Anatomy and physiology — IGCSE Physical Education (0995) questions by topic
Anatomy and physiology questions in IGCSE Physical Education ask you to identify labelled bones on a skeleton diagram and classify them, describe long-term effects of aerobic exercise on the cardiovascular system, identify the main muscle fibre type used in a shot put and justify the choice, and name types of ankle movement.
Identify, describe, complete and state are the command words in play, with marks running from 2 to 11. The 5 questions on this page all come from 2025 papers. Practise naming the correct anatomical term first, then submit your answer for instant marking to check that the justification you give actually matches the muscle fibre type or movement you identified.
