Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder that causes severe problems mainly on the respiratory system, but also on other organs such as the pancreas or the liver. It is an autosomal recessive disorder, meaning that an individual needs to inherit one copy of the gene from each parent in order to have the disease. The disorder is caused by a mutation in the gene that encodes the protein that participates in the transport salt intracellularly. This mutation causes a defect in the production of mucus, sweat and digestive fluid. In patients suffering from cystic fibrosis, these bodily fluids and the mucus are sticky and thick. This change in consistency causes severe damage to the respiratory and digestive systems.

13. Which of the following is NOT an example of an agonist/antagonist pair? (Points : 2)
VladimirAG [237]
13. <span>Gluteus Maximus: Trapezius because the contraction of one doesn't necessarily lengthen the other.

14. </span><span>Decreased bone mass because strength training adds bone density, keeps the volume, so therefore increases the mass.

15. Not 100% what long/short is, and I'm not 100% sure of the answer. I'm going to say large/small because you already work out the smaller muscles during the working out of the large muscles.

16. The only one that one should stick by 100% is maintaining proper posture, form, and technique. But, this is health, and not bodybuilding. So, maintaining the core tension at all times. You don't need to do that for something that doesn't require the core. </span>
