what is homeostasis
the maintenance of a constant and “normal” internal environment
what is a steady state
consistancy
balance between demands placed on body and the bodys response to those demands
what are examples of steady state
98.6 f
120/90
what on a graph represents a steady state
plateau
how fast can you reach a steady state for heart and breathing rate
about 2 to 3 min
what are some examples the intracellular controls systems
protein breakdown and synthesis, energy production, maintenance of stored nutrients
what organ systems show control systems of the body
pulmonary and circulatory
what system has the largest gain
aerobic
what is a biological control system
series of interconnected components that maintain a physical or chemical parameter at a near constant value
what are the components of a biological control system
sensor or receptor, control center, and effector
what does the sensor or receptor do in the biological control system
detects changes in variable
what does the control center do in the biological control system
assesses input and initiates response
what does the effector do in the biological control system
changes internal environment back to normal
what is negative feedback
response reverses the initial disturbance in homeostasis
what feedback loop do most control systems use
negative
what is positive feedback
response increases the original stimulus
how to increase gain of system
training
what is gain of a control system
degree to which a control system maintains homeostasis
system with large gain is more capable of…
maintaining homeostasis than systems with low gain
what systems have large gains
pulmonary and cardiovascular
what are some examples of homeostatic control
regulation of body temp and regulation of blood glucose
what happens in a failure of any component of a control system
results in a disturbance of homeostasis.
how does exercise disrupt homeostasis
changes in pH, O2, CO2, and temperature
what type of environment are control systems are capable of maintaining steady state during submaximal exercise
cool environment
what is adaptation
change in structure or friction of cell or organ system, results in improved ability to maintain homeostasis
what is acclimatization
adaptation to environmental stress
what is cell signaling
communication between cells using chemical messengers
what are the different types of cell signaling mechanisms
intracrine, juxtacrine, autocrine, paracrine and endocrine
what is intracrine signaling
chemical messenger inside cell triggers response
what is juxtacrine signaling
chemical messenger passed between two connected cells
what is autocrine signaling
chemical messenger acts on that same cell
what is paracrine signaling
chemical messengers act on nearby cells
what is endocrine signaling
chemical messengers released into blood
what do cells synthesize when homeostasis is disrupted
stress proteins
what are some the stresses that disrupt cells
high temp, low ATP, abnormal pH, alterations in cell calcium, protein damage by free radicals
what specific thing induces stress proteins
exercise
what type of proteins repair damaged proteins in a cell
heat shock proteins
what improves ability of cells to maintain homeostasis
exercise induced protein synthesis
what exercise promotes different cell signaling pathways
resistance and endurance, muscle protein synthesis and mitochondrial biogenesis
what is metabolism
sum of all chemical reactions that occur in the body
what type of reactions are in metabolism
anabolic and catabolic
what is bioenergetics
converting foodstuffs into energy
what is the function of the cell membrane
semipermeable membrane that separates the cell from the extracellular environment
what is the function of the nucleus
contains genes that regulate protein synthesis
what is the function of the cytoplasm
fluid port of cell that contains organelles
what type of cycles are in the mitochondria
aerobic, krebs and ETC, and beta oxidation
what is the cytoplasm in the muscle
sarcoplasma
what are the three major cell structures
cell membrane, nucleus, and cytoplasm
what regulates protein synthesis within the cell
genes
what is molecular biology
study of molecular structures and events underlying biological processes.
exercise trainings results in modifications of
protein synthesis
what provides tools for understanding the cellular response to exercise
molecular biology
what is endergonic reaction
require energy to be added, endothermic
what is an exergonic reaction
release energy, exothermic
what are coupled reatction
liberation of energy in an exergonic reaction drives an endergonic reaction
