Responses (2) + Adaptations (2) of the Skeletal System (SS)

Question 1

State the 2 responses of the skeletal system to exercise

Answer 1

Synovial fluid secretion
Mineral uptake

Question 2

State the 2 adaptations of the skeletal system to exercise

Answer 2

Increased bone strength
Increased ligament strength

Question 3

Define synovial fluid secretion

Answer 3

Joints become warmer due to activity
Synovial fluid becomes thinner allowing more movement

Question 4

Define mineral uptake

Answer 4

Increase in minerals due to weight-bearing exercises

Question 5

Define increased bone strength

Answer 5

The more your bones work, the stronger they get due to adaptation

Question 6

Define increased ligament strength

Answer 6

The more you work out, the stronger your ligaments get allowing more higher-intensity activities
