Shaking of the brain
Concussion
Carry information from CNS to organs
Motor nerves (efferent)
Pinprick to the skin, loud noise, etc.
Receptor
Interprets signal and issues a response
Intermediate nerve fiber
Brain doesn't have time to interpret information
Withdrawal reflex
Helps maintain muscle tension
Muscles spindles
No movement in any limbs
Quadriplegic]
Connects spinal cord to cerebrum
Brain stem
Triglycerides are broken down to use fat for energy
Lipolysis
Main product of glycolysis
Pyruvate
Allows us to move
Somatic nervous system
C6H12O + 6O2 + 36 ADP --> 6CO2 + 36 ATP + 6H2O
Aerobic system (cellular respiration)
ADP + P + energy
ATP
Detect increased tension
Golgi tendon organ
More fatigue resistant
Type I muscle fiber
The main objective of exercise is to
Raise the lactic acid threshold
Digestion is an example of
An autonomic reflex
"During a reflex, the opposing muscle groups are simultaneously stimulated: is the definition of:
Reciprocal inhibition
Which metabolic pathway leads to the complete breakdown of glucose?
Cellular respiration
The by-products of the electron transport chain are:
H2O and CO2
Lipolysis is the process where____________ are broken down to be used for energy:
Triglycerides
Motor (or efferent) nerves:
Carry information from the CNS to the body's organs
Fibers that are dark in colour and able to maintain a lower level of tension for a long duration are known as:
Slow-twitch muscle fibers
The protein that delivers oxygen to working muscles is:
Myoglobin
The system that is responsible for our awareness of the external environment and contains both afferent and efferent nerve fibers is the:
Somatic nervous system
In terms of polysynaptic reflexes, the more interactions involved...
The more complex and slow the reflex will be
When are proteins broken down to be used as an energy source?
In chronic situations such as starvation
Proprioceptors are found in:
Tendons, muscles, joints
Which of the following is not part of the brain?
Golgi tendon organs
The parasympathetic system
Returns the body to a normal/resting state
Which two structures work together to gather, store, and respond to information?
Brain and spinal cord
The ATP-PC pathway produces lactic acid because:
The ATP-PC system does not produce lactic acid
Which of the following is not a readily available source of energy?
Protein
What acts as a catalyst for chemical reactions but is not affected by the reaction?
Enzymes
Phasic muscles:
Capable of powerful movements, high % type IIA and IIB fibers
