Anatomy II Final Flashcards
What is the difference between catabolic reaction and anabolic reaction?
Anabolic reactions are building up and catabolic reactions are breaking down.
What are the three steps of cellular respiration, in order.
- Glycolysis
- Krebs Cycle
- Oxidative Phosphorylation
Where are the receptors for water soluble hormones located?
Receptors for water soluble hormones are located on the plasma membrane
Where are receptors located for lipid soluble hormones?
Receptors for lipid soluble hormones are located within the cell.
Insulin is responsible for?
causing cells to take sugar out of blood to regulate blood sugar
Diabetics face problems with
Blood glucose staying high, due to problem with insulin. Therefore, the cells are starving because they are not taking in any sugar from the blood.
The problem with type 1 diabetes is
the pancreas is not making an insulin at all
The problem with type 2 diabetes is
insulin is being produced, but the cells are not responding to it; insulin resistant
Define hematocrit.
the amount of red blood cells in whole blood
What is the function of erythropoietin?
it regulates hematocrit; it is made in the kidneys, and goes to the red bone marrow to stimulate the production of more RBC’s
What does hemoglobin do?
Hemoglobin transports oxygen throughout the body. “The bus that oxygen rides around on.”
What is the official clinical reading for high blood pressure?
140/90
In order to be diagnosed with hypertension…
a high blood pressure must be sustained over a period of time with multiple readings
What are the two ways the body regulates blood pressure.
- cardiac output(how slow or fast the heart is beating)
- vasoconstriction/vasodilation of the blood vessels
What is a gradient:
Things always want to go from high to low
What are the final products of glycolysis?
-2 pyruvic acid
-2 NADH
-net gain of 2 ATP
What are the final products of the Krebs Cycle?
-8 NADH
-2 FADH
-6 CO2
-2 ATP
The receptor for lipid soluble hormones are located
within the cell
The receptor for water soluble hormones is located
on the plasma membrane of the cell
What are some examples of lipid soluble hormones?
testosterone, estrogen, cortisol, aldosterone
What are some examples of water soluble hormones?
epinephrine, glucagon, dopamine
What happens if the Krebs Cycle is deactivated?
electron transport is directly prevented
How is oxygen used in oxidative phosphrylation?
oxygen is the final electron acceptor in oxidative phosphorylation and combines with hydrogen to form H2O as an output
What are the inputs of oxidative phosphorylation?
NADH & FADH(as the electron donors in oxidative phosphorylation), and oxygen
What are outputs of oxidative phosphorylation?
ATP and H2O
_______ is storable glucose, because the body will immediately use _____.
Glycogen; ATP
Glycogenesis is
glycogen formation
Glycogenolysis is
glycogen breakdown
Carbo loading allows for
muscles to store more glycogen
Glucose is formed in ______ from _______ and _____ _____.
liver; glycerol; amino acids
Describe the absorptive state
food in stomach; energy sources supplied by food; anabolism exceeds catabolism; primarily controlled by insulin
Describe the postabsorptive state
GI tract empty; energy sources supplied by breakdown of reserves
Insulin secretion is stimulated by
elevated blood glucose levels
During the postabsorptive state ________ exceeds ________.
catabolism exceeds anabolism
The goal of the postabsorptive state is to
maintain blood glucose between meals
Glycogenolysis occurs in
the liver
Glycogenesis occurs in
skeletal muscle
Lipolysis occurs in
adipose tissues and liver
Is oxidative phosphorylation aerobic or anaerobic?
aerobic
Is the Krebs cycle aerobic or anaerobic?
anaerobic
Identify whether the three parts of cellular respiration are aerobic or anaerobic.
Glycolysis-anaerobic
Krebs Cycle- anaerobic
Oxidative Phosphorylation- aerobic
What is the job of lipoproteins?
transport water insoluble cholesterol in blood
What is the difference between HDLs and LDLs?
HDL-healthy
LDL-lousy
Statins are
cholesterol lowering drugs
A calorimeter measures
heat liberated into water chamber
A respirometer measures
oxygen consumption
Basal metabolic rate is
the energy the body needs to perform its most essential activities
Normal body temp is
98.6
Heat is lost through(RECC)
Radiation
Evaporation
Conduction
Convection
What part of the body has the highest temperature?
core
What part of the body has the lowest temperature?
shell(skin)
Radiation is
loss of heat by infrared rays
Conduction is
transfer of heat by direct contact
Convection is
transfer of heat to surrounding air
Evaporation is
heat loss due to evaporation of water from body surface
Insensible heat loss is
heat loss through lungs, oral mucosa, skin
Sensible heat loss
body temp rises and sweating increases water vaporization
When overheated, the body will
dilate cutaneous blood vessels
Controlled hyperthermia is commonly known as
fever
Water soluble hormones can enter the cell. T/F
False; only lipid soluble hormones can enter the target cell.
Target cells are defined as
tissues with receptors for specific hormones
Endocrine glands release hormones in response to
-humoral stimuli
-neural stimuli
-hormonal stimuli
What is humoral stimuli
changing blood levels that directly stimulate the secretion of hormones
What is neural stimuli?
nerve fibers that stimulate hormone release
Ex: fight or flight
What is hormonal stimulus?
hormones stimulate other endocrine organs to release their hormones
Posterior pituitary hormones include
oxytocin and ADH
