The ability of the heart, lungs, and blood vessels to transport oxygen to muscle cells is crucial for aerobic metabolism and overall physical performance. The heart pumps oxygenated blood from the lungs through the arteries to various tissues, including muscle cells, where oxygen is used to produce energy. Additionally, the lungs facilitate the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide, ensuring that oxygen levels remain adequate for efficient transport. This coordinated function of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems is essential for sustaining physical activity and muscle function.
Coronary arteries carry oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle. These vessels originate from the aorta and provide the heart muscles with the necessary oxygen and nutrients for proper functioning.
Oxygen
Hemoglobin
Oxygen is supplied to the body tissues by a series of blood vessels from arteries, arteriolles, to capillaries.
The bodyâ??s maximum ability to transport and use oxygen is called maximal oxygen consumption. A recording of the changes in electrical activity of the heart is electrocardiogram.
The coronary arteries are the blood vessels that bring oxygenated blood to the muscle of the heart.
Blood is transported in arteries, veins, and capillaries. Arteries are the vessels that take blood from the heart. Veins are the vessels that take blood back to the heart, and capillaries are the tiny vessels that attach the arteries and veins. Transport of oxygen and nutrients occurs on the capillary level.
Smoking constricts your blood vessels which affect their ability to transport oxygen and other molecules (glucose) to your muscles which will effect their ability to contract. Also smoking makes it harder for your lungs to absorb oxygen.
