A-LEVEL PE (OCR): PAPER 1 - Recovery, Altitude and Heat

These flashcards explain key concepts related to oxygen use during and after exercise, including EPOC (Excess Post-exercise Oxygen Consumption), oxygen deficit, and the two stages of recovery. They highlight how the body restores itself to a pre-exercise state and compensates for oxygen demands during physical activity.

Part of the CNS found within the spinal column; • communicates with the sense organs and muscles, except those of the head • entering dorsal roots= carry sensory information • exciting ventral roots= carry motor information • dorsal root ganglia= cell bodies of the sensory neurons that are located outside the spinal cord
The spinal cord consists of two types of matter: 1) grey matter 2) white matter Each segment sends s…… Information to the brain and receives motor commands
1) grey matter = - is densely packed with cell bodies and dendrites - located in the center of the spinal cord 2) white matter = - composed of mostly myelinated axons - carries information from the gray matter to the brain - or to other areas of the spinal cord Each segment sends sensory information to the brain and receives motor commands
Two subsystems of the autonomic nervous system?
Sympathetic - composed of ganglia on the left/right of the spinal cord; Parasympathetic; • dominant during relaxed states • composed of long preganglion axons extending from the spinal cord • and short postganglionic fibers that attach to the organs themselves

- postganglionic axons = Axons of the parasympathetic nervous system mostly release acetylcholine as a neurotransmitter - sympathetic nervous system mostly uses norepinephrine

Medulla - located just above the spinal cord; Like an enlarged extension of the spinal cord; The cranial nerves; - allow the medulla to control sensations from the Head, muscle movements in the head, and many parasympathetic outputs
