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.)
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.).
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.
Where in the digestive system are most fluids absorbed? - ANSWER: Small intestine
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).
Which heart chamber receives oxygenated blood and pumps it to the body? -
ANSWER: Left ventricle
What is stroke volume? - ANSWER: The amount of blood pumped out of the heart
with each contraction
What is end-systolic volume? - ANSWER: The amount of blood remaining in the
ventricle after contraction
Where in the digestive system are most fluids absorbed? - ANSWER: Small intestine
What is the primary function of the large intestine? - ANSWER: Absorption of food
and passage of waste into the rectum
motility, 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.
, 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

large intestine, and ultimately into the anal canal where it is excreted. Along the

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 (Pandol 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 chyme, 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.
Stretch your knowledge - ANSWER: A properly working digestive system requires
adequate water consumption. Inadequate consumption may lead to an inability of
food to pass through the lower GI tract and lead to constipation and discomfort.
Peristalsis - ANSWER: The muscle action of the GI system that pushes food through
the body
