Final Exam Flashcards
What are nutrients?
Ingested food
To provide energy (ATP)
To grow and develop
Like macronutrients and micronutrients
What is metabolism?
Broking down molecules to release ATP (produces energy)
What are macronutrients ? What is it’s function?
Carbohydrates, Lipids, Proteins
Produce energy
What are micronutrients? What is it’s function?
Vitamins D,A,K,Biotin,Folic acid
Minerals/Elements Na,CL,Ca,Po4, Fe,Mg,Mn
Not Used for Energy
What is Glycogen?
Is a polysaccharide stored in liver
Breakdown Lipolysis
Pyruvate gets converted in AcetylCoA and Excess glucose goes to glycogen
Triglycerides >glycerol >Pyruvate
Triglycerides > 3 fatty acids >beta oxidation > Excess AcetylCoA
Protein Synthesis
Protein are broken down into amino acids
Can be Deaminated(removed NH3 combine with CO2 forms Urea)
What happens when there is Excess of AcetylCoA
Keto genesis- acetylCoA in liver produce Ketone bodies
Name the male reproduction system parts and functions
Scrotum- outer covering of testes Testes- site of sperm production Epididymus- stores sperm cells Vas deferens- long tube brings sperm to body Urethra- carries both urine + semen Penis - delivers sperm to female
Where is testosterone produce?
What is Testosterone.
In the Testes by seminiferons tubules inside the interstitial cells produce Testosterone is the second male characteristics
Parts of the Testes
Túnica Vaginalis- outer 2 layers continuos with peritoneum
Túnica Albiginia- fibrous capsule producing lobes
Name the accessory organs to the male reproductive system
Seminal Vesicles- contains proteglandis
Prostate Gland- doughnuts shape, secretes citric acid and enzymes
Bulbourethral Gland- secretes semen
Name the 3 parts of the Urethra?
Prostate Urethra- surrounds by prostate gland
Membranous Urethra- determines fluid release
Spongy Urethra- runs thru penis
Describe Spermatogenesis
How does it start?
Starts in the testes with the production of sperm cells as spermatogonia than gets diploid divided by mitosis. 1 cell goes to Meiosis other keep producing sperm cells.
In meiosis spermatocytes at primary meiosis I produce a haploid secondary spermatocyte goes thru meiosis II to give Spermatid (stored in epididymis)goes thru a developmental process gets small and thinner. Grows a tail in spermatozoa a mature sperm cell. A mature sperm cell is a acrosome long flagella
What is Nitricoxide?
A vasodilator
ex: viagra
