HES 403- Exam 2
Question | Answer |
---|---|
3 functions of hormones during exercise | fuel mobilization, cardiovascular actions, pulmonary actions |
Which glut transporter is stimulated by insulin? | glut-4 |
Which glut transporter is found in the liver? | glut-2 |
What over-rides limited muscle glucose uptake in post-absorptive phase? | contracting skeletal muscle |
High insulin during exercise | stimulates Rd and inhibits Ra (very bad) |
Norepinephrine and epinephrine are derivatives of | tyrosine |
Where is norepinephrine released? | leaking out of sympathetic neurons |
Where is epinephrine released? | adrenal medulla |
Synthesis pathway of tyrosine derivatives | tyrosine-> DOPA -> dopamine -> norepinephrine -> epinephrine |
Physiologic effects of adrenergic receptors | can cause constriction or dilation of blood vessels; inhibit lipolysis or stimulate it; etc |
Calorigenesis | heat production |
Why is it ok to eat during exercise (with respect to insulin)? | epi/NE inhibit insulin secretion |
Steroid hormone biosynthesis | testosterone to estradiol is only one step |
Steroid hormones are synthesized from | acetate |
Amine receptors | intracellular or extracellular |
Neurotransmitters are | amines |
Steroid hormones major effect | transcription |
Amine/peptide hormones major effects | transcription/modification of existing proteins |
Orthostatic intolerance | changing posture rapidly causes one to pass out (older) |
4 types of 2nd messengers | cAMP, Ca2+, IP3, phosphorylation/dephosphorylation cascades |
epinephrine cascade | adenylyl cyclase, cAMP, activate PKA, phosphorylase kinase, activates phosphorylase |
insulin action at muscle | GLUT1 always there, insulin tyrosine kinase makes GLUT4 translocate to the membrane |
where does caffeine work (one) | blocks adenosine from binding to its receptor (which usually inhibits adenylyl cyclase) |
A1 receptor | adenosine binds to it, and this inhibits adenylyl cyclase |
PDE | phosphodiesterase; breaks down cAMP into AMP |
3 types of hormone action | endocrine, paracrine, autocrine |
where hormones come from (classic) | hypothalamus, pituitary, thyroid, adrenal, pancreas, testes, ovaries |
where hormones come from (novel) | adipose, endothelium, skeletal muscle, heart, stomach, small intestine |
brain produces some of its own | insulin |
does epi or NE have a higher concentration? | norepinephrine |
what happens to insulin training vs. untrained? | goes down |
what happens to plasma insulin during exercise? | decreases |
what happens to NE/epi as O2 consumption increases? | up exponentially |
lactate ___ and ____ improve with training | turnover and clearance |
effect of varying O2 supply on performance | increased up to 100% (due to chemoreceptors? Or up from 97% saturation) |
ADP/AMP intralipid vs. control | higher for all during exercising, but higher for control condition |
Metabolic response to exercise for FFA/glycerol/glucose/H+ | both Ra and Rd increase (Ra may be more) |
Metabolic response to exercise amino acids | flux reduced (leucine oxidation increases) |
Turnover cannot be | assessed by blood concentration |
Alveolar surface area | 90 square meters (about 1000 square feet) |
Two pulmonary zones | conducting zone and respiratory zone |
Muscle mechanics of breathing | diaphragm descends, ribs rise |
Why does EPOC occur? | HR/ventilation do not immediately drop; lactate oxidation |
Sea level pressure | 760 mm Hg |
Peak O2 location | outside lungs |
Peak CO2 location | in mitochondria |
N2 % | 79.04% |
O2 % | 20.93% |
CO2 % | 0.03% |
Why is alveolar O2 less than 21%? | gradient moves it inside, moistening air lowers O2 partial pressure |
Bohr effect | higher acidity, CO2, higher temp allows more oxygen to be unloaded |
Oxyhemoglobin dissociation is a | sigmoid curve |
Haldane effect | opposite of Bohr effect; hemoglobin holds onto oxygen tighter at lungs |
What affects oxygen carrying capacity other than hemoglobin saturation? | number of red blood cells |
Tidal volume vs. pulmonary minute ventilation | directly proportional |
Breathing frequency vs. pulmonary minute ventilation | directly proportional |
Inspiratory time/expiratory time vs. pulmonary minute ventilation | inversely proportional |
The ventilatory breakpoint | the point at which ventilation increases disproportionately to oxygen consumption (before VO2 max) |
Anaerobic threshold | the point at which metabolism becomes more dependent on anaerobic pathways; reflects lactate under most conditions; increase in VE/VO2 without an increase in VE/VCO2 |
Where are chemoreceptors found? | aortic bodies, carotid bodies; many others |
Silent ischemia | mutation in H+ channel of sensory receptors on heart |
Proof can dissociate ventilation threshold from lactate threshold | McArdle’s disease patients; ventilation threshold will still increase b/c of H+ from ATP hydrolysis |
Dyspnea | inappropriate shortness of breath |
Lungs are the right size for | CO2 release |
Valsalva maneuver | involuntary breathing technique that traps and pressurizes air in the lungs and can raise blood pressure |
Hematocrit | ratio of packed cells to total blood volume |
Buffy coat | white blood cells in blood (<1%) |
Hematocrit responses to endurance training | increase in plasma volume, increase in # RBCs (more of an increase in volume than blood cells so ratio goes down) |
Arterial-venous oxygen difference | amount of oxygen extracted from the blood as it travels through the body (increases w/ exercise) |
4 factors that affect maximum race velocity | running economy, velocity at LT, VO2 max, % VO2 max at LT |
pulmonary anatomy & training | does not change |
what allows heart cells to contract together? | intercalated disks |
arteries aka | conducting vessels |
arterioles aka | resistance vessels |
capillaries aka | exchange vessels |
venules/veins aka | capacitance vessels (large fraction of total blood volume) |
average blood volume | 5 L |
venous return aided by (3) | one-way valves, smooth muscle bands, muscular contractions |
parasympathetic stimulated by | vagus nerve; lower HR, force of contraction |
why do endurance athletes have lower resting BP? | stronger signal from vagus nerve |
the heart is dependent on | extracellular calcium ions (calcium induced calcium release) |
preload | factors that contribute to filling (stretching) |
3 factors that affect preload | cardiac output, posture, intrathoracic pressure |
afterload | tension during ejection; affected by anatomic impedance |
3 factors that affect contractility | loss of myocardium, ionotropic drugs, pharmacologic depressants |
bradycardia | <60 bpm |
tachycardia | >100 bpm |
steady state HR | optimal heartrate for demands at that specific work; lower= more efficient |
stroke volume | major determinant of endurance capacity at maximal rates of work |
cardiac output average | 5 L/min |
if 40-60% VO2 max, increase in cardic output is due to | heart rate, not stroke volume |
functional sympatholysis | over-riding signal to constrict |
cardiac output is determined by | the balance between mean arterial pressure and total peripheral resistance |
distribution of cardic output in muscle at rest vs. exercise | 20%/1000mL; 84%; 21,000 mL |
poiseuille’s law | radius^4 so that will affect flow more than pressure, length, or viscosity |
cardiac output units | L/min |
stoke volume units | mL/beat |
counterregulatory hormones | raise the level of glucose in the blood by promoting glycogenolysis, gluconeogenesis, ketosis, and other catabolic processes |
