Response of Organ Systems During Exercise
Nervous
Once exercising begins, the sympathetic nervous system is activated and the heart rate rises quickly.
With that, blood pressure
also rises.
As blood flow increases,
your brain is more exposed to oxygen
and nutrients.
In turn this nourishes the brain and keeps brain cells healthier.
Careers involving the Nervous system.
Neurobiologist.
Studies the biology of the nervous system.
Neuroanatomist.
Studies the structure (anatomy) of the nervous system.
Neuroscientist.
General term for someone who studies the nervous system.
Musculoskeletal
The respiratory and circulatory systems work together to clean the muscles of waste and provide the necessary energy.
The muscles contract and stretch allowing fluid movements.
The circulatory system responds by sending more oxygen filled blood throughout the body.
The need for oxygen is increased so the respiratory system sends oxygen to the muscles.
Dislocation of a joint.
There is a chance you can sprain a joint.
You can prevent these from being careful and not overdoing your workouts or activities. Treatment can be offered by athletic trainers, massage therapists, chiropractors, etc.
You can pull a muscle if not careful.
Careers involving the Musculoskeletal system.
Athletic Trainer.
Trains a person to prevent that person from making, preventing and treating athletic injuries.
Massage Therapist.
A therapist that specializes in the movement of soft body tissue on another person.
Chiropractor.
A therapist that specializes in the manipulation of misaligned joints.
Respiratory
Intense workouts can lead to...
Shortness of breath.
Exhaustion.
Wheezing.
Coughing.
Careers involving the Respiratory system.
Adult Critical Care Specialty.
Registered Respiratory Therapist.
A doctor who treats critical issues involving the circulatory system.
Pediatric Respiratory Care Specialist.
A pediatric specialist monitors, diagnoses
and treats younger patients.
Regulate fluid and temperature balancing.
Contribute to acid base balance.
Oxygen ventilation is increased.
Removes carbon dioxide from contracting muscles.
Oxygen is then moved into the muscles.
Respiratory system relies on circulatory system to deliver oxygen it gathers.
Circulatory
Issues that may occur while exercising.
There is a slight chance arrhythmia may cause a heart attack
which can be fatal.
Very intense activity can lead to cardiac arrest of not moderated.
Careers involving the Circulatory system.
Echocardiographer.
Using ultrasounds to investigate the heart.
Hematologist.
Treating, diagnosing and prevention of diseases related to blood.
Cardiac surgeon.
A cardiac surgeon is someone who specializes in surgeries
within the thoracic region mainly work with lungs, heart and other key structures.
Blood is pumped more efficiently.
More blood surges throughout the body.
Blood is pumped more into muscles and lungs.
Blood is pumped faster.
This increases heart rate.
Digestive
Relationship between the
digestive system and
circulatory system.
The circulatory system pumps more blood throughout the body running blood through the digestive track. The blood collects minerals, nutrients and waste.
Issues that may occur while
exercising.
Very intense exercising can lead to...
Gastrointestinal bleeding.
Diarrhea.
Heartburn.
It you have eaten a big meal before the session, it can lead to...
Failure to digest big
loads.
Nausea.
Vomiting.
Blood is circulated throughout the digestive system.
Blood also collects and carries away waste products.
Blood picks up remaining nutrients from your last meal.
Blood then carries nutrients and minerals throughout the body.
Metabolism is increased for the duration of the exercise.
Blood is diverted to your muscles and lungs.
Blood flow increases throughout the body.
Careers involving the digestive system.
Gastroenterologist.
Diagnoses and treats issues concerning the stomach and intestine.
Hepatologist
Incorporates the study of liver, pancreas, gallbladder, biliary tree and as well as managing their respective disorders.
Your body does not use energy to digest while exercising.
Energy is saved for muscles and lungs to use to increase efficiency of other systems.
Causes digestion to slow.
