NFPT exam |Questions with 100% verified
Answers
Fascia - ✔️✔️a thin sheath of fibrous tissue that is loose but strong, which provides support and
some protection by enclosing the muscle, or organ. Arranged in continuous lines. Trauma,
inactivity and muscle tension can reduce blood flow and cause inflammation of the fascia.
Fibrosis can occur. Myofascia release helps break the cycle of this condition.
Synergists - ✔️✔️Neutralize. When a group of muscles work together to optimally perform a
given motor task
Fixator - ✔️✔️Stabilization. A stabilizer that acts to eliminate the unwanted movement of an
agonist's, or prime mover's, origin.
Isometric Contraction - ✔️✔️No movement taking place
Isokinetic Contraction - ✔️✔️Muscle contracts and shortens at a constant rate of speed.
Isotonic Contraction - ✔️✔️Recognized as being simple contraction.
-Concentric Contraction: causes the muscle to decrease/shorten. Positive part of the rep.
Eccentric Contraction: Causes muscles to increase/lengthen. Negative part of rep.
3 Planes of Motion - ✔️✔️Sagital: divides body down the middle. (extension/flexion) Ex. Squat,
lunge, walking.
Frontal: divides body front half and back half. (abduction/adduction). Ex. Lateral raises, side
bends, military press.
Transverse: divides body superior and inferior. (Internal rotation/External rotation). Ex.
swinging golf club, baseball bat.
, Origin - ✔️✔️The point at which the muscle joins the stationary bone at the end closest to the
center of the body.
Number of muscles and bones - ✔️✔️206 bones
656 muscles
Types of muscles - ✔️✔️Smooth Muscle
Involuntary Muscles:
Voluntary Muscles (430)
Immune System - ✔️✔️includes several kinds of white cells found in the blood, body fluids, and
lymph nodes.
White cells can be found in... - ✔️✔️Lymph nodes: act as filters or germ traps. Tend to swell
when body has infection.
Thymus Gland: located in front of heart and back of sternum. Organ that produces and
educates T-cells.
Spleen: behind stomach. Acts as a blood filter.
Tonsils and Adenoids: patches of lymph tissue at the upper throat. Help destroy foreign
substances that are breathed in or swallowed.
Bodys defense mechanisms - ✔️✔️-the skin
-the linings of the respiratory and digestive passageways
-the blood clotting process
-the white cells and other substances in the blood
-the thymus gland in the chest, and the small lymph nodes or glands that are located
throughout the body
