‭PASS Notes‬ ‭Respiratory System‬ ‭ xygen is essential to keep the cells of the body in working order.‬ O ‭CO² is a waste product that is harmful to the body if it‬ ‭accumulates in the body.‬ ‭A constant flow of oxygen is critical in keeping the body’s cells‬ ‭working.‬ ‭→‬‭Parts of the Respiratory system‬ ‭‬ ‭The‬‭Airways‬‭: Includes the nose, mouth, pharynx,‬ ‭larynx, trachea, bronchi and bronchioles which‬ ‭work as tunnels to transport air to the lungs.‬ ‭‬ ‭The‬‭Lungs‬‭: Facilitate diffusion of oxygen into the‬ ‭bloodstream and receive carbon dioxide from‬ ‭blood.‬ ‭‬ ‭Muscles of Respiration‬‭: Includes the diaphragm which‬‭contracts to draw air in through‬ ‭the nose/mouth and relaxes to push carbon dioxide out.‬ ‭Component‬ ‭Structure‬ ‭Function‬ ‭Lungs‬ *‭ A pair of organs in the chest‬ ‭ xpand and contract to supply‬ E ‭* Each has an upper, middle and‬ ‭oxygen and rid the body of carbon‬ ‭lower lobe‬ ‭dioxide through gas exchange.‬ ‭* They are protected by the ribcage‬ ‭Bronchioles‬ *‭ The smaller passages that divide‬ ‭ rovides smaller, divided air‬ P ‭off from the bronchi‬ ‭passages that connect the bronchi‬ ‭to millions of alveoli‬ ‭Trachea‬ *‭ Made up of about 20 C-shaped‬ ‭ rovides structure that enables air‬ P ‭rings of cartilage that keeps the‬ ‭to be transported from the larynx‬ ‭windpipe open‬ ‭to the bronchi‬ ‭Alveoli‬ *‭ Millions of microscopic air sacs‬ ‭ llow for the exchange of oxygen‬ A ‭located in the lungs‬ ‭and carbon dioxide to and from the‬ ‭blood supply‬ ‭Bronchi‬ *‭ Two tubes‬ ‭ arries air from the trachea to the‬ C ‭* Branch off the trachea‬ ‭bronchioles in both the lungs‬ ‭* Has cartilage rings that keep it‬ ‭open‬ ‭ outh, Nose and‬ M *‭ Bone and cartilage that lead to the‬ T ‭ o warm, filter and moisten the‬ ‭Naval Cavity‬ ‭pharynx‬ ‭incoming air‬ ‭Component‬ ‭Structure‬ ‭Function‬ ‭Pharynx‬ *‭ The part of the throat starting at‬ ‭ For the digestive system, the‬ * ‭the nose and finishing at the voice‬ ‭muscular walls enable swallowing‬ ‭box (larynx)‬ ‭* For the respiratory system, it‬ ‭* It is part of both the respiratory‬ ‭provides the link for air to travel to‬ ‭and digestive systems‬ ‭the trachea‬ ‭Cilia‬ *‭ Hair-like structures found in the‬ ‭ elps us to keep airways clean of‬ H ‭respiratory tract‬ ‭dirt and mucus.‬ ‭Larynx‬ *‭ Made up of cartilage,‬ ‭ Keeps food and drink out of the‬ * ‭muscles,membranes, mucous‬ ‭airway during swallowing,‬ ‭membrane and ligaments‬ ‭preventing choking (with the help‬ ‭* It contains vocal cords‬ ‭of epiglottis)‬ ‭* Manages airflow when breathing‬ ‭and coughing‬ ‭* Manages the tone and pitch of‬ ‭the voice‬ ‭→‬‭How do we breathe?‬ ‭‬ ‭The respiratory system relies on‬ ‭the skeletal system system and‬ ‭muscular system to perform the‬ ‭function of breathing.‬ ‭‬ ‭Lungs are attached to ribs by‬ ‭suction‬ ‭‬ ‭Diaphragm is a round sheet of‬ ‭muscle that encloses the bottom of‬ ‭the rib-cage‬ ‭‬ ‭When inhaling, your diaphragm‬ ‭contracts and moves downward‬ ‭which allows the space to‬ ‭increase, helping your lungs expand into it.‬ ‭‬ ‭When we exhale, your diaphragm and ribs relax, this makes the space once available now‬ ‭too small so then it causes your lungs to deflate (like how a balloon does).‬ ‭‬ ‭Exchange of Gas: During inspiration (breathing in), the alveoli receive air HIGH‬ ‭OXYGEN (O2) and LOW in CARBON DIOXIDE (CO2). At the same time, blood‬ ‭arrives at the alveoli which is HIGH in CO2 and LOW in O2.‬ ‭-‬ ‭This creates a pressure difference allowing O2 to move from the alveoli to the‬ ‭blood, and CO2 to move from the blood to alveoli.‬ ‭→‬‭Cycle of Breathing‬ ‭1.‬ ‭Impulse is sent from the brain‬ ‭2.‬ ‭Impulse is received by muscles of the ribs and chest‬ ‭3.‬ ‭Muscles of the ribs and chest contract‬ ‭4.‬ ‭Ribs are pulled upwards and outwards‬ ‭5.‬ ‭Air rushes into the lungs‬ ‭→‬‭Contribution to Efficient Movement‬ ‭‬ ‭The‬‭partnership‬‭of the‬‭respiratory‬‭system and‬‭circulatory‬‭system is essential in‬ ‭delivering oxygen‬‭around the body.‬ ‭‬ ‭This is important for physical activity as it‬‭keeps‬‭the body functioning‬‭and allows the‬ ‭muscles to work efficiently‬‭.‬ ‭‬ ‭Oxygen‬‭enables‬‭cell function‬‭which ultimately‬‭generates‬‭energy‬‭for muscles to‬ ‭contract‬‭(without which movement would not occur)‬ ‭‬ ‭When energy is created in these cells, wastes such as‬‭carbon dioxide‬‭are also created.‬ ‭These‬‭wastes‬‭need to be‬‭expelled‬‭from the body via the‬‭respiratory‬‭system.‬ ‭‬ ‭Endurance sports rely on‬‭oxygen‬‭to‬‭sustain the long-term‬‭effort‬‭and‬‭energy‬‭required in‬ ‭these events.‬ ‭‬ ‭The‬‭more‬‭oxygen the body can‬‭consume and uptake‬‭, the‬‭greatest level of energy‬ ‭production, resulting in‬‭improved‬‭performance.‬ ‭‬ ‭Endurance‬‭performance ultimately‬‭depends‬‭on the body’s‬‭ability to take in oxygen,‬ ‭transport it to the muscles, use it and remove the carbon dioxide.‬ ‭→‬‭VO2 Max‬ ‭‬ V ‭ O2 Max stands for‬‭Maximal Oxygen Intake‬‭, which is‬‭the‬‭ability of the body‬‭to use‬ ‭oxygen efficiently‬‭. It can be used as an‬‭indication‬‭of fitness levels‬‭as the‬‭higher‬‭your‬ ‭VO2 max score‬‭, means the‬‭fitter‬‭you are.‬ ‭ ardiovascular System‬ C ‭The cardiovascular system, also known as the circulatory system, plays a crucial role in‬ ‭maintaining the body’s overall function and wellbeing.‬ ‭→ Cardio = Heart‬ ‭→ Vascular = Blood Vessels‬ ‭→ Circulatory = Movement around the body‬ ‭→‬‭Role of the Cardiovascular System‬ ‭‬ R ‭ espiration‬‭: delivers oxygen to the cells and removes‬‭carbon dioxide from them.‬ ‭‬ ‭Nutrient Transportation‬‭: carries digested food substances‬‭to the cells of the‬ ‭body.‬ ‭‬ ‭Waste Removal‬‭: disposal of waste products and poisons‬‭that would harm the‬ ‭body if they accumulated.‬ ‭‬ ‭Immunity‬‭: helps protect the body from disease.‬ ‭‬ ‭Cellular Communication‬‭: provides a mode of transport‬‭for hormones.‬ ‭‬ ‭Thermoregulation‬‭: transports heat to warm and cool‬‭the body. Stabilises body‬ ‭temperature.‬ ‭→‬‭Major Components of the Cardiovascular System‬ ‭1.‬ ‭THE HEART - Major muscle controlling the system‬ ‭‬ ‭The heart is an involuntary and cardiac muscle.‬ ‭‬ ‭Approximately the size of a fist and lies beneath the sternum, slightly to the‬ ‭left.‬ ‭‬ ‭The heart pumps (contracts), pushing the‬‭oxygenated‬‭blood‬‭around the‬ ‭body‬‭in order to deliver oxygen, essential nutrients‬‭and‬‭remove waste.‬ ‭‬ ‭The heart pumps (contracts), pushing the‬‭deoxygenated‬‭blood‬‭to the‬‭lungs‬ ‭to‬‭re- oxygenate‬‭the blood and remove carbon dioxide‬‭from the blood.‬ ‭2.‬ ‭BLOOD VESSELS‬ ‭‬ ‭Blood vessels are a network of tubes that carry blood to and from the heart,‬ ‭and all parts of the body.‬ ‭‬ ‭There are three main types of blood vessels; arteries, veins and capillaries‬ ‭→ The Arteries - Carrying blood away from the heart‬ ‭‬ ‭^ From the heart to the lungs (PULMONARY‬ ‭ARTERY)‬ ‭‬ ‭^ From the heart to the muscles and organs of‬ ‭the body (AORTA and ARTERIES)‬ ‭‬ H ‭ ave thick, muscular walls that contract to keep the blood moving.‬ ‭‬ ‭Need to withstand high pressure from the heart.‬ ‭→ Veins - Carries the blood to the heart‬ ‭‬ ‭^ From the organs of the body to the heart‬ ‭(VEINS and VENA CAVA)‬ ‭‬ ‭^ From the lungs to the heart‬ ‭(PULMONARY VEIN)‬ ‭‬ ‭Not as muscular as arteries, making the‬ ‭walls thinner.‬ ‭‬ ‭Contain valves which stop the blood from‬ ‭flowing backwards.‬ ‭→ Capillaries - Deliver nutrients and oxygen to the cells‬ ‭‬ ‭Remove waste products such as carbon dioxide.‬ ‭‬ ‭They are the connection between the arteries and veins.‬ ‭‬ ‭Extremely tiny and thin in order to allow this transfer.‬ ‭3.‬ ‭THE BLOOD - performs a wide variety of functions in the body.‬ ‭‬ ‭Circulates through the cardiovascular system, carrying oxygen, nutrients,‬ ‭hormones, immune cells and waste products.‬ ‭‬ ‭The four key parts of the blood are Red Blood Cells, White Blood Cells,‬ ‭Plasma and Platelets.‬ ‭‬ ‭For movement, blood is needed to transport energy and oxygen around the‬ ‭body and remove.‬ ‭ ‬‭Red Blood Cells (erythrocytes) - Carry the oxygen‬‭from the lungs to all tissues and organs‬ → ‭in the body.‬ ‭‬ ‭Contains a substance called‬‭HAEMOGLOBIN.‬ ‭‬ ‭The oxygen attaches to the haemoglobin in order for it to be transported to the‬ ‭organs of the body where it is released into the tissues.‬ ‭→‬‭White Blood Cells (leukocytes) - Form part of the‬‭immune system.‬ ‭‬ ‭White blood cells help fight infections in the body.‬ ‭‬ ‭They identify unwanted/unfamiliar cells in the body (e.g. bacteria, viruses) and‬ ‭attack them.‬ ‭ ‬‭Plasma (a liquid portion) - carries nutrients, hormones and waste products throughout the‬ → ‭body.‬ ‭‬ ‭Is a yellow-ish liquid component of blood‬ ‭‬ ‭Plasma helps with the exchange of gases, nutrients‬ ‭and waste products between the blood and body‬ ‭tissues through the capillaries.‬ ‭→‬‭Platelets (thrombocytes) - carried in the plasma.‬ ‭‬ ‭They are small cells with no nucleus.‬ ‭‬ ‭When a blood vessel is damaged, platelets gather at‬ ‭the site, forming a plug (scab)‬ ‭to stop excessive bleeding and blood loss.‬ ‭Component‬ ‭Role in functioning of the Heart‬ ‭Ventricles‬ ‭ ight ventricle: collects and pumps blood through the pulmonary‬ R ‭arteries‬ ‭ eft ventricle: Oxygen rich blood enters through the left side and‬ L ‭is pumped through the aorta to the body to supply tissues with‬ ‭oxygen‬ ‭Atrium‬ ‭ ight atrium: receives oxygen-poor blood from the body and‬ R ‭pumps it to the right ventricle‬ ‭ eft atrium: receives oxygen-rich blood from the lungs and‬ L ‭pumps it to the left ventricle‬ ‭Valves‬ ‭‬ S ‭ eparates chambers on each side‬ ‭‬ ‭Keeps blood moving the RIGHT way‬ ‭‬ ‭Four in the heart‬ ‭→‬‭The Hearts Contribution to Movement‬ ‭1.‬ ‭Blood Pressure‬ ‭-‬ ‭Blood pressure is the amount of force on the artery walls caused by pumping blood‬ ‭around the body through blood vessels‬ ‭2.‬ ‭Heart Rate‬ ‭-‬ ‭Trains your body to move oxygen and blood to your muscles more efficiently,‬ ‭burning more calories‬ ‭3.‬ ‭Stroke Volume‬ ‭-‬ ‭Increases stroke volume to deliver more oxygen and nutrients to muscles, supporting‬ ‭better performance and endurance‬ ‭4.‬ ‭Cardiac Output‬ ‭-‬ ‭Your heart typically beats faster so that more blood gets out to your body, providing‬ ‭more oxygen when exercising‬ ‭5.‬ ‭Oxygen Delivery‬ ‭-‬ ‭The heart extracts 60% of the blood's oxygen. The heart pumps oxygen-rich blood out‬ ‭to your body.The heart pumps faster to get more oxygen to the muscles during‬ ‭exercise.‬ ‭→‬‭10 Factors that affect your Heart and Pulse Rate‬ ‭1.‬ ‭Illness → change in your heart rate can occur‬ ‭2.‬ ‭Emotional Stress → releases hormones, heart beats faster‬ ‭3.‬ ‭Exercise → increased heart rate‬ ‭4.‬ ‭Breathing → heart rate tends to slow down during breath in‬ ‭5.‬ ‭Medication → some may increase it, others calm and slow it‬ ‭6.‬ ‭Body Temperature → heart rate quicken to cool or warm you up‬ ‭7.‬ ‭Glycogen Levels → lower levels = fatigue, heart rate increases for energy levels‬ ‭8.‬ ‭Cardiovascular Disease → muscle damage = decreasing or quickening pulse‬ ‭9.‬ ‭Dehydration → Blood thickens and waste clogs bloodstream, hart works harder to flush‬ ‭waste out‬ ‭10.‬‭Pressure → increased pressure causes blood pressure to change, heart often slows in‬ ‭response‬ ‭Skeletal System‬ ‭ he structure of the skeletal system is vital in creating support, stability and mobility for the human‬ T ‭body. Made up of 206 bones and connective tissue (cartilage, ligaments and tendons).‬ ‭→‬‭Role of Skeletal System‬‭:‬ ‭‬ ‭Support‬‭- The skeleton provides the framework which‬‭supports the body, allowing‬ ‭humans to maintain their shape. 206 bones, connected by joints, provide a frame‬ ‭‬ ‭Muscle Attachment‬‭- The bones provide an attachment‬‭surface of muscles, tendons and‬ ‭ligaments. Flat bones: large surface area, powerful muscles attach, long bones: levers.‬ ‭‬ ‭Movement‬‭- The skeleton provides leverage for a greater‬‭range of movements to occur.‬ ‭‬ P ‭ rotection of Organs‬‭- Protects many vital organs, including brain, spine, lungs and‬ ‭heart. E.g sternum, ribs and scapula protect the heart‬ ‭‬ ‭Blood Cell Production‬‭- the skeleton contains red‬‭bone marrow which is responsible for‬ ‭generating blood cells. Bone marrow, platelets, red & white blood cells.‬ ‭‬ ‭Mineral Storage‬‭- Bones store materials, particularly‬‭calcium and phosphorus, which are‬ ‭then used by the body. E.g calcium strengths bone and teeth.‬ ‭→‬‭The 2 Core Groups of the Human Skeleton:‬ ‭‬ ‭Axial‬‭Skeleton - Forms the central part of the body‬‭and protects the‬ ‭major organs.‬ ‭‬ ‭Appendicular‬‭Skeleton - Forms the upper and lower‬‭limbs, acts as‬ ‭framework for movement.‬ ‭→‬‭Types of Bones:‬ ‭‬ ‭Long Bone‬ ‭-‬ ‭Structure is dense, relatively large and longer than it is wide.‬ ‭-‬ ‭Function is to be a rigid rod for muscle attachment and facilitate a wide range of‬ ‭movement, large gross movements‬ ‭-‬ ‭Examples: Femur and Tibia (also radius, ulna, fibula, humerus)‬ ‭‬ ‭Short Bone‬ ‭-‬ ‭Is a small axis bone, and the same length and width.‬ ‭-‬ ‭Function is to facilitate stability and support with little movements, small,‬ ‭conscious and controlled movements.‬ ‭-‬ ‭Examples: Carpals and Tarsals‬ ‭‬ ‭Flat Bone‬ ‭-‬ ‭Structure: have a broad surface and are often thin, flat and curved.‬ ‭-‬ ‭Function is to protect the vital organs and act as an attachment for muscles.‬ ‭-‬ ‭Examples: Ribs, Sternum, Scapula and Cranium‬ ‭‬ ‭Irregular Bone‬ ‭-‬ ‭Have a unique and complex shape.‬ ‭-‬ ‭Has various structures depending on where it is located,offers protection to the‬ ‭body.‬ ‭-‬ ‭I.e Pelvis and Vertebrae → protects spinal cord‬ ‭‬ ‭Sesamoid Bone‬ ‭-‬ ‭Structure is small and often rounded, also embedded with tendons.‬ ‭-‬ ‭Function is to minimise friction, increase strength of associated muscles and also‬ ‭to support tendons from wear and tear.‬ ‭-‬ ‭Example: Patella‬ ‭→‬‭The Vertebral Column:‬ ‭‬ ‭Functions: Protect the spinal cord, support and stability of the body, movement, muscle and‬ ‭ligament attachment.‬ ‭‬ ‭The vertebral column is divided into 5 different regions:‬ ‭-‬ ‭Cervical spine:‬‭Located in the neck region, the cervical‬‭spine consists of seven vertebrae‬ ‭(C1-C7). It supports the weight of the head and allows for a wide range of motion,‬ ‭including nodding and rotation of the head.‬ ‭-‬ T ‭ horacic spine:‬‭The thoracic spine is situated in‬‭the upper and mid-back region and‬ ‭comprises twelve vertebrae (T1-T12). The thoracic vertebrae articulate with the ribs,‬ ‭forming the thoracic cage that protects the heart and lungs.‬ ‭-‬ L ‭ umbar spine:‬‭Positioned in the lower back, the lumbar‬‭spine consists of five vertebrae‬ ‭(L1-L5). The lumbar vertebrae are the largest and strongest of the spinal bones, providing‬ ‭stability and support for the body.‬ ‭-‬ S ‭ acral spine:‬‭The sacral spine is located in the pelvis‬‭and consists of five fused vertebrae‬ ‭(S1-S5). The sacrum forms the posterior wall of the pelvis and articulates with the hip‬ ‭bones (ilium).‬ ‭-‬ C ‭ occygeal spine:‬‭The coccygeal spine, also known as‬‭the coccyx or tailbone, is‬ ‭composed of four fused vertebrae. It provides attachment for various muscles and‬ ‭ligaments and supports the weight of the body when sitting.‬ *‭ SIDE NOTE:‬‭The vertebrae in the cervical and lumbar‬‭regions are different sizes as the weight of the‬ ‭body is more heavily reliant on the lumbar vertebrae. The lumbar vertebrae are larger because they hold‬ ‭more body weight. It also needs to provide stability and support. The cervical vertebrae are smaller as‬ ‭they only need to hold the weight of the head.‬ ‭→‬‭Words to know:‬ ‭‬ ‭Ligaments‬‭= fibrous straps which hold bones together.‬‭They are tough and aim to limit your‬ ‭joins from moving too far‬ ‭‬ ‭Cartilage‬‭= a hard rubbery substance found in between‬‭2 bones joining. Aims to stop bones‬ ‭rubbing together during movement‬ ‭‬ ‭Tendon‬‭= a fibrous connective tissue which attaches‬‭muscle to bone‬ ‭→‬‭Joints:‬ ‭‬ ‭A joint is the place where 2 or more bones meet‬ ‭‬ ‭Almost every bone in the body has formed at least one joint with another bone‬ ‭‬ ‭The purpose of joints is to provide movement and stability‬ ‭‬ ‭There are 3 types of joints:‬ ‭-‬ ‭Fibrous/immovable‬ ‭-‬ ‭Cartilaginous or slightly moveable‬ ‭-‬ ‭Synovial or freely moveable‬ ‭→‬‭Types of joints:‬ ‭‬ ‭Fibrous/immovable‬‭= Joints where no movement is possible,‬‭e.g. the bones of the skull. Bones‬ ‭held together by ligaments only.‬ ‭‬ ‭Cartilaginous or slightly moveable‬‭= Allow for small/limited‬‭movements as the bones‬ ‭compress slightly, e.g. between the vertebrae in the spine. Bones are connected by cartilage.‬ ‭‬ ‭Synovial or freely moveable‬‭= Main joints in the body,‬‭highly moveable, synovial capsule‬ ‭surrounds joints which hold fluid to lubricate the joint (knee), and has cartilage to protect the‬ ‭bones. Allow for maximum movement, e.g. knee, hip, shoulder, elbow, wrist, ankle joints.‬ ‭→‬‭Synovial Joints:‬ ‭‬ ‭Key Features:‬ ‭-‬ ‭They have a membrane that lines the outside of the‬ ‭joint and encloses fluid.‬ ‭-‬ ‭They contain synovial fluid which is within the joint‬ ‭capsule to absorb shock and reduce friction.‬ ‭-‬ ‭They rely on ligaments to hold the bones together‬ ‭and prevent dislocation.‬ ‭-‬ ‭They include cartilage which prevents the bones‬ ‭from rubbing together.‬ ‭→‬‭Synovial Joints - Types:‬ ‭‬ ‭Ball and Socket‬ ‭-‬ ‭Movements: Provide a wide range of movements in‬ ‭most directions.‬ ‭-‬ ‭Examples: Hips and Shoulders‬ ‭‬ ‭Hinge‬ ‭-‬ ‭Movements: Provides a forwards and backwards movement.‬ ‭-‬ ‭Examples: Elbows, Knees and Fingers‬ ‭‬ ‭Saddle‬ ‭-‬ ‭Movements: Provides movement forwards, backwards, side-to-side and circumduction.‬ ‭-‬ ‭Examples: Thumb‬ ‭‬ ‭Pivot‬ ‭-‬ ‭Movements: Allows for a rotation movement.‬ ‭-‬ ‭Examples: Neck, Forearm‬ ‭‬ ‭Condyloid‬ ‭-‬ ‭Movements: Similar to hinge joint, it provides movement forwards, backwards,‬ ‭side-to-side and circumduction.‬ ‭-‬ ‭Examples: Wrist‬ ‭‬ ‭Gliding/sliding‬ ‭-‬ ‭Movements: Produce a slight sliding movement‬ ‭-‬ ‭Examples: Between the vertebrae, between the wrist bones‬ ‭→‬‭Joint Movements:‬ ‭‬ ‭The movements that occur at the various joints in the body have specific names paired with‬ ‭actions.‬ ‭‬ ‭The muscles of the body will push and pull on the skeleton to produce these movements.‬ ‭→‬‭Examples of Joint Movements:‬ ‭‬ ‭Flexion and Extension‬ ‭-‬ ‭Flexion:‬‭Flexion means bending or decreasing the angle‬‭at a joint, e.g flexing at the‬ ‭elbow joint during the upward phase of a bicep curl.‬ ‭-‬ ‭Extension:‬‭Extension means straightening or increasing‬‭the angle at a joint, e.g‬ ‭straightening the knee joint when kicking a ball.‬ ‭‬ ‭Adduction and Abduction:‬ ‭-‬ ‭Adduction:‬‭Adduction means moving a body part‬‭towards‬‭the midline or centre of the‬ ‭body, e.g bringing the legs together at the hip joint during a star jump.‬ ‭-‬ ‭Abduction:‬‭Abduction means moving a body part away‬‭from the midline of the body, e.g‬ ‭moving the legs apart from the hip joint during a star jump.‬ ‭‬ ‭Plantarflexion and Dorsiflexion:‬ ‭-‬ ‭Plantarflexion:‬‭Plantarflexion means moving the toes‬‭away from the shin bone, e.g.‬ ‭pointing your toes towards the ground in ballet (ankle joint).‬ ‭-‬ ‭Dorsiflexion:‬‭Dorsiflexion means moving the toes towards‬‭the shin bone, e.g. pulling the‬ ‭toes towards the tibia when performing a hamstring stretch (ankle joint)‬ ‭‬ ‭Rotation and Circumduction:‬ ‭-‬ ‭Rotation:‬‭Rotation means turning or twisting a bone‬‭along its axis, e.g. a pirouette in‬ ‭ballet dancing.‬ ‭-‬ ‭Circumduction:‬‭Circumduction means moving a joint‬‭in a circular motion, e.g. bowling‬ ‭during cricket (shoulder joint).‬ ‭‬ ‭Pronation and Supination:‬ ‭-‬ P ‭ ronation:‬‭Pronation involves the rotation of the hand/forearm towards a ‘palm down’‬ ‭position, e.g. reaching forwards during Freestyle stroke.‬ ‭-‬ ‭Supination:‬‭Supination involves the rotation of the‬‭hand/forearm towards a ‘palm up’‬ ‭position, e.g. scooping up a ball in football.‬ ‭Term‬ ‭Definition‬ ‭Example‬ ‭ natomical‬ A ‭ person stands face forward, arms at the side,‬ A ‭Standing upright‬ ‭Position‬ ‭palms facing forward, feet pointing forward‬ ‭Medial‬ ‭Towards the midline of the body‬ ‭ esrt lies medial to the‬ H ‭lungs‬ ‭ nterior (or‬ A ‭ urther to the front (in front of)‬ F ‭ ternum is anterior to the‬ S ‭ventral)‬ ‭Anterior view = looking at the body from the front‬ ‭heart‬ ‭Lateral‬ ‭ orward the side of the body (away from midline)‬ F ‭ ungs lie lateral to the‬ L ‭Lateral view = looking at the body from the side‬ ‭heart‬ ‭ osterior (or‬ P ‭ urther to the back (in back of)‬ F ‭ eart is posterior to the‬ H ‭dorsal)‬ ‭Posterior view = looking at the body from behind‬ ‭sternum‬ ‭Superior‬ ‭Toward the head (upper or above)‬ ‭ eart is located superior to‬ H ‭the small intestine‬ ‭Inferior‬ ‭Toward the feet (lower or below)‬ ‭ he small intestine in‬ T ‭located inferior to the heart‬ ‭Proximal‬ ‭Closer to axial body (toward the trunk)‬ ‭ high is proximal to the‬ T ‭feet‬ ‭Distal‬ ‭Further from axial body (further from trunk)‬ ‭Foot is distal to the thigh‬ ‭Muscular System‬ ‭ he structure of the muscular system includes‬‭muscles,‬‭tendons and ligaments.‬‭These elements work‬ T ‭in coordination to facilitate voluntary and involuntary bodily movements.‬ ‭- VOLUNTARY MOVEMENT‬ ‭ oluntary muscle movement refers to the conscious control we have over certain muscles in our body.‬ V ‭These muscles are also known as skeletal muscles because they are attached to our bones and help us‬ ‭with movements. They are under the control of our somatic nervous system, which allows us to perform‬ ‭various activities like walking, talking, writing, and dancing.‬ ‭ ey Characteristics of Voluntary Muscle Movement:‬ K ‭1. Conscious Control:‬‭We can consciously decide when to contract or relax these muscles. For example,‬ ‭when we want to raise our hand, we send a signal from our brain to the specific muscle groups involved,‬ ‭causing them to contract and move the hand.‬ 2‭. Fatigability:‬‭Voluntary muscles can become fatigued‬‭when used for extended periods without rest.‬ ‭They require adequate rest and recovery to function optimally.‬ ‭ xamples of Voluntary Muscle Movement:‬ E ‭1.‬‭Walking‬‭: The coordinated contraction and relaxation‬‭of various muscles in our legs and feet allow us‬ ‭to walk.‬ ‭2.‬‭Speaking‬‭: The muscles involved in speech production,‬‭such as those in the tongue, lips, and vocal‬ ‭cords, are under voluntary control.‬ ‭3.‬‭Writing‬‭: The precise movements of the muscles in‬‭our fingers, hands, and arms are responsible for‬ ‭writing.‬ ‭- INVOLUNTARY MOVEMENT‬ I‭ nvoluntary muscle movement refers to the movements that occur without our conscious control. These‬ ‭muscles are found in various organs and tissues throughout our body, including the digestive system,‬ ‭blood vessels, and respiratory system. They are controlled by the autonomic nervous system, which‬ ‭operates largely unconsciously.‬ ‭ ey Characteristics of Involuntary Muscle Movement:‬ K ‭1. Unconscious Control:‬‭Involuntary muscles are not‬‭under our conscious control. They are regulated by‬ ‭the autonomic nervous system, which functions automatically and involuntarily.‬ 2‭. Sustained Contractions:‬‭Involuntary muscles can‬‭maintain contractions for prolonged periods,‬ ‭enabling them to perform vital functions continuously.‬ ‭ xamples of Involuntary Muscle Movement:‬ E ‭1.‬‭Heartbeat‬‭: The cardiac muscles in the heart contract‬‭and relax rhythmically without our conscious‬ ‭control, allowing the heart to pump blood throughout the body.‬ ‭2.‬‭Digestion‬‭: The muscles in our digestive system,‬‭including the smooth muscles in the stomach and‬ ‭intestines, contract involuntarily to propel food along the digestive tract.‬ ‭3.‬‭Breathing‬‭: The diaphragm and intercostal muscles‬‭responsible for breathing operate involuntarily,‬ ‭adjusting the rhythm and depth of our breaths based on the body's needs.‬ I‭ t's important to note that while voluntary and involuntary muscle movements are distinct, some‬ ‭movements, like blinking or swallowing, involve both voluntary and involuntary muscle actions‬ ‭working together.‬ ‭→‬‭Types of muscles:‬ ‭‬ ‭Skeletal Muscle: These muscles are attached to the skeleton and cause movement as they‬ ‭contract and relax. They are generally under conscious control (VOLUNTARY MUSCLES). The‬ ‭specialised tissue that is attached to bones and allows movement. Together, skeletal muscles and‬ ‭bones are called the musculoskeletal system (locomotor system). Generally speaking, skeletal‬ ‭muscle is grouped into opposing pairs such as the biceps and triceps on the front and back of the‬ ‭upper arm. Skeletal muscles are under our conscious control, which is why they are voluntary‬ ‭muscles. Another term is striated muscles, since the tissue looks striated when viewed under a‬ ‭microscope.‬ ‭‬ C ‭ ardiac Muscle: This type of muscle is located solely in the heart. The muscle specific to the‬ ‭heart. The heart contracts and relaxes without our conscious awareness. The muscle contracts‬ ‭and relaxes, causing the heart to beat. This movement is unconscious (INVOLUNTARY‬ ‭MUSCLE).‬ ‭‬ S ‭ mooth Muscle: These muscles are located in the walls of the blood vessels and internal organs.‬ ‭Located in various internal structures including the digestive tract, uterus and blood vessels such‬ ‭as arteries. Smooth muscle is arranged in layered sheets that contract in waves along the length‬ ‭of the structure. Another common term is involuntary muscle, since the motion of smooth muscle‬ ‭happens without our conscious awareness. These muscles cannot be controlled‬ ‭(INVOLUNTARY MUSCLES).‬ ‭→‬‭What are skeletal muscles made of?‬ ‭‬ ‭Skeletal muscles are long and thin and contain fibres that are clustered together. Each fibre is‬ ‭about as thick as a hair but much stronger.

It also provides stability in our ability to balance and remain upright.‬ ‭2.‬ ‭Absorption:‬‭the muscles help absorb shock during movement‬‭and activity that could otherwise‬ ‭damage the skeletal system. It also absorbs heat.‬ ‭3.‬ ‭Breathing:‬‭our breathing is controlled by muscles‬‭working together to pull air into the body and‬ ‭push it out through the nose and mouth.‬ ‭4.‬ ‭Protection:‬‭The layers and layers of skeletal muscle‬‭helps provide a protective barrier for the‬ ‭internal organs, minimising shock and damage.‬ ‭5.‬ ‭Digestion of Food:‬‭The muscles work to break down‬‭the foods we eat and pass them through the‬ ‭body.‬ ‭- ALL ABOUT THE MUSCLES‬ ‭Research the following factors and understand how they contribute to muscle growth.‬ ‭Factor‬ ‭Contribution to Muscle Growth‬ ‭Genetics‬ ‭★‬ ‭Genetics can influence an individual's potential for muscle‬ ‭growth‬ ‭★‬ ‭While everyone can build muscle through proper training and‬ ‭nutrition, genetics can determine factors like muscle fiber‬ ‭composition and overall response to training‬ ‭Resistance Training‬ ‭★‬ ‭Resistance against muscle → putting muscles under strain‬ ‭Proper Nutrition‬ ★ ‭ ‬ ‭Eating properly → substantial meals, eating after training‬ ‭★‬ ‭Not eating too much of one thing → balanced nutritional intake‬ ‭★‬ ‭Fuels training → rip, tear and recovery, aids muscle growth‬ ‭★‬ ‭Caloric surplus → eating above calorie intake in order to grow‬ ‭muscle‬ ‭Progressive Overload‬ ‭★‬ ‭Progressively increasing workload in order to continue growth‬ ‭of muscles → increasing weight, number of times at gym, reps‬ ‭Rest and Recovery‬ ★ ‭ ‬ ‭Letting muscles rest → prevent injury; muscle tears or strains‬ ‭★‬ ‭Not exercising when injured‬ ‭★‬ ‭Aid recovery, prevent overworking‬ ‭Hydration‬ ★ ‭ ‬ ‭Water supports muscle growth‬ ‭★‬ ‭Water aids performance‬ ‭Training Variability‬ ‭★‬ ‭Changing up sets every couple of weeks → keeps training‬ ‭engaging and encourages individual to keep going‬ ‭★‬ ‭Different exercises work different areas → prevents plateauing‬ ‭ onsistency and‬ C ‭★‬ ‭Staying consistent and patient to see progression → will not be‬ ‭Patience‬ ‭achieved instantly‬ ‭★‬ ‭Regular training and consistency‬ ‭★‬ ‭Balanced diet with protein which aids muscle growth‬ ‭→‬‭Origin and Insertion‬ ‭Origin‬‭= relatively the less moveable end of the muscle‬‭that is attached to the bone.

This suggests that what you put into your body is what you will get out‬ T ‭of it. If you eat healthy foods you will look and feel much better. You will also have more energy to‬ ‭engage in physical activity, play sports and enjoy life.‬ ‭ hen you exercise you use up more energy than when you are resting. Energy comes into the body in‬ W ‭the form of‬‭food and drink‬‭. Energy comes from foods‬‭that‬‭contain carbohydrates, proteins and fats.‬ ‭ arbohydrates are the body’s main source of energy.‬‭They are broken down into‬‭glucose‬‭, which‬ C ‭is then used by the body's cells to produce energy. However, not all carbohydrates are the same‬ ‭when it comes to how quickly they are broken down and their impact on blood sugar levels.‬ ‭The glycemic index (GI) is a scale that ranks carbohydrates based on how quickly they raise‬ ‭blood sugar levels compared to a reference food, usually glucose or white bread. High GI foods‬ ‭are those that are quickly digested and absorbed, causing a rapid increase in blood sugar‬ ‭levels. These foods provide a‬‭quick burst‬‭of energy‬‭but can lead to a‬‭subsequent drop‬‭in energy‬ ‭levels once the blood sugar spike subsides.‬ ‭ n the other hand,‬‭low GI foods are digested and absorbed‬‭more slowly‬‭, resulting in a‬‭slower‬ O ‭and‬‭more sustained‬‭release of glucose into the bloodstream.‬‭This leads to a more gradual rise‬ ‭in blood sugar levels and‬‭provides longer-lasting‬‭energy.‬‭Low GI foods are generally considered‬ ‭better for maintaining stable energy levels and overall health.‬ ‭ xamples of high GI foods include white bread, white rice, sugary cereals, and processed snacks.‬ E ‭Examples of low GI foods include whole grains, legumes, fruits, and vegetables. It's important to note‬ ‭that the‬‭GI‬‭of a food can be‬‭influenced by various‬‭factors, such as cooking methods, ripeness, and‬ ‭processing.‬ ‭ hoosing‬‭low GI foods‬‭as part of a balanced diet can‬‭help‬‭regulate blood sugar levels, provide sustained‬ C ‭energy, and contribute to overall health and well-being.‬‭However, it's also essential to consider other‬ ‭factors such as nutrient content, fibre, and overall dietary balance when making food choices.‬ ‭ hen an athlete is playing sport or exercising, they need to‬‭balance the amount of energy going‬ W ‭into their body with the amount of energy going out of it.‬‭The energy going in (via the food and‬ ‭drink) is called‬‭energy intake.‬‭The energy being used‬‭up in the process of exercising is called‬ ‭energy expenditure.‬‭If your energy intake is more‬‭than your energy expenditure, then you will‬ ‭put on weight. This is because you are not using the energy you are putting into your body, so‬ ‭your‬‭body stores it in the form of fat.‬ ‭Energy and movement‬ ‭Use the word bank to complete the following text.

First, let us take a closer‬ A ‭look at the three major nutrients.‬ ‭Carbohydrates‬ ‭-‬ C ‭ arbohydrates‬‭are an ideal source of‬‭fuel‬‭for the‬‭body, and are the main nutrient which fuel‬ ‭exercise‬‭of moderate to high intensity.‬ ‭-‬ C ‭ arbohydrates can be easily broken down into‬‭glucose‬‭,‬‭a form of‬‭sugar‬‭that is easily used by the‬ ‭body. This breakdown of glucose is called‬‭glycolysis‬‭.‬ ‭-‬ A ‭ ny glucose not needed immediately gets stored in the‬‭muscles‬‭and the liver in the form of‬ ‭glycogen‬‭. Once these glycogen stores are filled up,‬‭any extra gets stored as‬‭fat‬‭.‬ ‭-‬ ‭EXAMPLE : In what types of foods will you find carbohydrates? (‬‭pasta‬‭,‬‭bread‬‭,‬‭potato‬‭,)‬ ‭Fats‬ ‭-‬ ‭Fats are the main source of‬‭energy‬‭for long and‬‭low‬‭to‬‭moderate‬‭exercise, such as cycling.‬ ‭ ats are not used initially when supplying‬‭energy‬‭,‬‭as‬‭oxygen‬‭is needed to break down fats; so it takes‬ F ‭time for fat to be converted into‬‭energy‬‭.‬ ‭ oods‬‭high‬‭in fat stay in the‬‭stomach‬‭for a long period‬‭of time and as such can become detrimental to‬ F ‭performance if consumed too close to competition.‬ ‭The major‬‭energy‬‭component from fats in the body is‬‭triglycerides‬‭, which aids in insulating the body.‬ ‭ riglycerides‬‭need to be broken down, through a process‬‭called‬‭lipolysis‬‭, into glycerol and free fatty‬ T ‭acids to provide‬‭energy‬‭for activity.‬ ‭ hese free fatty acids are then broken down into‬‭glucose‬‭,‬‭which requires‬‭oxygen‬‭. This process is also‬ T ‭known as oxidation.

(‬‭oil‬‭,‬‭butter‬‭,‬‭cheese‬‭)‬ ‭Proteins‬ ‭ nder normal conditions, protein is not used to produce‬‭ATP‬‭. However, during extreme conditions (for‬ U ‭example, starvation or prolonged exercise),‬‭protein‬‭will be used as a‬‭fuel‬‭source for ATP if all the‬‭fats‬ ‭and‬‭carbohydrates‬‭have been exhausted.‬ I‭ f protein was used as‬‭energy‬‭this would stress the‬‭kidneys‬‭because they have to work harder to‬ ‭eliminate the by-products of this‬‭protein‬‭breakdown.‬‭Proteins are primarily used for repairing and‬ ‭rebuilding‬‭muscles‬‭used during‬‭exercise‬‭.‬ ‭ trength‬‭athletes, such as weightlifters, require‬‭more protein than‬‭endurance‬‭athletes, such as‬ S ‭marathon runners, and the average adult due to the isolated muscle use.‬ ‭ fter‬‭digestion‬‭and‬‭absorption‬‭, proteins are broken‬‭down into amino acids and stored in‬‭fat‬ A ‭around the body.‬ ‭In what types of foods will you find protein? (‬‭meat‬‭,‬‭dairy products‬‭,‬‭nuts‬‭)‬ ‭ o, think of it like this – The engine (our muscles) and fuel (energy systems) move a car. No‬ S ‭fuel, no movement. The energy system (fuel) keeps the engine going (muscles). However, it is‬ ‭not quite as easy as filling up the car and driving – it is a little more complex than that.‬ ‭Role of ATP/CP System Notes:‬ ‭-‬ ‭ATP = Adenosine triphosphate‬ ‭-‬ ‭CP = creatine phosphate‬ ‭-‬ ‭Resynthesis: the process of ATP, multiplying every 6 seconds‬ ‭-‬ ‭Anaerobic system → no oxygen required‬ ‭-‬ ‭Fuel source is creatine phosphate → created in muscles‬ ‭-‬ ‭Energy system recovers after about 3 minutes‬ ‭-‬ ‭Used in sports requiring explosive power‬ ‭-‬ ‭Creatine phosphate is broken down to provide the energy required‬ ‭-‬ ‭One CP molecule produces one new ATP molecule‬ ‭-‬ ‭Benefits:‬ ‭‬ ‭CP is stored in the muscle so it is readily available to use‬ ‭‬ ‭No oxygen is required → system can get going quicker‬ ‭‬ ‭Simple reaction means that energy production can happen very quickly‬ ‭‬ ‭No negative by-products‬ ‭-‬ ‭Disadvantages:‬ ‭‬ T ‭ here is only enough CP in the ,muscles to sustain this system for approximately‬ ‭10-seconds of work‬ ‭The Three Energy Systems‬ ‭ o enable human movement, the three energy systems come into play. These systems are‬ T ‭called the ATP-PC, lactic acid (also known as the glycolytic system) and the aerobic system.‬ ‭Summary of the Energy Systems‬ ‭1. ATP-PC system:‬ ‭‬ ‭During the initial moments of intense exercise or activity, the body primarily relies on the‬ ‭ATP-PC system.‬ ‭‬ ‭The ATP-PC system utilises stored phosphocreatine (PC) in the muscles to rapidly regenerate‬ ‭ATP.‬ ‭‬ ‭This system provides immediate energy for short bursts of high-intensity activity.‬ ‭‬ ‭However, the ATP-PC system has limited stores and can only sustain activity for a few seconds‬ ‭to a maximum of 10-15 seconds.‬ ‭Movement examples:‬‭Discuss, shot put, kicking a ball,‬‭javelin‬ ‭2. Lactic system:‬ ‭‬ ‭As the ATP-PC system depletes, the body shifts to the glycolytic system to continue supplying‬ ‭energy.‬ ‭‬ ‭The glycolytic system utilises stored glucose or glycogen (carbohydrates) to produce ATP.‬ ‭‬ ‭This process can occur in the absence of oxygen (anaerobic) and results in the production of‬ ‭lactic acid as a byproduct.‬ ‭‬ ‭The glycolytic system is predominant during activities lasting from around 30 seconds to a few‬ ‭minutes.‬ ‭‬ ‭However, it is less efficient in terms of ATP production compared to the ATP-PC system and can‬ ‭lead to fatigue due to the accumulation of lactic acid.‬ ‭Movement examples:‬‭400m sprint, weight lifting, long‬‭jump‬ ‭3. Aerobic System:‬ ‭‬ ‭During prolonged or lower-intensity activities, the body relies on the aerobic system for energy‬ ‭production.‬ ‭‬ ‭The aerobic system uses oxygen to break down carbohydrates, fats, and proteins into ATP‬ ‭through a process called cellular respiration.‬ ‭‬ ‭This system is the most efficient in terms of ATP production, but it requires a constant supply of‬ ‭oxygen.‬ ‭‬ T ‭ he aerobic system is the primary energy source for activities lasting more than a few minutes.‬ ‭‬ ‭It can sustain activity for a long duration but has a slower ATP production rate compared to the‬ ‭other systems.‬ ‭Movement examples:‬‭jogging, triathlon, marathon, any‬‭endurance events‬ ‭ emember, the body doesn't transition abruptly from one energy system to another. Instead,‬ R ‭there is a continuous interplay between these systems, with the contribution of each system‬ ‭depending on the demands of the activity. For example, in activities like interval training, there‬ ‭may be repeated shifts between the ATP-PC and glycolytic* systems.‬ ‭*Glycolytic means:‬‭lactic‬‭change‬ ‭ACTIVITY‬ ‭ sing the table written earlier as a guide let's see if you can describe how the energy system functions‬ U ‭during the following sports:‬ 1‭ 500m race (from start to finish)‬ ‭1500m takes around 10 minutes to run. Because of this, it uses the aerobic system. The body uses‬ ‭glycogen to gain initial energy and will use fats and proteins as the exercise continues. The by-products‬ ‭of running the 1500m race includes carbon dioxide in the form of breathing out and water in the form of‬ ‭sweat. Due to it using the aerobic system, the recovery after a 1500m race would be 2-3 days. As it is an‬ ‭aerobic pathway, it requires oxygen.‬ ‭Playing tennis (for 30 minutes from start to finish)‬ ‭Playing tennis, or any other activity, for 30 minutes from start to finish is considered to use the aerobic‬ ‭system. The body uses glycogen from carbohydrates for energy at first, before using fats and proteins as‬ ‭the exercise continues. The by-products created after playing tennis for 30 minutes include carbon‬ ‭dioxide in the form of breathing out and water in the form of sweat. Due to it using the aerobic system,‬ ‭an individual's recovery would be 2-3 days. As it is an aerobic pathway, it requires oxygen.‬ ‭ winging a golf club (once)‬ S ‭Swinging a golf club just once uses the ATP/CP system, as it is a short, quick, high-intensity movement.‬ ‭The body requires creatine phosphate (CP) for energy, and therefore needs 2 minutes to recover.‬ ‭DURATION IS KEY TO WHICH SYSTEM IS USED‬ ‭ uring a soccer match, the body utilises‬‭all three‬‭energy systems‬‭to‬‭support movement‬‭and‬ D ‭performance‬‭. Remember the energy systems‬‭do not work‬‭alone‬‭.‬ ‭ t the beginning of the match or during‬‭intense bursts‬‭of activity, such as a sprint or a quick change of‬ A ‭direction, the ATP-PC system‬‭comes into play. For‬‭example, when a player makes a sudden sprint to‬ ‭chase down the ball or execute a quick dribble past opponents, the‬‭ATP-PC‬‭system‬‭rapidly supplies the‬ ‭required energy for these explosive movements.‬ ‭ s the match progresses and players engage in‬‭continuous‬‭running‬‭, passing, and defending, the‬‭lactic‬ A ‭system‬‭becomes more prominent. This system‬‭breaks‬‭down stored glucose or glycogen‬‭to provide ATP‬ ‭for sustained efforts. For instance, when players engage in repeated sprints, perform quick accelerations,‬ ‭or execute powerful shots on goal, the‬‭lactic system‬‭contributes to ATP production.‬‭However, it also‬ ‭leads to the accumulation of lactic acid‬‭, which may‬‭contribute to muscle fatigue and a decrease in‬ ‭performance over time.‬ ‭ hroughout the entire soccer match, the‬‭aerobic system‬‭plays a crucial role in providing a‬ T ‭constant supply of ATP for‬‭endurance and continuous‬‭movement‬‭. It utilises‬‭oxygen to break‬ ‭down‬‭carbohydrates, fats, and proteins‬‭, supporting‬‭the energy demands of‬‭jogging, running,‬ ‭and maintaining a consistent level of activity throughout the game.‬‭The aerobic system is‬ ‭especially vital during the‬‭less intense periods‬‭of‬‭the match, such as during slower jog-like‬ ‭movements or when players maintain their positions on the field.‬ ‭ verall, the body‬‭seamlessly transitions between these‬‭energy systems‬‭during a soccer match,‬ O ‭with the ATP-PC system supporting explosive movements, the lactic system contributing to‬ ‭bursts of high-intensity actions, and the aerobic system providing sustained energy for endurance and‬ ‭continuous movement. The specific contribution of each energy system depends on factors such as the‬ ‭intensity of play, player positions, playing style, and individual fitness levels.‬ ‭Activity‬ ‭ uscles and Their Energy Systems‬ M ‭What is the difference between a voluntary muscle and an involuntary muscle?
