receptor is found within the cardiovascular system in a variety of areas which is distributed which includes endothelial cells, cardiomyocytes, and smooth muscle cells. The function of erythropoietin is to control/maintain the volume of the formation of red blood cells. The erythropoietin has an effect on the respiratory system due to the function of maintaining red blood cell production, if more red blood cells are being produced this would result in the respiratory system having to obtain a higher

Anatomy and Physiology Cell Organelles There are 50 trillion (50 million million) cells in the human body; they carry out chemical reactions essential to life, for example Blood cells. Nucleus The nucleus is the largest structure in any human cell, it contains gasps or pores, which allow protein and nucleic acid, pass through. It is the central part of the cell and it’s usually a lot darker than the rest of the cell because it absorbs stain quickly and stores the entire DNA (Deoxyribonucleic

machinery. It is made up of many different systems that work together to allow us to take part in a wide range of sports and everyday activities. It is important that anyone working with clients in the sport and exercise industry has a good understanding of how each of these systems works and copes with the stresses of exercise. This unit will explore the structure and the functions of the skeletal, muscular, cardiovascular and respiratory systems and how each of them is affected by exercise

Initial Response to Exercise Within this article I will be outlining the key elements of the initial responses of the cardiovascular, respiratory, neuromuscular and energy systems to exercise. As a matter of first importance, there are numerous reactions that happen in the cardiovascular system that produce improvements inside of the initial two minutes of exercise. One of these is heart rate. The heart rate rises by pumping more blood around the body. Typically, the cardiac muscles of the heart
