Answer 18

sideward movement of the “s” or “c” shape, tendancy to lean to one side and may struggle to stand straigt

Question 19

Name the 3 types of muscle

Answer 19

cardiac, skeletal, smooth

Question 20

Explain the cardiac muscle

Answer 20

highly specialised, only in the heart, involuntary

Question 21

Explain the smooth muscle

Answer 21

involuntary muscle, unstriated, found in walls of many organs

Question 22

Explain the skeletal muscle

Answer 22

attached to bone to contract to assist bone movement, voluntary ( controlled by nerve impulses)

Question 23

Define agonist

Answer 23

the muscle that contracts to allow the movement to take place

Question 24

Define antagonist

Answer 24

the muscle that relaxes to allow the muscle to relax

Question 25

Define origin

Answer 25

the anchorage (end of agonist)

Question 26

Question 28

What are the two types of muscle contractions

Answer 28

isotonic and isometric

Question 29

Name and explain the two types of isotonic contraction

Answer 29

eccentric - muscle lengthen to develop tension concentric - muscle shorten to develop tension

Question 30

Name the explani the isometric contraction

Answer 30

static - muscles provide tension but stays the same length

Question 31

Describe the characteristics in a type 1 muscle fibre

Answer 31

dark red in colour slow twitch slow contraction speed slow fatigue can't generate much force provide own energy source

Question 32

Describe the characteristics in a type 2 muscle fibre

Answer 32

white in colour fast twitch fast contraction speed fast fatigue speed more powerful force

Answer 34

amount of air that can be forcibly inhaled after tidal volume

Question 35

Define expiratory reserve volume

Answer 35

amount of air that can be forcibly expelled after tidal volume

Question 36

Define residual volume

Answer 36

volume of air left in the lungs arfter forced expiration

Question 37

Explain the structure of arteries

Answer 37

blood away from heart bright red oxygenated blood thick, muscular elastic walls to withstand pressure large lumen

Question 38

Explain the structure of veins

Answer 38

blood towards the heart dark red oxygenated blood no stretch , no pulse valves to prevent backflow of blood small lumen

Question 39

Explain the structure of capillaries

Answer 39

huge network of tiny vessels very narrow - 1 blood cell thick thin walls allow rapid diffusion

Question 40

Describe the path of deoxygenated blood

Answer 40

from the body through vena cava into right atrium through tricuspid valve into right ventricle through pulmonary valve pulmonary artery to the lungs

Question 41

Describe the path of oxygenated blood

Answer 41

from the lungs through pulmonary vein into the left atrium through bicuspid valve into the left ventricle through aortic valve through aorta to the body

Question 42

Define stroke volume

Answer 42

amount of blood pumped per minute

Question 43
