HEA 230 FINAL EXAM REVIEW | 2026 UPDATE | RATED
A+
Medial Answer - Toward the midline of the body
Lateral Answer - Away from the midline of the body
The right ventricle pumps blood to the Answer - lungs
The left ventricle pumps blood to the Answer - body
frontal plane Answer - divides body into front and back; actions in plane
include jumping jacks, side shuffles and lateral raises
saggital plane Answer - divides the body into a right and left side; actions in
plane include flexion and extension, running and walking
transverse plane Answer - horizontal division of the body into upper and lower
portions; actions in plane include rotational movements
Flexibility Answer - ROM around a joint; affected by age, gender and scar
tissue
Shoulder Shrugs/Upright Row Answer - strengthen trapezius, levator scapulae
, pull ups (chin ups) Answer - strengthen latissimus dorsi/biceps bracchi
phosphagen system (ATP-CP) Answer - creatine phosphate helps create ATP in
muscles; lasts about 10 seconds
aerobic glycolysis Answer - slower rate of ATP production; lower-intensity,
longer- duration activities; produces CO2 as waste product
anaerobic glycolysis Answer - Glucose is broken down without oxygen to make
2 ATP; produces lactic acid
active straight leg raise test Answer - used to assess hamstring flexibility and
hip range of motion
long term adaptations to cardio exercise Answer - increased blood lipid and
glucose control, decreased resting heart rate, increased stroke volume
Type I muscle fibers Answer - slow twitch and have a high oxidative capacity
Type IIa muscle fibers Answer - most adaptable of fibers; respond to different
training methods by becoming either more oxidative or increasing speed
Type IIx fibers Answer - Anaerobic fibers, fast glycolytic muscle fibers
Agonist muscle Answer - muscle primarily responsible for movement
antagonist muscle Answer - The muscle opposite the agonist, which must relax
and lengthen during contraction of the agonist.
