Which of the following is NOT one of the three main types of muscle?
Skeletal
Smooth
Cardiac
Elastic
Which muscle type is responsible for pumping blood around the body?
Skeletal
Smooth
Cardiac
Tendons
Which best describes how muscles produce movement?
Bones contract, and muscles push them outward
Muscles shorten (contract) and pull on bones
Muscles lengthen (extend) to push bones
Bones move on their own without muscle help
A voluntary muscle is one that:
Works automatically, like the heart
Moves only in response to nerve damage
We can control (e.g., biceps)
Never tires out
Why is protein important for muscle health?
It provides direct hydration to muscle cells
It helps repair and build muscle tissue
It replaces old blood cells
It is stored as fat in the body
Which of the following activities best helps develop muscle strength?
Reading a book
Lifting weights or doing resistance exercises
Playing video games
Watching TV on the couch
Smooth muscles are found primarily in the:
Bones
Heart
Walls of organs (e.g., stomach)
Arms and legs
Which of the following helps maintain healthy muscles?
Eating high-sugar diets and avoiding exercise
Proper hydration, balanced diet, and regular physical activity
Skipping protein to reduce muscle size
Relying solely on stretching without strength training
When a muscle contracts, it generally:
Elongates and pushes the bone away
Shortens and pulls on the tendon/bone
Detaches from the skeleton
Remains the same length but hardens
Name the three types of muscles and provide an example of each.
Skeletal, Cardiac, Smooth
Cardiac, Smooth, Rough
Skeletal, Rough, Smooth
Rough, Cardiac, Skeletal
Which of the following are reasons why muscle health is important for daily life?
Muscle health improves physical strength and endurance.
Muscle health supports mental well-being.
Muscle health enhances flexibility and balance.
Muscle health reduces the risk of chronic diseases.
Identify one daily habit that can help keep muscles healthy. Explain how it supports muscle function.
Regular exercise helps keep muscles healthy by improving strength and endurance.
Eating junk food supports muscle function by providing energy.
Watching TV all day helps muscles relax and recover.
Skipping meals boosts muscle growth by forcing the body to use stored energy.
The heart is a muscle (cardiac muscle). Why is it important to keep it healthy, and how can we do this?
It is important to keep the heart healthy to ensure it functions properly, and this can be done through regular exercise and a balanced diet.
The heart is important for digestion, and keeping it healthy involves eating spicy foods.
Keeping the heart healthy is crucial for maintaining skin health, and this can be achieved by using skincare products.
The heart's health is irrelevant to overall well-being, and no specific actions are needed.

Ulna
Identify the bone labeled in the hip area.
Pelvis

Which of the following is NOT a function of the skeletal system?
Protection of organs
Production of blood cells
Storage of fat in the muscles
Support and structure
Which of the following bones is a long bone?
Skull
Ribs
Femur
Pelvis
Which type of bone is most responsible for protection?
Short bones
Flat bones
Long bones
Irregular bones
Why is calcium important for bone health?
It provides energy for muscles
It helps blood clot faster
It strengthens and maintains bone density
It keeps your heart beating
Which of the following is an example of weight-bearing exercise that helps keep bones strong?
Swimming
Running
Yoga (stretching only)
Meditation
Where is bone marrow primarily found?
On the surface of the bones
In the hollow center of long bones
In the joints connecting bones
In the muscle attached to bones
Which bone protects the brain?
Tibia
Spine
Skull
Pelvis
What is one main function of short bones like carpals (wrist bones)?
Providing stability and support
Protecting major organs
Blood cell production
Storing excess nutrients
Which statement best describes how bones work with muscles to produce movement?
A. Bones push muscles to make them longer
B. Muscles shorten (contract) and pull on bones
C. Muscles have no effect on bone movement
D. Bones contract and pull on muscles
One way that bones protect our internal organs is by:
providing a rigid structure that shields them from impact
producing red blood cells
storing minerals
facilitating movement
Which two nutrients are important for bone health?
Calcium and Vitamin D
Iron and Vitamin C
Potassium and Magnesium
Zinc and Vitamin B12
Bone density might decrease as a person gets older due to:
Lack of calcium and vitamin D
Increased physical activity
Improved diet
Enhanced bone regeneration
One daily habit that can help keep bones healthy is:
Drinking plenty of water
Getting regular exercise
Sleeping 8 hours a day
Reading books
