Hormones Flashcards
Endocrine System Exercise Functions
- regulate growth/metabolic processes/water balance
- transporting substances through membranes
Hormone-Receptor Interactions
- Altering Membrane Transport
- Stimulating DNA to increase Protein Synthesis
- Activating Second Messengers
Epinephrine Location
Adrenal Medulla
Epinephrine
“Adrenaline”, Released during exercise, increases HR and BP, Glyogenolysis, Lipolysis, Gluconeogenesis, Dilates bronchioles/blood vessels
GH location
Anterior Pituitary Gland
Growth Hormone
stimulates protein synthesis and long bone growth, increased during exercise, helps maintain blood glucose
GH at rest
stimulates uptake of AA and protein synthesis
Cortisol Location
Adrenal Cortex
Cortisol
prevents plasma glucose from dropping, blocks glucose from entering wrong tissues, promotes protein breakdown for gluconeogenesis
Glucagon location
Pancreas
Glucagon
helps maintain glucose levels during exercise, promotes mobilization of fatty acids and glucose
Insulin
promotes glucose absorption in cells
Insulin inhibition
inhibited by sympathetic system during exercise
ADH location
posterior pituitary
Aldosterone location
adrenal glands
