Contextualise (Tutor support)
Tutor Answers:
Neural and Hormonal:
Controlling mechanism of the whole system detecting changes in the internal
and external environment. Facilitating changes in all systems to maintain
homeostasis.
Digestive and Energy:
Digestive provides macronutrients (fats, carbohydrates and fats) to create
potential energy.
Unit 1: Principles of Anatomy and Physiology in Sport
Skeletal and Skeletal Muscle:
Without the skeleton there would be no framework for skeletal muscles to
manipulate and therefore create movement.
Respiratory and Energy:
Respiratory provides O2, which helps to fully breakdown macronutrients.
Respiratory removes CO2 – waste product of energy creation.
Energy and Cardiovascular:
O2 and macronutrients transported through the vessels of the CV system.
Skeletal and Cardiovascular:
Skelton produces platelets (clotting), red blood cells (carries O2 and some CO2)
and come white blood cells (fights infections).
