Yr9 EoY Test Revision Flashcards
What are the 4 types of bones?
Long Bones (femur and humerus)
Short Bones (metacarpals and metatarsals)
Flat Bones (cranium and sternum)
Irregular Bones (vertebrae)
Tidal Volume
Tidal Volume - amount of air that enters the lungs during normal inspiration at rest (average is 500ml).
Inspiratory Reserve Volume
Inspiratory Reserve Volume - is the additional air that can be forcibly inhaled after the inspiration of a normal tidal volume
Expiratory Reserve Volume
Expiratory Reserve Volume - is the additional air that can be forcibly exhaled after the expiration of a normal tidal volume.
Residual Volume
Residual Volume - The volume of air that remains in the lungs after maximal expiration.
Inspiration (breathing in)
- The diaphragm contracts and moves downwards.
- The intercostal muscles contract and move the ribs upwards and outwards.
- This increases the size of the chest and decreases the air pressure inside it which sucks air into the lungs.
- When exercise begins, inspiration can be assisted by the pectoral muscles and the sternocleidomastoid which help to lift the ribs up and out even further.
Expiration (breathing out)
- The diaphragm relaxes and moves back to its domed shape.
- The intercostal muscles relax so the ribs move inwards and downwards under their own weight.
- This decreases the size of the chest and increases the air pressure in the chest so air is forced out of the lungs.
- During exercise, this passive process of relaxation becomes active as the abdominal muscles pull the ribs downwards and inwards even further.
Resting Heart Rate
Resting Heart Rate is the number of times the heart beats per minute when you are not exercising. (measured in bpm)
Maximum Heart Rate
Maximum Heart Rate is worked out using the following equation 220 - Age example 220-14=206
Recovery Heart Rate
Recovery Heart Rate is the amount of time it takes for the heart to recover from working heart rate to resting heart rate (measured in minutes)
Working Heart Rate
Working Heart Rate is the number of times the heart beats per minute after a period of exercise. (measured in bpm)
Stroke Volume
The Stroke Volume is the volume of blood that leaves the heart during each contraction.
Cardiac output
Cardiac output is the volume of blood that the heart is able to pump out per minute.
Health
Health - a state of complete physical, mental and social well being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.
Fitness
Fitness - ability to execute daily activities with optimal performance, endurance, and strength with the management of disease, fatigue, and stress and reduced sedentary behaviour.
