atrium contract the blood flows through the tricuspid valve and into the right ventricle. When the right ventricle contracts the blood passes the pulmonary semilunar valve, into the pulmonary artery, and the blood is going to the lungs. The blood goes through a process in the lungs and the blood become oxygenated. The oxygenated blood is returned to the heart from the pulmonary vein and goes into the left atrium. When that atrium contracts the blood asses the mitral (bicuspid) valve and goes to the left ventricle.…
The effect of different breathing patterns on alveolar gas compositions. Introduction Ventilation is the process where the exchange of oxygen (O2) from the air into the lungs and carbon dioxide (CO2) from the blood into the external environment (Silverthorn, 2013). Respiration is essential for all living organisms to survive. Breathing is part of physiological respiration and is required to sustain life. Our lungs are composed of small sacs called alveoli which facilitate the movement of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the tissue and blood stream.…
Once filled, the right atrium contracts and pumps its contents into the right ventricle through the tricuspid valve. Once the right atrium is drained completely, the tricuspid valve will close to prevent blood from flowing back into the right atrium. Next, the right ventricle contracts, causing the pulmonary valve to open and forcing blood into the pulmonary artery. Once the blood is emptied, the pulmonary valve will close to prevent backflow. The deoxygenated blood will travel to the lungs through the pulmonary artery to pick up oxygen and release carbon…
Chronic Bronchitis Have you ever tried to breathe through a straw? Imagine living your entire life breathing through a straw. Individuals with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, or COPD live that on a daily basis. COPD is a progressive disease that gets worse over time, effecting the lungs of the patients suffering from it making very difficult to breathe. Smoking is the leading cause in patients who have COPD however, an exposure over a long period of time to lung irritants has been known to cause this disease.…
The Cardiovascular System: An Overview of Blood, Vessels, and Heart – Healthy to Diseased The cardiovascular system, also known as the circulatory system, consists of the heart, blood, and blood vessels (Mertz, 2004). The cardiovascular system moves oxygenated blood and nutrients through to and removes carbon dioxide and wastes out of the body’s cells. (Miracle of the Human Body, 2010) I will provide an overview how a healthy cardiovascular system does this by first discussing the anatomy of it, in a healthy state, and then the physiology of it, also in a healthy state, this will include how the pulmonary and systemic circuits work.…
It enters the lungs where it meets the pulmonary circuit to become oxygenated…
