Question: Does exercising/ resting affect the number of times you can squeeze a clothespin in a minute?
Hypothesis: If the person DOES NOT exercise before the task then, they will be able to squeeze the clothespin more because not exercising/resting allows the body to relax and there are no buildups of waste products.
Biological Explanation: Both the respiratory system and the circulatory system are involved within my experiment. The respiratory system and circulatory system both work together to ensure that all cells of the body are supplied with oxygen. The respiratory system helps to bring in oxygen to the person’s body and transfers out carbon dioxide which is also known as a waste product. The respiratory system allows in air when the person breathes. In each of the lungs they have smaller tubes that help to pass the air into smaller and smaller tubes called bronchioles. The smallest of the bronchioles always conclude in small air packs also known as alveoli. These are surrounded by blood vessels. When your body transfers the carbon dioxide to oxygen it is taken place in the thin areas of the alveoli.
The circulatory system has a function to help carry nutrients, oxygen, hormones, and waste to help regulate homeostasis. In the circulatory system there is the cardiovascular system, the lymphatic system and blood. The cardiovascular system is a muscular organ that transports materials to the body cells and from them too. This system is composed of three vessels: arteries, capillaries, and veins. The capillary is a flimsy wall that passes gases and nutrients to the body’s cells. The Lymphatic system is part of the circulatory system. The lymph itself helps to capture extra blood that has slipped out and the system helps to return it to the blood. This system is made up of little structures called lymph nodes and lymph tissue.
