Question

While exercising, your heart rate increases as well as your breathing rate.

Is there any relation between the 2 systems? Explain.

Answer 1

Answer

During exercise, 2 of the vital organs of the body come into action: the heart and also the lungs. The lungs bring oxygen into the body, to produce energy, and take away CO2, the waste matter created when you produce energy. the heart pumps the oxygen to the muscles that are doing the exercise.

When we exercise and our muscles work harder, our body uses additional oxygen ( some thrice as much as resting muscles) and produces more CO2. To deal with this further demand, that your heart starts pumping quicker, that makes for a faster pulse. Meanwhile, your breathing should increase from about fifteen times a minute (12 liters of air) when you are resting, up to about 40–60 times a minute (100 liters of air) throughout exercise. Your circulation also speeds up to take the oxygen to the muscles so that they can keep moving.
