Regulation of Metabolism
100
The main function of the respiratory system.
What is gas gas exchange?
100
Release of this hormone decreases at the onset of exercise.
What is insulin?
100
The splitting of glucose into 2 pyruvate molecules.
What is glycolysis?
100
Protein, Fat, and Carbohydrate
What are the macronutrients?
100
The organ capable of producing new glucose.
What is the liver?
200
Carries 99% of the oxygen in the circulation.
What are red blood cells?
200
This hormone is the main signal responsible for increasing the rate of glycogenolysis at the liver.
What is glucagon?
200
The production of lactate regenerates this so that glycolysis can continue.
What is NAD+?
200
The number one priority of metabolism.
What is maintaining blood glucose?
200
The two metabolic hormones released by the pancreas.
What are insulin and glucagon?
300
Areas of the lung airways that do not participate in gas exchange.
What is dead space?
300
Hormone that is related to the stress response and suppresses function of the immune system.
What is cortisol?
300
Process that breaks down long fatty acid chains into 2 carbon fragments.
What is Beta Oxidation?
300
The more storage efficient energy substrate.
What is fat?
300
The main regulatory enzyme of glycolysis.
What is PhosphoFuctoKinase?
400
Two variables that influence oxygen unloading at peripheral muscle tissue.
What is decreased pH, increased temperature, increased CO2
400
The production of glucose from non-carbohydrate sources.
What is gluconeogenesis?
400
Process directly responsible for creating a H+ gradient within the double layer of the mitochondrial membrane.
What is the electron transport chain?
400
ATP produced divided by liters of oxygen required.
What is metabolic efficiency?
400
Hormone that is secreted by the pituitary gland, that stimulates cellular reproduction, increases protein synthesis, and promotes lipolysis.
What is growth hormone?
500
Tidal volume + Inspiratory Reserve Volume + Expiratory Reserve Volume
What is Vital Capacity?
500
This hormone impairs glucose uptake at the muscle by reducing hexokinase function through increasing glycogenolysis.
What is epinephrine?
500
The molecule that is the common meeting point of the metabolism of glucose and fat.
What is acetyl-CoA?
500
Blood glucose elevates during this form of exercise.
What is high intensity, short duration anaerobic exercise.
500
Where ATP stores its potential energy.
What is the second phosphate bond?
