Chapter 7 Flashcards
At 20-30% VO2 max, lactate production is equal to?
Lactate elimination.
At what point is there more pyruvate going to lactate than to the kreb cycle for an untrained individual?
At >55% VO2.
At what point is there more pyruvate going to lactate than to the kreb cycle for a trained individual?
At >75% VO2.
A trained individual has what effects on protein synthesis.
Increase in overall synthesis, so more of the 1) # of protein and then 2) the active component of the enzyme is much more active.
Trained vs untrained: Which one is using storage for energy?
Trained
Why is there a curve before the steady state? Why does it take a few minutes to reach it?
Physical time constraint for body to use the oxygen RIGHT AWAY. Takes time for glycolysis to go on and pyruvate, to go into mitochondria and for the KC to do its cycle and hydrogens to go into the ETC.
What does the plateau (steady state) represent?
Oxygen that we’re starting to consume has now met the metabolic processes that are reaching that oxygen demand.
Who will reach steady state sooner: untrained or trained?
Trained.
What will the slope look like for someone who is diseased?
Very low slope, very slow adaption.
The “impulse” on the graph represents what?
Deficit of oxygen consumption.
How do you know when your client has reached their VO2 max?
No significant increase from one steady state to the other.
What is Ve?
Minute ventilation (?air/min)
What is Va?
Alevolar ventilation: How much air gets to the alveoli.
What happens if we block the alveoli and dont let air come in?
Wont have oxygen, and without adequate oxygen in alveoli, then there is no adequate oxygen in blood flow… Cant reach VO2 max.
Decreasing Ve, _________, Va.
decreases
Explain a pulmonary disease.
When the alveoli are blocked and air is not let in. No oxygen in alveoli, therefore in blood flow.
Describe a respiratory disease.
Blocks bronchi.
What are VO2 max levels if its a respiratory disease?
Very low
What is the normal Va/Q value?
0.8 (4L/min/5L/min)
How does a pulmonary disease affect Va/Q?
Numerator drops.
Lower value overall.
How does a cardiovascular disease affect Va/Q?
Denominator drops.
Higher value overall.
What happens if the person potentially has both diseases, in relation to the Va/Q?
Then the numbers might drop proportionally and the overall value may seem normal. But really, significantly lower VO2 max.
For females, how many grams of Hb, 100ml of blood?
13-15
For males, how many grams of Hb, 100ml of blood?
15-17
