Why Does Your Pulse Race? 7th Grade Exercise Physiology Quiz (Medium) Hoja de trabajo • Descarga gratuita en PDF con clave de respuestas

How does your body adapt to a 400-meter dash? Analyze the mechanics of homeostasis, lactic acid, and cardiac output during physical stress.

Panorama pedagógico

This quiz assesses student understanding of the physiological responses and adaptations of the human body to physical exertion. The assessment employs a mix of multiple-choice, fill-in-the-blank, and true-false questions to evaluate both acute reactions and chronic adaptations. It is designed for use as a mid-unit formative assessment or a summative review in middle school life science or health education curriculums.

Qué aprenderán los estudiantes

  • Differentiate between acute physiological responses to exercise and chronic adaptations of the body systems.
  • Analyze the role of gas exchange and carbon dioxide concentrations in maintaining homeostasis during physical stress.
  • Identify the differences between aerobic and anaerobic energy systems during varying intensities of physical activity.

All 10 Questions

  1. During a vigorous soccer match, your body maintains homeostasis by increasing your breathing rate. What primary chemical change in the blood triggers this response?
    A) A decrease in nitrogen levels
    B) An increase in carbon dioxide concentration
    C) A sudden drop in body temperature
    D) Increased production of red blood cells
  2. When an athlete transitions from a slow jog to a 50-meter max-effort sprint, they shift from using oxygen for energy to the ________ system for immediate power.
    A) Aerobic
    B) Anaerobic
    C) Circulatory
    D) Endocrine
  3. Hypertrophy, or the increase in muscle fiber size, is considered an acute response rather than a chronic adaptation.
    A) True
    B) False
Show all 10 questions
  1. Vasodilation occurs during exercise when blood vessels near the skin expand. What is the physiological purpose of this change?
    A) To slow down the heart rate
    B) To store more glucose in the liver
    C) To radiate excess heat away from the body
    D) To decrease the amount of oxygen in the blood
  2. Stroke volume refers to the amount of blood pumped by the ________ with each individual contraction.
    A) Lungs
    B) Left Ventricle
    C) Arteries
    D) Capillaries
  3. A marathon runner often hits 'the wall' when their body runs out of stored glycogen. Which fuel source does the body primarily switch to at this point?
    A) Lactic acid
    B) Bone marrow
    C) Fatty acids
    D) Carbon dioxide
  4. Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS) is primarily caused by an accumulation of lactic acid that stays in the muscles for several days.
    A) True
    B) False
  5. The measurement of the maximum amount of oxygen an individual can utilize during intense exercise is known as ________.
    A) Cardiac Output
    B) VO2 Max
    C) Vital Capacity
    D) Tidal Volume
  6. Which of these is a long-term skeletal adaptation to weight-bearing exercises like dancing or hiking?
    A) Increased bone density
    B) Shortening of the femur
    C) Decreased joint flexibility
    D) Reduction in red blood cell production
  7. A lower resting heart rate in a trained athlete is a sign that their heart has become more efficient at pumping blood.
    A) True
    B) False

Preguntas Frecuentes

This Exercise Physiology Quiz is an excellent resource for a substitute teacher because the clear explanations and answer key make it a self-contained, no-prep science activity.

Most 7th grade students will complete this physiology quiz in approximately 15 to 20 minutes, making it an ideal length for a mid-period check for understanding.

Yes, teachers can use this science quiz for differentiated instruction by providing the detailed answer explanations as a scaffolded reading guide for students who need more support.

This exercise physiology worksheet is specifically designed for 7th grade science students but can be easily adapted for 6th or 8th grade life science and physical education classes.

You can use this physiology quiz as a formative assessment by analyzing the results to determine if students can distinguish between immediate body changes like heart rate and long-term changes like bone density.
