A

Where you get a record of what they ate of the past couple of days

27
Q

Is gangrene and tetanus an anaerobic or aerobic bacteria?

A

Anaerobic

28
Q

What is heart rate variability?

A

The amount of time between heartbeats and how how it varies

29
Q

Is high heart rate variability better than low heart rate variability?

A

YES IT IS HELPS YOU ADAPT AND MEANS YOU ARE MORE IN SHAPE

30
Q

What happens if you have low heart rate variability?

A

More inflammation in the body

31
Q

What is clinical exercise physiology?

A
  • Provides therapeutic or functional benefits to people with disease conditions or physical disabilities
  • To have an understanding of how the body responds to acute and chronic physical activity
32
Q

What does physical activity and exercise prevent?

A

Delay of the onset of chronic disease

33
Q

What is Laparoscopic surgery?

A

Helps assess the presence of cardiovascular or pulmonary disease

Q

What does EKG/ECG measure?

A

Shows what the electrical activity of the heart is. Important to give the body some stress.

42

44
Q

Does your heart get to rest and work less if you have high blood pressure?

A

NO AND CAUSES CHRONIC HEART FAILURE

45
Q

What is hypertension?

A

Where your blood pressure is to high all the time and causes a lot of different heart diseases

46
Q

What is coronary artery disease, and angina pectoris?

A

Coronary artery disease (plaque fat build up in the arteries, to help it you put a stint in the artery to expand it)

Angina Pectoris (where the heart doesn’t receive enough blood or oxygen caused by plaque buildup)

47
Q

What is cardiac arrhythmia and valvular heart disease?

A

Cardiac arrhythmia (when your heart rate is off like super off) (burn the SA node and add the pacemaker)

Valvular heart disease (congenital disease, blood goes back into the atrium not flowing the right way)

48
Q

What is chronic heart failure dilated myotrophin and peripheral vascular disease?

A

Chronic Heart Failure dilated myotrophin (when the heart walls get too thick and wither away) (it works too hard and just burns out)

Peripheral vascular disease SEE A LOT(vascular problem in the peripheral, bad blood flow to the extremities of the body hands and feet, small blood vessels in the body. High blood glucose is the problem of this) ( have diabetic socks to have this and have no seam on the socks so they don’t get blisters or their foot could fall off)

49
Q

What is myocardial infarction?

A

when blood flow to the heart is blocked, causing the heart muscle to die from lack of oxygen

50
Q

What is fibrous plaque in the arteries?

A

form connective tissues to the fat plaque when the fat plaque is in the artery for a while

51
Q

What is the difference between COPD, Asthma, and Restrictive, cystic fibrosis pulmonary disease

A

COPD (chronic inflammation or loss of the tissue in the lungs and alveoli) (they cannot get their air out well enough) (over filling their lungs can damage the lungs) (loss of tissue is where it expands) (breathing small particles can cause the tissues in the lungs to lose function)

Asthma (inflammation in the respiratory system)

Restrictive pulmonary disease (makes it harder to breathe in oxygen)

Cystic fibrosis ( A genetic disorder that produces mucus. Mucus blocks airways, making it hard to breathe and leading to lung damage and infections
