The body
Across
- 3. (6,11)As your muscles warm up during your workout, blood circulating through the muscles is also warmed, producing a rise in core temperature.
- 6. (10)the way in which a living organism or bodily part functions.
- 9. (10)a cell which secretes the substance of bone.
- 11. (5,5) a very small tear in a tendon or cell
- 14. (8,5)Synovial fluid is produced in the spaces between certain joints to help reduce friction and facilitate movement between articular cartilages.
- 19. (8) a substance deposited in bodily tissues as a store of carbohydrates.
- 20. (7,8) the maximum amount of oxygen a person can utilize during intense exercise.
- 23. (9)the state of being thick, sticky, and semi-fluid in consistency, due to internal friction.
- 24. (16)Vasoconstriction is the narrowing of the blood vessels resulting from contraction of the muscular wall of the vessels, in particular the large arteries and small arterioles.
- 26. (7,6)It is an striated muscle that constitutes the main tissue of the walls of the heart.
- 27. (4,1,6,5)Type I fibers are used in lower-intensity exercises such as very light resistance work aimed at muscular endurance and long-duration aerobic activities such as 5K and 10K runs.
- 28. (4,11) Bone remodeling is a lifelong process where mature bone tissue is removed from the skeleton and new bone tissue is formed.
- 29. (8,6)The human skeleton is the internal framework of the human body.
- 30. (4,3,6,5)Type IIa muscle fibers are fast twitch, meaning they fire more quickly.
Down
- 1. (6,5) cells that make up skeletal muscles and are composed of numerous myofibrils that contract when stimulated.
- 2. (5,4) Blood flow refers to the movement of blood through the vessels from arteries to the capillaries and then into the veins.
- 4. (6)A protective sheath known as the synovium covers tendons. This sheath produces synovial fluid, which keeps the tendon lubricated.
- 5. (10)a large multinucleate bone cell which absorbs bone tissue during growth and healing.
- 7. (11) is an increase in the amount of organic tissue that results from cell proliferation.
- 8. (9,12) A compound consisting of an adenosine molecule bonded to three phosphate groups, present in all living tissue.
- 10. (11,4) Contractions are considered regular when the duration and frequency are stable over a period of time.
- 12. (8) Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body, found in the bones, muscles, skin, and tendons.
- 13. (7) A mineral found mainly in the hard part of bones, where it is stored.
- 15. (12)Vasodilation is the widening of blood vessels.
- 16. (8) a short band of tough, flexible fibrous connective tissue which connects two bones or cartilages or holds together a joint.
- 17. (11,5) Muscle contraction is the activation of tension-generating sites within muscle fibers.
- 18. (4,3,6,5)These are even faster and more powerful than type IIa. They are also even more inefficient, fatiguing very quickly.
- 21. (9,7) The tiny blood vessels throughout the body that connect arteries and veins.
- 22. (7) extreme tiredness resulting from mental or physical exertion or illness.
- 25. (12) a medical condition in which the bones become brittle and fragile from loss of tissue, typically as a result of hormonal changes, or deficiency of calcium or vitamin D.
