NASM CPT FINAL EXAM LATEST 2026/2027 ACTUAL PREP QUESTIONS,
KEY CONCEPTS |GUARANTEED PASS, Exams of Nursing
Proprioception
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
specialized structures that recognize pressure in tissue and transmit signals to sensory nerves.
Muscle Spindles
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
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
1
, NASM CPT FINAL EXAM LATEST 2026/2027 07/22/2026
connective tissue UNDER fascia that acts as an outer layer of the whole muscle
Perimysium
connective tissue acts as an outer layer of fascicles
Endomysium
between the individual muscle fibers
Type 1 Muscle Fiber
"slow-twitch", smaller in size, lessforce produced, long-term contractions (stabilization)
Type 2 Muscle Fiber
fast twitch, larger, quick to fatigue, force and power exercises
Agonist
PRIME MOVER, main muscles
ex: chest press-> pectoralis major
Synergist
ASSIST PRIME MOVER,

ex: chest press -> ant deltoid, triceps

Stabilizer
stabilizes while prime mover and assist work.
chest press -> rotator cuff
Antagonist
Oppose Prime mover,
chest press -> posterior delt
Right Atrium
gather DEOXGENATED blood returning to the heart from ENTIRE BODY
Left Atrium
gathers OXYGENATED blood coming from the LUNGS
Right Ventricle
thin walls pumps under low pressure. Pumps to lungs
Left Ventricle
thick walls, pumps under high pressure to rest of body
