Myocardial Infarction - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔Hear attack occurs due to lack of blood flow
through the coronary arteries to the heart muscle
Ischemia - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔lack of blood flow
Stroke Volume - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔the amount of blood pumped with each beat or systole
Cardiac Output - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔heart rate x stroke volume. usually measured in liters (or
milileters) of blood pumped per minute
Venous Return - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔The amount of blood returned to the heart by the veins
Valsalva Maneuver - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔occurs when a person holds his or her breath during
a strenuous activity, such as lifting weights or shoveling snow
Minute Ventilation - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔total amount of air breathed per minute
Residual lung volume - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔amount of air remaining in the lungs after a
complete and total forced exhale

maximal inahle
,Total lung capacity - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔sum of the residual volume and the forced vital
capacity
Glucose - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔body's usable form of carbohydrate
Lactic Acid - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔produced in muscles during rapid exercise when the body
cannot supply enough oxygen to the tissues
Glycolysis - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔a metabolic process that breaks down carbohydrates and
sugars through a series of reactions to either pyruvic acid or lactic acid and release energy for

utilized by the body during an all-out effort to exhaustion
, Excess Post-Exercise Oxygen Consumption - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔additional oxygen consumed
immediately after an exercise bout when the body is no longer exercising
Sarcomere - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔each section of a myofibril in muscle

facing forward
Supine - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔lying on the spine
Prone - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔lying face down
Axial Skeleton - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔part of the skeleton that contains skull, vertebral column,
ribs, and sternum
Synovial joints - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔have a small space between the articulating bones that
allows for a greater range of motion
Cartilage - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔a white, semi-opaque, fibrous connective tissue that cushions
the joints and prevents wear on the joint surfaces
Synovial membrane - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔secretes synovial fluid which provides nourishment,
lubrication, and hydrotastic cushioning for the joint
