CARDIORESPIRATORY DEVELOPMENT Fahey/Insel/Roth, Fit & Well: Core Concepts and Labs in Physical Fitness and Wellness, Chapter 3
ANATOMY OF THE HEART O The heart is divided into right and left hand side by the septum. Septum O The 2 sides are separate & have no communication with each other.
ANATOMY OF THE HEART Left Atrium Septum Right Atrium Left Ventricle Right Ventricle
WHAT IS CARDIORESPIRATORY SYSTEM O It is made up of the following two cooperating systems: O O the cardiovascular/circulatory (the heart and blood vessels) system the respiratory (the lungs and related muscles) system O Together, these systems deliver oxygen and nutrients, and remove waste products, throughout the body O Exercise challenges the cardiorespiratory system by increasing the demand for oxygen and nutrients in working muscles
Cardiorespiratory System O The Heart (two pumps in one) O Right side/pulmonary circuit O Left side/systemic circuit O Blood Vessels O Arteries: carry blood away from the heart O Veins: carry blood from body tissues back to the heart O Capillaries: thin-walled blood vessels that allow oxygen and nutrients to pass through to tissues, and waste products (e.g.,carbon dioxide) to pass back into the vascular system for processing

Circulation in the Heart Fahey/Insel/Roth, Fit & Well: Core Concepts and Labs in Physical Fitness and Wellness, Chapter 3
Cardiorespiratory System O Blood vessels O Arteries = vessels that carry blood away from the heart O Veins = vessels that carry blood to the heart O Capillaries = very small blood vessels that distribute blood to all parts of the body Fahey/Insel/Roth, Fit & Well: Core Concepts and Labs in Physical Fitness and Wellness, Chapter 3
RESPIRATORY SYSTEM O Controls breathing O Consists of lungs and related muscles O The lungs O exhale carbon dioxide and waste products O inhale oxygen, some of which passes into alveoli (tiny air sacs), and then into capillaries O send oxygen-rich blood back to the heart Fahey/Insel/Roth, Fit & Well: Core Concepts and Labs in Physical Fitness and Wellness, Chapter 3
O Alveoli = tiny air sacs in the lungs through whose walls gases such as oxygen and carbon dioxide diffuse in and out of the blood O Lungs expand and contract about 12 20 times a minute Fahey/Insel/Roth, Fit & Well: Core Concepts and Labs in Physical Fitness and Wellness, Chapter 3
EARLIEST DEVELOPMENT O Cardiovascular system makes its first appearance while the embryo is still flat. O Clusters of mesodermal cells specialise to form blood cells. O Mesodermal cells around these flatten to form endothelium of blood vessels. O These clusters are called blood islands of angiogenic ( blood vessel-forming ) cell clusters.

O In the accompanying diagram note that these form a curve reaching well beyond the neural plate and the notochord. A mass of mesoderm, called cardiogenic area, near the head end (H) will give rise to the heart. O The sagittal section below illustrates the three germ layers, prochordal plate and the cardiogenic area.

FOETAL CIRCULATION Very little pulmonary flow Placental Circulation Right to Left Passages Fahey/Insel/Roth, Fit & Well: Core Concepts and Labs in Physical Fitness and Wellness, Chapter 3
Cardiorespiratory System AT REST O Heart rate: 50 90 beats/minute O Breathing rate: 12 20 breaths/minute O Blood pressure: 110/70 O Cardiac output: 5 quarts/minute O Blood distributed to muscles: 15 20% DURING EXERCISE O Heart rate: 170 210 beats/minute O Breathing rate: 40 60 breaths/minute O Blood pressure: 175/65 O Cardiac output: 20 quarts/minute O Blood distributed to muscles: 85 90% Fahey/Insel/Roth, Fit & Well: Core Concepts and Labs in Physical Fitness and Wellness, Chapter 3
Energy Production O Metabolism the sum of all chemical processes necessary to maintain the body O Energy from food O Broken down into glucose O Stored as glycogen O ATP (adenosine triphosphate): The energy currency of cells Fahey/Insel/Roth, Fit & Well: Core Concepts and Labs in Physical Fitness and Wellness, Chapter 3
Benefits of Cardiorespiratory Endurance Exercise O Improved cardiorespiratory function O Improved cellular metabolism O Reduced risk of chronic disease O Cardiovascular disease O Cancer O Type 2 diabetes O Osteoporosis O Deaths from all causes Fahey/Insel/Roth, Fit & Well: Core Concepts and Labs in Physical Fitness and Wellness, Chapter 3
Benefits of Cardiorespiratory Endurance Exercise O Better control of body fat O Improved immune function O Improved psychological and emotional well-being Fahey/Insel/Roth, Fit & Well: Core Concepts and Labs in Physical Fitness and Wellness, Chapter 3
SUMMARY & FUNCTIONS O Right Atrium (RA) O receives deoxygenated blood from the organs of the body. O Right Ventricle (RV) O pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs. O Left Atrium (LA) O receives oxygenated blood from the lungs. O Left Ventricle (LV) O pumps oxygenated blood to all organs of the body O larger & stronger than RV O as it pumps blood through the body.
SUMMARY & FUNCTIONS O Valves: O there are 4 one O way valves in the heart that open or close in response to pressure of blood flow: O Bicuspid Valve: O separates the left atrium from the left ventricle. O Tricuspid Valve: O separates the right atrium from the right ventricle. O Aortic Valve : O separates the left ventricle from the aorta. O Pulmonary Valve: O separates the right ventricle from the pulmonary artery.
SUMMARY & FUNCTIONS O Blood vessels leading to and from the heart are as follows: O Aorta carries oxygenated blood out of the left ventricle to the body. O Superior Vena Cava returns deoxygenated blood to the right atrium from the head & upper body. O Inferior Vena Cava returns deoxygenated blood to the right atrium from the lower body. O Pulmonary Vein carries oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium. O Pulmonary Artery carries deoxygenated blood from body to lungs.
