Energy Expenditure Flashcards
rely on feedback from various body parts
and provide feedforward signals according to general
(autonomic, innate,learned) principles and according to
situation-dependent (voluntary, motivational) Rules.
Control Centers
control center of the body
Brain
provides oxygen for
energy metabolism and dissipates metabolic
by-products.
Respiratory System
- carries oxygen from
the lungs to cells that consume oxygen. - brings βfuel,
β that is,
derivatives of carbohydrates and fats to the
cells and removes metabolic by-products
from the combustion sites.
Circulatory System
supports the chemical
processes in the body, particularly those that
yield energy
Metabolic System
Volumes of _______ L of blood in women and _______ L in men are normal.
4 - 4.5
5- 6
Dissolved materials carried by blood
Oxygen
Nutrients
hormones
enzymes
salts,
vitamins
transport oxygen
through
hemoglobin,
an
iron containing
protein
molecule.
Red blood cells
reacts with oxygen and
carbon dioxide simultaneously, but
has high affinity for carbon monoxide,
causing its toxicity.
Hemoglobin
Architecture of the Circulatory System
Systemic Circuits
Pulmonary Circuits
Self regulating process by which
internal stability of human body is
maintained while adjusting to
conditions optimal for survival
Homeostasis
Overtime, Homeostasis achieves balance between input and output where :
Inputs are ______
Outputs are ______
Nutrients, Proteins, (Food Intake)
Work and Heat
measured in terms of physically useful energy (when we perform tasks)
Work
A portion of the energy consumed is lost as ____. This helps in maintaining body temperature.
Heat
Refers to all chemical processes in the living body
Describes the overall energy yielding process
Metabolism
Defined as the ratio of work performed and energy input
Work efficiency
Types of Reactions
Catabolism
Anabolism
________ is exothermic (output). Breaking down of complex molecules into numerous simple ones.
Catabolism
________ is endothermic (input). Building complex molecules from simple ones.
Anabolism
Primary source of quick energy, converted to
glucose.
Stored as glycogen in muscles and liver
Carbohydrates
Major energy reserve, stored in adipose tissue.
Digestion releases glycerol and fatty acids for
energy.
The carrier of vitamins a, d, e and K in food
Fats
Chains of amino acids for body functions
(enzymes, hemoglobin).
Used as energy source when other fuels are
depleted
Proteins
