Give Me Energy
In the body carbohydrates are broken down into what macromolecule?
glucose
What is the name of the energy system/pathway that does NOT require the presence of oxygen
Anaerobic respiration/system
if someone is a marathon runner, what muscle fiber type would we expect to be more prevalent in their body?
Type 1, slow twitch
Largest part of the brain, contains sensory and motor neurons and can be divided into two halves
Cerebrum
There are more nerve cells in the human brain than there are stars in the____________.
Milky Way Galaxy
Glucose is stored in what organ and in the form of what?
Liver and Glycogen
Kreb Cycle and Electron transport chain happen in what cell organelle and what energy pathway or system?
Mitochondria and Aerobic pathway/system
Austin Matthews is a forward on the Toronto maple leaf's hockey team. What type of muscle fibers would we expect to see more of in his legs?
Type IIA or Fast-Oxidative Glycolytic (FOG)
- the intermediate
What nervous system injuries are more common than spinal cord injuries
concussions
this subsystem on the PNS prepares the body for emergencies, adrenaline for fight or flight, and alerts the body
sympathetic nervous system
What is made of many amino acids linked together and is the last resort as an energy source within the body during the Aerobic energy pathway?
proteins
The amount of ATP produced by this pathway/process will allow an athlete to engage in a high level of performance for an additional 1-3 minutes.
Anaerobic Lactic
___________ is a protein that delivers oxygen to working muscles
Myoglobin
Responsible for autonomic functions, postural control, muscle control, and eye movement. Arguably the worst part of the brain to damage.
Brain Stem
this system is responsible for helping you respond to your external environment through tough pain and sensory input
somatic nervous system
Fats are the predominant source of energy in exercise lasting longer than ______ mins
what is 20 mins?
During Glycolysis, pyruvic acid is then converted into _____________ and this leads to muscle pain and soreness.
How do we find out our muscle fiber type?
A biopsy performed - must acquire a tissue sample
Main pathway for information being transferred between the brain and the peripheral nervous system.
Spinal column/Cord
JK NO NEURONS, what is Ms. Pece's favourite hockey team?
Toronto Maple Leafs :(((((((
What sub pathway produces the most ATP from the complete breakdown of glucose and HOW much?
Electron transport chain and 34 ATP molecules
a compound that is stored in the muscle and readily used during Anaerobic alactic respiration without the presence of oxygen to make ATP
PC = phosphocreatine
These muscles assists the body with maintaining posture or stability during walking, standing, throwing. High % of type I fibres (slow-twitch) ex. soleus
Tonic Muscles
Diencephalon consist of two parts of the brain. Name those two parts:
Hypothalamus + Thalamus
GOT YA AGAIN. What country concert did Ms. Pece go to in March and wore the concert merch to school the next day?
Zach Bryan
