Nasm CPT Final Exam Study Guide
UPDATED Study Guide QUESTIONS
AND CORRECT ANSWERS
- Proprioception - CORRECT ANSWERS The body's ability to
to sense the relative position of adjacent parts of the body
Ex: when walking our feet give us proprioception about the type of
surface we are on.
Mechanoreceptors - CORRECT ANSWERS specialized
structures that recognize pressure in tissue and transmit signals to
sensory nerves.
Muscle Spindles - CORRECT ANSWERS sensory receptors in
the muscles that are parallel to the muscle fibers and are sensitive to
change in muscle length. Spindles stretch with muscle and sends
information to CNS.
helps to prevent muscles from stretching too far or too fast
Golgi Tendon Organs - CORRECT ANSWERS sensory
receptors that are located at the point where the skeletal muscle fibers
insert into the tendon. Sensitive to change in tension at the rate of
change
causes the muscle to relax
,Epimysium - CORRECT ANSWERS connective tissue
UNDER fascia that acts as an outer layer of the whole muscle
Perimysium - CORRECT ANSWERS connective tissue acts as
an outer layer of fascicles
Endomysium - CORRECT ANSWERS between the individual
muscle fibers
Type 1 Muscle Fiber - CORRECT ANSWERS "slow-twitch",
smaller in size, lessforce produced, long-term contractions
(stabilization)
Type 2 Muscle Fiber - CORRECT ANSWERS fast twitch,
larger, quick to fatigue, force and power exercises
Agonist - CORRECT ANSWERS PRIME MOVER, main
muscles
ex: chest press-> pectoralis major
Synergist - CORRECT ANSWERS ASSIST PRIME MOVER,
ex: chest press -> ant deltoid, triceps
Stabilizer - CORRECT ANSWERS stabilizes while prime
mover and assist work.
chest press -> rotator cuff
, Antagonist - CORRECT ANSWERS Oppose Prime mover,
chest press -> posterior delt
Right Atrium - CORRECT ANSWERS gather
DEOXGENATED blood returning to the heart from ENTIRE BODY
Left Atrium - CORRECT ANSWERS gathers OXYGENATED
blood coming from the LUNGS
Right Ventricle - CORRECT ANSWERS thin walls pumps
under low pressure. Pumps to lungs
Left Ventricle - CORRECT ANSWERS thick walls, pumps
under high pressure to rest of body
Metabolism - CORRECT ANSWERS all of the chemical
reactions that happen in our body to maintain itself. Nutrients are
acquired, transported and used by the body.
Exercise Metabolism - CORRECT ANSWERS bioenergetics
as it relates to the unique physiologic changes and demands on body
during exercise
Substrates - CORRECT ANSWERS where enzymes act
