Q

Vitamin D deficiency?

A

Rickets in children (poor growth, mis-shaped/soft bones); bone fragility

As you become older bone gets weaker because calcium leaks out of the bone. (i.e., sask has high rate of osteoporosis because we don’t get as much sunlight during winter.)

A

The fluid pressure of blood against the blood vessels

75
Q

See last chapter slides 5-7

A

…

76
Q

The kidneys help regulate ___ by?

A

water balance, by adjusting the amount of water lost in the urine in response to the release of antidiuretic hormone (ADH).

Kidneys are working to absorb water when dehydrated.

77
Q

The correct combination and amounts of electrolytes are?

A

Essential for life

78
Q

Distribution of electrolytes affects?

A

the distribution of water throughout the body.

79
Q

What are the principle electrolytes in body fluids?

A

Sodium, potassium, and chloride

80

How much daily energy intake does the sodium-potassium pump use?

A

Uses about 40% of your total daily energy intake.

If you’re active, you burn more mass. (Energy expenditure)

96
Q

What happens during a cramp?

A

Muscle cramping is too much potassium in the muscle, Gatorade can solve this immediately.

97
Q

Describe electrolytes during contraction?

A

Sodium depolarizes the cell when it comes in.

More sodium comes in then potassium leaving so it is a positive charge. (wave of depolarization)

98
Q

Alcohol is rapidly absorbed by?

A

simple diffusion along the entire GI tract.

99
Q

About what percent of alcohol is absorbed in the stomach

A

20%

100
Q

Absorbed alcohol is rapidly distributed throughout?

A

all body water compartments.

101
Q

How much alcohol is metabolized in the liver?

A

90%

102
Q

How much alcohol is excreted in the urine?

A

5% is excreted into the urine

103
Q

Where is the excess alcohol eliminated?

A

via the lungs

104
Q

Why do females get drunk faster?

A

The female is higher because we have less mass (i.e., more body water to metabolize it)

105
Q

Weight Affecting Blood Alcohol Level?

A

The more people weigh, the more body water they have, so the more dilute the alcohol in their blood is after they consume a given amount.

106
Q

Gender Affecting Blood Alcohol Level?

A

Men have more body water and more stomach alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) activity and thus have a lower blood alcohol level after consuming a standard amount of alcohol than women of the same size.

107
Q

Food Affecting Blood Alcohol Level?

A

Food in the stomach slows alcohol absorption so the more food people eat before drinking, the lower their blood alcohol level will be.

108
Q

Drinking rate Affecting Blood Alcohol Level?

A

The body metabolizes alcohol slowly. As the number of drinks per hour increases, blood alcohol level steadily rises.

109
Q

Type of drink Affecting Blood Alcohol Level?

A

The amount of alcohol in the drink affects how fast the blood alcohol level rises. When carbonated mixers (such as tonic water or club soda) are used, the body absorbs alcohol more quickly.

110
Q

Alcohol Metabolism Two Primary Pathways?

A

Cytosol alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH): for breaking down small amounts of alcohol

Microsomal ethanol-oxidizing system (MEOS): important for breaking down large amounts of alcohol

111
Q

Alcohol is also metabolized by?

A

ADH to yield acetaldehyde—a toxic compound.

A little bit is fine, but too much can cause cancer, fatty live disease, sorosis of liver, etc.

112
Q

A

…

113
Q

Alcohol AFTER exercise has what effect on ____ and ____?

A

negative, protein synthesis, and hormonal regulation

114
Q

This effect may be dose-dependent, how many drinks?

A

(>5 drinks)
