Q

Explain the Cyclic AMP (cAMP) “Second Messenger” System

83
Q

Does GLUT-1 have a high uptake rate?

A

No

84
Q

Explain the stimulation of muscle glucose uptake during exercise

A
  1. As contraction occurs, calcium is increased in the muscle

2. Increase in calcium moves GLUT-4 pool to the plasma membrane to transport glucose into the muscle

85
Q

Does insulin have the same role as Ca2+ regarding muscle glucose uptake during exercise?

A

Yes, they both move GLUT-4 pool to the plasma membrane of the skeletal muscle

86
Q

What determines insulin “seen” by muscles?

A
  • blood concentration

- muscle blood flow

87
Q

As exercise increases, does insulin concentration increase or decrease?

A

Insulin concentration decreases, however, there is a significant increase in blood because of increase in blood flow during exercise

88
Q

How do we maintain blood [glucose] during exercise?

A
  1. Minimize glucose use by less active tissues
    - decrease [insulin], decrease blood flow
  2. Mobilize alternative fuels to glucose
    - increase [norepi] (increase FFA from adipose)
  3. Stimulate muscle glycogen use
    - increase [epi] (increase phos activity, glycogen phosphorylase)
  4. Release glucose from liver sources
    - increase [glucagon] (glycogenolysis/ gluconeogenesis)

96
Q

Why does [La] decrease at a given workload

A
  • increase in mitochondria
  • increase in [La] clearance
  • increase in pyruvate oxidation
  • decrease pyruvate production

141
Q

Assumptions when using HR to predict VO2max

A
  1. Linear relation between HR and workload

2. HRmax= 220-age

142
Q

Karvonen formula

A
HRR = HRmax - Resting HR
THR = Resting HR + (% HRR)
143
Q

Heart rate reserve

A
  • range of HR that you can change

- how much you can go up in HR during exercise

144
Q

%HRmax_________ workload (underestimates or overestimates)

A

underestimates

- HRmax is accurate at 90% or greater %VO2 max

145
Q

2 regulatory influences of cardiac output

A
  1. chronotropic

2. inotropic

146
Q

Chronotropic

A
  • changing rate of contraction (HR)

- neural and hormonal

147
Q

Inotropic

A
  • changing strength of contraction (SV)

- neural, hormonal and mechanical

148
Q

What nervous system?

lowers HR via vagus nerve

A

parasympathetic NS

149
Q

What nervous system?

increases HR via chain ganglions

A

sympathetic NS

150
Q

What hormones does the PNS release to decrease HR via the vagus nerve?

A

acetylcholine

151
Q

What hormone does the SNS release to increase HR AND increase force of contraction via the cardiac accelerator nerve?

A

norepinephrine

152
Q

Which part of the vasculature establishes ‘bulk flow’ and driving pressure?

A

arteries

153
Q

Which part of the vasculature regulates flow to specific regions?

A

arterioles

154
Q

Which part of the vasculature regulates surface area for exchange?

A

capillaries

155
Q

Which part of the vasculature regulates flow return (muscle pump)?

A

veins/venules

156
Q

What which vasculature is blood flow velocity at the lowest?

A

capillaries

157
Q

As SA increases, blood flow velocity________

A

decreases

158
Q

“dynamics of blood circulation”

A

hemodynamics

- flow, pressure, resistance

159
Q

True or false:

Flow is proportional to pressure between end of a tube

A

true

160
Q

True or false:

Flow is proportional to the resistance of tube

A

FALSE

  • flow is inversely proportional
  • as resistance increases, flow decreases
161
Q

Formula to calculate flow

A

Flow = pressure/resistance

162
Q

How to calculate resistance

A

Resistance = viscosity x length/radius^4

163
Q

If vessel radius doubles, them flow increases by_______

A

a 16 fold

164
Q

A

5x

165
Q

How much does cardiac output increase in skeletal muscle from rest to exercise?

A

20x

166
Q

What % of Q is going to skeletal muscle during rest & exercise?

A
Rest= 20%
Exercise= 80%
167
Q

What % of Q is going to the splanchnic + renal area during rest & exercise?

A
Rest= 40%
Exercise= 5%
168
Q

What % of Q is going to the heart during rest & exercise?

A
Rest= 4%
Exercise= 4%
169
Q

Metarterioles

A

main pathway into the capillary beds from the arterioles

170
Q

Precapillary sphincter
