Endocrine System Part 2 Flashcards
major actions of E/NE
- maintain plasma glucose
- maintain blood pressure
- increase HR and force of contraction
- bronchondilation
- BF distribution vs. vasoconstriction/vasodilation
- -increase metabolic rate
Quickest acting hormones
E/NE
-quickest acting hormones. activity starts within 5 seconds. max activity reached in 10-20 seconds. activity ends 1-5 minutes
Uses alpha adrenergic receptors
Norepinephrine
Uses beta adrenergic receptors
Epinephrine
training effects of E/NE?
- at sub maximal intensities, training blunts E/NE responses
- near or at maximal intensity, training enhances E/NE responses
Overtraining and E/NE?
E/NE become chronically high when overtraining
Endocrine Parts of Pancreas?
Islets of Langerhans
- alpha cells
- beta cells
- gamma cells
Which hormone is secreted by alpha cells
glucagon
Which hormone is secreted by beta cells
insulin
Which hormone is secreted by gamma cells
somatostatin
Insulin is stimulated by
hyperglycemia
Primary effects of insulin
- facilitate glucose entry into cells
- GLUT-4
Secondary effects of insulin
-promote fuel synthesis and storage
2 types of diabetes
Type I
Type II
Type I Diabetes
- sudden onset
- autoimmune disease, sometimes associated with viral infections
- little heredity link
- destruction of beta cells (little to no insulin produced)
- average onset 14 years-juvinele diabetes
- treated with daily insulin injections
