TOPIC 7 Further Anatomy
The inner layer of the two main layers of the skin.
What is dermis?
This endocrine gland is located in the brain below the hypothalamus.
What is the pituitary gland?
This type of fatigue develops rapidly and is caused by reduced muscle cell force.
What is peripheral fatigue?
This part of the brain processes sensory information it receives from the outside world, mainly relating to touch, taste, and temperature. It also contains symbolic and speech association areas.
What is the parietal lobe?
These hormones travel around the body in the blood. Examples include adrenaline and testosterone.
What are circulating hormones?
This is what EPOC stands for..
What is excess post-exercise oxygen consumption?
It is a part of the brain that plays a vital role in maintaining balance and coordination in all physical movement.
What is the cerebellum?
The alpha cells of the pancreas secrete this important hormone when blood sugar levels are too low.
What is glucagon?
State two main causes of peripheral fatigue in high-intensity exercise.
What are:
1) depletion of energy sources (CP and ATP)
2)increase in levels of lactate and hydrogen ions.
State the five functions of the skin.
What is
• regulation of body temperature
• protection and immunity
• sensation
• excretion
• synthesis of vitamin D.
The pineal gland is key to the body's internal clock because it regulates the body's circadian rhythms. It does that by secreting this hormone..
What is melatonin?
State two processes which occur during EPOC.
What are:
– restoration of muscle creatine phosphate stores
– removal of lactic acid
– replenishment of myoglobin stores
– replacement of muscle and liver glycogen stores.
A highly selective semipermeable membrane that helps keeping harmful substances from reaching the brain.
What is the blood-brain barrier (BBB)?
It is a hormone that helps your kidneys manage the amount of water in your body. It is produced by the hypothalamus and secreted by the posterior portion of the pituitary gland.
What is antidiuretic hormone (ADH)?
State three causes of peripheral fatigue in endurance activities.
What are:
• depletion of muscle and liver glycogen reserves
• reduction in Ca2+ release
• depletion of acetylcholine
• dehydration
• electrolyte loss
• overheating.
