Q

What does the nervous system fundamentally perform? (pg 87)

A

The activation and recruitment of muscles to create movement and stabilization forces within the skeletal framework.

Obtains sensory information, both internal and external, about the environment.

The transportation of air in and out of the body utilizing all components of the respiratory pump is referred to?(129)

A

Ventilation

125
Q

Maximal oxygen consumption VO2 max (131)

A

The highest rate of oxygen transport and utilization achieved at maximal physical exertion.

126
Q

Gland (131)

A

An organ that secretes hormones into the bloodstream to regulate a variety of bodily functions, such as mood, growth and development, tissue function, or metabolism.

127
Q

Hormones (132)

A

Chemical messengers that enter the bloodstream and attach to target tissues and organs.

128
Q

Target cells (132)

A

Have hormone-specific receptors, ensuring that each hormone will communicate only with specific target cells.

129
Q

name a few of the functions of the endocrine system (132)

A

Triggering muscle contraction, stimulating protein and fat synthesis, activating enzyme systems, regulating growth and metabolism, and determining how the body will respond to stressors.

130
Q

What is considered to be the “master gland” of the endocrine system and why?

A

The pituitary gland. The pituitary gland controls all of the functions of the glands within this system.

131
Q

Epinephrine and norepinephrine are considered what…? (133)

A

Catecholamines

132
Q

In preparation for physical activity the hypothalamus triggers what gland to produce more epinephrine?

A

Adrenal glands

133
Q

What is the primary responsibility of testosterone within the body of males and females? (133)

A

The growth and repair of tissue.

134
Q

What can potentially lead to elevated cortisol levels?

A

Chronic stress from overtraining, excessive stress, poor sleep quality, and inadequate nutrition have the potential to increased cortisol levels.

135
Q

Cortisol is associated with what primary function within the body? (134)

A

Associated with the breakdown of tissue.

136
Q

What possible side effects can be experienced with the elevation of cortisol levels? (134)

A

Catabolism, or the breakdown of muscle tissue, decreased fat utilization, increased body composition (specifically abdominal fat), and a decrease in metabolism.

137
Q

How does cortisol activate within the body? (134)

A

Acute stress, such as exercise can cause the adrenal glands to secrete cortisol. This activation of cortisol serves to maintain the energy supply through the breakdown of carbohydrates, fats, and protein.

138
Q

What are some of the responsibilities of growth hormone? (134)

A

Increases the development of bone and muscle, and the promotion of protein synthesis and fat burning; it also strengthens the immune system.

139
Q

What are some of the responsibilities of thyroid hormones (134)

A

Carb, fat, and protein metabolism, basal metabolic rate, protein synthesis, heart rate, breathing rate, body temperature, and sensitivity to epinephrine.

140
Q

Research has indicated that the increase in testosterone and growth hormone are due to these two types of training? (134)

A

The increase primarily after hypertrophy training and moderately with maximum strength lifts.
