- 5. The cardiac muscle is a type of muscle tissue, it can only be found in the heart and is a specialized type of muscle tissue. (7,6)
- 10. Calcium is an essential mineral for bone growth. (7)
- 11. Fatigue is a very great tiredness. (7)
- 13. The contraction force is the strength of a muscular contraction. (11,5)
- 15. Vasodilation is the dilation of blood vessels which therefore decreases the blood pressure. (12)
- 18. Type I muscle fibre is one of many types of muscle fibres found in the skeletal muscle. These are also known as slow twitch fibers due to their slow contraction. (4,1,6,5)
- 19. Adenosine Triphosphate is a molecule that carries energy within cells. It forms the energy reserve and is abbreviated to ATP. (9,12)
- 20. The skeletal system is made up many different bones, joints and cartilages. (8,6)
- 23. Physiology is the study of the way the body responds to exercise and training. (10)
- 24. A tendon is a band of fibrous connective tissue, its function is to connect the muscles to the bone. Tendons are made of collagen and are able to withstand tension. (6)
- 25. Muscle fibre consists of a single muscle cell which helps to control the physical forces within the body. (6,5)
- 26. Vasoconstriction is the constriction of blood vessels which increases the blood pressure. (16)
- 27. Collagen is the main structural protein found in the skin and other connective tissues. (8)
- 28. Osteoblast is a cell that builds new bone. (10)
- 29. Synovial fluid is the fluid secreted by a synovial membrane to lubricate a joint. (8,5)
- 30. Blood flow is the continuous circulation of blood in the cardiovascular system. (5,4)
Down
- 1. The contraction time is the speed in which it takes a muscle to contract. (11,4)
- 2. A ligament is a fibrous band of connective tissues which connects together two bones to another bone or cartilages or holds together a joint. (8)
- 3. Type IIx are muscle fibers that are rapidly contracted and become active during high intensity training. (4,3,6,5)
- 4. Micro-tears are microscopic tears in the muscle due to exercise. (5,5)
- 6. Glycogen is a substance deposited in bodily tissues as a form of storage of carbohydrates. (8)
- 7. The muscle temperature is the amount of work your muscles produce which relates to the heat produced. (6,11)
- 8. The capillary network is an interweaving bed of capillaries supplying tissue such as muscle. (9,7)
- 9. Hyperplasia is the enlargement of an organ or tissue which is caused by an increase of cells reproduction rate. (11)
- 12. Maximal exercise is the level of training intensity when an athlete approaches their maximal heart rate. (7,8)
- 14. Viscosity is how thick a fluid is affecting its resistance to flow. (9)
- 16. Bone remodelling is a continuous process of bone resorption and formation for the purpose of maintaining a normal bone mass. (4,11)
- 17. Type IIa is also known as fast twitch muscle fibers, this is best when doing explosive body movements however means you will tire out quickly. (4,3,6,5)
- 21. Osteoclast is a cell which destroys bone. (10)
- 22. Osteoporosis is a medical condition in which the bones become brittle and fragile from the loss of tissue. (12)
