CORRECT DETAILED ANSWERS (100%
VERIFIED ANSWERS) GRADED A+
1. Which of the following effects may be experienced with overtraining?
- ANSWER - High levels of cortisol, which lead to a catabolic environment.
(Prolonged bouts of training or overtraining have been found raise cortisol levels. Under
these circumstances, catabolism (breakdown) is likely to outstrip anabolism (buildup)
and impair performance.)
2. What type of vessel is responsible for carrying blood back to the heart
- ANSWER - Veins. (Arteries carry blood away from the heart and transition to
arterioles (small arteries), which are connected to venules (small veins) by capillaries.
From there, via veins, blood is transported back to the heart.).
3.What is cardiac output?
- ANSWER - The volume of blood pumped by the heart per minute is cardiac output,
which can be calculated by multiplying beats per minute times stroke volume.
4. Where in the digestive system are most fluids absorbed?
- ANSWER - Small intestine
5. Abnormal breathing may be associated with which of the following effects? -
ANSWER - Abnormal breathing is characterized by rapid, shallow breaths, as well as
increased chest movements and use of secondary muscles (e.g., sternocleidomastoid).
6. Which heart chamber receives oxygenated blood and pumps it to the body? -
ANSWER - Left ventricle
7. What is stroke volume?
- ANSWER - The amount of blood pumped out of the heart with each contraction
8. What is end-systolic volume?
- ANSWER - The amount of blood remaining in the ventricle after contraction
6. Where in the digestive system are most fluids absorbed?
- ANSWER - Small intestine
7. What is the primary function of the large intestine?
, - ANSWER - Absorption of food and passage of waste into the rectum
8. Which is the passage of food through the digestive tract and includes mastication
(chewing), swallowing, digestion, and peristalsis.
- ANSWER - motility, which is the passage of food through the digestive tract and
includes mastication (chewing), swallowing, digestion, and peristalsis.
9. The esophagus and stomach are the beginning of the upper GI tract. Food from the
stomach is passed through the small intestine and into the large intestine, and ultimately
into the anal canal where it is excreted. Along the way, various mechanical processes,
hormones, and enzymes from organs that contribute to digestion aid in the process.
- ANSWER - The esophagus and stomach are the beginning of the upper GI tract.
Food from the stomach is passed through the small intestine and into the large
intestine, and ultimately into the anal canal where it is excreted. Along the way, various
mechanical processes, hormones, and enzymes from organs that contribute to
digestion aid in the process.

digestion aid in the process.
11. Small intestine comprises
- ANSWER - the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum and resides between the stomach
and the large intestine (Figure 6-16). It is called small, because it is relatively small
compared to the large intestine. From a length perspective, the small intestine is roughly
3 meters (almost 10 feet). Food is first passed into the duodenum, which is generally
the first 10 inches. Food passes from the duodenum into the jejunum and then
ultimately into the ileum. From the ileum, food passes into the large intestine.
LOWER GI TRACT
- ANSWER - The large intestine (i.e., the colon) serves in part to absorb electrolytes
including water, and certain vitamins (Pando et al., 2015). The large intestine resides
between the small intestine and the rectum and anal canal, where waste product is
passed out of the body (Figure 6-17). From an anatomical perspective, the first area of
the large intestine that receives food is the cecum (Pandol et al., 2015). The cecum
receives the chime, which is then passed in order through the ascending colon,
transverse colon, descending colon, sigmoid colon, rectum, and anus (Pandol et al.,
2015). It is important to note that the large intestine has little to no digestive function and
serves primarily to absorb and pass waste into the rectum.
