Q

Why does heart rate increase during exercise

A

more oxygen is required at working muscles

more carbon dioxide needs to be removed

Q

Why does stroke volume increase during exercise

A

More blood comes back to heart, therefore more oxygenated blood at the working muscles

Q

Why does lactic acid build up during exercise

A

Due to an excess of amount of carbon dioxide, which leads to fatigue

Oxygen not available to break down the lactic acid

Therefore oxygen debt

Q

Why does cardiac output increase during exercise

A

Oxygenated blood will come to our muscles more efficiently

Q

Why does depth of breathing and rate of breathe increase during exercise

A

So more oxygen can reach your working muscles in one go

Q

define cardiac hypertrophy

A

Where the heart increases in size and capacity, meaning the left ventricle will pump more blood out per beat.

Q

how does the respiratory and cardiovascular systems work together

A
  • oxygen intake into lungs
  • transfer to blood and transport to muscles
  • removal of carbon dioxide
