AB This  part  of  the  text  describes  the  many  physiological  systems  that  must  work  in  a  coordinated  fashion  for  the  body  to  maintain  sustained  physical  exertion.  Chapter  6  details  the  respiratory  system.  The  anatomy,  mechanics,  and  control  of  respiration  are  described,  including  the  diffusion  and  transport  of  oxygen  and  carbon  dioxide.  Then  Chapter  7  focuses  on  the  cardiovascular  system,  presenting  the  anatomy  of  the  heart  and  the  structure  of  the  blood  vessels,  including  the  associated  hemodynamics  of  circulation.  Chapter  8  brings  this  material  together  and  presents  information  on  the  acute  and  chronic  responses  to  exercise.  The  changes  that  take  place  during  incremental,  steady  state,  and  maximal  exercise  are  presented,  as  well  as  the  cardiovascular  and  respiratory  adaptations  to  training.
