Test 2 Flashcards
What is homeostasis
maintenance of a constant internal environment
What is Steady State
Non-Homeostatic constant conditions
balance between the demands placed on a body and the physiological response to those demands
What happens to Body Core temperature before, and during exercise
Before exercise it stays relatively constant (Homeostasis), as you exercise it increases gradually until it eventually levels out and stays constant above homeostasis (Steady State)
What are the things controlled by the body
- Temperature
- blood pressure
- Oxygen content
- blood glucose
- protein synthesis rates
- cellular glucose uptake
- blood and cellular ph
What is the goal of the control systems of the body
to return to homeostasis or maintain at steady state levels
example of a negative feedback system
Stimulus = blood glucose increased with food Receptor = pancrease detects increased blood glucose Response = pancreas releases insulin which pulls blood glucose into the cells Homeostasis = Blood glucose returns to normal levels, no more insulin is secreted
What is a negative feedback system
when a stimulus causes a reaction in the body and that reaction decreases the initial stimulus
What happens to plasma glucose after eating
it increases initially but then returns to homeostasis levels
What happens to plasma insulin after eating
it increases in response to elevated blood glucose, then as it decreases plasma glucose it’s levels are also decreased
What are the 3 principles of Enzyme function
- It lowers the activation energy and increases reaction rate
- It is very specific, and conserves itself
- Enzymatic activity
What does temperature do to Enzyme function
a little higher than normal body temperature increases enzyme activity
What does ph do to enzyme function
between about 7.5 and 8 is where ph makes enzyme activity the best
What affects enzyme activity more than anything
concentration of substrates and the enzyme
What does the graph of concentration (y axis) vs. activity (x axis) look like
it is a constantly increasing 45 degree angle upward
What are the three types of storage forms for energy
Carbs
Fats
Proteins
What is the primary source of fuel during exercise
Carbs
What is the storage form of carbs in the body
Glycogen
How can the diet affect the concentration of glycogen
the more carbs you eat the more glycogen you store
What does increased muscle glycogen mean for performance.
the more glycogen you have the longer you will be able to perform because you have more to use up while performing
What does the time to exhaustion (y axis) vs. initial muscle glycogen (x axis) graph look like
It is an increasing slope with three points. The first is lowest for both axis, and that’s due to a low carb diet.
The second is in the middle for both, and thats due to a normal diet. and the third is the highest in both, and that is due to a high carb diet
What is the RDA for protein
.8 g/kg/day
If you are working at 35-50% of your VO2 max what amount of protein do you need
.8 g/day
How much protein do you need for high intensity endurace
1.2 g/day
How much protein do you need for resistance training
.9 g/day
How much protein do you need for maintenance
1.4-1.8 g/day
How is the average persons protein intake compaired to the protein RDA
it exceeds it
Is there a need for increased protein consumption in the majority of normal healthy individuals
nope
What are the three major energy systems involved in a workout
Immediate (Creatine phosphate)
Non oxidative, anaerobic (glycolysis)
oxidative, aeorobic (ETC)
Which of the three energy systems is the quickest, but shortest lasting to produce ATP
Creatine phosphate
which of the three energy systems is the second quickest, and moderatly durable way to produce ATP
Glycolysis
which of the three energy systems is the slowest, but longest lasting way to produce ATP
ETC
What is the Enzyme equation that you will need to know
E + S –> ES –> E + P
What kind of exercise would use primarily the Creatine phosphate energy source
sprint (up to a couple of seconds)
what kind of exercise would use primarily the glycolysis source of energy
400M ( from 30 s to a few minutes)
what kind of exercise would use primarily the ETC
Marathon, long endurance activities
What is the ATP equation
ATP —> ADP + Pi + Energy
What are the functions of ATP
Motion, active transport, signal amplification, biosynthesis
What are the resting levels of ATP like in the body
small
What is the Creatine Phosphate system
the fastest ATP producing system in the body
what is the equation for the Creatine phosphate system
CP + ADP ATP + C
What is the enzyme that catalyzes the Creatine phosphate system
Creatine Kinase (CK)
What are the CP levels in the body like to begin with
They are 5-6 times that of ATP
When does the body rely on the Creatine phosphate energy source
the onset of exercise, and for short duration high intensity exercise
How does the Creatine phosphate reaction work
as ATP is used up and turned into ADP, the reaction is pushed to use up the CP and ADP to make more ATP. It does this fast enough to buffer the loss of ATP due to exercise until the CP is used up and can’t produce any more
What happens to CP and Pi before and after exercise
CP - starts out high before exercise and almost dissapears during
Pi - starts out very low before exercise and dramatically increases during exercise
How many enzymes participate in glycolysis
11-12
What is the rate limiting enzyme for glycolysis
Phosphofructokinase - PFK-
Where does glycolysis predominate
type II muscle
What are the substrates for glycolysis
Glucose (glycogen)
What are the products of Glycolysis
2 pyruvate molecules
ATP ( 4 total but 2 are used)
Where does Glycolysis happen
in the cytosol
What are the two things that can happen with pyruvate after glycolysis
It can be taken up into the mitochodria
it can be converted into lactate
What happens to the lactate
it can later be moved into the mitochondria (by the lactate shuttle system) and converted back into pyruvate there
What are the locations of lactate dehydrogenase
cytoplasmic dehydrogenase - converts p into lactate
mitochondrial dehydrogenase - converts lactate into p
What is the function of NAD: in the mitochondrial shuttle system
electron carrier
what does the mitochondrial system do
provide a substrate for the ETC
exchanges with mitochondrial NAD
What controls glycolysis
the energy signal
What are the feedforward signals for glycolysis
Glucose uptake, G-6-P, Glycogen breakdown
how does exercise affect PFK
it increases its activity
how does exercise increase PFK
it decreases its inhibitors (ATP, CP, citrate, H+)
it increases is stimulators (ADP, Pi)
How does exercise affect the feedforward signals for glycolysis
It increases the uptake of Glucose into muscles (GLUT 4)
more glucose leads to more G-6-P, and so does the breakdown of glycogen
What happens to Muscle ATP levels as you exercise
they decrease slightly, but not that much.
Why doesn’t muscle ATP decrease during exercise
because it is buffered by Creatine phosphate
what happens to creatine phosphate levels as you exercise
they go down as they buffer the ATP levels
What Happens to blood lactate during exercise
it gradually increases
what happens to pH during exercise
it gradually decreases, this is because of the increasing lactate

Where is glycogen stored
the liver and muscle
What is the enzyme that converts glycogen into G6P
Phosphorylase
What is glycogen
a complex, branched polymer of glucose
How is carbohydrate utilization related to exercise intensity
Directly, the more intense the exercise, the more carbs you use
What does the carbohydrate usage look like over an exercise
it peaks initially, then turns to a gradual increase over time. the more intense the exercise the more drastic the initial climb
What does training do for glycogen storage
it enhances glycogen storage (trained people can store more glucose)
