CIRCULATORY SYSTEM. The cardiovascular, or circulatory, system in humans is composed of the heart and the blood. vessels--arteries, veins, and capillaries. Its purpose is to provide nutrients and oxygen to the tissues and to remove wastes from them. It is also where the body fights infections.
The respiratory quotient (or RQ or respiratory coefficient), is a dimensionless number used in calculations of basal metabolic rate (BMR) when estimated from carbon dioxide production.Such measurements, like measurements of oxygen uptake, are forms of indirect calorimetry.It is measured using Ganong's Respirometer.Q as measured includes a contribution from the energy produced from protein. However, due to the complexity of the various ways in which different amino acids can be metabolized, no single RQ can be assigned to the oxidation of protein in the diet.
Transcript of Short term effects of exercise on the Respiratory system. Short term effects of exercise on the Respiratory system. 1. Increased Breathing Rate. 2.Increased Tidal Volume Increased Breathing Rate Answers A short term effect of exercise on the Respiratory system is an increase in breathing rate.This is due to the muscles demanding more oxygen and an increase in carbon dioxide levels stimulates faster and deeper breathing.he volume of air that is breathed. in and out per breath, this. is approximately 500cm3. when the body is at rest. Increased tidal volume Of the 500cm3 only 2/3 of this. reaches the alveoli (350cm3). where gaseous exchange. takes place. When we exercise tidal volume increase to allow more air to pass to the lungs.
