The Cardiorespiratory System and Fitness
Cardiorespiratory Fitness
The ability of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems to supply oxygen and nutrients to large muscle groups to sustain dynamic activity
Respiratory System (Pulmonary System)
Air passageways and lungs
Cardiovascular System
Heart and blood vessels

How the Cardiorespiratory System Works
Air Passageways
Warm, humidify, and filter incoming air, promoting optimal gas exchange (delivering oxygen and removing carbon dioxide)
Lungs
Facilitate the movement of oxygen into the blood and the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide —a process called respiration

How the Cardiorespiratory System Works continued
Heart
Four chambers that pump blood through two different circulatory systems
Pulmonary system—pulmonary circulation: blood circulates from the heart to the lungs and back
Systemic circuit—systemic circulation: blood circulates from the heart to the rest of the body and back
Blood Vessels
Transport blood throughout the body via arteries (carry blood away from the heart) and veins (carry blood back toward the heart)
