4
Your Heart, Lungs, and Circulation
Participating in aerobic activities regularly will increase your cardiorespiratory endurance.
5
Your Heart, Lungs, and CirculationThe word aerobic means “with oxygen.”
Aerobic activities
Continuous activity that
requires large amounts of
oxygen.
Term to Know
Done regularly, aerobic activity strengthens the heart and the lungs.
6
Your Circulatory System
To understand how aerobic activities work, you need to have some knowledge of the circulatory system, also called the cardiovascular system.
Circulatory system
Consists of the heart, blood, and
blood vessels.
Term to Know
This system is responsible for circulating blood throughout the body.
7
Your Circulatory System
The heart is the main organ of the circulatory system.
The right side of the heart pumps blood to the lungs, where it picks up oxygen and rids itself of carbon dioxide.
The left side of the heart pumps oxygen-rich blood to the rest of the body.
8
Your Circulatory System
The blood carries oxygen via hemoglobin.
Hemoglobin
An iron-rich compound in the blood that helps
carry the oxygen.
Term to Know
9
Your Circulatory System
When at rest, the heart beats an average of 72 times per minute.
Stroke volume
The amount of blood pumped per beat of the heart.
Term to Know
Your heart rate and stroke volume increase during strenuous physical activity.
10
Your Circulatory System
Blood is carried to and from the heart via a network of blood vessels.
There are three types of blood vessels: arteries, capillaries, and veins.
11
Your Circulatory System
Arteries are blood vessels that carry blood to the body tissues.
Arteries
Vessels that carry the blood from the heart to the major extremities, such as the arms, legs,
and head.
Term to Know
12
Your Circulatory System
Capillaries are blood vessels that carry blood throughout the body.
Capillaries
Smaller blood vessels that deliver oxygen and other
nutrients to individual cells.
Term to Know
13
Your Circulatory System
Veins are blood vessels that deliver blood from the capillaries back to the heart via the lungs.
Veins
Blood vessels that deliver blood back
to the heart.
Term to Know
14
Your Circulatory System
The oxygen that your blood carries is introduced into your body by means of your respiratory system.
Respiratory system
The body system that exchanges gases between
your body and the environment.
Term to Know
15
Your Circulatory System
The principal organ of your respiratory system is your lungs.
Your lungs exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide through the process of respiration.
16
Your Circulatory System
Unlike the heart, the lungs are not a muscle.
Diaphragm
A muscle found between the chest
cavity and abdomen.
Term to Know
Rather, they get their power from the diaphragm, the intercostal muscles around the ribs, and the abdominal muscles in the lower stomach area.
17
Your Circulatory System
Benefits of Aerobic Activity

18
Your Circulatory System
One long-term result of regular physical activity is cardiorespiratory endurance.
Cardiorespiratory endurance
The ability of the body to work
continuously for extended periods
of time.
Term to Know
19
Your Circulatory System
Cardiorespiratory endurance increases your chances for living a longer and healthier life.
By engaging in regular aerobic activity now, you can reduce your risk of developing lifestyle diseases later.
