About Anatomy and Physiology: Body Systems

GoConqr Original

What this unit covers

The unit brings together resources on how the body is built and how it moves. The biggest cluster is the skeletal and muscular systems: bones, joints, muscles, planes of movement and analysis of movement. Around that sit the respiratory system, the cardiovascular system, the nervous system and the body's response to exercise.

Where to start

Begin with the mind map Skeletal and Muscular system. It sets out the main roles of the skeleton: protection of internal organs, a framework for the body and movement. It also defines terms such as ligament. Then move to the Anatomy and Physiology mind map, which links skeletal, muscular, cardiovascular and respiratory topics with synovial joints such as the elbow, knee and hip.

Building your knowledge

  1. Read a map to get the overall picture, such as The Body in PE for skeletal functions and joint types.
  2. Work through flashcards. A Level PE - Muscular/Skeletal System asks you to identify the three planes of movement and define adduction and abduction.
  3. Test yourself with the quiz Unit 3: Skeletal and Muscular System, which checks bone locations in the upper and lower body.
  4. Move on to Nervous system test, which covers how the nervous system activates muscle fibres and the sliding filament theory.

Using quizzes and maps together

Use a quiz first to see what you cannot yet recall. Then return to the matching mind map and read only those branches. Try the quiz again afterwards. For the respiratory system, the mind map 1.2.3 The respiratory system covers bringing oxygen in, removing carbon dioxide and gaseous exchange. The flashcard deck Hormonal responces to exercise suits students who want to go further into how hormones act on cells.

Many resources mention GCSE PE, A-level PE, BTEC Sport or IB, so you can pick material close to your course. Most of the material is aimed at school level, with some for university students and professional candidates.

Where it fits

This unit sits in the Applied Anatomy, Physiology and Biomechanics strand of Physical education and sport. Choose one system, work through a map, a deck and a quiz, then add your own notes where something is missing.

Frequently asked questions

Which resource should I open first?

Start with the mind map Skeletal and Muscular system. It covers what the skeleton does, including protection, a framework and movement, and explains terms like ligament. Once that feels familiar, try the quiz Unit 3: Skeletal and Muscular System to see which bones and ideas you still need to revisit.

What do the mind maps on this page cover?

They cover the skeletal and muscular systems, joints and types of movement, the respiratory system and the cardiovascular system. There is also a broad Anatomy and Physiology map linking synovial joints, biomechanics and the heart, plus maps on movement analysis and the effects of exercise.

Are the resources free to use?

Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself. If you create a free account, your quiz scores are saved and you can make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes.

Which exams and levels do the resources suit?

Resources mention GCSE PE, GCSE Physical Education, A-level PE, A-level Physical Education, BTEC Sport and IB. Most of the material is at school level, with a smaller share for university students and professional candidates, so check the title and content to find the right fit.

Is there anything on the nervous system or exercise responses?

Yes. The quiz Nervous system test asks about the role of the nervous system and the sliding filament theory. The flashcard deck Hormonal responces to exercise looks at how hormones affect cells and what changes hormone levels in the blood.

What if the topic I need is missing?

Look through related titles first, as many decks and maps overlap, for example on muscles, joints or movement analysis. If you still cannot find it, you can make your own mind map, flashcards or quiz on the topic and use it alongside the community material.
