Blood Supply P2

Improved Essays
Increased blood supply
An increase our blood supply which is when our muscles contract that cause an increase in temperature and metabolic activity (chemical reactions).
As a result when our muscles contract there is a greater need for oxygen which is met by capillary dilation.
For example
The rugby players when they are warming up their bodies will start to do this, when the body gets warm the blood will flow faster.

Muscle fibre micro tears
During exercise, our muscles are put under stress which causes tiny tears in our muscle fibres, which also cause swelling in our muscle tissue. Improvement can be made if the body have sufficient fuel to repair these micro tears, which also make the slightly stronger than before.
For example
A Boxer

CARDIOVASCULAR
HEART RATE ANTICIPATORY RESPONSE: There are nerves which directly supply our heart and also chemicals which our blood rapidly alter our heart rate, this main reasons nutrients and also extra oxygen to the working muscles before a race. When the body start to anticipate the physical exercise which is about to happen the body will prepare for it by increasing the heart rate slightly. ACTIVITY RESPONSE:
The start of exercise, there are nerve centres in our brain which become aware of the cardiovascular activity. This results in adjustments which start the cardiovascular system to help increase our heart rate and also the local blood flow is improved to the right proportion to the intensity of activity.

INCREASED BLOOD PRESSURE:
Our blood pressure is the pressure of the blood against the walls of our arteries and there also result which in two forces. This is created is our heart pumping blood into our arteries and around our body.

VASODILATION&VASOCONSTRICTION:
During exercise you muscles will need more oxygen which carried in your blood stream. There will be more oxygen to be in use so vasodilation and vasoconstriction will have to

When they are chosen by the chemoreceptors a message has been sent to the medulla, from the medulla, an impulse is to send the respiratory muscles reporting them to work harder than before to remove the waste products from our body.
INCREASED TIDAL VOLUME:
The tidal volume is the amount of air breathed in and out in one breath, the air that passes through the lungs each minute is known as the minute volume, this Increases to allow more air to pass through.

P3 Describe the long-term effects of exercise on the musculoskeletal system and energy systems.
MUSCULAR SYSTEM
HYPERTROPHY:
Hypertrophy occurs where muscle cells grow and also this can be happen after training, for example, weight training and also through using resistance machines. The advantage of hypertrophy, (your muscles getting bigger) is it gives you an advantage as you have better strength.
For example
Football players they need to have larger muscles which will help them larger chance of hitting a more powerful shot that will make it difficult for the goalkeeper to

    There are two catabolic hormones that I will analyze and they are cortisol and epinephrine. Cortisol levels are quite interesting over the course of exercise. In a study conducted by Institute of Exercise Biology found that there was an initial increase in cortisol levels during the first twenty to thirty minutes of exercise. After this increase there was a decrease observed, and this decrease can fall below pre-exercise levels of cortisol. Then a second increase of cortisol in the blood can be observed during the second hour of exercise…

    A major symptom of heart disease is exercise intolerance, which is thought to be caused by overactivation of the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) via limb edema stimulating group III/IV afferent feedback mechanisms (Figure 1) (7, 8 & 9). Accurately replicating the afferent feedback during exercise is difficult in both healthy and diseased subjects, due to an inability to directly measure afferents in human subjects. Thus most information about the response of afferents comes from post-exercise limb occlusion studies (2). There has been some indication that using a lower sub-systolic pressure cuff during exercise can more accurately represent the ventilatory response (4 & 6).…

    Muscle Fatigue Analysis

    Fatigued muscles contract weaker than rested muscles (Saladin, 2012). This is especially evident when maximum isometric force is measured in repeated tetani and reveals the there is an improved decline that is obvious even on the second tetanus of the series (Allen, Lamb, & Westerblad, 2008). Other parts of muscle performance are altered during fatigue. One such example is the shortening velocity reduction and the time course of slowed relaxation. Almost every activity that humans participate in depends on the power output of the muscles involved and, since power output is the result of both force and shortening velocity, the decrease in performance can be bigger than the decrease in isometric force (Allen, Lamb, & Westerblad, 2008). The decrease in performance is not evident right away during submaximal activity but eventually as fatigue manifests it will cause a person to be unable to be able to continue an activity at the original intensity. This occurrence is commonly known as…

    Examples of endurance training are long-distance running, biking, and swimming and examples of strength training are weightlifting, wrestling, and sports like football. Different characteristics can be seen between endurance athletes and strength-trained athletes. Endurance training is associated with volume overload of the heart, whereas strength training is pressure overload. Endurance athletes need a large volume of oxygenated blood pumped to the rest of the body while they perform. Endurance athletes increase cardiac output with reduced peripheral vascular resistance, resulting in continuous volume changes for all cardiac chambers. Chamber dilated due to the volume overload so the heart can take in more blood. Strength training normal or slightly increase cardiac output, increased vascular resistance which results in increased blood pressure and LV afterload. The pressure overload causes the heart walls to increase in size to make the heart a stronger, more efficient heart during…

    To perform the experiment successfully, the subject must have not eaten heavily or have done strenuous exercise before the conduction of this experiment. For the first part of this lab, we measured basal metabolic rate (BMR) by having the subject breathes in and out the clean mouthpiece for 6 minutes and rest for 5 minutes. The subject was fitted with a nose clip, heart rate monitor, wrist monitor, and blood pressure cuff to measure heart rate and blood pressure at rest. Afterward, in the Bicycle Ergometer experiment, we measured these parameters again every 30 seconds while the subject pedaled at their light resistance and moderate resistance. We used those measurements to calculate the stroke volume, cardiac output, and total peripheral resistance. Lastly, the treadmill experiment, the subject was affixed with a heart rate monitor and mouthpiece while performing the experiment. The parameters include heart rate, % O2,…

    Muscle Vs Exercise

    Over the course of the last 100 years, the lifestyles of humans have seen drastic changes. This has ultimately led to less exercise as everything has become much easier to obtain, especially things like food. All of this has led to the majority of our population becoming obese while also causing our muscles to become less productive. It is common knowledge that the more you use your muscles, the stronger they become. It also works the other way around. The less you use your muscles, the weaker they become. Muscle fibers will adapt to the type of exercise that you put them through, aerobic or anaerobic. When muscles are used, they are getting stronger. Because of this, it is my hypothesis that skeletal muscle fibers will adapt and become stronger…

    Introduction: A cardiac output, also know as minute volume is the volume of blood ejected from the left or right ventricle of the heart in one minute. It’s the primary determinant of oxygen transport within the heart and entire body. Sufficient blood flow is highly important especially during exercise because the body will need much more oxygen. With the need for more oxygen, the heart will begin to beat and pump faster during exercise. As the heart rate increases so will the blood flow, also known as hyperemia. Energy and oxygen is carried out to the brain and muscles through the blood stream which is vital to have before, during, and after exercise. Blood flows through two circuits in the body, the systematic and pulmonary circuits. The…
