|
|
Term
|
Definition
| the progressive reduction in voluntary drive to motor neurons during exercise |
|
|
Term
|

|
|
Term
| electron transport chain ETC |
|
Definition
| a series of chemical reactions in the mitochondria during which electrons from the hydrogen atoms in the nicotinamine adenine dinucleotide NADH and flavin adenine dinucleotide FADH are transferred to oxygen. The electrochemical energy in this process is used in production of adenosine triphosphate ATP from adenosine diphosphate ADP and inorganic phosphate Pi |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| the net effect of chemical reaction in the body resulting in ATP production |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| a series of chemical reactions for the conversions of glucose to pyruvate in the anarobic production of ATP |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| an increase in core temperature collectively brought about by the environment, metabolism, and clothing. |

Definition
| the cute response of the blood flow and the blood composition to changes in the activity state of the body |
|
|
Term
| Hypoxic Ventilatory Response |
|
Definition
| the increase in ventilation seen with acute altitude exposure as a result of the reduce barometric pressure in lowered arterial oxygen pressure |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| a series of chemical reactions in the mitochondria in which aetyl-coenzyme a (COA) is oxidized, resulting in the production of 3NADH, 1FADH, 1GTP and 2 CO2. |

|
Term
| Maximal Oxygen Consumption VO2 max |
|
Definition
| the maximum rate of oxygen that can be used for production of ATP during exercise |

|
Term
|
Definition
| a pollutant formed from the interaction of the primary pollutant with an environmental factor |
|
|
Term
