Cards

Term
What is the definition of exercise physiology?
Definition
The sub discipline of kinesiology that addresses the short term biological responses to the stress of physical activity and how the body adapts to repeated bouts of physical activity over time.
Term
What are key differences between homeostasis and steady state?
Definition
Features of a steady state: Conditions are stable within the system Free energy is continuously put into the system Over time, the system is maintained in a higher state of order than its surroundings

Features of an equilibrium: Conditions are stable within the system Net free energy neither enters nor escapes the system Over time, any difference in entropy (state of disorder) between the system and the external environment tends to disappear
Term
What is homeostasis?
Definition
the maintenance of a relatively constant internal environment
Term
What is steady state?
Definition
used to denote a steady and unchanging level of some physiological variable. (heart rate)
Term
What are the basic components of a cell?
Definition
nucleus, mitochondria, plasma membrane, organelles, cytoplasm
Term
What are plasma membrane, organelles, cytoplasm, mitochondria, and nucleus and what they do.
Definition
cell membrane: barrier that separates cell from external environment.
Nucleus: contains cellular genetic components (genes)
Cytoplasm: fluid of cell between nucleus and cell membrane
Mitochondria: powerhouse of the cell, involved in oxidative conversion of food stuffs into usable energy. (ATP)
Term
what are the cell signaling mechanisms?
Definition
intracrine: chemical messenger produced inside a cell that triggers a signaling pathway within the same cell that leads to a specific cellular response.

juxtacrine: intercellular communication that is transmitted via oligosaccharide, lipid, or protein components of a cell membrane, and may affect either the emitting cell or the immediately adjacent cells.

autocrine:cell structure which produces and releases a chemical messenger into the extracellular fluid that acts upon the cell producing the signal.

paracrine: signals that act locally on nearby cells to bring coordinated response.

endocrine:system which releases types of hormones directly into the bloodstream (some of which are transported along nerve tracts to maintain homeostasis
Term
what is an endergonic reaction?
Definition
a chemical reaction in which the standard change in free energy is positive, and energy is absorbed.

The total amount of energy is a loss thus the net result is negative.
Term
what is an exergonic reaction?
Definition
An exergonic process is one in which there is a positive flow of energy from the system to the surroundings.

the total amount of energy is a gain thus the net result is positive.
Term
What are coupled reactions?
Definition
linked, with the liberation of free energy in one reaction being "used" to drive a second reaction.
Term
What are enzymes? What do enzymes do?
Definition
proteins that work as catalysts, by lowering activation energy.
Term
name the 3 main nutrients in the body.
Definition
carbohydrates, fats, and proteins.
Term
which of the nutrients are metabolized to provide energy for exercise?
Definition
Carbs and fats are metabolized to provide energy for exercise.
Term
what is the role of ATP in the body?
Definition
immediate source of energy for muscular contraction
Term
What is the ATP-PC system?
Definition
It is immediate and functions without oxygen. It allows for up to approximately 12 seconds (+ or -) of maximum effort.
Term
What is glycolysis, what is its purpose?
Definition
the metabolic pathway that converts glucose into pyruvate.
Term
where does glycolysis occur?
Definition
the cytoplasm
Term
What are the ultimate products of glycolysis? (I.E. number of pyruvate, NADH, net ATP)
Definition
2 pyruvate
2 NADH
and a net of 2 ATP
Term
what are the two systems of anaerobic energy production?
Definition
ATP-PC system and glycolysis
Term
know factors regulating rate-limiting enzymes.
Definition
Temperature and pH levels of a solution are factors which regulate rate-limiting enzymes.
Term
What is the significance of aerobic metabolism?
Definition
the production of ATP using O2 as the final electron acceptor allows for a far greater rate of ATP production
Term
Where in the cell does aerobic metabolism occur?
Definition
inside the mitochondria
Term
Understand the purpose of NAD/NADH+H+ and FAD/FADH2.
Definition
NAD+ and FAD transport hydrogens and their associated electrons to be used for later generation of ATP. FADH2 is FADH that has accepted a second hydrogen.
Term
What reaction is catalyzed by phosphorylase?
Definition
Glycogen metabolism
Term
What is the r for Fat?
Definition
.70
Term
What is the r for Carbohydrate?
Definition
1.0
Term
What is LT?
Definition
LT is the point of a systematic rise in blood lactate during incremental exercise. Untrained is 50-60% VO2max trained is 65-80% VO2max.
Term
What system is primarily used to produce ATP during high-intensity short term exercise?
Definition
ATP-PC system
Term
What system is primarily used to produce ATP during Intense exercise lasting more than 20 seconds?
Definition
glycolysis
Term
What system is primarily used to produce ATP during high intensity events?
Definition
combo of ATP-PC, glycolysis, and the aerobic system with a 50/50 (anaerobic/aerobic) contribution needed for exercise lasting between 2 & 3 minutes.
Term
What is VO2max?
Definition
the maximal oxygen consumption rate
Term
Which nutrients are utilized at what levels of exercise?
Definition
low intensity exercise uses fat as energy. high-intensity uses carbohydrates.
Term
What are the basic components of a control system?
Definition
control center, sensor, stimulus, effect.
Term
how do most control systems work?
Definition
via negative feedback
Term
what are the reactants and products of teh creatine kinase reaction?
Definition
reactants are PC and ADP, the products are ATP and C
Term
Where does the creatine kinase reaction occur?
Definition
cytosol
Term
What are the Reactants and products of the LDH reaction?
Definition
Term
The simplest and most rapid method of production during exercise is through?
Definition
the atp-pc system
Term
The two most important hydrogen carriers in bioenergetic chemical reactions is?
Definition
NAD and FAD
Term
A rate limiting enzyme in the aerobic synthesis of ATP in the mitochondria is?
Definition
Isocitrate dehydrogenase
Term
what are the 3 stages of aerobic metabolism?
Definition
formation of AcetylCoA from pyruvate

krebs cycle

electron transport chain
Term
list the tally from the breakdown of a 16C fat which yields 106 ATP
Definition
16C gives 8 AcetylCoA, 7 NADH, 7 FADH2,
8 Acetyl coA will yield 24 NADH +8 FADH + 8GTP this will be a total of 31 NADH, 15 FADH, and 8 GTP.
Term
