  • 2. 

    The heart, arteries, and veins are part of the circulatory system.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The circulatory system consists of the heart, arteries, and veins. The heart pumps oxygenated blood through the arteries to various parts of the body, and the veins carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart. Therefore, it is correct to say that the heart, arteries, and veins are part of the circulatory system.

    BMR stands for:

    • Basic memory retention

    • Bad muscle recovery

    • Bregmatic myofascial release

    • Basal metabolic rate

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Basal metabolic rate
    Explanation
    BMR stands for Basal Metabolic Rate, which is the amount of energy expended by an individual at rest to maintain basic bodily functions such as breathing, circulation, and cell production. It represents the minimum amount of energy required to sustain life. BMR is influenced by factors such as age, gender, body composition, and activity level. Understanding one's BMR can be helpful in managing weight and designing an appropriate diet and exercise plan.

     Catabolism and anabolism are the two phases of metabolism.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Catabolism and anabolism are indeed the two phases of metabolism. Catabolism refers to the breakdown of complex molecules into simpler ones, releasing energy in the process. Anabolism, on the other hand, involves the synthesis of complex molecules from simpler ones, requiring energy input. These two processes work together to maintain the balance of energy and nutrients in the body, allowing for growth, repair, and other metabolic functions.

    The central nervous system is the only part of the nervous system.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The given statement is false. The central nervous system is not the only part of the nervous system. The nervous system consists of two main parts: the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The CNS includes the brain and spinal cord, while the PNS includes all the nerves that extend from the CNS to the rest of the body.

    Our muscles can produce ATP by which of the following pathways?

    • ATP/CP pathway

    • Glycolytic pathway

    • Oxidative pathway

    • All of the above

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    All of the pathways mentioned in the options - ATP/CP pathway, Glycolytic pathway, and Oxidative pathway - can produce ATP in our muscles. The ATP/CP pathway involves the breakdown of creatine phosphate to produce ATP, providing a rapid source of energy for short bursts of intense activity. The glycolytic pathway breaks down glucose to produce ATP, which is used during moderate-intensity activities. The oxidative pathway, also known as aerobic metabolism, utilizes oxygen to break down carbohydrates, fats, and proteins to produce ATP, providing sustained energy for long-duration activities. Therefore, all of these pathways contribute to ATP production in our muscles.

    The circulatory system consists of:

    • Lungs, mouth, throat, trachea and bronchi

    • Mouth,esophagus,stomach,and gallbladder

    • Heart, arteries, and veins

    • none of the above

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Heart, arteries, and veins
    Explanation
    The circulatory system consists of the heart, arteries, and veins. These three components work together to transport blood throughout the body. The heart pumps oxygenated blood from the lungs to the rest of the body through the arteries, while the veins carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart. This system ensures that oxygen and nutrients are delivered to all cells and removes waste products. The lungs, mouth, throat, trachea, bronchi, esophagus, stomach, and gallbladder are not part of the circulatory system, so they are not included in the correct answer.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    The ATP/CP pathway is sufficient for over four minutes of ATP production.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The ATP/CP pathway, also known as the phosphagen system, is a rapid but limited source of ATP production. It relies on the breakdown of creatine phosphate to generate ATP. However, the stores of creatine phosphate in the muscles are small and can only sustain ATP production for a short duration, typically around 10-15 seconds of intense activity. Therefore, it is incorrect to say that the ATP/CP pathway is sufficient for over four minutes of ATP production.

  • 9. 

    Cartilage is found:

    • At the end of ribs

    • Between vertebrae

    • At joint surfaces

    • In the nose and ears

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    Cartilage is a flexible connective tissue that is found in various parts of the body. It acts as a cushion between bones, providing support and reducing friction at joint surfaces. Cartilage is present at the end of ribs, between vertebrae in the spine, and in the nose and ears. Therefore, the correct answer is "all of the above" as cartilage is found in all of these locations.

    The musculoskeletal system consists of:

    • Bones and muscles

    • Bones,connective tissue, and muscles

    • Bones, joints, and muscle

    • Bones, joints, connective tissue, and muscles

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Bones, joints, connective tissue, and muscles
    Explanation
    The musculoskeletal system is responsible for providing support, stability, and movement to the body. It consists of bones, which form the framework of the body, joints, which allow for movement between bones, connective tissue, which holds the bones and joints together, and muscles, which provide the force needed for movement. Therefore, the correct answer is bones, joints, connective tissue, and muscles.

    Tendon connects bone to bone.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Tendons actually connect muscle to bone, not bone to bone. Tendons are tough, fibrous tissues that help transmit the force generated by muscles to the bones they are attached to, allowing movement to occur.

    Muscle glycogen is the primary fuel used during endurance exercise.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Muscle glycogen is an important fuel source during endurance exercise, but it is not the primary fuel used. The primary fuel used during endurance exercise is stored body fat. While muscle glycogen is utilized, it is not the primary source of energy during prolonged exercise.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    The primary fuel during endurance exercise is:

    • Liver glycogen

    • Muscle glycogen

    • Muscle

    • Fatty acids

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Fatty acids
    Explanation
    During endurance exercise, the body relies on fatty acids as the primary fuel source. This is because the body's glycogen stores, both in the liver and muscles, are limited and can be depleted relatively quickly. Fatty acids, on the other hand, provide a more sustainable and long-lasting source of energy. The body can break down stored fat and convert it into fatty acids to be used as fuel during prolonged exercise. Therefore, fatty acids are the preferred fuel source for endurance activities.

    Non-oxidative glycolysis is reliable for:

    • 3 to 15 seconds of ATP production

    • Up to 2 minutes of ATP production

    • Over four minutes of ATP production

    • None of the above

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Up to 2 minutes of ATP production
    Explanation
    Non-oxidative glycolysis is a metabolic pathway that allows for the production of ATP without the presence of oxygen. This pathway is efficient for short bursts of energy, such as during intense exercise or quick movements, lasting up to 2 minutes. After this time, the body typically relies on oxidative metabolism, which requires oxygen, for ATP production. Therefore, the correct answer is "Up to 2 minutes of ATP production."

    Rate this question:

  • 15. 

    Which of the following would be considered anaerobic metabolism?

    • ATP/CP pathway

    • Non-oxidative glycolytic pathway

    • Oxidative pathway

    • A & b

    • B & c

    Correct Answer
    A. A & b
    Explanation
    Anaerobic metabolism refers to the process of producing energy without the presence of oxygen. The ATP/CP pathway and the non-oxidative glycolytic pathway both fall under this category. The ATP/CP pathway relies on stored creatine phosphate to quickly generate ATP, while the non-oxidative glycolytic pathway involves the breakdown of glucose to produce ATP without the involvement of oxygen. Therefore, both options a and b would be considered anaerobic metabolism.
