a circular movement around a joint, or a movement around an axis.
an area of the body where two or more articulating bones meet.
the force of your blood pushing against the walls of your arteries
the phase of the heartbeat when the chambers of the heart relax and fill with blood
the largest volume of air that can be forcibly expired after the deepest possible inhalation.
the widening of the internal diameter of a blood vessel to increase blood flow.
the process of breathing out, also known as expiration.
the muscle or group of muscles that contract to allow a movement to take place. works in an antagonistic pair with the antagonist.
a muscle contraction where the length of the muscle does not change when it contracts. There is no limb movement as a result.
one cycle of diastole and systole
a network of microscopic blood vessels. They are only one cell thick.
the process of breathing in, also known as inspiration.
working for short periods of time at a high intensity without oxygen for energy production
movement at the ankle joint that flexes the foot upwards and decreases the angle at the ankle joint
the normal volume of air inhaled or exhaled per breath.
the protein found in red blood cells that transports oxygen and carbon dioxide around the body
the volume of blood ejected from the heart in one minute (stroke volume x heart rate)
the name used to describe the muscular system and the skeletal system working together.
the amount of energy needed to complete an activity.
the amount of air that can be forced out after tidal volume (after a normal exhalation). Decreases during exercise.
the distance travelled during diffusion. The diffusion pathway is short in gaseous exchange.
decrease in the angle of bones at a joint
blood containing a low concentration of oxygen
the amount of air that remains in the lungs after maximal expiration. No change during exercise.
small air sacs in the lungs where gaseous exchange takes place
the number of times your heart beats in one minute. One contraction and relaxation of the heart. Measured in beats per minute (bpm)
a feeling of extreme or severe tiredness due to a build-up of lactic acid in the muscles or working for a long period of time
the phase of the heartbeat when the chambers of the heart contract and empty of blood; when blood is ejected from the heart.
a chemical formed when haemoglobin binds to oxygen
movement of a bone or limb towards the midline of the body
the rhythmic throbbing that you can feel as your arteries pump blood around the body.
movement of a bone or limb away from the midline of the body
connective tissue that attaches muscle to bone.
the amount of air that can be forced in after tidal volume (after a normal inhalation). Decreases during exercise.
the name used to describe the respiratory system and the cardiovascular system working together
the amount of oxygen needed to recover after exercise. Characterised by an increased breathing rate and deeper breathing after exercise.
the process where oxygen from the air in the alveoli moves into the blood in the capillaries, while carbon dioxide moves from the blood in the capilliaries into the air in the alveoli
a muscle contraction where the muscle changes length when it contracts, resulting in limb movement. Can be concentric or eccentric.
working at a low to moderate intensity so that the body has time to use oxygen for energy production and can work for a long period of time
the narrowing of the internal diameter of a blood vessel to decrease the blood flow.
the flowing backwards of blood. Prevented by valves in the veins.
the volume of blood pumped out of the heart by each ventricle during one contraction.
the muscle or group of muscles that relax to allow a movement to take place. works in an antagonistic pair with the agonist.
a mild poison and waste product of anaerobic respiration.
the pain you feel in your muscles the day after you exercise
movement at the ankle joint that points the toes and increases the angle at the ankle joint.
increase in the angle of bones at a joint
bones that meet at a joint to enable movement
the enlargement of an organ or tissue caused by an increase in the size of its cells.
