NASM CPT EXAM QUESTIONS WITH ACCURATE ANSWERS.
nervous system - accurate answers-communication network within the body.
nervous system functions - accurate answers-1. sensory: changes in the
environment
2. integrative: analyze and interpret
3. motor: the neuromuscular response
Central nervous system (CNS) - accurate answers-brain and spinal cord;
coordinates activity of the body
Peripheral nervous system (PNS) - accurate answers-nerves connecting the
CNS to the rest of the body and environment.
subdivisions:
- somatic
- autonomic
- parasympathetic
- sympathetic
Somatic - accurate answers-- apart of the PNS
- serves outer areas of the body and skeletal muscle; voluntary
Autonomic - accurate answers-- apart of the PNS
- involuntary systems (e.g., heart, digestion).
subdivisions:
- parasympathetic
- sympathetic
Parasympathetic - accurate answers-- apart of the autonomic system of the
PNS
- decreases activation during rest and recovery.
Sympathetic - accurate answers-- apart of the autonomic system of the PNS
- increases activation to prep for activity.
neuron - accurate answers-functional unit of the nervous system.
,- motor (efferent)
- sensory (afferent)
motor neurons - accurate answers-- efferent
- transmit nerve impulses from CNS to effector sites.
sensory neurons - accurate answers-- afferent
- respond to stimuli; transmit nerve impulses from effector sites to CNS.
mechanoreceptors - accurate answers-sense distortion in body tissues.
Joint receptors - accurate answers-respond to pressure, acceleration, and
deceleration of joints.
Golgi tendon organs (GTO) - accurate answers-sense changes in muscular
tension.
Muscle spindles - accurate answers-sense changes in muscle length.
Tendons - accurate answers-connect muscle to bone; provide anchor for
muscles to produce force.
Fascia - accurate answers-outer layer of connective tissue surrounding a
muscle.
Fascicles - accurate answers-bundle of individual muscle fibers.
Muscle fiber - accurate answers-cellular components and myofibrils encased
in a plasma membrane.
Sarcomere - accurate answers-produces muscular contraction; repeating
sections of actin and myosin.
Sliding filament theory - accurate answers-thick and thin filaments slide past
one another, shortening the entire sarcomere.
Type I muscle tissue - accurate answers-- slow twitch
- smaller size; fatigue slowly.
,Type II muscle tissue - accurate answers-- fast twitch
- larger size; quick to produce maximal tension; fatigue quickly.
Motor unit - accurate answers-one motor neuron and the muscle fibers it
connects with.
Neural activation - accurate answers-contraction of a muscle generated by
neural stimulation.
Neurotransmitters - accurate answers-chemical messengers that transport
impulses from nerve to muscle.
Local stabilization system - accurate answers-attach directly to vertebrae.
Consists of: transverse abdominis, internal oblique, multifidus, pelvic floor,
diaphragm.

movement, produces blood, stores minerals.
Skeletal depressions - accurate answers-lattened or indented portions of
abone;can be muscle attachment sites.
