Q

Type II Fibers Characteristics

A
  • decreased oxygen delivery

47
Q

This hormone is secreted by the pancreas to regulate blood glucose levels. It triggers the release of glycogen stores from the liver back into the blood to raise glucose levels.

A

Glucagon

48
Q

This helps to regulate energy and glucose metabolism in the body, by lowering glucose levels. It causes cells in the liver, muscle and fat tissue to take in glucose from the blood to store it as glycogen in the liver and muscle

A

Insulin

49
Q

During exercise, glucose uptake by the cells increases, so the sensitivity to insulin increase/decreases?

A

Increases

50
Q

Physiological effects of catecholamines:

increase heart rate and stroke volume
elevates blood glucose levels
redistributes blood to working tissues
opens up the airways

51
Q

cell body, axon and dendrites comprise

A

neurons

52
Q

cell body consists of

A

nucleus, gto complex and mitochondria

53
Q

this provides communication from brain and spinal cord; it’s a cylindrical projection from the cell body that transmits impulses to other neurons

A

axon

54
Q

these gather info from other structures and transmit it back to the neuron

A

dendrite

55
Q

When ACh is released, it binds to receptors. Action potential reaches the Ttubule. Sarcoplasmic reticulum releases CA2+. Active site exposure cross-bridge binding and what begins?

A

contraction

56
Q

Ach is removed; sarcoplasmic reticulum recaptures ( Ca2+, active sites covered, no cross-bridge interaction so what just ended?

A

contraction ended - then relaxation occurs and passive return to resting length

57
Q

joint motion is also known as

A

arthrokinematics

58
Q

what are 3 major motion types for bones?

  • turned into glucose and enters cells
  • stored as glycogen in liver and muscle cells
  • limited ability to store
A

carbohydrates

85

used for prolonged periods such as a marathon and rest

A

fat

86

does not provide energy during exercise

protein

87
Q

2 anaerobic systems are

88
Q

HIIT
10-15 secs
all out sprint
1st system used at the onset of activity

A

ATP-PC

89
Q

provides energy longer than atp-pc but not that long; 30-50 seconds, used in workouts with 8-12 reps

A

GLYCOLYSIS - primarily breaks down carbs to produce atp

90
Q

what system - aerobic glycolysis, krebs cycle and electron transp. chain (ETC); used after transitioning to sustained exercise; energy used at rest

A

oxidative system - can produce energy for indefinite time

main source of fuel is fat

91
Q

EPOC - Excessive Post-Exercise Oxygen Consumption

A
  • state of increased metabolism after performing exercise
  • anaerobic exercise creates an oxygen debt that is repaid by increasing oxygen use after exercise
  • more cals are used many hours after we workout

sleep burns close to 100% from

A

fat

93
Q

force is produced, muscle tension is developed and movement occurs through a given range

A

isotonic - means constant tension

94
Q

no visible movement; dynamically stabilizes force
