Cards

Term
Physiology
Definition
- a branch of biological science concerned with the function of organisms and their parts
Term
Exercise Physiology
Definition
- a branch of physiology that deals with the functioning of the body in response to exercise (acute and chronic adaptations). These responses to exercise are dependent on the intensity, duration, frequency and type of exercise and the environmental circumstances, diet and physiological status of the individual
Term
received the Nobel Prize for work related to muscle or muscular exercise
A.V. Hill
Definition
Heat production during muscle contraction and recovery
Term
Otto Meyerhof
Definition
Relationship of O2 consumption and lactic acid in muscle
Term
August Krogh
Definition
Function of the capillary circulation
Term
Harvard Fatigue Laboratory
Definition
D.B. Dill
Directed the lab from 1927–1947
Conducted research in numerous areas
Exercise, clinical, and environmental physiology
- Basis of much of what we know today
Made careful and precise measurements
Using “new” instruments and techniques
Term
Active Research Areas in the Harvard Fatigue Laboratory
Metabolism
Definition
Maximal oxygen uptake
Oxygen debt
Carbohydrate and fat metabolism during long-term work
Term
Active Research Areas in the Harvard Fatigue Laboratory
Environmental physiology
Definition
Altitude
Dry and moist heat
Cold
Term
Active Research Areas in the Harvard Fatigue Laboratory
Clinical physiology
Definition
Gout
Schizophrenia
Diabetes
Term
Active Research Areas in the Harvard Fatigue Laboratory
Aging
Definition
Basal metabolic rate
Maximal oxygen uptake
Maximal heart
Term
Active Research Areas in the Harvard Fatigue Laboratory
Blood
Definition
Acid-base balance
O2 saturation: role of PO2, PCO2, and carbon monoxide
Nutrition
Nutritional assessment techniques
Vitamins
Foods
Term
Active Research Areas in the Harvard Fatigue Laboratory
Physical fitness
Definition
Harvard Step Test
Term
Independent variable
Definition
On x-axis (horizontal)
Manipulated by researcher
ex. percentage
Term
Dependent variable
Definition
On y-axis (vertical)
Changes as a function of independent variable
ex. heart rate, oxygen consumption,Blood pressure, hormone
Term
Homeostasis
Definition
Maintenance of a constant and “normal” internal environment
Term
Steady state
Definition
Physiological variable is unchanging, but not necessarily “normal”
Balance between demands placed on body and the body’s response to those demands
Ex exercise for 3 minute under normal environment the heart rate reaches it. the max heart rate is 200
Term
Control Systems of the Body

Intracellular control systems
Definition
Protein breakdown and synthesis
Energy production
Maintenance of stored nutrients
Term
Control Systems of the Body

Organ systems
Definition
Pulmonary and circulatory systems
Replenish oxygen and remove carbon dioxide
Term
Biological Control System
Definition
Series of interconnected components that maintain a physical or chemical parameter at a near normal (constant ) value
Term
Biological Control System
Components
Sensor or receptor
Definition
Detects changes in variable
detects the chemical changing, our vessels contain lots of receptor. also send message to the control center.
Term
Biological Control System
Components
Control center
Definition
Assesses input and initiates response
Term
Biological Control System
Components
Effector:
Definition
Changes internal environment back to normal
Term
Negative Feedback
Definition
Response reverses the initial disturbance in homeostasis
Term
Negative Feedback
Example
Definition
Increase in extracellular CO2 triggers a receptor
Sends information to respiratory control center
Respiratory muscles are activated to increase breathing
CO2 concentration returns to normal
Most control systems work via
Term
Example of Homeostatic Control: Regulation of Blood Pressure
Stimulus
Definition
Increased blood pressure
Term
Example of Homeostatic Control: Regulation of Blood Pressure
Receptors
Definition
Baroreceptors in carotid arteries and aorta
Term
Example of Homeostatic Control: Regulation of Blood Pressure
Integrating center
Definition
Medulla of the brain
Term
Example of Homeostatic Control: Regulation of Blood Pressure
Effector
Definition
Heart
Term
Example of Homeostatic Control: Regulation of Blood Pressure
Response
Definition
Decreased blood pumped from heart
Term
Negative Feedback
Definition
can be seen in the respiratory systems regulation of the co2 concentration in the extracellular fluids. It also serve to restore normal value of a variable to maintain homeostasis.
Term
Example of Homeostatic Control: Regulation of Blood Pressure
Definition
(1) heart action causes increasing blood pressure in blood vessels
(2) the baroreceptors in carotid artery relay information to brain that blood pressure has increased
(3) brain signals heart to contract more slowly and with less force.
(4) blood pressure decreases
Term
Example of Homeostatic Control: Regulation of Blood Glucose
Illustration of the regulation of blood glucose concentration

negative feedback
Definition
Eating, increase blood glucose, pancreas, insulin,cellular uptake of glucose, blood glucose. before meal we have high level of insulin not high level of glucose. after meal high level of glucose activation pancreas to release insulin which bind to insulin receptor than glucose take to the cell migrate to liver and muscle glycogen.
Term
figure 2.7 blood glucose concentration
Definition
the rise in blood glucose signals the pancrease to release insulin, which then lowers blood glucose by increase cellular uptake. failure of the blood glucose control result in (diabetes.)
Term
Failure of a Biological Control System Results in Disease
Definition
Failure of any component of a control system results in a disturbance of homeostasis
Example:
Type 1 diabetes
Damage to beta cells in pancreas
Insulin is no longer released into blood
Hyperglycemia results
This represents failure of “effector
Term
Example of Homeostatic Control: Cellular Stress Response
figure 2.8
Definition
the process starts with a stressor that promotes protein damage. stresses associated with exercise that are known to produce protein damage which include high temperature. reduced cellular oxygen, low PH, and the production of free radicals. damaged proteins become signals for the cell to produce stress protein. after synthesis these stress protein work to repair damaged protein and restore homeostasis.
Term
Positive Feedback
Definition
oxytocin release by the hypothalamus when the head of the baby moves into the birth canal, the increase pressure on the cervix stimulates sensory receptor. the excited sensor then send a neural message to the brain which reponds by trggering the release of the hormone oxytocin from the pituitr gland. the oxytocin then travels via the blood to the uterus and promotes increased contractions. the cervix becomes more stimulated and uterine contractions become stronger until birth occurs the oxytocin release stops and shuts off.
Term
Test of Homeostatic Control
Submaximal exercise in a cool environment
Definition
- The body’s control systems can maintain steady state
Term
Test of Homeostatic Control
Intense exercise or prolonged exercise in a hot/humid environment
Definition
May not be able to maintain steady state
Severe disturbances in homeostasis can occur
