Hint Answer % Correct
the process of breathing out, also known as expiration. Exhalation
76%
a circular movement around a joint, or a movement around an axis. Rotation
76%
an area of the body where two or more articulating bones meet. Synovial Joint
70%
connective tissue that attaches muscle to bone. Tendon
70%
the name used to describe the respiratory system and the cardiovascular system working together Cardio-respiratory system
67%
the protein found in red blood cells that transports oxygen and carbon dioxide around the body Haemoglobin
67%
the process of breathing in, also known as inspiration. Inhalation
67%
the name used to describe the muscular system and the skeletal system working together. Musculoskeletal System
67%
blood containing a low concentration of oxygen Deoxygenated Blood
65%
the narrowing of the internal diameter of a blood vessel to decrease the blood flow. Vasoconstriction
65%
the flowing backwards of blood. Prevented by valves in the veins. Backflow
63%
the force of your blood pushing against the walls of your arteries Blood Pressure
63%
small air sacs in the lungs where gaseous exchange takes place Alveoli
61%
a network of microscopic blood vessels. They are only one cell thick. Capillaries
61%
the amount of oxygen needed to recover after exercise. Characterised by an increased breathing rate and deeper breathing after exercise. EPOC (Excess Post-Exercise Oxygen Consumption)
61%
a mild poison and waste product of anaerobic respiration. Lactic Acid
61%
a chemical formed when haemoglobin binds to oxygen Oxyhaemoglobin
61%
working for short periods of time at a high intensity without oxygen for energy production Anaerobic Exercise
59%
the pain you feel in your muscles the day after you exercise DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness)
59%
the widening of the internal diameter of a blood vessel to increase blood flow. Vasodilation
59%
bones that meet at a joint to enable movement Articulating Bones
57%
movement at the ankle joint that points the toes and increases the angle at the ankle joint. Plantar Flexion
57%
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 Aerobic Exercise
54%
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 Gaseous Exchange
52%
the enlargement of an organ or tissue caused by an increase in the size of its cells. Hypertrophy
52%
the number of times your heart beats in one minute. One contraction and relaxation of the heart. Measured in beats per minute (bpm) Heart Rate
50%
the volume of blood ejected from the heart in one minute (stroke volume x heart rate) Cardiac Output
48%
movement of a bone or limb away from the midline of the body Abduction
46%
the amount of air that can be forced in after tidal volume (after a normal inhalation). Decreases during exercise. Inspiratory Reserve Volume
46%
increase in the angle of bones at a joint Extension
43%
decrease in the angle of bones at a joint Flexion
43%
the rhythmic throbbing that you can feel as your arteries pump blood around the body. Pulse
43%
the volume of blood pumped out of the heart by each ventricle during one contraction. Stroke Volume (SV)
43%
the phase of the heartbeat when the chambers of the heart contract and empty of blood; when blood is ejected from the heart. Systole
43%
the phase of the heartbeat when the chambers of the heart relax and fill with blood Diastole
41%
the muscle or group of muscles that relax to allow a movement to take place. works in an antagonistic pair with the agonist. Antagonist
39%
the distance travelled during diffusion. The diffusion pathway is short in gaseous exchange. Diffusion Pathway
37%
the normal volume of air inhaled or exhaled per breath. Tidal Volume
37%
movement of a bone or limb towards the midline of the body Adduction
35%
one cycle of diastole and systole Cardiac Cycle
35%
movement at the ankle joint that flexes the foot upwards and decreases the angle at the ankle joint Dorsiflexion
35%
the amount of air that can be forced out after tidal volume (after a normal exhalation). Decreases during exercise. Expiratory reserve volume
35%
the amount of energy needed to complete an activity. Intensity
35%
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 Physical Fatigue
35%
the muscle or group of muscles that contract to allow a movement to take place. works in an antagonistic pair with the antagonist. Agonist
30%
a muscle contraction where the length of the muscle does not change when it contracts. There is no limb movement as a result. Isometric Contraction
30%
the amount of air that remains in the lungs after maximal expiration. No change during exercise. Residual Volume
30%
a muscle contraction where the muscle changes length when it contracts, resulting in limb movement. Can be concentric or eccentric. Isotonic Contraction
24%
the largest volume of air that can be forcibly expired after the deepest possible inhalation. Vital Capacity
22%
