Flashcards

Exercise Response

The body's response to exercise involves several physiological changes, including increased breathing and heart rate, as well as changes in energy utilization.

Synovial Fluid Production

Synovial fluid acts as a lubricant in joints, reducing friction during movement. Exercise increases its production, promoting smoother joint function.

Increased Mineral Uptake

Exercise leads to the body absorbing more minerals, particularly calcium, to strengthen bones and prevent fractures.

Increased Blood Supply

During exercise, more blood flows to working muscles, delivering oxygen and nutrients for energy production.
