EXERCISE VS DIET, THE PHYSIOLOGY Flashcards
CVD SYSTEM DURING EXERCISE?
- BLOOD VESSELS TO SKELETAL MUSCLES ARE DILATED TO DELIVER MORE BLOOD
- LOCAL BLOOD FLOW IS INCREASED
- TO MAINTAIN BP, THE BLOOD VESSELS TO OTHER ORGANS SUCH AS KIDNEYS AND THE GI TRACT ARE CONSTRICTED SO THE BLOOD IS SHUNTED AWAY FROM THESE ORGANS AND MADE AVAILABLE FOR THE EXERCISING MUSCLES
- HEAT GENERATED BY INCREASED MUSCLE METABOLISM ALSO DILATES BLOOD VESSELS IN THE WORKING MUSCLES
- HEART RATE IS INCREASED
WHAT DOES THE TERM ‘INTEGUMENTARY REFER TO’?
EXTERNAL LAYER/ BODY SURFACE
EXPLAIN WHY PHYSIOLOGY IS A HOLISTIC DISCIPLINE?
BECAUSE IT STUDIES THE WAYS IN WHICH THE WHOLE BODY FUNCTIONS IN HEALTH, DOES NOT SIMPLY STUDY EACH SYSTEM OF THE BODY. INDIVIDUALS COMPONENTS ARE INTIMATELY INTERCONNECTED AND FULLY UNDERSTANDABLE ONLY BY REFERENCE TO THE BODY AS A WHOLE
WHAT IS THE AIM OF AEROBIC VS ANAEROBIC EXERCISES?
AEROBIC: INCREASE OF CARDIOVASCULAR AND SKELETAL MUSCLE ACTIVITY
ANAEROBIC: INCREASE SKELETAL MUSCLE STRENGTH AND MASS
EXAMPLES OF ANAEROBIC EXERCISES?
WEIGHT LIFTING
FAST AND SHORT RUN (SPRINT)
EXAMPLES OF AEROBIC EXERCISES?
WALKING, RUNNING, CYCLING, SWIMMING…
ARE THE CITRIC ACID CYCLE AND THE OXIDATIVE PHOSPHORYLATION AEROBIC OR ANAEROBIC?
AEROBIC
DO FATTY ACIDS OR GLUCOSE PRODUCE ATP FASTER?
GLUCOSE
WHY DOES GLUCOSE PRODUCE ATP FASTER THAN FATTY ACIDS?
BECAUSE THE GLYCOLYSIS OCCURS IN CYTOPLASM AND FATTY ACIDS NEEDS TO BE CONVERTED TO ACYL CoA TO ENTER THE MITOCHONDRIA WHERE THE BETA OXIDATION WILL TAKE PLACE
HOW MANY ATP MOLECULES WILL FATTY ACIDS PRODUCE?
CCA 460 (DEPENDING ON THE LENGTH OF THE CARBON CHAIN AND THE EFFICIENCY OF THE CITRIC ACID CYCLE)
HOW MANY ATP MOLECULES CAN GLUCOSE PRODUCE IN THE CYTOPLASM?
2
HOW MANY ATP MOLECULES IN TOTAL WILL GLUCOSE BREAKDOWN CREATE?
AROUND 38
2 FROM GLYCOLYSIS, 2 FROM CITRIC ACID CYCLE AND 34 FROM ELECTRON TRANSPORT CHAIN
HOW MANY ATP MOLECULES COME FROM CITRIC ACID CYCLE FOLLOWING GLYCOLYSIS?
2
WHERE ARE ATP MOLECULES SPENT DURING GLYCOLYSIS AND WHERE ARE THEY PRODUCED?
SPENT:
1) GLUCOSE TO G-6-P (HEXOKINASE, 1 ATP MOLECULE USED)
2) G-6-P TO FRUCTOSE 1,6 BIPHOSPHATE ( gp6 to fp6 by isomerase first, then f6p to f16bp by PFK 1, 1 ATP MOLECULE USED)
PRODUCED:
IN STEPS FROM F-1,6-bP TO PYRUVATE, 4 ATP MOLECULES PRODUCED
WHEN AND HOW DOES NADH PRODUCTION OCCUR DURING GLYCOLYSIS AND HOW MANY NADH MOLECULES ARE PRODUCED?
PRODUCTION OF 2 NADH FROM NAD+ DURING THE CONVERSION OF FRUCTOSE 1,6 BIPHOSPHATE TO PYRUVATE (VIA INTERMEDIATE STEPS)
IS THERE CO2 PRODUCTION DURING GLYCOLYSIS?
NO
IS THERE CO2 PRODUCTION DURING CITRIC ACID CYCLE?
YES
ARE THERE ATP STORES IN MUSCLE? IF SO, HOW BIG ARE THEY?
ATP IS STORED IN SMALL AMOUNTS; TO LAST 4 TO 6 SECONDS OF EXERCISE
MUSCLE ATP STORAGE LASTS HOW LONG DURING EXERCISE?
4-6 SECS
WHAT IS THE ONLY ENERGY SOURCE USED DIRECTLY FOR CONTRACTILE ACTIVITIES?
ATP
3 WAYS IN WHICH MUSCLE CELLS CAN PRODUCE ATP?
1) DIRECT PHOSPHORYLATION
2) ANAEROBIC PATHWAY
3) AEROBIC PATHWAY
DESCRIBE HOW MUSCLES CREATE ATP THROUGH DIRECT PHOSPHORYLATION?
- CELLS WILL USE CREATINE PHOSPHATE (PHOSPHOCREATINE) TO QUICKLY REPLENISH THE ATP STORES (ESP DURING ANAEROBIC EXERCISE)
- CREATINE PHOSPHATE IS ALSO A HIGH ENERGY MOLECULE BECAUSE OF THE PHOSPHATE BOND
- IT WILL CONVERT ADP TO ATP
- CREATINE IS FORMED DURING THIS PROCESS AND IT CAN ACCUMULATE IN THE MUSCLE
