iGCSE Physical Education Chapter 1 Anatomy Quiz

Musculoskeletal System Components

• The musculoskeletal system consists of bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and cartilage.
• A key component not included in this system, such as connective tissue types that aren't ligaments or tendons, does not belong to the musculoskeletal system.

Red Blood Cell Production

• Red blood cells are primarily produced in the bone marrow, a vital function of the skeletal system.
• The liver and spleen also play roles in the production and regulation of blood cells, especially during fetal development.

Respiratory System Functions

• The primary function of the respiratory system is to facilitate gas exchange, supplying oxygen to the body and removing carbon dioxide.
• It also aids in regulating blood pH, producing sound for communication, and filtering and humidifying incoming air.

Joint Movements

• Movement at a joint can include various actions like flexion, extension, rotation, and abduction.
• Example of joint movement: bending at the elbow represents flexion, while straightening it is an example of extension.
