Q

where does pyruvic acid go after its broken down from glucose

Q

how does pyruvic acid get from the cytosol where it was broken down from glucose, into the mitochondria where krebs ocurs?

Q

what does lactic acid yield?

A

Q

whats the cori cycle, where does it occur and when do u use it?

A

describe ETC
H+ from the end of glycolysis and krebs join with NAD/FAD to be NADH and FADH2, the the H+ goes thru the ETC and ATP+ H2O comes out
26
each NADH yields how many ATP?
3

each FADH2 yields how many ATP?
2
28
all the way from glycolysis through ETC yields how many ATP?
38 from glucose | 39 from glycogen
29
how do the FFA floating in the blood stream get into krebs?
acetyl CoA picks em up and takes em into the mitochondria
30

8 acetyl CoA--> 7 NADH 7 FADH2 = 31 ATP-2 for activation= grand total of 129 ATP
31

over 200
39
waist circumference | women
very low risk: 110 cm
40
waist circumference | Men
very low risk: 120 cm
41
receptors for water soluble hormones vs. steroid hormones
water soluble= located on cell membrane | steroids (fat sol)= located in cytoplasm or in nucleus
42
steroid hormones are produced by...?
produced by adrenal cortex and gonads,
43
examples of steroid hormones
cortisol, testosterone, estradiol
44
define hormone
substance secreted by a specialized gland into the blood, carried to a target tissue and binds to a specifi receptor to exert biological effects
45
non steroid hormones
amino acid derived: thyroxine, epinephrine, norepinephrine
46
anterior pituitary is contolled by what? releases what?
hypothalamus; growth hormone
47
3 thyroid hormones
>calcitonin- >T3 >T4
48
what does calcitonin do?
reduces blood Ca levels, inhibits bone resorption (bones releasing Ca into blood)
49
what does T3/T4 do?
increases cellular metabolism, inc. HR and contractility, promotes uptake of glucose, enhance glycolysis and gluconeogenesis, enhance lipid mobilization (it upregulates everything u need in flight!)
50
what does the adrenal medualla produce?
epinephrine and norepinephrine
51
what do epi and norepi do?
inc. HR and contraction strength, BP and RR inc. metabolic rates releases glucose and FFA intoblood vasodilation inc. blood to skin for temp control
52
how are epi and norepi affected by exercise?
both increase, norepi increases first and takes several hours to return to normal, epi comes in later and goes back to norm w/in mins
53
what does the adrenal cortex produce?
glucocorticoids corticosteriods : cortisol mineralcorticoids:aldosteron
54
what is the job of a glucocorticoid?
adapt to external changes and stress, maintain consistent levels of glucose with and without food
55
cortisol?
stimulates gluconeogenesis, increases FFA mobilization, stim. protein metab., depresses immune reactions, vasoconstriction
56
mineralcorticoids, aldosterone and ADH
maintain electrolyte levels | aldosterone: stim. kidneys to retain Na (and therefore retain water) while excreting K+
57
when is aldosterone released?
decreased plasma Na+, decreased blood volume, decreased BP or inc. K+
58
pancreas hormones
insulin: released when blood glucose high glucagon: released when blood glucose is low
59
posterior pituitary is triggered by what and produces what hormone?
triggered by hypothalamus and produces ADH
60
what does ADH do?
promotes water conservation
61
direct calorimetry
measures heat | -expensive
62
indirect calorimetry
measures O2/CO2 | -common method
63
Formula to get from METS to lb. of fat
take METS x 3.5=relative VO2 (ml/kg/min), then x bw in kg to get absolute VO2 in (ml/min), then divide by 1000 to get absolute VO2 in (L/min), then x5 to get Kcal/min, then x total number of mins to get total kcals then divide by 3500 to get lb. of fat.
64
whats the target % of max HR to be in fat burning
40-60%
65
RER
respiratory exchange ratio: V CO2/ V O2
66
RER fats, mixed, carbs
0. 65- fats (more O2 (beta ox. than CO2 glycolysis) 0. 80- mixed fuel source 1. 05- carbs (more CO2 glycolysis than O2 b oxidation)
67
what happens at the lactate threshold
glycogen breakdown slows (stops PFK), inhibits glycogen phosphorylase, decreased FFA mob., dec. mm contractions-->body's way of telling u to STOP!
68
what transmits AP from sarcolemma to deep into mm fiber, close to the SR
T tubules
69
what does the SR do?
stores, releases and reuptakes calcium
70
Z line to Z line=
one sarcomere
71
I band
thin filaments (actin)
72
A band
overlap of filaments
73
H band
thick filaments (myosin)
74
M band
midline
75
what do the diff. types of troponin do? | C,T, I
``` C= binds calcium T= binds troponin to tropomyosin I= inhibitory on tropomyosin when no Ca available ```
76
what happens when calcium binds to troponin?
Ca binds to troponin and moves tropomyosin out of the way so that myosin can bind to the actin
77
largest protein in the body
titan
78
nebulin
5% of protein in body, measures length of think filament
79
myosin heavy chain
heads contain ATP and active binding sites
80
myosin light chain
regulates speed
81
thalamus=
sensory input for motor control (except smell)
82
hypothalamus=
maintains homeostasis, internal environments | -BP, HR, contractility, breathing, digestion, body temp, fluids, endocrine control, emotions, sleep/wake, food/thirst
83
cerebellum
rapid movements compares intended act. with actual results and makes corrections recieves visual input smooths out the jerks in movements
84
brain stem
``` autonomic regulation (resp. and CV) reticular formation skeletal mm fxn maintain mm tone consciousness pain control with opiates ```
85
stroke population exercise program
aerobic 20-60 min, 3-5 days/week at 40-70% VO2 max, use RPE | strengthening: 2-3 days/week 3 sets of 8-12 reps
86
