Cards

Term
endocrine glands
Definition
release hormones directly into the blood
Term
hormones
Definition
alter the activity of tissues that possess receptors to which hormone can bind
Term
what factors determine the magnitude of the effect of hormones at the tissue level?
Definition
the plasma hormone concentration and the number of active receptor sites
Term
factors which affect the concentration of hormone in the plasma
Definition

rate of secretion of the hormone

 

rate of removal of the hormone (metabolized or excreted)

 

quantity of transport protein

 

changes in plasma volume

Term
receptor sites
Definition

hormones affect only tissue with protein receptor sites specific to the hormone

 

down-regulation: a decrease in the number of active receptor sites

 

up-regulation: an increase in the number of active receptor sites

Term
mechanisms of hormone mediated cellular activity
Definition

1.) membrane transport (activate carriers of proteins of facilitated diffusion)

 

2.) stimulation of DNA to produce mRNA (mRNA carries code for specific protein synthesis in cytoplasm)

 

3.) second messengers (cyclic AMP, Ca2+)

Term
membrane transport
Definition

the binding of some hormones to cell membrane causes activation of carrier molecules located in or near membrane

 

carrier molecules increase movement of substrate or ions to INSIDE of cell

 

ex. insulin binding with receptor in membrane activates glucose transport molecules which bind glucose and diffuse with it to inside of cell

Term
pituitary gland
Definition

located at base of brain

 

attached to hypothalamus which controls both the anterior and posterior lobes of pituitary

Term

role of growth hormone maintenance of plasma glucose

Term
adrenal gland
Definition

2 glands: adrenal medulla and adrenal cortex


part of sympathetic nervous system

 

secretes E and NE (fight or flight response)

Term
epinephrine (E)
Definition
increases heart rate, O2 consumption, and glycogenolysis
Term
norepinephrine (NE)
Definition
increases BP, constricts blood vessels
Term

role of catecholamines (E and NE) in substrate mobilization

 

(need whiteboard)

Definition
[image]
Term
hormones of adrenal cortex
Definition
cortisol and aldosterone
Term
cortisol
Definition
promotes breakdown of tissue protein, stimulates mobilization of FA, stimulates liver production of glucose, blocks entrance of glucose into tissues, has anti-imflammatory and anti-immune responses
Term
aldosterone
Definition
regulates Na+ reabsorption and K+ secretion by the kidneys, helps control plasma volume and BP
Term
role of cortisol in the maintenance of plasma glucose
Definition
cortisol is a slower acting hormone whose response likely does not exert much of an effect on substrate utilization during exercise
Term
hormones of the pancreas
Definition

insulin

 

glucagon

 

somatostatin

Term
insulin
Definition

secreted from β cells of islets of Langerhans

 

stimulates uptake by tissues of nutrients (eg. glucose, AA)

Term
glucagon
Definition

secreted from α cells of islets of Langerhans

 

stimulates mobilization of glucose from liver and FFA from adipose tissue

Term
somatostatin
Definition

secreted by δ cells of islets of Langerhans

 

regulates insulin secretion and rate of absorption in GI tract

Term
effect of insulin in enhancing the concentration of glucose inside muscle cells
Definition

in the presence of insulin, as extracellular glucose increases, intracellular glucose increases as well, forming a linear relationship

 

[image]

Term
effect of insulin and glucagon on glucose and fatty acid uptake and mobilization
Definition

[image]

 

all actions of insulin reduce plasma glucose levels

 

all actions of glucagon increase plasma glucose levels

Term
maintaining plasma glucose: a major challenge posed by exercise
Definition

glucose is taken up 7-20x faster during exercsie (depending on intensity) than rest

 

during intense exercise FA oxidation can't compensate for CHO usage

 

performing prolonged moderate to intense exercise is dependent upon maintaining plasma glucose levels

Term
actions mediated by endocrine responses that maintain blood glucose homeostasis during exercise
Definition

1.) mobilization of glucose from liver glycogen (glycogenolysis)

 

2.) mobilization of FFA from adipose tissue

 

3.) synthesis of new glucose from AA and glycerol (gluconeogenesis)

 

4.) inhibition of glucose uptake

Term
hormonal responses favoring mobilization of glucose from liver glycogen (1)
Definition

INC concentration of catecholamines (E and NE)

 

increased glucagon concentration due to actions of E and NE on α cells of pancreas

 

decreased insulin concentration due to actions of E and NE on β cells of pancreas

 

[image]

Term

hormonal responses favoring mobilization of glucose from liver glycogen (1) ctnd.

Definition

*arrows for triglycerides, FFA, glycogen, glucose, and insulin should be DOWN*

 

[image]

 

all actions of insulin reduce plasma glucose levels

 

all actions of glucagon increase plasma glucose levels

Term
muscle glycogen utilization
Definition

glycogenolysis is related to exercise intensity

(high intensity exercise results in greater and more rapid glycogen depletion)


plasma E is a powerful stimulator of glycogenolysis

(high-intensity exercise results in greater increases in plasma E)

Term
glycogen depletion during exercise
Definition

[image]

 

at 30 and 60, relying on fats, not carbs

 

at 75, running out of muscle and liver glycogen

 

at 120, less time to deplete because can't keep up intensity (fatiguing because of blood acidity)

 

*intense exercise requires muscle glycogen (carbs)*

 

*we have more fat stores, so spare carbs and use fats*
