2025 QUESTIONS WITH CORRECT ANSWERS
Which of the following effects may be experienced with overtraining? - CORRECT
ANSWER High levels of cortisol, which lead to a catabolic environment. (Prolonged
bouts of training or overtraining have been found raise cortisol levels. Under these
circumstances, catabolism (breakdown) is likely to outstrip anabolism (buildup) and
impair performance.)
What type of vessel is responsible for carrying blood back to the heart? - CORRECT
ANSWER Veins. (Arteries carry blood away from the heart and transition to arterioles
(small arteries), which are connected to venules (small veins) by capillaries. From there,
via veins, blood is transported back to the heart.).
What is cardiac output? - CORRECT ANSWER The volume of blood pumped by the
heart per minute is cardiac output, which can be calculated by multiplying beats per
minute times stroke volume.
Where in the digestive system are most fluids absorbed? - CORRECT ANSWER
Small intestine
Abnormal breathing may be associated with which of the following effects? - CORRECT
ANSWER Abnormal breathing is characterized by rapid, shallow breaths, as well as
increased chest movements and use of secondary muscles (e.g., sternocleidomastoid).
Which heart chamber receives oxygenated blood and pumps it to the body? -
CORRECT ANSWER Left ventricle

2025 QUESTIONS WITH CORRECT ANSWERS
What is stroke volume? - CORRECT ANSWER The amount of blood pumped out of
the heart with each contraction
What is end-systolic volume? - CORRECT ANSWER The amount of blood remaining
in the ventricle after contraction
Where in the digestive system are most fluids absorbed? - CORRECT ANSWER
Small intestine
What is the primary function of the large intestine? - CORRECT ANSWER
Absorption of food and passage of waste into the rectum
motility, which is the passage of food through the digestive tract and includes
mastication (chewing), swallowing, digestion, and peristalsis. - CORRECT ANSWER
motility, which is the passage of food through the digestive tract and includes
mastication (chewing), swallowing, digestion, and peristalsis.
The esophagus and stomach are the beginning of the upper GI tract.Food from the
stomach is passed through the small intestine and into the large intestine, and
ultimately into the anal canal where it is excreted. Along the way, various mechanical
processes, hormones, and enzymes from organs that contribute to digestion aid in the
process. - CORRECT ANSWER The esophagus and stomach are the beginning of the
upper GI tract.Food from the stomach is passed through the small intestine and into the
large intestine, and ultimately into the anal canal where it is excreted. Along the way,

small intestine comprises - CORRECT ANSWER the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum
and resides between the stomach and the large intestine (Figure 6-16). It is called
small, because it is relatively small compared to the large intestine. From a length
perspective, the small intestine is roughly 3 meters (almost 10 feet). Food is first passed
into the duodenum, which is generally the first 10 inches. Food passes from the
duodenum into the jejunum and then ultimately into the ileum. From the ileum, food
passes into the large intestine.
LOWER GI TRACT - CORRECT ANSWER The large intestine (i.e., the colon) serves
in part to absorb electrolytes including water, and certain vitamins (Pandol et al., 2015).
The large intestine resides between the small intestine and the rectum and anal canal,
where waste product is passed out of the body (Figure 6-17). From an anatomical
perspective, the first area of the large intestine that receives food is the cecum (Pandol
et al., 2015). The cecum receives the chyme, which is then passed in order through the
ascending colon, transverse colon, descending colon, sigmoid colon, rectum, and anus
(Pandol et al., 2015). It is important to note that the large intestine has little to no
digestive function and serves primarily to absorb and pass waste into the rectum.
