Long term effects of Cardiovascular & Respiratory System

Long term effects of Cardiovascular & Respiratory System & Muscular-Skeletal System

Cardiovascular System

During exercise the cardiovascular systems is called upon to assist the body in many ways, they assist by delivering oxygen to the hard working muscles,blood is then returned to the lungs to be re-oxygenated. 

Another long term effect of the cardiovascular system is the decrease in your resting heart rate it decreases because during the period of time the body adjusts to the exercise sedentary periods become much more easier for the heart to handle making it easier to pump more blood. 

When resting the stroke volume also tends to increase due to the training of the heart being able to pump a large quantity of blood with every beat through out the body.

Circulation also improves due to the demand of more oxygen during the period of exercise, the number of capillaries increase also existing capillaries open up wider. 

The heart also gets bigger and stronger during the period of time this is needed to support the level of blood your heart pumps out with less stress, also making it easier for your muscles to work with out stress as well.   

Respiratory System

The Respiratory System controls the breathing within the body it begins when you draw in air through your nose and mouth. air travels through your wind pipes into both of your lungs giving the lungs a sufficient amount of air to breath in and out.

The diaphragm is the muscle in the body the controls the  respiration contracts when you inhale, when the diaphragm relaxes your chest is forced to release carbon dioxide when you breath in.

During exercise your lungs will start to become exposed to a stronger rush of airflow aerobic exercises in particular expose your lungs to the stronger rush of airflow, aerobic exercise can help clear mucus with in your lungs, mucus build up with in your lungs can decrease the performance of your lungs causing bacterial infections.

During intense exercises the diaphragm becomes much stronger over a period of time making it's self capable of storing a larger amount of air.

Long term effects during long terms your body will begin to adapt to long term exercises by increasing its number of capillaries, capillaries are tiny blood vessels that pass down blood from the arteries into the veins the increase in capillaries in beneficial because when the body will begin to under go a demand of blood the more capillaries there are the more blood different parts of the body will receive.

Long Term Effects Of The Muscular-skeletal System 

- Muscular  Hypertrophy 

Muscle hypertrophy occurs through high chronic Anerobic training at a high intensity such as lifting weights.

Over a long period of weeks (3 - 5) your muscles increase size muscular hypertrophy occurs during the third week of training resistance training sessions it also helps in the increase of muscle size also making them more efficient.

Muscle tone is also beneficial because it makes you stronger over the period of time you've been training, the increase in strength is better because during training sessions you will start to find daily work outs much more easier.

Another long term effect is that muscles become capable to store larger amounts of glycogen for energy, glycogen is a substance stored in the body for later usage when it is needed, glycogen provides extra energy for the body when it is most needed.

  

  

Cardiovascular System

Cardiovascular System

The heart uses four valves to ensure that the blood flows in only one direction, healthy valves close and open in coordination of the action of your hearts atria and ventricles.

The vascular system can redistribute blood to parts of your body that are in immediate demand of blood and it can also avoid parts of the body that are not in that much demand of blood. 

During my investigation of my heart and my breathing rate, I measured my resting heart rate which was 68 as well as my resting breathing rate which was 28 after that we then went on to play some sports for a couple of minutes to see what would happen after I moved my body around a lot I took my heart rate measurements again but this time I 80 and my breathing rate was 34.

My measurements for my heart rate increased because my body was under constant movement and my body was in demand of more oxygen also my breathing rate increased because my muscles where performing heavy work, when receptors in the brain stem become aware of this they will send signals to the lungs and associated muscles to increase the rate of breathing.

During the exercise our blood pressures increased because of the demand of blood in the muscles without the right amount of blood in the body or the muscles they may seize to function properly.

Cardiovascular System

The Short Term Effects On The Cardiovascular System

In today's lesson we looked at the short term effects of the Cardiovascular system and how the changes effected your body also how it made you feel after the chosen exercise you did, we also looked at the effects it had on your heart. 

Short Term Effects : 

- One of the short term effects of the Cardiovascular system is the increase of your heart rate during exercise also the increase of heart rate before exercise, this increase is normal it caused by a physiological response from the body, this increase is caused due to the demand of body wanting more oxygen and carbon dioxide and the around the body also wanting to remove carbon dioxide.

- Another one is the amount of blood pumped around the body increases, due to the cause of so much movement of the body during strenuous exercise.

- Oxygenated blood gets pumped around the body during, exercise quickly and carbon dioxide-rich blood gets pumped back into your lungs for exhalation .

- Cardiac Output, the amount of blood the heart pumps out in a minute, during exercise cardiac out put increases depending on the exercise also due to an increase in your heart rate.

- The respiratory System controls the breathing within the body it begins when you draw in air through your nose and mouth. air travels through your wind pipes into both of your lungs giving the lungs a sufficient amount of air to breath in and out.

- During exercise your lungs will start to become exposed to a stronger rush of airflow aerobic exercises in particular expose your lungs to the stronger rush of airflow, aerobic exercise can help clear mucus with in your lungs, mucus build up with in your lungs can decrease the performance of your lungs causing bacterial infections.

Musculoskeletal System

Musculoskeletal Short Term Effects of the Muscular System.

Body temperature increases due to the flow of blood inside the body.vessels come to the surface and are more visible in order to cool down you often see the face go red.

Micro tears may start to occur after exercise causing you to experience quite a bit of soreness for quite some time.

One of the most obvious short term effects of the Musculoskeletal system is the increase in muscle tone and efficiency over a short period of time you will see the decrease in the body's fat storage but during some exercise the body may rely on it's fat stores depending on the exercise.

Breathing is also a short term effect as breathing becomes harder as you exercise due to the fact the body cannot distribute that much oxygen in that amount of time. 

During exercise your muscles will be in demand of more energy requiring glucose and oxygen to provide this energy glucose is a major source of energy for the body's cells, glucose in the muscular system create lactic acid with that lactic acid providing the body with more energy meaning the body tires quicker. 

When the muscles get warmer they become much more flexible and are able to stretch more this is because pliability with in the muscles increase meaning the body performs at a better level than usual.
