Deck 8 Skeletal System- Responses

Question 1

What are the two acute ways our skeletal system responds when we exercise?

Answer 1

Production of synovial fluid
Increase in mineral uptake

Question 2

When we exercise, as an acute response, is more or less synovial fluid released in the joint?

Answer 2

More synovial fluid is released into the synovial joint

Question 3

How does the joint becoming more lubricated help during exercise?

Answer 3

It helps to protect the bones during the increased demands that exercise puts on the skeleton and joint

Question 4

What happens to the synovial fluid and range of movement at a joint during exercise?

Answer 4

The fluid also becomes less viscous and the range of movement at the joint will increase

Question 5

where is the synovial fluid released from? What is increased?

Answer 5

The release of synovial fluid is from the synovial membrane will also provide increased nutrients to the articular cartilage

Question 6

How does increase in mineral uptake aid your skeletal system during exercise?

Answer 6

Enables the muscle to become stronger the more you use it, a bone becomes stronger and denser

Question 7

Which mineral is absorbed by the body to increase its bone mineral density?

Answer 7

Calcium

Question 8

Describe a Chronic response?

Answer 8

These are long term adaptions, for example increase in ligamnent strength

Question 9

True or fulse: Ligaments attach muscles to bone?

Answer 9

FULSE

Question 10

State two effects to the ligamentover this long period of time when exercise continually?

Answer 10

Ligaments become more pliable. Increasing flexibility and range of movement at a joint. It also means they are less likely to become sprained
