Is the highlighted bone appendicular or axial skeleton?
Appendicular

How does tidal volume change with exercise?
Increases- as you need more oxygen you take deeper breathes to meet energy demands and oxygen demands from muscles

Fats -lipids ---most energy per gram
Carbohydrates
Protein
Water

Explain what cardiac output is
The amount of blood pumped through the left ventricle to the entire body each minute - measured in liters

What is hyponatremia - what are 2 symptoms
Hyponatremia is a medical condition defined by a low concentration of sodium in the blood—specifically below 135 mEq/L—which causes excess water to enter cells, resulting in swelling.
Nausea, vomiting, swelling, muscle cramps, confusion
300
What is atherosclerosis- what are 2 ways to prevent it?
Narrowing of artery walls which results in restricted blood flow - Healthy diet, exercise, avoid smoking, manage cholesterol

What U.S. fast food chain is credited with introducing the first drive-through window to the masses?
In-N-Out
400
What is the insertion point as a weightlifter performs an isotonic concentric contraction during a pullup?
Humerus

Explain the differences between the following proprioceptors, chemoreceptors, baroreceptors
Proprioceptors: detect changes in body position - tells your brain where your limbs are positioned
Baroreceptors: sense changes in pressure - specifically blood pressure
Chemoreceptors: monitor chemical changes in the blood - trigger responses if more oxygen is needed

List the energy systems used during exercise and in what order
1-ATP in muscle 2-4 seconds
2-Creatine phosphate system - 4-20 seconds
3-Lactic acid system - 20 seconds-2/3 minutes
4- Oxidative system - 2/3 minutes - as needed

Explain the difference between type 1 and type 2 diabetes:
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition where the pancreas produces little to no insulin, typically diagnosed in youth, requiring lifelong insulin therapy.
Type 2 diabetes is a metabolic condition involving insulin resistance, where cells don't respond to insulin, often managed with lifestyle changes and medication.
Type 2 is more common, accounting for 90-95% of cases

A weightlifter is performing a standard shoulder press movement. What is the agonist muscle and type of contraction is happening as he lowers the weight back down towards his head?
Deltoid, eccentric

Describe the pathway of blood through the left side of the heart
Pulmonary vein, left atrium, bicuspid (mitral) valve, left ventricle, aortic valve, aorta, to body
500
Explain the role of insulin and muscle contraction in glucose uptake during exercise
While insulin stimulates glucose uptake via receptor signaling, exercise allows muscle cells to take up glucose and use it as fuel regardless of insulin level
Insulin is used to regulate blood sugar as needed

Outline the differences between the CNS & PNS, what each one does& how hormones differ from reflexes
CNS - brain and spinal cord- processes information, initiates responses and controls thoughts and memories
PNS- everything that connects to brain and spinal cord -relays sensory information and motor commands to CNS
Hormones - slow to react, reflexes immediate reaction
