Package 3 Flashcards
What’s the definition of oxidation
The removal of an electron
What’s the definition of reduction in regards to metabolism
The addition of an electron
In cellular respiration how many ATP molecules are formed because of a breakdown of one glucose
30 or 32 ATP
Where does glycolysis happen and how many reactions are required?
Glycolysis happens in the side is all of the cell and requires 10 reactions
Where does the Krebs cycle take place in a cell and how many reactions are required?
The Krebs cycle takes place in the mitochondria of the cell, mitochondrial matrix, and it requires eight reactions
What is glycogenesis and how is it stimulated?
Glycogenesis is the formation of glycogen from glucose and it is stimulated by insulin
What is glycogenolysis and what stimulates it?
Glycogenolysis is the breakdown of glycogen in cells to release glucose when the cells need ATP. It is stimulated by epinephrin and glucagon
What is gluconeogenesis and how is it stimulated?
Gluconeogenesis is when glucose is made for proteins, amino acids, triglycerides, and lactic acid. It is stimulated by cortisol, glucagon, and thyroid hormones
Why do lipids need to be transported in blood plasma?
They require transportation because they are very hydrophobic. They require protein to be transported, to become Lipo proteins
What type of lipoprotein transports dietary lipids to adipose tissue?
Chylomicrons
What type of lipoprotein transports triglycerides from hepatocytes to adipocytes? Meaning transferring triglycerides from the liver to the adipose
Very-low-Density lipoprotein: VLDL
What lipoprotein is responsible for carrying about 75% of the total cholesterol in the blood and delivering it to the cells?
Low density lipoprotein a.k.a. LDL’s. These are bad
What Lipo proteins are responsible for removing excess cholesterol from the body cells in the blood and transporting it to the liver for elimination?
High density lipoprotein’s a.k.a. HDL’s. These are good Lipo proteins
Name the four types of Lipo proteins and the types of lipids that they transport
Chylomicrons: dietary lipids
Very low density lipoproteins: Triglycerides
Low density lipoprotein’s: cholesterol
High density lipoprotein’s: cholesterol
How can a lipid produce ATP?
It requires oxidization
Where are lipids stored if they are not required for use?
Adipose tissue
What hormones stimulate lipolysis?
Cortisol, epinephrine, and Norepinephrin
Defined the process of lipid catabolism
The process of splitting triglycerides into fatty acids and glycerol
Define the process of lipid animalism and what hormone stimulates this process
Lipid anabolism a.k.a. lipogenesis, Is the process of synthesizing lipids from glucose or amino acids. This is stimulated by insulin
What is Beta oxidation
Breakdown of fatty acids
What can happen if you have too many ketone bodies in the blood?
Too many ketone bodies, from the breakdown of fatty acids, can lead to acidosis.
What area in the body is considered the body’s thermostat?
The preoptic area of the hypothalamus
What areas of the hypothalamus are responsible for controlling hunger?
The arcuate nucleus and the paraventricular nucleus
What are the organs that make up the urinary system?
Kidneys, urinary bladder, urethra, and ureters
What are the functions of the kidney?
Excretion of metabolic waste, glucose regulation, maintenance of blood osmolarity, production of Calcitrol and Erythropoietin, regulation of blood ions, regulation of PH, regulation of plasma volume, regulation of blood pressure.
What type of tissue is the external kidney made up of?
Connective tissue
From superficial to deep, name the layers of the external kidney
Renal fascia, adipose capsule, and renal capsule.
What structures connect with the renal hilum?
Renal artery, renal vein, ureter, lymphatic vessels, renal nerves.
What is bigger in the kidney, the cortex or the medulla?
The cortex
Name the three steps of urine formation
Glomerular filtration, tubular reabsorption, tubular secretion.
