Physiology of marathons amounts of blood to and from the lungs to reach all bodily tissues is dependent on having a high cardiac output along with sufficient levels of total body hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is the oxygen carrying protein within blood cells that allows for the proper transportation of oxygen from the lungs to other bodily tissues via the circulatory system. In order for the transportation of oxygen in blood to be effective during a marathon, the distribution of blood needs to be equally efficient in order for a marathoner's oxygen demands to be met during a race. The mechanism that allows for this
Composition of the human body organisms. Composition of the human body Body composition may be analyzed in terms of molecular type e.g., water, protein, connective tissue, fats (or lipids), hydroxylapatite (in bones), carbohydrates (such as glycogen and glucose) and DNA. In terms of tissue type, the body may be analyzed into water, fat, muscle, bone, etc. In terms of cell type, the body contains hundreds of different types of cells, but notably, the largest "number" of cells contained in a human body (though not the largest mass of cells) are not human cells, but bacteria residing in the normal human gastrointestinal tract. Almost 99% of
