EXERCISE and the Endocrine System / 3 Flashcards
adipose tissue, gonads, hypothalamus and pancreas all produce some
endocrine activity
major endocrine organs
pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal, pineal, thymus
two types of hormones
steroid, amine/polypeptide
hormones act as chemical blank
messengers
hormone secretion usually adjusts rapidly to meet the demands of changing bodily blank
conditions
there are a variety of hormones but only some respond to blank
exercise
three hormone producers responding to exercise
pituitary, adrenal, pancreas
cortisol, epinephrine, and norepinephrine are hormones from blank
adrenal gland
gland producing growth hormone, acth, fsh, lh, testosterone
anterior pituitary
gland that makes insulin and glucagon
pancreas
hormone that promotes cell division and cellular proliferation throughout the body
growth hormone
growth hormone also slows blank breakdown and initiates subsequent mobilization and use of blank as an energy source
carb, fat
blank extends growth hormones action on target tissues
exercise
this hormone increases contraction of smooth muscle and reabsorption of water in kidneys
adh
adrenal blank makes glucocorticoids like cortisol and cortisone
cortex
adrenal blank makes epinephrine and norepinephrine
medulla
epinephrine increases blank breakdown
blood sugar/glycogen
norepinephrine causes blank of blood vessels
constriction
norepinephrine increases when blank percent of vo2 max is reached
50
epinephrine does not increase at all until blank vo2 max
60
hormone that stores glycogen and promotes glucose entry in cells, also involved with protein synthesis
insulin
hormone that increases blood glucose levels
glucagon
hormones amount and effects do not change a whole lot with blank
exercise
two primary hormones that respond to exercise
growth hormone/testosterone
