The Respiratory System

- This system is basically the lungs which are responsible for the absorption of oxygen into the bloodstream and expelling carbon dioxide from the body.

- This occurs by breathing air into and out of the lungs.

- The oxygen moves from a high concentration (the air we breathe in) to a low concentration in the blood. This is scientific terms is called osmosis.

- Carbon dioxide moves in the opposite direction.

- Oxygen is vitally important to the human body as it is a major ingredient required to produce energy in the muscles.

Lungs:

--- Respiratory system:

- Brings oxygen into the body.

- It allows us to exhale carbon dioxide from our body.

The heart is basically a pumping station and pumps blood around the body and is made up of 4 chambers.

This pumping action creates what we know as our pulse.

The blood travels around the body in vessels called:

Arteries: Arteries have a muscular wall and takes blood away from the heart.

Arterioles: Small arteries

Capillaries: This is where nutrients and gases are exchanged.

Venuoles: Small vans

Veins: Veins don't have a muscular wall but have valve-like structures which prevent blood from flowing backward and takes blood to the heart.

The blood carries gasses and nutrients to the body and takes away waste products such as carbon dioxide.

My Athletic Scores

 My Athletics score

Event.	Time/distance
Long jump	4.20m
High jump	1.45m
Shot put	7.46
discus	21m
100meter sprints	14.4
Javelin	24m

1. I have tried Javelin for the first time this year and I enjoyed learning about the correct way to throw a javelin.

I improved on my 100-meter sprints the most as I wasn't that fast at it last year but I improve my speed and fitness level.

I Enjoyed Long Jump the most as I enjoy going that distance and that long of a jump. I also like that you see improvements every time you jump.

I would like to do more of these activities as they were fun and you could see improvements straight away.

BYE!
