This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. Vessels that transport blood from the capillaries toward the heart






2. The deepest layer of connective tissue that surrounds individual muscle fibers.






3. Transmit nerve impulses from the brain and spinal cord to effector sites






4. Chemical messengers that cross the neuromuscular junction (synapse) to transmit electrical impulses from the nerve to the muscle.

9. High risk total cholesterol level






10. Bmi of 25 to 29.9 - between 25 to 30 lbs over recommended weight for their height






11. Joint motion






12. Deltoid






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






14. Nodding the head -- top of the spinal column as fulcrum / joint axis in the middle ( seesaw-like)






15. Example of irregular bones






16. A system of the body composed of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems






17. High volume - moderate to high loads - moderate or low reps (6-12






18. 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






19. Summaries are a series of reflections






20. Moves predominantly in 2 planes of motion - only carpometacarpal






21. Connective tissues that attach muscle to bone and provide an anchor for muscles to produce force






22. Diaphragm - external intercostals - scalenes - sternocleidomastoid - pectoralis minor






23. The complex carb molecule used to store carbs in the liver and muscle cells. when carb energy is needed - glycogen is converted into glucose for use by the muscle cells






24. Prescribed for hypertension - congestive heart failure - peripheral edema - will maintain heart rate - and maintain or lower bp






25. Anterior deltoid - triceps






26. 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.






27. The combo and interrelation of the nervous - muscular - and skeletal systems






28. Transmit nerve impulses from one neuron to another






29. Heart rate x stroke volume - the overall performance of the heart






30. The region of long bone connecting the diaphysis to the epiphysis. It is a layer of subdividing cartilaginous cells in which growth in length of the diaphysis occurs.






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






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






33. The process of resorption and formation of bone

38. The central cavity of bone shafts where marrow is stored.






39. Number one important thing in the initial physical training session






40. Primary connective tissue that connects bones together and provides stability - input to the nervous syste - guidance - and the limitation of improper joint movement.






41. A specialized area of cardiac tissue located in the right atrium of the heart - which initiates the electrical impulses that determine the heart rate; often termed the pacemaker for the heart






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






43. The body's framework - composed of bones and joints






44. Sternum - ribs - vertebrae






45. Receptors sensitive to change in tension of the muscle and the rate of that change






46. The neuromuscular response to the sensory information






47. The end of long bones - which is mainly composed of cancellous bone - and house much of the red marrow involves in red blood cell production. They are also one of the primary sites for bone growth.






48. Decrease heart rate & blood pressure - normally used as antihypertensive medication or for arrhythmias (irregular heart rate)






49. A small mass of specialized cardiac muscle fibers - located in the wall of the right atrium of the heart - that receives heartbeat impulses from the sinoatrial node and directs them to the walls of the ventricles






50. Posterior deltoid
