Why do red blood cells take oxygen to the working muscles?
Red Blood cells take oxygen to the working muscles as it is required for respiration.
How does Oxygen affect dieting?
Your working muscles can take oxygen out of the blood three times.
What do red blood cells carry to the working muscles?
Red blood cells carry oxygen from the lungs to the working muscles. This oxygen is essential for aerobic metabolism, which is the process that provides energy for muscle contractions during exercise.
What are the short terms on the respiratory system?
There is an increase in the breathing rate, this is due to the demand for oxygen from the working muscles. •The Respiratory Volume increases, this is due to the increase of Tidal Volume and breathing rate whilst meeting the demand of oxygen for the working muscles.
What does cardiorespotaory fitness measure?
It measures the capacity of the heart, lungs, and blood to transport oxygen to the working muscles, and measures the utilization of oxygen by the muscles during exercise.
What is the process where the muscles need oxygen?
if the working muscles do not have enough oxygen, then the process is anaerobic respiration where the glucose in the cells is creating lactic acid as it is not reacting with the oxygen needed like it would if the body was respiring normally then it would be aerobic respiration
How well can the circulatory system supply oxygen to working muscles during excises?
oxygen is breathed into the lungs where 'gaseous exchange' takes place, this transfers the oxygen to the blood supply (circulatory system) which already contains various substances ie. food etc. Oxygen is taken via the blood capilary network to the muscle cells 'mitchocondria' where 'airobic resperation' takes place, this involves the food being broken down using the oxygen, releasing energy to the cells and producing carbon dioxide and water as byproducts.
How does the body pass the oxygen round the body especially to the muscles?
blood takes it to the all parts of body
What is the gas your muscles produce when they are working?
Carbon dioxide.This is due to the fact that muscles need oxygen to function and so uses oxygen and converts it into Carbon dioxide. Hopefully this helps!
Why does breathing rate changes?
Because your exercising your muscles are using more oxygen. In order for your body to keep working and keep up with the amount of oxygen your body is needing, it speeds up the breathing. This gets more oxygen in and flowing to your muscles. If you muscles just relied on the amount of oxygen you got in with a normal breathing rate, you wouldn't get far.
What do muscle cells run low on after a workout?
Muscle cells need more oxygen when they are working hard. When you are working very hard and you begin to respire anaerobically (when the muscles don't get enough oxygen so work without it) your muscles produce a bi product of lactic acid, which is what makes them ache.Your muscles need oxygen to break down this acid into water and carbon dioxide, and this is called an oxygen debt.That is why you keep breathing heavily after you have stopped doing the activity.
What is max VO2?
VO2 max is the maximum amount of oxygen taken in and transported to the working muscles to produces energy
