31

3 types of muscle

New cards
32

33

New cards
40

type 1 muscle fibres (+adaptations)

known as slow twitch fibres and are suited for low intensity exercise such as a marathon as they can be used for a long time without fatiguing

New cards
41

type 11a muscle fibres. (+adaptations)

known as fast twitch fibres. they are suited to lengthy anaerobic work such as an 800m race and can be improved through endurance training to increase their resistance to fatigue

New cards
42

type 11x muscle fibres (+adaptations)

known as fast twitch fibres. They are used for anaerobic work and can generate a greater force than other fibre types but they fatigue quickly.

New cards
43

4 functions of the CV system

transport. clotting, temperature regulation, protection

New cards
44

arteries

blood vessels that carry oxygenated blood from the heart to muscles and organs (Thick walls/High-pressure blood, elasticated)

New cards
45

veins

blood vessels that carry deoxygenated blood from msucles and organs to the heart and they contain valves to prevent backflow of blood

New cards
46

capillaries

blood vessels that wrap around muscles and organs so that gaseous exchange can take place and are one cell thick

New cards
47

components of the blood

rbc, wbc, plasma and platelets

New cards
48

vasoconstriction

narrowing of blood vessels, so bloodflow is diverted away from organs of less use

New cards
49

vasodilation

widening of blood vessels, Allow more blood to flow through

New cards
50

Vascular shunting

Process that increases blood flow to Working muscles during exercise by diverting blood away from inactive areas; achieved by vasodilation and vasoconstriction.

New cards
51

Which has stronger thicker walls left ventricle or right ventricle. Why?

The left ventricle has a stronger thicker walls because it needs to pump oxygenated blood to the rest of the entire body

New cards
52

Name of the wall that separates right and left sides of the heart

The Septum

New cards
53

gaseous exchange

oxygen moves from air in the alveoli into the blood in the capillaries, while carbon dioxide moves from the blood in the capillaries into the air in the alveoli

New cards
54

Which muscles contract during inhalation

diaphragm and external intercostal muscles

New cards
55

aerobic exercise

glucose + oxygen = energy + carbon dioxide + water

New cards
56

anaerobic exercise

glucose = energy + lactic acid

Aerobically

New cards
58

aerobically and anaerobically

New cards
59

lactic acid

is a by product of anaerobic exercise which leads to muscle fatigue

New cards
75

Long-term effects of exercise on the respiratory system

More alveoli, stronger diaphragm and external intercostal muscles, increased lung capacity

85

(Levers) 123...

New cards
86

First class and third class

New cards
88

Which of the leavers operate a mechanical advantage

Second-class

New cards
89

mechanical disadvantage

when a levers load arm is longer than its effort arm. it has low load force to effort ratio

New cards
90

Consequences of a long load/resistance arm

Quick movement, large range of motion

New cards
91

Consequences of a short resistance/load arm

Small range of motion, ability to support a heavy weight

92

plane

an imaginary line dividing the body in two

New cards
93

axis

an imaginary line around which a body part or body can turn

New cards
94

dividing the body vertically from front to back

frontal axis

passing through the body from left to right allowing flexion and extension

New cards
98

sagittal axis

passing through the body from front to back allowing abduction and adduction (stab)

New cards
99

passing vertically through the body allowing rotation, from top to bottom (head to toe)
