Myocardial Infarction correct answers Heart attack

Ischemia correct answers Lack of blood flow

Stroke Volume correct answers The amount of blood pumped with each beat

Venous Return correct answers Blood going back into the heart

Cardiac Output correct answers Blood pumped per minute (measured in L)

Minute Ventilation correct answers Total amount of air breathed per minute

Valsalva Maneuver correct answers Holding your breath during strenuous activity

Residual Lung Volume correct answers Amount of air remaining after a complete and total
forced exhale

Forced Vital Capacity correct answers Amount of air remaining that can be forcefully exhaled
after a max inhale

Total Lung Capacity correct answers Sum of residual volume + the forced vital cpacity

Describe the blood flow patterns of the Circulatory System correct answers The nasal cavity is
where the oxygen comes through into the larynx. Air flows from the larynx to the trachea and
into the lungs. From there, the trachea branches into the right and left lung, In each lung, each
bronchus branches into bronchioles that then lead into the alveolar ducts

*The AORTA is the largest artery in the body*

Describe the process of the Pulmonary System correct answers 1. Nasal Cavity - the start of the
airway
2. Larynx - holds the vocal cords/ a passageway to the lungs
3. Trachea - connects the larynx to the lungs. Foreign bodies, such as food can get lodged here
4. Primary Bronchi - the main passageway to the lungs
5. Right and Left Lung - a pair of breathing organs that remove carbon dioxide and bring oxygen
to the blood
6. Bronchioles - tiny passageways branching from the bronchi to the lungs
7. Alveoli - tiny air sacs at the end of the bronchioles (grape-like)

Define Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) correct answers A molecule found in every cell of the
body composed of adenosine, ribose and 3 phosphate groups

,Adenosine - P ~ P ~ P
~ = high energy bond
- = low energy bond

List three (3) metabolic pathways or energy systems . correct answers 1. The phosphagen (ATD-
PC) system
2. The anaerobic glycolytic (lactic acid) system
3. The aerobic (oxidative) system

Which energy system uses glucose, fat and protein for fuel? correct answers Aerobic system

Which energy system has a limiting factor of a small supply of stored CP? correct answers
Phosphagen system

Glucose correct answers The body's usable form of carbohydrate

Lactic Acid correct answers When glucose is broken down during strenuous activity (not enough
oxygen present and will have you sore)

Glycolysis correct answers Breakdown of glucose by enzymes, releasing energy and pyruvic
acid

Mitochondria correct answers A subcellular structure where oxidation occurs

Beta Oxidation correct answers Oxidation of fatty acid

Krebs Cycle correct answers Enzymatic reactions in aerobic organisms; main source of cellular
energy

Electron Transport System correct answers Transfer of electrons from electron acceptor to
generate ATP synthesis

Anaerobic Threshold correct answers The work becomes so intense that the muscles cannot
produce the additional energy aerobically, and so begin to rely more and more on the anaerobic
glycolytic system to produce ATP

Maximal Oxygen Uptake (VO2max) correct answers the max amount of oxygen consumed and
utilized by the body during an all-out effort to exhaustion

Describe the Nervous System. correct answers (Brain, spinal cord, and complex network of
