BTEC SPORT LEVEL 3 EXAM UPDATED
WITH QUESTIONS AND CORRECT
ANSWERS
How does age affect exercise performance? - CORRECT ANSWER Muscle
deteriorated with age. 30% between 50-70
What is cramp? - CORRECT ANSWER Cramp is sudden muscle contractions. It is very
painful and is causes by lack of salt and electrolyte
What does nasal cavity do? - CORRECT ANSWER Air is warmed and dust is removed
What happens after the trachea? - CORRECT ANSWER The airway splits into left and
right bronchus which divided into bronchioles
What is the larynx? - CORRECT ANSWER Air enters and passes over the vocal chords
What does the trachea? - CORRECT ANSWER The trachea is surrounded by cartilage
to maintain shape for airflow
What are the capillaries? - CORRECT ANSWER They work with the alveoli in the
respiratory system to make sure that o2 from the air is transported to the muscles.
What is the thoracic cavity? - CORRECT ANSWER The body cavity that holds the lungs
heart.
What is gas exchange? - CORRECT ANSWERO2 diffuses into blood, CO2 diffuses out
of blood
What is pulmonary ventilation? - CORRECT ANSWER Movement of air into and out of
the lungs
What is tidal volume? - CORRECT ANSWER Amount of air inhaled and exhaled during
a normal breathing cycle. 0.5 liters
What is vital capacity? - CORRECT ANSWER The volume of air that the patient can
exhale after a maximal inhalation. 4.8 liters
What is residual volume? - CORRECT ANSWER Air in lungs after maximal expiration.
Cannot be measured on spirometry
, What is total lung Volume? - CORRECT ANSWER Total volume of air in lungs.
Where is nerve pulses sent to during inspiration and expiration? - CORRECT ANSWER
The external intercostal muscles and the diaphragm
What are the short term responses to exercise? (respiratory) - CORRECT ANSWER
Increased breathing rate and increased tidal volume.
What are the long term adaptations of exercise? - CORRECT ANSWER Increase
strength of respiratory muscles, increased vital capacity and increased in o2 and co2
diffusion rate.
What is asthma? - CORRECT ANSWER Narrowing of the bronchial airways. The
smooth muscle around the walls of the airways tightens, the lining of the airways
become more inflamed and phlegm can build up on airways.
What is partial pressure? - CORRECT ANSWER The force of one gas in a mixture of
gases on the wall of an artery or vein.
What are the effect of altitude? - CORRECT ANSWER2400m above sea level there is
less o2 to breath in
What is the cardiovascular system? - CORRECT ANSWER The system is made up of
the heart, blood vessels and blood. The blood is circulating around the body. The heart
is a muscle. The valves in the heart prevents backflow.
What is blood flow of deoxygenated blood? - CORRECT ANSWER Deoxygenated
blood passes from the vena cava to the right atrium. From here it travels through the
tricuspid valve into the right ventricle. Deoxygenated blood leaves the right side of the
heart passing through the semi lunar valves into the pulmonary artery.
What is blood flow of oxygenated blood? - CORRECT ANSWER Oxygenated blood
from the lungs passes through the pulmonary vein to the left atrium. It travels to the left
atrium. From here it travels through the bicuspid valve into the left ventricle. It leaves the
left side of the heart, passing through the semi lunar valves into the aorta.
What is blood made of? - CORRECT ANSWER White blood cells, red blood cells,
platelets, and plasma
What are blood vessels? - CORRECT ANSWER Hollow tunes that direct blood
What are arteries? - CORRECT ANSWER Carry oxygen rich blood away from the heart
What are arterioles? - CORRECT ANSWER The smallest arteries
