Question 26

What are some responses of the skeletal system to sport?

Answer 26

increase of mineral uptake, more synovial fluid produced, less viscous synovial fluid

Question 27

What are the adaptations of the skeletal system to exercise?

Answer 27

Increased bone strength & ligament strength

Question 28

What is arthritis?

Answer 28

When bones rub together

Question 29

What is osteoporosis?

Answer 29

brittle bones

Question 30

How can age affect the skeletal system?

Answer 30

resistance training at a young age can harm the epiphyseal plates and stunt bone growth.

Joint capsule, Bursa, Articular cartilage, Synovial membrane, Synovial fluid, ligaments

Question 32

What is a joint capsule?

Answer 32

A joint capsule is an outer sleeve around the joint keeping bones in place and protecting the joint.

Question 33

What is a bursa?

Answer 33

A small synovial fluid filled sac that cushions the joint and reduces friction

Question 34

What is articular cartilage?

Answer 34

On the ends of bones & stop's bones rubbing together

Question 34

What is synovial membrane?

Answer 34

Joint capsule lining that secretes synovial fluid

Question 34

What is synovial fluid?

Answer 34

Viscous fluid that lubricates the joint & reduces friction

Question 34

What are ligaments?

Answer 34

Connects bone to bone providing stability
