What are the 4 Structural Levels in the Body?
Cells, tissues, organs, and systems
Cells are
most basic structural level; make up tissues
Tissues are
2nd most basic structural level; make up organs
Organs are
3rd most basic structural level; formed by 2 or more tissues
Systems are
most complext structural level; composed of organs that function cooperatively & have a common purpose
Fitness Pro's Should be Familiar with the Following Systems
Cardiovascular, Respiratory, Digestive, Skeletal, Nervous, Muscular, and Endocrine
Cardiovascular System - What is it?
Closed - circuit system composed of the heart, blood vessels, and blood
Cardiovascular System - What does it do?
Plays important role in temperature regulation and acid base balance
What is the Cardiovascular process?
Blood flows from heart to arteries, to capilaries, to veins, back to heart, to the lungs, back to heart again, back to arteries.
Blood - What does it do?
delivers oxygen and nutrients to tissues, removes waste, links internal and external environment by transporting between the two
Describe Oxygen Process
mouth & nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, prim. bronchii, sec. bronchii, bronchioles, alveoli, & lungs
Describe Digestive Process
food - mouth, digestive tract, mechanical food prep., chemical food prep., absorption into circulatory and lymphatic systems, defacation
Central Nervous System vs Peripheral Nervous System
CNS=Completely enclosed in bone, PNS=connected to extremities
Explain joint movement of: Synovial, Cartilaginous, & Fibrous
S: free movement, C: held by cartilage; no movement/ joint cavity, F: held by fiber; little movement; no joint cavity
Types of Blood Vessels
Arteries - Arterioles, Capillaries, Veins - Venules
The Heart is
4 chambers, 2 pumps in one (right=pulmonary circulation; left=systemic circulation)
Systole
contraction phase, blood leaves ventricles
Diastole
relaxation phase, blood fills ventricles
Respiratory System. What does it do?
exchange gases between external and internal environ. & tissues, replaces oxygen & removes waste from blood, acid-base balance regulation
Dangers of working past the burning feeling
feeling is a warning of possible injury
Organ primarily responsible for digestion and absorption of nutrients
Small intestine
During dynamic and static stretching which soft tissue contributes least to resistance?
skin
Prime movers for shoulder joint adduction during wide grip pull-up
pectarolis major, latissimus dorsi
Pronation
rotation of the hands and forearms so that the palms face downward
Suppination
rotation of the hands and forearms so that the palms face upward
Factors that contribute to flexibility
age, gender, joint structure & past injury, tissue temp., circadian variations
3 forms of connective tissue related most to personal training
tendons, ligaments, & fasciae
Wolff's Law is important because
it explains how bones increase in density in response to stress through excersize
3 types of musc. tissue
skeletal (voluntary), smooth musc. (involuntary), cardiac. (involuntary)
Musc. fiber types
fast twitch (type 2 - 2x & 2a), slow twitch (type 1)
which musc. fiber is most adaptable?
type 2a
Cardiorespiratory system. What is it?
the capacity of the heart & lungs to deliver blood & oxygen to musc.
Foods are made up of
carbs, fats, and protein
What is the ventilatory threshhold?
before VT1: speaking is confortable, VT1: speaking is difficult, VT2: not comfortable to speak
What is the "stop now temp."?
104 f (40 c)
What is the most stressful environ. for excersize?
hot-humid
Tips for excersizing in heat
7-10 day acclimatization, lightweight/color clothing, no impermeable clothing, hydrate freq. & small, replace body lbs in h2o, ventilation
Tips for excersizing in the cold
layers, head cover, ventilation, use wool, nylon, gortex, hydrate, monitor body lbs, toward wind first
Tips for High Altitude Excersize
reduce excersize intensity, 2 weeks - several month acclimatization
Symptoms of altitude sickness
shortness of breath, headache, lightheaded, and nausea
Tips for excerise in polluted area
work out in the early morning, avoid high traffic urban areas, if necessary do indoors
Essential Fat
amount of body fat essential for life (2 - 5 % for men; 10 - 13 % for women)
Storage Fat
body fat stored in excess of essential fat
Skeletal System. What does it do?
performs support, movement, protection, storage & formation of blood cells; provides attachment sites for most musc.'s
Formed Elements VS Plasma
FE: living - red/white blood cells, platelets; P: non-living water & dissolved solutes
Nervous System. What does it do?
gathers info., stores it, controls various bodily systems in responce to input
4 angular movements for synovial joints
flexion, extension, abduction, adduction
Axial VS Appendicular Skeleton
Ax: 74 bones - head, neck, & trunk; Ap: 126 bones, extremities
Musc. group most important for breathing

Relative contribution of soft tissues to total resistance encountered by joint during movement
ligaments (joint capsule) - 47 %, fascia (musc.) - 41 %, tendons - 10 %, skin - 2 %
How does the pancreas help regulate blood glucose levels?
it secretes glucagon to increase blood glucose and secretes insulin to increase glucose uptake by cells
