Arterial Stiffness - Answer -Rigidity of blood vessels increasing reverb back to the heart, leading to higher blood pressure. Arterial Compliance - Answer -Ability of the blood vessel wall to expand and contract passively with changes in pressure, calculated by change in Volume by change in Pressure. Perfusion Pressure - Answer -The pressure from the arterial side to the venous side of the vessel. Transmural Pressure - Answer -The pressure difference across the vessel wall. Left Ventricle - Answer -Part of the heart responsible for inducing blood flow through the body and allowing it to fill up with more blood. Aorta - Answer -The opening in the heart through which oxygenated blood flows out from the left ventricle. Tonometer - Answer -Instrument for measuring the pressure of blood vessels. Carotid Artery - Answer -Major artery in the neck where the pulse can be felt. Femoral Artery - Answer -Major artery supplying blood to the legs through the hip.

HKIN 191 MIDTERM STUDY GUIDE
Anatomy - Answer -the study of the structure and relationships between body parts

Physiology - Answer -the study of how body parts come together to function and keep
you alive

Complementarity of Structure and Function - Answer -the basic idea that what a
structure can do depends on its specific form

What are the structural organization components of the human body (Smallest to
largest)? - Answer -Atoms --> Cells --> Tissues --> Organs --> Organ Systems --> The
Body

Homeostasis - Answer -the ability to maintain stable internal conditions no matter what
changes are happening outside the body. The body is always trying to return to
homeostasis through a variety of negative feedback loops

What are vital signs (rest)? And their normal ranges? - Answer -Body Temperature
(36.5-37.2 degrees), Paulse Rate (60-100 bpm), Respiration rate (# of breaths per
minute (12-16)) , blood pressure (not considered a vial sign but often measured with the
vitals (120/80)).

Sedentary physiology - Answer -the behaviour of the body in relation to little or no
physical activity. Explores the relationship between major health outcomes and
sedentary behaviour.

Exercise Physiology - Answer -the study of the acute (immediate) responses to chronic
(long-term) adaptations to exercise

sleep - Answer -a condition of the body and mind which typically recurs for several
hours every night in which muscles are relaxed and consciousness is suspended and
the nervous system is said to be relatively inactive but... DREAMS AND REM AN.D
MEMORY RETENTION.

sedentary - Answer -a distinct class of behaviours using little physical movements and
low energy expenditure (<1.5 METs)

physical activity - Answer -body movement activities consisting of moderate to vigorous
intensities

physically active - Answer -a person who meets the guidelines for physical activity

physical inactivity - Answer -the absence of physical activity/ the amount of time not
engaged in physical activity

, exercise - Answer -activity requiring effort to sustain and improve health and fitness
*purposeful

Intensity - Answer -the rate at which the activity is being performed/magnitude of effort
required/how hard a person works to do the activity

metabolic equivalents (METs) - Answer -(1 MET = 1kcal/kg/hr) the ratio of a person's
working metabolic rate relative to their resting one

light intensity activity - Answer -involves all movements <3 METs and >1.5 METs
(lifestyle embedded activities)

moderate intensity activity - Answer -activity that requires a moderate amount of effort
and noticeably accelerates heart rate, 3-6 METs

vigorous intensity activity - Answer -large amount of effort causes rapid breathing and a
substantial increase in heart rate >6 METs

Canadian Physical Activity Guidelines - Answer -to achieve health benefits 18-64 yo.
should do a minimum of 150 minutes of MVPA and 2 days of muscle strengthening

FIIT formula - Answer -Frequency, Intensity, Time, Type

SIIT Formula - Answer -Sedentary counterpart of FIIT: Sedentary behaviour frequency,
interruptions, time, type

Specificity - Answer -adaptation of the body or change in physical fitness is specific to
the type of training being done

Overload - Answer -as bodies adjust to existing workouts, we must work even harder to
improve further

Progression - Answer -process of advancing and moving forward by increasing
overload, which can be achieved by using FITT (frequency, intensity, time, and type)
when your body adapts to its present routine

Reversibility - Answer -athletes can lose the effects of training when they stop but gain
them back again once they start again

Individual needs - Answer -An individual's specified needs in relation to their sport, age,
gender, and fitness level regarding training.

Recovery/Rest - Answer -allowing the muscles to relax and replenish glycogen which is
necessary for repairing those muscles to be prepared for their next use. Both resting
and recovery aim to enhance the process and improve performance.
