B3 - Responses of Muscular System Flashcards
Blood Supply, Muscle Temperature, Muscle Pliability, Lactate, Micro Tears, DOMS
What are the 6 responses of the muscular system?
Increase in blood flow
Increase in muscle temperature
Micro tears
DOMS
Increase in muscle pliability
Increase in lactic acid
What is increase in blood flow?
The demand for blood is higher due to the muscles working so there’s an increase in blood flow.
What is increase muscle temperature?
Heat is released into the muscles which causes an increase in muscle temperature.
What is micro tears?
Resistance to the muscles create small tears in them.
What is DOMS?
Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness
When there’s a sore feeling in the muscles after an intense exercise.
What is increased muscle pliability?
When the muscles around the body have an increased range of movement.
What is increased lactate?
When there’s a build up of a uncomfortable burning sensation called lactic.
