Flashcards do conjunto (8)
- 1What are the short term effects of exercise on the respiratory system?• Increased breathing rate
• Increased depth of breathing
• Oxygen debt - 2What are the long term effects of exercise on the respiratory system?• Strengthens intercostal muscles
• Strengthens diaphragm
• Increases the number of alveoli
• Increases lung volume - 3What are the benefits of these long term effects?• Respiratory system gets stronger
• More air can be taken in and oxygen can be extracted more effectively to be delivered to working muscles
• More effective removal of carbon dioxide - 4Define 'total lung capacity'The total volume of air in your lungs after your biggest breath in
- 5Define 'tidal volume'The total amount of air breathed in and out in one cycle of normal breathing
- 6Define 'vital capacity'The maximum you can forcibly breathe in and out
- 7What is oxygen debt?The extra amount of oxygen required after anaerobic exercise to return to the amount normally needed when at rest
(This doesn't happen during aerobic exercise) - 8How does smoking effect the respiratory system?Carbon monoxide binds to the red blood cells so less oxygen can be carried around the body meaning less effective oxygen delivery to muscles
