25
_______________ helps control pathways involved in glycolysis, glycogen synthesis and lipid and cholesterol metabolism
testosterone
26
hormone produced by adipose cells that decreases appetite when released
leptin
27
role of leptin
ends a signal to the brain signaling that enough food has been consumed and appetite should be inhibited
28
ghrelin
hormone that is produced and released primarily by the stomach, with small amounts also released by the small intestine, pancreas, and brain
29
role of ghrelin
stimulates appetite, fat deposition and growth hormone release, leading to increased hunger and fat storage
30
CCK (Cholecystokinin)
hormone released in the gastrointestinal system and is responsible for stimulating the digestion of fat and protein
31
______ is secreted by cells of the upper small intestine
CCK
32
function of CCK
-released when amino acids or fatty acids enter into the stomach or beginning of the small intestines -stimulates the gallbladder to contract and release stored bile into the intestine to help breakdown fat and protein.
33
NPY (Neuropeptide Y)
-neuropeptide hormone linked to the autonomic nervous system -a specialized hormone produced in the hypothalamus
34
neuropeptide
small protein-like molecules used by neurons to communicate with each other
35
role of NPY
helps stimulate the sympathetic nervous system, which stimulates appetite and fat storage
36
hormone produced by the pancreas that is released when blood glucose levels are high, promoting the uptake of glucose for fuel or storage as glycogen
Insulin
37
Role of insulin
-helps keeps blood-sugar levels from getting too high -increases glucose uptake in peripheral tissue (e.g., skeletal muscle) while also decreasing the production of glucose by the liver
38
Glucagon
hormone that is released when blood sugars decrease below a certain threshold
39
role of glucagon
stimulates the breakdown of stored glucose (glycogen) in the liver, releasing additional glucose into the bloodstream for fuel.
40
The human body can only store approximately ___ to _______ grams of ATP, which is only enough energy for a few seconds of high-intensity activity.
80 to 100 grams
41
ATP-PC stands for
adenosine triphosphate-phosphocreatine
42
ATP-PC pathway
uses the energy released from the breakdown of phosphocreatine (also called creatine phosphate) for an immediate source of energy and then uses the phosphate molecule to produce more ATP.
43
chemical compound stored in the muscles in limited supply.
Phosphocreatine (PC)
44
the quickest way to resynthesize ATP, but can only resynthesize ATP for very brief periods (5-15 seconds)
ATP-PC system
45
in the ATP-PC pathway, the synthesis of ATP comes from....
stored PC (phosphocreatine)
46
the enzyme that breaks down phosphocreatine (PC) into creatine and an inorganic phosphate (Pi).
Creatine kinase
47
PC stores are replenished after about ______________ of rest.
2 minutes
48
Glycolysis

56
If lactic acid becomes the end product, it is called _________________
anaerobic glycolysis
57
If pyruvate is used further in the Krebs cycle, it becomes part of ____________________ or ____________ respiration.
