Answer the following statements true (T) or false (F)

1. During strenuous exercise, the muscles’ use of oxygen and nutrients can outstrip the blood’s ability to supply them. 2. When muscles must use energy release that does not require oxygen, the waste product ascorbic acid is produced, which can cause soreness in the muscle. 3. The term oxygen debt describes the continued increased metabolism that must occur in a cell to remove the excess acid that accumulates during prolonged exercise. 4. The respiratory and nervous systems, in addition to the muscular system, play important roles in body movement. 5. A motor neuron and all the muscle cells it stimulates are called a neuromuscular junction.
