1. We have learned that there are three different muscle types (skeletal, cardiac, smooth) found in the body. Please describe each of these muscle types. Where would you find each type and how do we use them? 2. What are the three different types of muscle contractions that you might experience during a workout? List, briefly describe, and give examples for each one.

3. There are six skill-related areas of fitness: agility, balance, coordination, power, speed, and reaction time. Please choose three of these skill-related areas of fitness to describe.

4. Please briefly explain four of the seven tips for staying safe and using good judgement while being active. Your choices are: be careful, be a good listener, be correct, be smart, be yourself, be warm, be cool.

5.How are hormones and glands related to physical activity? Please write two or three sentences explaining what happens with hormones and glands during physical activity.

6. Of the three types of muscle contractions, we have discussed (eccentric/lengthening, concentric/shortening, and isometric/steady), which one do you think you experience most often during a normal day? How about if you are doing a physical activity? Please give examples for both a normal day muscle contraction and a physical activity muscle contraction.

7. Some people say that cardiovascular exercise is more important than strength or muscle training. Do you agree or disagree with this? Please explain why you agree or disagree.

8. Why do you think it is important to take care of and strengthen your muscles? What can happen if you don’t pay attention to your muscles?

10. The unit tells us that “every activity you do is making you stronger, healthier, and happier” and “the real gift of fitness is the way it makes you feel inside.” What are some other types of things, besides physical activity, that affect the way that you feel inside and your health? Please give examples of two things that would create positive effects and two things that would create negative effects.

The primary function of the respiratory system is to supply the blood with oxygen in order for the blood to deliver oxygen to all parts of the body. the respiratory system does this through breathing. when we breathe, we inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide. this exchange of gases is the respiratory system's means of getting oxygen to the blood. respiration is achieved through the mouth, nose, trachea, lungs, and diaphragm. oxygen enters the respiratory system through the mouth and the nose. the oxygen then passes through the larynx (where speech sounds are produced) and the trachea which is a tube that enters the chest cavity. in the chest cavity, the trachea splits into two smaller tubes called the bronchi. each bronchus then divides again forming the bronchial tubes. the bronchial tubes lead directly into the lungs where they divide into many smaller tubes which connect to tiny sacs called alveoli. the average adult's lungs contain about 600 million of these spongy, air-filled sacs that are surrounded by capillaries. the inhaled oxygen passes into the alveoli and then diffuses through the capillaries into the arterial blood. meanwhile, the waste-rich blood from the veins releases its carbon dioxide into the alveoli. the carbon dioxide follows the same path out of the lungs when you exhale. the diaphragm's job is to pump the carbon dioxide out of the lungs and pull the oxygen into the lungs. the diaphragm is a sheet of muscles that lies across the bottom of the chest cavity. as the diaphragm contracts and relaxes, breathing takes place. when the diaphragm contracts, oxygen is pulled into the lungs. when the diaphragm relaxes, carbon dioxide is pumped out of the lungs. write one paragraph (at least 6 sentences) describing the path of oxygen through the respiratory system. also include why this "order of operations" is the way it is!
