During a game of basketball vascular shunting takes place.
Describe what happens to blood flow during vascular shunting.
Blood flow is increased to active areas/blood is redistributed to muscles/away from inactive areas
Increased by vasodilation/ widening of the internal diameter/widening of the lumen of the blood vessel
reduced blood flow to inactive area
reduced by vasoconstriction/ narrowing of the internal diameter/narrowing the lumen of the blood vessel.
Explain one reason why vascular shunting is necessary during a game of basketball.(3marks)
. Necessary to transport oxygen to muscles/the muscles require oxygen/more oxygen (1) so the player can
continue to work aerobically/prevent anaerobic respiration/can break down lactic acid/remove lactate/prevent lactate accumulation (1) so they are able to work at a higher intensity for longer/delay fatigue (1)
What plane of movement is occurring when performing a forward lunge?
Sagittal plane
What axis does the body work around performing a somersault?
Frontal axis
What axis does the body work around performing cartwheel?
Sagittal axis
Which is a by-product of aerobic respiration?
Water
What are the end products of aerobic respiration?
Carbon dioxide and water
What causes the blood to move through veins back to the heart?
Skeletal muscle contractions squeeze veins, pushing blood back toward the heart
