, The ability of the cardiovascular and respiratory
Cardiorespiratory fitness systems to supply oxygen and nutrients to large
muscle groups to sustain dynamic activity
The body system responsible for the exchange of
Respiratory system
gases between the body and atmosphere
The body system responsible for the delivery of
oxygen and nutrients to body tissues (via blood within
Cardiovascular System
vessels) and the delivery of carbon dioxide and other
wastes back to the heart and lungs
Warm/humidify/filter air, promoting optimal gas
Air passageways
exchange (O2 in, CO2 out)
Facilitate movement of O2 → blood, and facilitates
Lungs
respiration (exchange of O2 and CO2)
4 chambers that pump blood through two different
Heart
circulatory systems
Blood: heart →Pulmonary artery → lungs →
Pulmonary circuit
Pulmonary vein → heart
Blood: heart → Aorta → rest of body → Vena Cava →
Systemic circuit
heart
- Transport blood throughout the body via arteries
and veins
Blood vessels
- O2/CO2 exchange in capillaries
2 phases of cardiac cycle Systole and Diastole
- top number in blood pressure
- Ventricles contract/eject blood
Systole
- Peak force on vessel wall
- Semilunar valves open
- bottom number in blood pressure
Diastole - ventricles relax/blood fills chambers
- Semilunar valves close, AV valves open
