TEXTBOOK TEST 2 Flashcards
lowest to highest exercise intensity
moderate
heavy
very heavy severe
percents of lactate used as a substrate
70% produced during exercise is oxidized
20% converted to glucose
10% converted to amino acids
major sources of energy during exercise
carbs and fats
low intensity uses what source for energy
fats
high intensity uses what source for energy
carbs
what is the CNS responsible for
memory and learning
what are the two main parts of the nervous system
central nervous system
peripheral nervous system
what does the CNS consist of
brain and spinal cord
what are the two subdivisions of the PNS
sensory
motor
what does the sensory division in PNS do
transmission of neuron impulses from organs to CNS
afferent fibers
what does the motor division in PNS do
efferent fibers
what does the motor division in PNS further divide into
somatic motor division
autonomic motor division
what does the somatic motor division do
innervates skeletal muscle
what does the autonomic division do
innervates involuntary effector organs
afferent
somatic sensory
visceral sensory
special sensory
efferent
somatic motor
automatic motor
somatic sensory
sensory input that is consciously perceived from receptors
visceral sensory
sensory input that is not consciously perceived from receptors
somatic motor
motor output that is consciously or voluntarily controlled
effector is skeletal muscle
automatic motor
motor output that is not consciously or involuntarily controlled
effectors are cardiac muscle, smooth muscle, glands
what does the automatic motor system further break into
sympathetic
parasympathetic
enteric
3 regions of a neuron
cell body
dendrites
axon
cell body
center of operation
contains nucleus
dendrites
thin, branched processes that extend from cell body
receptive area that can conduct electrical impulses toward body
axon
- called action potentials
away from cell body toward another neuron
each neuron only has one axon
what is the contact between an axon of one neuron and the dendrite of another neuron called
synapses
schwann cells
in large nerve fibers (skeletal muscle)
insulating layer of cells
saltatory conduction
skips from node to node to shorten total length
at rest, what charge are neurons inside the cell
negative
what two factors influence the magnitude of resting membrane potential
permeability of cell membrane
difference in ion concentration between intracellular and extracellular fluids
what is an action potential
when depolarization reaches a threshold, and more sodium gates open
what does depolarization cause
increase in membrane permeability to potassium
all or none law
if a nerve impulse is initiated, it will travel the entire length of an axon without decrease in voltage
temporal summation
summing of several EPSP from a single presynaptic neuron over a short time period
spatial summation
sum of EPSP from several different presynaptic inputs
EPSP can bring postsynaptic neuron to threshold in two ways
temporal summation
spatial summation
transmitter at the neural muscle junction is
acetylcholine
what does acetylcholine do
opens channels to permit sodium to enter nerve or muscle cell
what happens when enough sodium enters postsynaptic membrane
depolarization starts
hyperpolarization of membrane is called
inhibitory postsynaptic potential
what are receptors that provide CNS with info about body position called
proprioceptors
kinesthesia
conscious recognition of the position of body parts with respect to each other, also speed of movement
