NASM CPT STUDY GUIDE EXAM QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS WITH
COMPLETE SOLUTIONS VERIFIED LATEST
Terms in this set (382)
Atria smaller, superior chambers of the heart; receive blood from veins
Right atrium Gathers deoxygenated blood returning to the heart
left atrium Gathers oxygenated blood from the lungs
Ventricles larger, inferior chambers of the heart; pump blood out
Right ventricle Pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs
Left ventricle Pumps oxygenated blood to the body
Arteries Carry blood away from the heart
Veins Transport blood to the heart
Arterioles Small branches of arteries; end capillaries
Capillaries Smallest blood vessels; site of gas, chemical, and water exchange.
Aerobic Requires oxygen
Anaerobic Without oxygen
anaerobic threshold Where the body can no longer produce enough energy with normal oxygen intake
Venules Very small veins that connect capillaries to the larger veins.
Frontal plane Splits the body in half from the front to back
Sagittal plane Splits the body in the middle from left to right
Transverse plane Splits the body from top half to bottom half
Flexion Bending movement; decreases relative angle between segments
Extension Straightening movement; increases relative angle between segments
Plantarflexion Extension at the ankle
Dorsiflexion Flexion at the ankle
Abduction Movement away from the middle
Adduction Movement toward the middle
Internal rotation Rotation toward the midline
External rotation Rotation away from the midline
Adduction/abduction
Frontal motion Lateral flexion
Eversion/inversion
Sagittal motion Flexion/extension
Rotation
Transverse motion
Horizontal adduction/abduction
Concentric Muscular force greater than resistive force; muscle shortens
Eccentric Muscle developes tension while lengthening; decelerates force
Isometric Muscular force equal to resistive force; no change in muscle length
Length-tension relationship Resting length of a muscle and the tension it can produce at that length
Force-couple Muscles working together to produce movement
