1. Small terminal branches of an artery - which end in capillaries






2. A layer of connective tissue that is underneath the fascia and surrounds the muscle.

5. Percentage of adults with cholesterol 200 mg/dl and over






6. People in this stage do not exercise and do not intend to start in the next 6 months






7. The examination of bioenergetics as it relates to the unique physiologic changes and demands placed on the body during exercise






8. Used in the treatment of hypertension and congestive heart failure - definitely lowers bp and can either maintain - lower or increase heart rate






9. Sensory receptors responsible for sensing distortion in body tissues






10. The very small veins that connect capillaries to the larger veins






11. Summaries are a series of reflections






12. Series of muscles that moves the skeleton.






13. The amount charged for a product or service






14. Weight over height essentially - 703 times weight over height squared for US (703*lbs / in^2) or kg / m^2 overseas






15. Knee






16. Biceps - triceps - iliac crest - subscapular






17. Full-body pushup calf raise -- resistance is in the middle with the fulcrum and effort on either side (wheelbarrow-like) -- ball of foot is the fulcrum - the body weight is the resistance - and the effort is applied by the calf musculature






18. Nerves that serve the outer areas of the body and skeletal muscle and are largely responsible for the voluntary control of movement






19. The neuromuscular response to the sensory information






20. Healthy total cholesterol level






21. Example of irregular bones






22. The formation of glucose from noncarbohydrate sources - such as amino acids






23. How often do i need to recertify?






24. Cartilage that covers the articular surfaces of bones.






25. The amount of blood pumped out of the heart with each contraction






26. Precontemplation - contemplation - preparation - action - maintenance






27. A dense membrane composed of fibrous connective tissue that closely wraps (invests) all bone - except that of the articulating surfaces in joints - which are covered by a synovial membrane.






28. The cumulative sensory input to the central nervous system from all mechanoreceptors that sense body position and limb movement






29. Bmi of 30+ - at least 30 lbs over recommended weight for their height






30. The process of actively or passively relaxing the inspiratory muscles to move air out of the body






31. Performing shoulder abduction






32. The smallest blood vessels - and the site of exchange of chemicals and water between the blood and the tissues






33. A hollow muscular organ that pumps a circulation of blood through the body by means of rhythmic contraction






34. Internal intercoastals - abdominals






35. Used in the treatment of various psychiatric and emotional disorders...either increases or maintain heart rate - either maintains or decreases bp






36. Amount of ACL injuries that occur in the US annually






37. The breakdown of triglycerides into smaller subunits called free fatty acids (ffaS) to convert ffaS into acyl-coA molecules - which then are available to enter the krebs cycle and ultimately lead to the production of additional atp.






38. Vessels that transport blood away from the heart






39. Muscle groups moving together to produce movement around a joint






40. People in this stage exercise occasionally but are planning to begin exercising regularly in the next month






41. Joints that are held together by a joint capsule and ligaments and are most associated with movement in the body.






42. Transmit nerve impulses from effector sites (such as muscles and organs) via receptors to the brain and spinal cord






43. Composed of skeletal structures (bones) and soft tissues (muscles) that work together to allow proper respiratory mechanics to occur and help pump blood back to the heart during inspiration






44. The channels that a product or service will go through to reach the customer






45. A motor neuron and all of the muscle fibers it innervates.






46. Posterior deltoid - biceps






47. Provide a resting ground for muscles and protection of vital organs






48. The material or substance on which an enzyme acts






49. Most limbs of the body - human forearm -- effort placed between the resistance and the fulcrum -- fulcrum is the elbow - effort is applied by the biceps muscle - and the load is in the hand such as a dumbbell...






50. Organic compounds of carbon - hydrogen - and oxygen - which include starches - cellulose - and sugars - and are an important source of energy. all carbs are eventually broken down in the body to glucose - a simple sugar.
