|
Made up of:
Lung structure Breathing mechanism Short and long term effects of exercise |
|
Parts of Respiratory System
|
Nasal passages
Larynx Trachea Bronchi Bronchioles Alveoli Intercostal muscles Diaphragm Ribs |
|
Nasal passages
|
Air enters the body through nasal passages.
|
|
Larynx
|
Air passing over the larynx produces sound for speaking.
|
|
Trachea
|
Air passes down trachea to lungs.
Flexible tube, stiffened by rings of cartilage. |
|
Bronchi
|
The trachea splits into two bronchi, carrying air to each lung.
|
|
Bronchioles
|
The bronchi split into smaller tubes called bronchioles that distrubute air to the alveoli.
|
|
Alveoli
|
Tiny air sacs where gaseous exchange takes place.
|
|
Intercostal muscles
|
The muscles between your ribs that help the chest to expand when breathing in.
|
|
Ribs
|
Protect the lungs.
Allows chest to expand / contract when breathing. |
|
Diaphragm
|
Sheet of muscle under lungs that contracts and moves down to expand the chest during inspiration.
|
|
Inspiration
|
Intercostal muscles contract
Rib cage moves up and out Diaphragm contracts Chest cavity increases Pressure in lungs decreases |
|
Expiration
|
Intercostal muscles relax
Rib cage returns to normal Diaphragm relaxes Chest cavity decreases Pressure in lungs increases |
|
Gaseous exchange
|
Happens in alveoli
Inhaled oxygen diffuses from alevoli into blood in capillary. Carbon dioxide diffuses out of the blood, into alevoli and is exhaled. |
|
Short term effects of exercise on respiratory system
|
Increased breathing rate
Increased depth of breathing Oxygen debt Muscle cells use more oxygen Muscle cells produce more carbon dioxide Tidal volume increases Waste water released from the body as sweat |
|
Long term effects of exercise on respiratory system
|
Respiratory muscles stronger
- diaphragm / intercostal muscles Increased lung capacity Increased vital capacity More capillaries around alveoli therefore more gaseous exhange |
|
Aerobic respiration
|
Glucose + oxygen = carbon dioxide + water + energy
|
|
Anaerobic respiration
|
Glucose = carbon dioxide + water + energy + lactic acid
|
|
Oxygen debt
|
The amount of oxygen consumed during recovery above normal amounts at rest.
|
|
Lung capacity
|
Total volume of your lungs
= Vital capacity + Residual Volume |
|
Vital capacity
|
The maximum volume of air you can breathe out after breathing in as much as you can.
|
|
Residual volume
|
The amount of air left in the lungs after maximal exhalation.
|
|

|
Amount of air breathed in or out during normal breathing.
|
|

|
Effects of smoking on the respiratory system

7 Components of Diet
|
Carbohydrates
Proteins Fats Vitamins Minerals Fibre Water |
|
Protein
|
Make up 15% of calories.
Helps us grow and repair muscle. E.g. eggs, meat, cheese |
|
Fats
|
Fats make up 30% of calories
Fats provide energy and keep us warm, however if our body receives a large amount of fat there is a risk of heart disease and obesity. E.g. oil, butter |
|
Vitamins
|
Regulate chemical reactions in the body, and helps release energy from food.
Vitamin A =BONES, TEETH & SKIN Vitamin C = SKIN Vitamin D = BONES |
|
Minerals (calcium and iron)
|
Provides structure in forming teeth and bones.
|
|
Water
|
This is needed to hydrate the body.
Water is lost in your breath, sweat & urine |
|
Fibre
|
Fibre is NOT a nutrient.
Helps your digestive system E.g. Fruit, vegetables and whole-grain foods. |
|
Carbohydrates… 2 types
|
Complex
Slow release energy Sugars which are good for us Simplistic Fast release energy Lots of sugar Carbohydrates contain the fuels that provide us with energy to sustain our performance |
|
Males between 15 and 18 need how calories a day?
Females between 15 and 18 need how many calories a day? |
2750 calories a day.
2100 calories a day. |
|
Blood shunting
|
During exercise more oxygen and blood gets delivered to the working muscles.
Therefore, LESS blood and oxygen is delivered to the digestive system. Distribution of blood changes to the demand. For example: High intensity = more blood Important to time food intake prior to event, so energy from food can be released and delivered to the working muscles. |
