NASM CPT FINAL EXAM STUDY GUIDE QUESTIONS WITH
ACCURATE SOLUTIONS.
Proprioception - accurate answers-The body's ability 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 - accurate answers-specialized structures that recognize
pressure in tissue and transmit signals to sensory nerves.
Muscle Spindles - accurate 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 - accurate 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 - accurate answers-connective tissue UNDER fascia that acts as an
outer layer of the whole muscle
Perimysium - accurate answers-connective tissue acts as an outer layer of
fascicles
Endomysium - accurate answers-between the individual muscle fibers
Type 1 Muscle Fiber - accurate answers-"slow-twitch", smaller in size,
lessforce produced, long-term contractions (stabilization)
Type 2 Muscle Fiber - accurate answers-fast twitch, larger, quick to fatigue,
force and power exercises
Agonist - accurate answers-PRIME MOVER, main muscles
ex: chest press-> pectoralis major
, Synergist - accurate answers-ASSIST PRIME MOVER,
ex: chest press -> ant deltoid, triceps
Stabilizer - accurate answers-stabilizes while prime mover and assist work.
chest press -> rotator cuff
Antagonist - accurate answers-Oppose Prime mover,
chest press -> posterior delt
Right Atrium - accurate answers-gather DEOXGENATED blood returning to
the heart from ENTIRE BODY
Left Atrium - accurate answers-gathers OXYGENATED blood coming from the
LUNGS
Right Ventricle - accurate answers-thin walls pumps under low pressure.
Pumps to lungs
Left Ventricle - accurate answers-thick walls, pumps under high pressure to
rest of body
Metabolism - accurate 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 - accurate answers-bioenergetics as it relates to the
unique physiologic changes and demands on body during exercise
Substrates - accurate answers-where enzymes act
Carbohydrates - accurate answers-Sugars, starches, and fiber. Provide the
body with a source of fuel and energy required for all daily activities
Glucose - accurate answers-a simple sugar that comes from the digestion of
carbs that is transported through the blood and is used or stored as energy
Glycogen - accurate answers-the stored form of carbs, when needed it
converts to glucose and used
