    In mammals, oxygen is bound to a protein called haemoglobin where most of the oxygen (97%) is carried in the red blood cells, and transported by the circulatory system. Mammals extract oxygen from the air using lungs, which are enclosed inside the body due risk of desiccation therefore their gas exchange system (the lungs) is inside their bodies to reduce water loss and are also kept moist by being deep inside the body making it harder for moisture to evaporate. Lungs are internal sac-like organs

    on the cardiovascular system. The duration and level of the exercise increases the muscles contractions more often and therefore resulting on the demand of more oxygen and the removal of waste products. In order to put up with extra demands the circulatory system must work more efficiently. The heart will therefore become more increasingly efficient, as this will result in the amount of blood pumped with each heartbeat increases also known as cardiac output. The major training responses take place

Without the vital functions that the circulatory system performs, the human body would have no way of transporting blood to vital organs or the ability to transport oxygen and nutrients to cells in order to remove waste. This whole system plays a major role in maintaining physiological homeostasis (Farley and McLafferty, 2012). Understanding cardiac function plays a vital role in understanding how human physiology and anatomy coexist
