Phosphorylation
This term refers to the strict measurement of the amount of energy burned at rest.

Phosphofructokinase (PFK)
You can determine the kcals burned per day by multiplying these two variables. (Daily Double)
liters of O2 consumed per day * Kcal used per liter of O2
The resting membrane potential of a cell is...
-70 mV
This type of muscle fiber shows up darkest under a microscope.
Type 1
Hypertrophy is cased by increases in these components of a muscle.
Increase in: Actin, Myosin, Sarcoplasm, Connective Tissue, Myofibrils
This is how much ATP is produced from 1 molecule of glycogen.
33 ATP
The use of less energy as an athlete become more skilled is termed...
Economy of Effort
This portion of the brain regulates homeostasis
Hypothalamus
This zone of a sarcomere contains both actin and myosin.
A-Band
This fiber type is most effected by a cession of training. (DAILY DOUBLE)
Type 1
This pathway converts lactate back into glucose in the liver.
Cori Cycle
These 4 metabolic byproduct can result in fatigue.
H+ accumulation, Heat, Lactic Acid, Phosphate
This nerve regulate muscle length and tone
Gamma motor neuron
These are the 3 compounds on a myosin head in a resting state.
ADP, Phosphate, ATPase
Resistance training stimulates this molecule which results in an increase in mTOR.
IGF-1
