P4- Explain the Physiology of two named body systems in relation to energy metabolism in the body. In this essay I am going to be explaining how energy is made in the body and two body systems that help to produce this energy. “The metabolic systems are responsible for the chemical reactions within the body. These reactions are involved in the maintenance of the living organism and may be involved in reactions that break compounds down catabolic reactions or reactions which build compounds up anabolic reactions”. (King R 2012) They all require energy to work.
It is very important that a person stays hydrated because water makes up more than half of your body weight, and not staying hydrated can result in your body shutting down and possible death. Your body uses water in many ways, all the cells in your body need water to function. All of your body’s tissues need water, and all of your body’s organs need water to function correctly. Some of the ways that your body uses water are ; water is used to regulate your body’s temperature, you sweet to lower your temperature when your body is overheating. Water is also used to carry vitamins and minerals to our body’s cells.
1. Cardiovascular System is a complex network of the heart, blood vessels and blood. Its job is to deliver nutrients to the human body and remove excretory products from the body parts, it’s also protects the human body against infections, distribution of heat. At the centre of the cardiovascular system is the heart, a four chambered pump that dispenses blood to the arteries. The arteries carry nutrients and oxygenated blood to the body’s tissues.
They tend to enlarge following vigorous exercise, a phenomenon called muscular hypertrophy and are located around the body. Conversely, cardiac muscle is confined only to the heart, its main role being to distribute blood. Its myogenic nature means contractions are under involuntary control and cause prevention from fatigue. The natural beating rhythm is adjusted via sympathetic and parasympathetic neurons of the CNS to suit physiological conditions. The function of these muscles is closely related to their structure and any differences in structure allow these two types of muscle to be identified.
Fat and Water Soluble Vitamins Vitamins are essential nutrients that the human body needs. There are many vitamins essential for everyday living. Vitamins can be classified into two categories. These vitamins within the two categories all have major functions within the body, all have great benefits and well as almost all of them have a downside when too much is taken or if there is a deficiency in amount taken. Vitamins help keep the human body healthy as well as allowing it to function properly.
Tomatoes, carrots, and red bell peppers are also good to stay hydrated. The most important thing you can do is to drink plenty of water, especially on really hot days or days when you are exerting yourself. The common complaint about drinking water is that it doesn’t taste good, if you find yourself with this issue there are plenty of ways to flavor water so it is more appealing. On average a person should drink two to three liters of water a day. An amazing statistic I found is “breathing, going to the bathroom and sweating results in about 2.5 liters of water loss a day.” (Squiddo 2010) Squiddo also states that “around 20 percent of water intake comes from food consumption, so drinking at least two liters of water each day, along with a healthy diet, should replenish your
Water: An Overlooked Essential Nutrient Value of Hydration Presentation • __________, consultant hired by _______________ to give a presentation on the value of hydration. • To provide hydration education and tips to help reduce the number of sick days taken due to dehydration or hydration related sports injuries. • Hydration tips for every day and intense workouts. 2 Water: Essential to Good Health • Water is the body’s principal chemical component and makes up 60% of your body weight. • Water flushes toxins out of vital organs, carries nutrients to cells and provides a moist environment for ear, nose and throat tissues.
P3- Outline the gross structure of all the main body systems Cardiovascular system The cardiovascular system consists of the heart, blood vessels and transports blood around the body. It is also responsible for transporting oxygen, nutrients, hormones, and cellular waste products throughout the body. The cardiovascular system is controlled by the heart. The Heart: This is the main pump of the cardiovascular system. The heart is the pump that pushes the blood around the body.
Understand Your Fats and Fiber Samantha Erlitz SCI/241 October 10, 2013 Diana Layne Understand Your Fats and Fiber There are several types of fat, and fat is important to a healthy diet, but in the right quantities. Every gram of fat contains nine calories, regardless of the type of fat you consume. There are also certain fats that are healthier than others and some that are easier to recognize versus hidden fats. “A saturated fatty acid is one in which all the carbons in the fatty acid chain are saturated with hydrogen atoms.” (Grosvenor & Smolin, 2006) These fats can be most commonly found in animal foods, and dairy products. Unsaturated fats tend to be liquid, and do not contain the hydrogen saturation that the saturated
P4 - Unit 5 Task 4a: Explain the physiology of two named body systems in relation to energy metabolism in the body. In this assignment, I will be describing the physiology of two named body systems in relation to energy metabolism in the body What is metabolism? Metabolism is a collection of chemical reactions that take place in the body's cells, metabolism converts the nutrients received from food we eat in to essential energy, which is needed to power everything that we do. In our bodies there are specific proteins that control the chemical reactions of metabolism. The two body systems I will write about are the respiratory system and the digestive system.
