Exam Preparation
Across
- 4. is the energy source for all muscular effort
- 6. is a thin filament that attaches to the Z line
- 8. where both actin and myosin are found. It equates with the length of the myosin filaments
- 10. is released as a by-product of physical exertion
- 12. muscles where the origin (the attachment to a fixed bone, usually the proximal attachment) is wider than the point of insertion
- 13. is a thick filament situated between each of the actin filaments
- 17. capacity of an individual's body to transport and utilise oxygen
- 18. the portion of oxygen required to remove lactic acid from the muscle cells and blood
- 19. is the state in which oxygen supply equals oxygen demand
- 22. ___________ Each muscle fibre is made up of long strands called
- 23. the capacity in which an individual can perform activities without utilising oxygen
- 24. ____________continue to detach and reattach themselves from the actin filaments, shortening the sarcomere
- 25. ________ is the amount of oxygen consumed during the recovery period
- 26. the portion of oxygen required to synthesise and restore muscle phosphagen stores (ATP and PC)
Down
- 1. is taken into the body via the respiratory system
- 2. _________ is broken down, producing ATP and energy for muscular contraction.
- 3. Fascicles are short and they attach obliquely to a central tendon
- 4. an immediate response to an exercise session
- 5. muscles where the origin (the attachment to a fixed bone, usually the proximal attachment) is wider than the point of insertion
- 7. where only actin is found
- 9. a long term response or adaptation to a number of exercise sessions, constituting a training program
- 11. A decreased capacity to perform a maximum voluntary muscle action or a series of repetitive muscle actions
- 14. responsible for contracting the muscle
- 15. Aerobically trained muscle also has a greater capacity to process ___________ for fuel
- 16. Oxygen uptake ____________ linearly, or in proportion to increases in heart rate and exercise intensity
- 20. is the state in which there is a discrepancy (shortfall) between oxygen supply and demand and the oxygen needed to meet the energy requirements of the activity.
- 21. where only myosin is found
- 24. Oxygen is distributed to muscles by the __________ system
