What is the function of glycogen | When glycolosis is turned off by high ATP levels, glucose molecules are combined to form glycogen the animal carbohydrate storage product. |
Where is most glycogen stored | Liver where it can use its glycogen stores to provide blood sugar for other organs when glucose levels drop. Liver glycogen is important energy source for skeletal muscles. Complex carbs are more effective in sustaining muscles |
What are nutrients | Carbs, fats, proteins, vitamins and minerals and water |
What are essential nutrients | Nutrients that cannot be made in the body so must be provided by the diet. |
Why is fat necessary in our diet | Help body absorb fat soluble vitamins, triglycerides are major energy fuel for hepatocytes & skeletal muscle, and phospholipids are essential component of myelin sheaths and cell membranes |
What is nitrogen balance | Rate of protein synthesis equals rate of protein breakdown and loss. Homeostatic state is reflected in our nitrogen balance. In balance when amt of nitrogen in protein equals amount excreted in feces & urine |
How do we get ketones/ketone bodies | Without oxaloacetic acid, fat oxidation is incomplete. Acetyl CoA accumulates in ketogenesis. The liver converts the acetyl CoA to ketones which are released in the blood |
When do we hear heartbeat | Gestational age 1 month |
When are lungs complete | 8 month gestational age |
When is basic spinal cord & brain structure completed | 3 month gestational age |
When can mom possible start feeling fetal movements | 4 month gestational age |
Males gamete production | Mitosis of spermatagonium (diploid) primary spermatocyte (dna replication/synapsis & tetrad formation) meiosis I –secondary spermatocyte Meiosis II – spermatids (haploid) spermiogenesis –spermatazoa (physical maturation) |
Oogenesis | Mitosis oogonium (before birth)–primary oocyte (diploid)Meiosis I after pub) 1st polar body & 2nd oocyte (haploid),meiosis II beginning in tert.follicle; 2nd oocyte in metaphase of meiosis II;if fertilized meiosis II completed; 2nd polar body and ovum |
What is FSH in males | Follicle stimulating hormone which affects semeniferous tubules to promote spermatogenesis and spermiogenesis; from pituitary gland; affect cns, bone & muscle growth, secondary characteristics, maintenance of accessory glands & organs |
What is LH in males | From pituitary gland stimulates secretion from testes of testosterone and other androgens |
What is FSH in females | Affects developing follicle; secretes inhibin and estrogen, affect cns, bone & muscle growth, secondary characteristics, maintenance of accessory glands & organs |
What is LH in females | Secretion of progesterone; stimulation of endometrial growth and secretion |
What is the greater vestibular glands | Bartholins glands which are mucous glands like the bulbourethral glands of the male. |
What are principal ECF ions | Principal ECF ions Na+, CL-, Bicarbonate. |
What are principal ICF ions | Principal ICF ions are K+, Mg & phosphate and negatively charged proteins. |
How does body react when PH is out of homeostasis | We end up either acidotic (low pH) or alkalotic (high pH). It can be respiratory or metabolic. We compensate for changes either by respiratory or renal compensation by secreting or retaining H+ ions. |
