Question 21

Isokinetic

Answer 21

A special machine where the resistance (weight) changes through the range of motion through the muscle

Question 22

Reciprocal inhibition

Answer 22

Pair of muscles working together where the antagonist relaxes and the agonist contracts to create movement

Question 23

Agonist

Answer 23

Prime mover - muscle that contracts to create movement

Question 24

Antagonist

Answer 24

Muscle that relaxes to allow movement to take place

Question 25

Intercostal muscles

Answer 25

Muscles situated between each rib that contract and increase the size of the lungs to allow more oxygen into the lungs and relax to assist breathing

Question 26

Diaphragm

Answer 26

Muscle that contracts and moves down to increase lung size as we breathe and relaxes during expiration

Question 27

Gaseous exchange

Answer 27

During inspiration the oxygen moves from high pressure to low pressure areas such as moving from the alveoli into the capillaries which is know as pulmonary diffusion. Once the oxygen has gone into the blood and the carbon dioxide into the alveoli, the diaphragm pushes up and causes expiration
