CSEP-CEP Theory Questions with Correct Answers (Grade A+)
Question 1: What are the 5 circumference points?
Answer: - Arm (midpoint between acromian and olecranon)
- Waist (midpoint of iliac crest and ribs)
- Hip (furthest protrusion of glutes)
- Thigh (midpoint of inguinal crease and patella)
- Calf (furthest protrusion)
Question 2: What are the 7 skinfold sites?
Answer: - Tricep (midpoint of acromian and olecranon)
- Bicep (belly of bicep)
- Scapula (3cm inferior)
- Waist (3cm superior of iliac crest)
- Stomach (3cm lateral and 1cm inferior of belly)
- Thigh (midpoint of inguinal crease and prox patella)
- Calf (widest medial point)
Question 3: What is the order of the cardiac valves?
Answer: Tricuspid, pulmonary, mitral, aortic
Question 4: Branches of the superior vena cava
Answer: R and L brachiocephalic R and L subclavian R and L internal/external jugular
Question 5: Branches of the inferior vena cava
Answer: Hepatic Renal Iliac
Question 6: Branches of the aorta
Answer: Brachiocephalic R and L common carotid R and L subclavian Descending aorta
Question 7: What is SBP
Answer: Maximum pressure in arteries when the heart contracts
Question 8: What is DBP?

, Question 9: What are the stages of BP?
Answer: Normal - <120/<80 Prehypertension - 120-139/80-89 Stage 1- 140-159/90-99 Stage 2 - > 160/100
Hypertensive crisis >180/110
Question 10: Function of SA node
Answer: - Cells depolarize and cause AV node and Bachman's bundle to depolarize
- Atria then contract and the signal is sent down the left and right branches to the AV node
- Pacemaker of the heart
Question 11: Function of AV node
Answer: Signal goes to bundle of His, splits into Purkinje fibres, and causes the ventricles to contract
Question 12: 5 lead EKG
Answer: Green - right lower ribs White - right inferior to clavicle Black - left inferior to clavicle Red - left
lower ribs Brown - 4th intercostal space
Question 13: What are the segments of the EKG?
Answer: QRS complex - ventricular depolarization P - atrial depolarization T - ventricular repolarization ST
segment - time between ventricular depolarization and repolarization
Question 14: Length of: QRS complex, PR interval, QT interval, RR
Answer: QRS - 0.12-0.2
Question 15: interval
Answer: PR - 0.8-0.1 QT - 0.4-0.43 RR - 0.6-1
Question 16: What are the time frames of the boxes on an ECG?
Answer: Small box is 0.04 seconds Big box is 0.2 seconds
Question 17: Tidal volume and size
Answer: Amount of air moving in and out of lungs in a normal breath (500mL)
Question 18: Inspiratory reserve volume and size
Answer: Amount of air that can be inhaled following a normal inhalation (1900-3200mL)
