Metatarsal is a short bone. True or False.
False, a metatarsal is a long bone, not a short bone.
The muscle located on the shin bone is called tibialis posterior. True or False.
False. The muscle located on the shin bone is called the tibialis anterior
Trachea is also known as oesophagus. True or False.
False. Trachea and oesophagus (also spelled esophagus) are both tubes in the neck, but they have different functions.
The trachea carries air to the lungs, while the oesophagus carries food to the stomach.
The heart has 4 chambers. True or False.
Pelvis is type of short bone and it provides large surface area for muscles to attach to. True or False.
False. It is a flat bone.
Lateral Raise primarily focuses on this muscle.
Deltoid muscles.
During inhalation, the diaphragm contracts to become flatter. This causes the lungs to draw air containing oxygen. True or False.
True. During inhalation, the diaphragm contracts and flattens, causing the lungs to expand and draw in air containing oxygen. This contraction increases the space in the chest cavity, creating a pressure difference that pulls air into the lungs
Pulmonary circuit pumps blood to the lungs and back to the heart. True or False.
True.
Systemic circuit pumps blood to the body and back to the heart.
The bone marrow is the part of the bone that produces blood cells. True or False.
True, the bone marrow is indeed the part of the bone that produces blood cells. This soft, spongy tissue within the bones is responsible for making red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
The Achilles tendon is the tendon that joins the calf muscles to the heel bone. True or False.
True. The Achilles tendon is indeed the tendon that connects the calf muscles (gastrocnemius and soleus) to the heel bone (calcaneus).
The exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen in the lungs occurs in the alveoli via reverse osmosis. True or False.
False. Via diffusion.
The heart is a voluntary muscle. True or False.
False. The heart is an involuntary muscle. It works without your conscious control, beating automatically to pump blood throughout your body.
Cartilaginous joints are found in the knee and hip. True or False.
False.
Cartilaginous joints are mainly formed along the median axis of the body, in the vertebral column, ribs and the pelvic region.
A golfer would benefit with more muscle fibres type 1. True or False.
False. Golfers would generally benefit more from having more type 2 muscle fibers rather than type 1. Type 2 fibers are fast-twitch and are responsible for explosive movements and power output, which is crucial for a golf swing.
Minute ventilation = tidal volume x number of breaths per minute
The unit of measurement of minute ventilation is litres per minute.
True or False.
True.
Student A RHR is 58 bpm. Student B RHR is 79. Student B is a fitter student. True or False.
False. A fitter person has a lower RHR.
Joint capsule is the structure that surrounds and protects the joint, and acts as lubricant to reduce friction in the joint. True or False.
False.
The joint capsule does surround and protect the joint, but it does not directly act as a lubricant. The joint capsule is a fibrous envelope that surrounds the joint, providing protection and stability. The lubricant within the joint is synovial fluid, which is produced by the synovial membrane lining the joint capsule
The origin of biceps muscles that join the bone is the radius. True or False.
False. The origin of the biceps muscle is on the scapula (shoulder blade), not the radius. The biceps brachii muscle inserts on the radius, but its origin is on the scapula.
Intercostal muscles exhibit eccentric contraction when they are forced to lengthen while actively contracting, usually during forced expiration. True or False.
True.
On the other hand, intercostal muscles exhibit concentric contraction when they are shortening and generating force to elevate the rib cage, which is primarily during inspiration (breathing in).
An elite athlete will have lower resting heart rate and higher stroke volume. True or False.
True.
