Q

Hypothalamus + Pituitary Gland Relationship

A

Responsible for homeostasis

The pituitary gland secretes hormones, such as Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) and growth hormone (GH), that help regulate a wide range of bodily functions including growth, and water and temperature regulation.

Hypothalamus stimulates pituitary gland

Q

Circulating and Local Hormones:

A

Hormones are secreted by glands for bodily functions
Circulating hormones travel around the body through the blood (e.g testosterone)
Local hormones act on neighboring cells (e.g serotonin)
Circulating hormones regulate by complex feedback loops signaled by nervous system

Q

Give an example of a negative feedback loop and contrast it to a positive feedback loop in the endocrine system. (4)

A

A negative feedback loop: blood glucose regulation to keep the body stable.
- When blood glucose rises after eating, the pancreas releases insulin, which lowers glucose levels. When glucose is low, the pancreas releases glucagon, which raises glucose levels.

A positive feedback loop: like during childbirth,
- Pressure on the cervix causes the release of oxytocin, leading to stronger contractions and more pressure, continuing until the baby is born.

Negative feedback maintains balance in the body, while positive feedback drives processes to completion.

Autonomic Nervous System: Controls involuntary functions.

Sympathetic (SNS): ‘Fight or flight,’ increases heart rate, dilates pupils, inhibits digestion, uses norepinephrine.

Parasympathetic (PNS): ‘Rest and digest,’ decreases heart rate, constricts pupils, stimulates digestion, uses acetylcholine.

24
Q

Motor Unit:

A
25
Q

Skeletal Muscle FIber Types:

A
26
Q

Sliding Filament Theory:

A

Thin actin + thick actin overlap but don’t connect

When your brain sends a signal to your muscles to contract

Myosin filaments grab onto actin filaments and create “bridges”

When myosin filaments pull actin filaments they slide past each other which makes the muscle shorter this causes the muscle to contract

When the brain signals the muscle to relax myosin lets go of the filament and the muscle returns to its longer state.

41
Q

Skin Structures:

A
42
Q

Skin functions:

A

Regulation of Body Temperature:
Homeostasis

Peripheral Vasoconstriction:
Constriction of the blood vessels near to the skin and skeletal muscles →more blood near to core → temperature elevated

Goosebumps:
Skin raises body temperature by the contraction of the arrector pili muscles which cause hair to stand and capture a layer of heat.

Peripheral Vasodilation:
The smooth muscle lining in the dermis relaxes allowing more blood to enter the skin which transports heat from the core to the skin to radiate out of the body and into the external environment

Sweating:
Heat from the body is passed outside of the body as sweat which is then evaporated into the external environment

Excretion:
In addition to sweat glands let out waste products, sweat contains electrolytes to reduce amount of waste in the body

Vitamin D Synthesis:
Vitamin D is produced when UV touches the skin - necessary for absorption of calcium

43
Q

Composition of Blood:

A

Blood is composed of cells (erythrocytes, leukocytes and platelets) and plasma. Blood is also the transport vehicle for electrolytes, proteins, gasses, nutrients, waste products and hormones.

Plasma 55%
Erythrocytes (Red Blood Cells) 45%
Leukocytes (White Blood Cells) & Platelets<1%

44
Q

Role of hemoglobin in oxygen transportation:

A

Most (98.5%) of oxygen in the blood is transported by hemoglobin as oxyhemoglobin within red blood cells.

45
Q

Distinguish between the functions of erythrocytes, leukocytes and platelets:

A

Erythrocytes (red blood cells):
transport oxygen, using hemoglobin.

Leucocytes (white blood cells):
immune system, protect the body against infection and foreign invaders.

Platelets:
blood clotting, prevent blood loss

46
Q

47
Q

48
Q

Heart Valves:

A
49
Q

Blood Pressure:

A

Systolic Blood Pressure:
When the heart contracts

Diastolic Blood Pressure:
The pressure when the heart relaxes

Dynamic vs Static Blood Pressure:
Static has a greater affect on blood pressure because there is a sustained muscular force that compresses peripheral arteries increasing blood flow resistance

50
Q

Discuss how systolic and diastolic blood pressure respond to dynamic and static
Exercise.

A

During dynamic exercise ( running)

systolic blood pressure (SBP) increases due to higher cardiac output, while diastolic blood pressure (DBP) remains the same or decreases slightly because of blood vessel dilation.

During static exercise ( weightlifting)
SBP and DBP increase
SBP rises significantly due to increased cardiac output and vascular resistance from muscle contractions, while DBP moderately increases because constant muscle contractions reduce blood vessel dilation. These differences highlight how the body’s cardiovascular response varies with the type of exercise.

51
Q

Respiratory Main structures:

A
52
Q

Lung Capacity (spiro)

A

TLC: Total Lung Capacity
Volume of air in the lungs after a maximal inhalation
TV: Tidal Volume
Volume of air breathed in and out in any one breath
ERV: Expiratory Reserve Volume
Volume of excess air from tidal volume that can be exhaled forcibly
IRV: Inspiratory Reserve Volume:
Additional inspired air over and above tidal volume
Residual Volume:
Volume of air still contained in the lungs after a maximal exhalation

53
Q

Gas Exchange:

A

Occurs in Alveoli: Oxygen diffuses into the blood; carbon dioxide diffuses out.

Oxygen diffuses from the site of higher pressure (alveolar air) to the site of lower pressure (capillary blood).

Gas moves across epithelial cells (single cells on the outer linings of our bodies) that separates alveoli from capillaries (tiny blood vessels)

Movement is due to differences in pressure (how frequently the gas bumps into you) of CO2 and O2 in the pulmonary system .

54
Q

Amino acids:

A

Protein is formed by Amino Acid chains and are linked in chains through peptide bonds

The body breaks down food into amino acids and then makes its own proteins

20 amino acids are needed for protein synthesis to occur in the human body

8 are essential that must come from the diet

Not all proteins contain amino acids therefore it is important to eat a range of protein

55
Q

Susceptibility to disease / infectivity (exercise and immunity)

A

Athletes are more susceptible to infections than their sedentary peers because of:
lower leukocyte numbers caused by the stress of the exercise
inflammation caused by muscle damage
greater exposure to airborne bacteria and viruses because of an increased rate and depth of breathing.

Moderate exercise, however, is associated with reduced susceptibility to infection.

56
Q

Aerobic + anaerobic Exercise

A

Aerobic Exercise:

Requires oxygen.
Low to moderate intensity, long duration.
Energy from carbohydrates, fats, and proteins.
Benefits cardiovascular and respiratory systems.

Anaerobic Exercise:

Does not require oxygen.
High intensity, short duration.
Energy from stored muscle sources.
Builds strength and power.

57
Q

Aerobic + anaerobic metabolism

A

Anaerobic:
chemical reactions that break down complex organic compounds into simpler ones with a net release of energy

Aerobic:
compounds breaking down in presence of oxygen
