b. Peripheral nervous system includes nerve trunks which leave or enter
central system. The twelve pairs of cranial nerves, their general
distribution and function; the thirty-one pairmof spinal nerves,
their general distribution; the thirty-one pairs of spinal (sensory)
ganglia; meaning of afferent (receptor) and efferent (effector)
neuronis; association neuronis, etc,

¢. Autonomic or Sympathetic nervous system.

 

The ganglia; general distribution and functions of this part of
nervous mechanism; connection with the central system; functions
controlled by this division of nervous system.

C. EFFECTS OF MUSCULAR ACTIVITY (exercise) upon:

1.

Se

The Muscle Cell, and muscular system. (Refer back to earlier discussion).
Its nutrition, size, production and elimination of wastes, endurance,
nerve control developed through voluntarv muscular exercise; immediate
and remote (or ultimate) effects of exercise upon the various systems.

 

The Nervous Mechanism

 

Integratian through exercise; how this is brought about. (Refer to dis-
cussion of nervous system above).

Circulatory Mechanism

 

Effect of sitting, standing, running in place on heart rate; on systolic,
diastolic, and pulse pressures; effects of exercise of speed, of effort,
and of endurance on these pressures; exercise as the chief means of
strengthening and conditioning this mechanism; athletics and longevity;
("Do athletes die young?"); dangers from inadequate exercise; stenderd
tests of cardiac efficiency; importance of physician's examination and
advice if heart is abnormal in function or structure; local and general
infections in relation to exercise and care of the heart; hygiene of
exercise in relation to care of circulatory mechanism.

Respiratory Activity and the Respiratory Mechanism

 

a. The Normal Respiratory Rate: Before and during exercise of varying
intensity and duration; effects of exercise on rate and denth of
respiratory movements.

 

b. The chemical changes produced as represented in Op intake and COs
output.

 

¢. The Respiratory Mechanism: Location of lungs; size; shape, aerating
surface; ventilation of; vital capacity and exercise, (See back un-
der nutrition and excretion for meaning of tidal, supplemental, com-
plemental, and residual air). Exercise and respiratory efficiency;
how muscular exercise develops and conditions this mechanism.
