Q

What is linear motion?

A

movement in a straight line

28
Q

What is angular motion?

A

movement around an axis

29
Q

What is general motion?

A

combination of linear and angular (straight and axis)

30
Q

What is projectile motion?

A

flight or motion in the air

31
Q

How many types of levers are there?

A

3

32
Q

What does a first-class lever look like and an example?

A

FORCE-AXIS-RESISTANCE (FAR)
eg. rowing oar (force=hands, axis=oar bolt, resitance=water)

33
Q

What does a second-class lever look like and an example?

A

AXIS-RESITANCE-FORCE (ARF)
eg. bottle opener

34
Q

What does a third-class lever look like and an example?

A

AXIS-FORCE-RESISTANCE (AFR)
eg. bicep curl (axis=elbow joint, force=forearm, resistance=weight)

35
Q

What are the 3 energy systems?

A

ATP-PC
anaerobic glycolysis
aerobic glycolysis

36
Q

When does ATP-PC come in during activity?

A

0-10secs of activity (5 secs phase out)

37
Q

When does anaerobic glycolysis come in during activity?

A

15-90 secs

38
Q

When does aerobic glycolysis come in during activity?

A

90 secs+

39
Q

What are some aspects of ATP-PC?

A
  • no oxygen
  • explosive
    work:rest = 1:5
40
Q

What are some aspects of anaerobic glycolysis?

A
  • no oxygen
  • somewhat explosive
  • work:rest = 1:3
41
Q

What are some aspects of aerobic glycolysis?

A
  • oxygen required
  • endurance>power
  • work:rest = 1:1
42
Q

What is Newton’s first law?

A

object with remain at rest or in motion unless acted upon by an external force

43
Q

What is Newton’s second law?

A

force applied = acceleration in same direction and speed

44
Q

What is Newton’s third law?

A

every action has an equal and opposite reaction

45
Q

What is Gaseous Exchange in the lungs? (5)

A
  • O2 breathed in
  • O2 diffuses from the alveoli into capillaries
  • CO2 diffuses from the capillaries into alveoli
  • haemaglobin carries O2 through the body
  • CO2 breathed out
46
Q

What is Gaseous Exchange in the muscles? (4)

A
  • haemoglobin delivers O2 to muscle site
  • O2 diffuses into the muscle from the blood stream
  • CO2 diffuses into the blood stream from the muscles
  • haemoglobin carries C02 back to the lungs
47
Q

Where do gases want to go?

A

to the place with the least pressure

48
Q

What is diffusion?

A

diffusion is the movement of gases from a higher concentration to a lower concentration.

49
Q

2 types of diffusion

A

pulmonary & exchange of gases at the muscle cell site.

50
Q

What are the functions of the circulatory system?

A
  • pump oxygen and blood around the body
  • clears waste
  • hydration
  • regulate body temp
  • fighting infection
51
Q

Functions of the cardiac system?

A
  • circulate blood
  • bring O2, water & nutrients to cells
  • take CO2 and other wastes away from cells
  • maintain body temp and hydration (red blood cells)
  • fights diseases (white blood cells)
52
Q

Where does deoxygenated blood enter? (blue)

A

from the body it enters the right atrium of the heart through the superior/inferior vena cava.

53
Q

Where does the oxygenated blood return? (red)

A

returns to the heart through the pulmonary veins, entering the left atrium.

54
Q

What is the function of blood vessels?

A

they transport blood throughout the entire body.

55
Q

3 major types of blood vessels?

A

arteries
capillaries
veins

56
Q

What is the role of the arteries?

A

carry blood away from the heart

57
Q

What is the role of capillaries?

A

allow the exchange of gases, nutrients and wastes between the blood and the tissues.

58
Q

What is the role of veins?

A

carry blood back to the heart

59
Q

What is stroke volume?

A

the amount of blood pumped by each heart beat of the heart. SV increases the fitter people are

60
Q

What are the 2 dif types of blood pressure?

A

systolic blood pressure & diastolic blood pressure

61
Q

What is systolic blood pressure?

A

it is the highest pressure, and is the pressure on the arteries as the left ventricle contracts

62
Q

What is diastolic blood pressure?

A

it is the lowest pressure, and is the pressure on the arteries as the left ventricle relaxes.

63
Q

What is the function of the cervical vertebrae?

A

Support for your head

64
Q

What is the function of the thoracic vertebrae?

A

Connect ribs to spine

65
Q

What is the function of the lumbar vertebrae?

A

support heavy weights

66
Q

What is the function of the sacrum vertebrae?

A

supports pelvis

67
Q

What is the function of the coccyx vertebrae?

A

insertion site for many muscles
