2.64: Describe How the Heart Rate Changes during Exercise and Under the Influence of Adrenaline

HEART RATE: Heart Rate is Measured in Beats Per Minute

ADRENALINE: Hormone Produced by the Adrenal Glands in the Kidney that Increasing Breathing Rate and Heart Rate

HEART RATE DURING EXERCISE
Graph Showing the Heart Rate During Exercise
PROCESS:
  • During Exercise, Muscles will be Respiring so Heart Rate will Increase as they will Contract More Often and Powerfully (Stroke Volume) to Increase Blood Circulation so More Oxygen can be Transported to Respiring Cells to Release Energy, Also to Remove Waste Carbon Dioxide More Efficiently
  • Heart Rate will also Increase as If Anaerobic Respiration has Taken Place, Oxygen Debt is Created where More Oxygen is Need for Aerobic Respiration  to Produce Carbon Dioxide and Water to Remove the Lactic Acid produced to Prevent Muscle Cramps




EFFECT OF ADRENALINE ON HEART RATE
Diagram Showing Where Adrenaline is Produced
PROCESS:
  • During Exercise, Adrenaline will be Produced by the Adrenal Glands on Top of the Kidney and Secreted into the blood to Stimulate Adrenergic Receptors in the Heart
  • This will Increase Heart Rate so will Increase Blood Supply to Respiring Muscles as they will be Contracting More Frequently Allowing More Aerobic Respiration to Take Place
  • This will also Increase Breathing Rate so More Gas Exchange Takes Place; Oxygen Diffuses Into Blood, Carbon Dioxide Diffuses Out of Blood
