OXYGEN TRANSPORT AND USE
|
"The body under stress behaves as a perfect machine that integrates and harmonises the functional responses of multiple organs and pathways. In this process, the delivery of oxygen to mitochondria is essential to perform at aerobic capacity."

|
ENERGY LIBERATION AND TRANSFER
|
"There are many similarities between the 'human engine' and the combustion engine constructed by man"
|
|
|
BLOOD AND BODY FLUIDS
|
"The function of the individual cells within the body is dependent on the constancy of their internal and surrounding environment"
|
|
|
CIRCULATION
|
"A scientific discussion of the oxygen-transporting during muscular activity reveals that a regulation of the circulation at rest and during sub maximal exercise is not guided only by the metabolic rate; various other factors may influence the circulatory response to exercise"
|
|
|
RESPIRATION
|
"The living cell uses oxygen for its metabolism, in the course of which carbon dioxide is produced"
|
|
|
SKELETAL SYSTEM
|
"It is the supporting framework which prevents the entire body from collapsing into a heap of soft tissue; it is the protecting shell or casing for such vital, viable organs as the brain, lungs, heart, and pelvic organs; and it contains within its structures the factories for formed elements of the blood"
