Study Notes
Respiratory System & Physical Activity
- Regular physical activity strengthens respiratory muscles, improving lung capacity and ventilation.
- Increased oxygen intake and carbon dioxide expulsion enhance gas exchange efficiency.
- Exercise improves cardiovascular fitness, supporting the respiratory system's oxygen delivery function.
Circulatory System & Lifestyle Choices
- A sedentary lifestyle is most likely to negatively impact the circulatory system. This leads to reduced cardiovascular fitness and increased risk of heart disease.
- Unhealthy diets high in saturated fats, cholesterol and sodium contribute to atherosclerosis and hypertension, impacting circulatory efficiency.
- Smoking severely damages blood vessels, increasing the risk of heart disease and stroke.
Smoking & Respiratory System
- Smoking causes chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), including emphysema and chronic bronchitis, leading to impaired airflow and reduced gas exchange.
- Smoking damages lung tissue, reducing lung elasticity and increasing susceptibility to infections.
- Smoking increases the risk of lung cancer, a severe respiratory disease.
Sedentary Lifestyle & Heart Health
- A sedentary lifestyle weakens the heart muscle, reducing its pumping efficiency.
- Lack of physical activity increases blood pressure and cholesterol levels, increasing the risk of heart disease.
- Sedentary behavior contributes to obesity, a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases.
Alcohol Consumption & Circulatory System
- Excessive alcohol consumption damages the heart muscle (cardiomyopathy), weakening its ability to pump blood efficiently.
- Excessive alcohol intake raises blood pressure, increasing the workload on the heart.
- Alcohol abuse contributes to irregular heartbeats (arrhythmias) and an increased risk of stroke and heart failure.
