2024 NASM Final Exam Prep New Full Questions and Answers ( Included ) 100% Correct
- The Cumulative sensory input to the central nervous system from all mechanoreceptors that
sense body position and limb movement
Answer: Proprioception
- Sensory receptors for sensing touch, pressure, stretching, motion, and transmit impulses
through sensory nerves.
Answer: Mechanoreceptors
- Sensory receptors within muscles that run parallel to the muscle fibers.. sensitive to change
in muscle length and rate of length change.
Answer: Muscle Spindles
- When a muscle is stretched the impulse sent to the spinal cord responses to contract the
muscle.
Answer: Stretch reflex mechanism
- Specialized sensory receptors located at the where muscle fibers insert into the tendons of
skeletal muscles.
Answer: Golgi Tendon Organs
- Sensitive to changes in muscular tension and rate of the tension change.. cause the muscle
to relax.
Answer: Golgi tendon Organs function
- Consists of the brain and the spinal cord. Coordinates the activity of all parts of the body.
Answer: Nervous System
- The nerves that connect the rest of body to the CNS
Answer: Peripheral Nervous System
- A series of muscles that connect to bones that contract and relax to move the skeletal
system.
Answer: Muscular System
- The first layer of connective tissue that surrounds the muscle fibers.
Answer: -Epimysium
- The deepest layer of connect tissue that surrounds the single muscle fiber.
Answer: Endomysium
- / 2
- The second layer of connective tissue that surrounds all the fascicles of the muscle. Each
Fascicle holds many muscle fibers .
Answer: Perimysium
- The first outter layer is the muscle belly composed of the Epimysium. That muscle belly is
composed of many Fascicles.. an single fascicle houses many muscle fibers.
Answer: anatomy muscle
- ACh Released, and binds to receptors
Answer: Step 1 in initiating Contraction
- The connection of ONE MOTOR neuron and all of the muscles it innervates-
Answer: Motor Unit
- Theory that describes how thick and thin filaments within the sarcomere slide past one
another, shortening in length, shortening the muscle and producing force.
Answer: Sliding Filament Theory
- Small in size, less forced produced, slow to fatigue, long term contractions-
Answer: Type 1 (Slow twich)
- Less oxygen delivered. Large in size, more force production, quick to fatigue, short
contraction.
Answer: Type 2 ( fast twitch)
- responsible for main movement. Such as chest press would use the Pectoralis Major.
Answer: Agonist ( Prime Mover)
- Assist prime mover. Such as the HAMSTRING helping the GLUTEUS MAX- IMUS
during Squats.
Answer: Synergist ( assistant)
- The Rotator cuff helps with the chest press to make sure it moves properly.
Answer: Stabilizer ( hold everything in place as prime movers and synergist work)
- Relaxes as the prime mover contacts. Such as the triceps relaxes as the bicep contracts.
Answer: Antagonist ( opposite of Prime mover)
- Transport, Regulation, and Protection
Answer: Supporting Mechanism of blood
- Oxygen and Nutrients, waste, hormones, and carries heat.: What does blood transport?
- Body temperature and acid balance.: What does blood regulate?
