Title: Explain the respiratory system.
Course: Sports Medicine/Athletic Training I (14062-I) > Section: Understanding Human Anatomy and Physiology

Explanation should include naming and discussing the function of each part of the respiratory system.

Students must also be able to explain and demonstrate taking vital signs (i.e., breathing frequency).

Process/Skill Questions:

- What are the parts of this system?
- What is the function of each part?
- What are the common injuries and pathological conditions of this system?
- What are signs and symptoms of the different injuries and conditions?
- What are different tests used to assess for these injuries and conditions?
- What are clinical procedures used to treat these injuries and conditions?

Chapter 3 The Cardiorespiratory System

- Describe the structure and function of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems.
- Explain how each of these systems relates to human movement.
- Describe how the cardiovascular and respiratory systems work in unison.
- Explain the influence that dysfunctional breathing can have on the human movement system.

Chapter 4 Exercise Metabolism and Bioenergetics

- Describe the primary methods of how the body produces energy for exercise.
- Differentiate between aerobic and anaerobic metabolism.
- Distinguish which energy pathways predominate for various intensities and durations of exercise.
- Understand the interaction of carbohydrate, fat, and protein as fuels for exercise.
- State the differences in the energy use during steady state and exhaustive exercise.
- Discriminate between the energy requirements of steady state versus intermittent exercise.
- Describe basic training-induced adaptations in energy production.
