1

What is the point of the endocrine/nervous system?

To control

New cards
2

Do women have more testosterone or estrogen?

testosterone

New cards
3

Why do things like pregnancy blockers and tren take multiple sessions to kick in?

They are lipid soluble hormones

New cards
4

Since vitamin D is lipid soluble what is it considered?

a hormone

New cards
5

What is the base for a steroid hormone?

cholesterol/lipid

New cards
6

Can steroid hormones diffuse into the cell? If so, why or why not?

Yes, they are lipid soluble

New cards
7

What are some examples of steroid hormones?

Aldosterone, cortisol, testosterone, and estrogen

New cards
8

What is the base for nonsteroid hormones?

amino acids

New cards
9

Can nonsteroid hormones enter cells? If so why or why not?

No, they are water soluble

New cards
10

How do steroid hormones send signals?

They bind to receptors on the outside of a cell, and that releases a second messenger to carry out the task

New cards
11

What type of hormones only have first messengers?

Steroid hormones

New cards
12

Why do steroid hormones only have first messengers?

They diffuse directly into the cell

New cards
13

Why do nonsteroid hormones have second messengers?

They cannot diffuse into cell, so second receptors release into the cell to complete the action

New cards
14

How do hormones cause change in the body?

They roam in blood till they find their proper receptors

New cards
15

What does negative feedback do?

Return the body to homeostais

New cards
16

What does positive feedback do?

Pushes the body farther from homeostasis

New cards
17

What hormones are released from the anterior pituitary gland?

Growth/GH, Follicle stimulating/FSH, Luteinizing/LH

New cards
18

What does growth hormone GH do?

Promotes growth/maintains organs, bones, etc

New cards
19

What stimulates the release of growth hormone?

Growth hormone releasing hormone GHRH

New cards
20

What stimulates the release of FSH and LH?

Gonadotropin releasing hormone GnRH

New cards
21

What does FSH/LH do?

Causes release of testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone

New cards
22

What hormone would you use as a puberty blocker?

GHRH

New cards
23

How does excessive GHRH inhibit puberty?

It decreases androgen production

New cards
24

What can occur if a women exercises too much without proper nutrient supplementation?

Amenorrhea

New cards
25

Why can a women experience amenorrhea if they exercise without proper nutrient supplementation?

The brain inhibits FSH because the body cannot support a baby

New cards
26

What hormone(s) are released from the adrenal gland? (no SNS)

Cortisol

New cards
27

Is cortisol a slow acting or fast acting hormone?

Slow acting

New cards
28

Why is cortisol a slow acting hormone? (base wise)

It is a lipid base

New cards
29

What does cortisol do in the body?

Suppresses immune system, promotes/catabolizes protein breakdown, promotes/catabolizes fat breakdown

New cards
30

Why does cortisol inhibit immune system and breakdown fat/protein?

To increase energy in the body during stressful situations

New cards
31

Why might you get sick at the end of a stressful semester?

Cortisol suppressing the immune system

New cards
32

What are the steps to stimulating the release of cortisol?

Corticotropic hormone (CrH) goes to adrenal medulla, releasing ACTH

New cards
33

What hormone(s) are released from the adrenal glands with SNS intervention?

Epinephrine and norepinephrine

New cards
34

What does epi/norepi do?

Increase HR, increases contractility, bronchodilate, vasoconstricts/increases BP, catabolize fat tissue, muscle/liver break down glycogen

New cards
35

What is contractility?

How hard the heart beats, more contractility allows for more blood to be pumped in the body

New cards
36

Is the pancreas an endocrine or exocrine organ?

Both

New cards
37

What hormone(s) are released from the pancreas?

Insulin and glucagon

New cards
38

What cells produce insulin?

Beta

New cards
39

What cells produce glucagon?

Alpha

New cards
40

If blood sugar rises what hormone increases?

Insulin

New cards
41

If blood sugar decreases what hormone increases?

Glucagon

New cards
42

What does glucagon target?

Liver

New cards
43

Why does glucagon target the liver?

It converts glycogen into sugar through glycogenolysis and releases the sugar

New cards
44

Is the endocrine system interconnected? Why or why not?

No, all glands are isolated but can influence each other

New cards
45

What releases hormones to the anterior pituitary?

Hypothalamus

New cards
46

When is testosterone highest?

The morning

New cards
47
<p>What causes the increase in glucose during this exercise?</p>

What causes the increase in glucose during this exercise?

Cortisol releases fat and protein that then gets converted into sugar

New cards
48
<p>Why is insulin decreasing during while this person is working out?</p>

Why is insulin decreasing during while this person is working out?

The GLUT-4 exercise pathway is being used

New cards
49

When is ATP highest?

At rest

New cards
50

When is AMP highest?

While exercising

New cards
51

What does cAMP do?

Promotes sugar breakdown, stopping storage of glycogen

New cards
52

What does active synthase do?

Turns glucose into glycogen

New cards
53

What does active phosphorylase do?

Breaks down glycogen into glucose

New cards
54

How does adding a phosphate affect phosphorylase?

It actives it

New cards
55

How does adding a phosphate affect synthase?

It deactivates it

New cards
56

Do active synthase and phosphorylase run at the same time?

No

New cards
57

Why don’t active synthase and phosphorylase run at the same time?

It is not energy efficient

New cards
58

What hormone is made in the kidney?

Erythropoietin/EPO

New cards
59

Where does EPO go?

The red bone marrow in the epiphysis of bone

New cards
60

What does EPO do?

Stimulates RBC production to increase O2 transport

New cards
61

What stimulates EPO production?

A decrease in O2 in the blood

New cards
62

Why does EPO production occur in the kidney?

Kidneys filter all the blood so they constantly detect O2 levels

New cards
63

Why would someone train in high altitude, what affects would it have?

To increase EPO and have increase O2 transport at regular altitude

New cards
64

How often do all RBCs get cycled through?

Every 4 months

New cards
65

What are the four main hormones of exercise?

Epi/norepi, cortisol, and glucagon

New cards
66

What is not hormone of exercise?

Insulin

New cards
67

As exercise intensity increases what happens to hormonal response?

It increases

New cards
68

How would glycogen depletion affect the body?

Decreased ability to perform exercises

New cards
69

If glycogen falls too low what would be used to supplement it? And what hormone is would do it?

Fat and protein, cortisol

New cards
70

If you increase the rate of exercise intensity with low glycogen, how is RER affected and why?

RER increases because carbs are burning

New cards
71
<p>Which line has higher intensity?</p>

Which line has higher intensity?

A

New cards
72
<p>What is an estimated RPE for line A?</p>

What is an estimated RPE for line A?

15 or more

New cards
73
<p>What is an estimated RPE for line B?</p>

What is an estimated RPE for line B?

8-10

New cards
74
<p>Which line is using more carbs?</p>

Which line is using more carbs?

A

New cards
75
<p>Which line has more epi/norepi?</p>

Which line has more epi/norepi?

A

New cards
76
<p>Which line has higher insulin levels?</p>

Which line has higher insulin levels?

B
