Cardiovascular, Respiratory, and Skeletal Systems Quiz

1. Select the wrong answer. (0.5 p)

Which of the following is *not* a function of the cardiovascular system?

• Transport of substances
• Clotting of wounds
• Temperature control

2. The cardiovascular system is made up of three main parts. Select the wrong answer. (0.5 p)

Which of these is *not* a main part of the cardiovascular system?

• The reast (Should be: Heart)
• Blood
• Blood vessels

3. While you are training, your heart beats... Select the right answer. (0.5 p)

(Question needs more context, e.g., "...your heart beats faster or slower?")

4. If you are X years old, what is your maximum heart rate? Select the right answer. (0.5 p)

Example Answer: 220 - 13 = 207 bpm

5. If I use a stopwatch and after 6 seconds I have counted X beats, what is your heart rate at this moment? Select the right answer. (0.5 p)

(Needs example calculation or options)

6. What exercises does a good warm-up consist of? Select the wrong answer. (0.5 p)

Warm-up: Gets your body ready for exercise.

1. Increases blood flow to the muscles so they can do the work later on in the training.
2. Stretches the muscles, moves the joints, and increases flexibility - so you're ready for the work and less likely to injure yourself.
3. Helps to improve the strength and speed of muscle contractions.
4. Concentrates the mind on the training.

7. Select the wrong example of gentle exercise. (0.5 p)

(Needs options to select from)

8. Select the wrong example of joint mobility. (0.5 p)

(Needs options to select from)

9. Complete the structure of the respiratory system: (0.5)

Trachea → Bronchi → Bronchioles → Alveoli

10. The respiratory system has two main functions. Select the wrong answer. (0.5 p)

Which of these is *not* a main function? "To introduce oxygenated air and expel carbon dioxide." (This is a correct function, so the question needs rephrasing or other options.)

11. Name the FIVE main functions of the Skeletal System. (0.5 p)

• Shape/Support
• Protection
• Movement
• Making blood cells
• Mineral storage

12. Draw lines to match each type of skill-related fitness to its definition. (0.5)

• Balance: The ability to maintain the center of mass over a base of support.
• Power: The result of speed and strength.

13. Explain how physical activity can help you to improve or maintain health. Provide examples. (1 p)

Example Answer: Physical activity helps improve cardiovascular health by strengthening the heart and improving blood circulation. For example, running regularly can lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of heart disease. It also helps maintain a healthy weight. For example, playing sports can burn calories and build muscle.

14. How many types of muscles do we have? Explain the main differences between them. (1 p)

We have three types of muscles:

1. Voluntary (Skeletal) Muscles: These adhere to the skeleton and are under conscious control. They help to move the body.
2. Involuntary (Smooth) Muscles: These work the internal organs without conscious effort. For example, the muscles of the blood vessels control the amount of blood that flows to the voluntary muscles.
3. Cardiac Muscle: This is a type of involuntary muscle that makes up the heart. It never gets tired and can pump blood throughout the body continuously. During exercise, voluntary muscles need oxygen to be able to move the body. When the heart beats, it pumps blood that carries oxygen to these muscles.
