Cardiovascular system. Anatomy and physiology at rest and during physical activity

The cardiovascular system consists of the heart, the vascular network, and blood. This complex of organs responds to physical loads together, through complex interactions, allowing it to meet the metabolic needs of working muscles, maintain the necessary level of self-regulation (homeostasis), — for the functioning of the body and its timely response to potential threats.

In this book, you will learn about:
- the structure and function of each element of the cardiovascular system: from blood cells to organs;
- the complex response of elements of the cardiovascular system during aerobic and strength exercises, as well as during training regimen adherence;
- the reactions of organs and the cardiovascular system to stress caused by physical exercises.

All data is based on the latest scientific medical research. The publication is richly illustrated and contains more than 300 drawings and diagrams.
