21. Amount of ACL injuries that are non-contact






22. The inferior chamber of the heart that receives blood from its corresponding atrium and - in turn - forces blood into the arteries






23. The material or substance on which an enzyme acts






24. A dense membrane composed of fibrous connective tissue that closely wraps (invests) all bone - except that of the articulating surfaces in joints - which are covered by a synovial membrane.






25. Series of muscles that moves the skeleton.






26. A small mass of specialized cardiac muscle fibers - located in the wall of the right atrium of the heart - that receives heartbeat impulses from the sinoatrial node and directs them to the walls of the ventricles

40. A high-energy compound occurring in all cells from which atp is formed.






41. The highest rate of oxygen transport and utilization achieved at maximal physical exertion






42. Cranial and spinal nerves that spread throughout the body






43. Low loads - high reps






44. Receptors surrounding a joint that response to pressure acceleration and deceleration of the joint






45. Vessels that transport blood away from the heart






46. Example of irregular bones






47. Network of hollow tubes that circulates blood throughout the body






48. The complex carb molecule used to store carbs in the liver and muscle cells. when carb energy is needed - glycogen is converted into glucose for use by the muscle cells






49. Small terminal branches of an artery - which end in capillaries
