New cards
How much body fat do we need?
* Essential
* cell membranes, nerves, reproduction, immunity, etc.
* Non-Essential
* visceral
* surrounds the major organs (viscera).  Visceral fat is more easily metabolized and increases LDL, triglycerides, blood pressure, and insulin resistance.
* higher risk for chronic disease
* subcutaneous
* is the fat that lies just underneath the skin

Lack of body fat in females may cause amenorrhea.(loss of the menstrual cycle that effects bone health)
7
New cards
Why is body fat distribution important?
* Android
* apple shape, abdominal fat
* more common in males
* Visceral fat = higher risk for chronic disease
* Gynoid
* pear shape, hips and thighs
* more common in females
* Subcutaneous fat = lower risk for chronic disease

How does weight affect health?
\*a very low body weight and a very high body weight are both associated with different effects on health.
9
New cards
How is blood glucose regulated?
* Blood Glucose is too high
* Pancreas secretes insulin
* Insulin escorts glucose into cells
* Blood glucose is decreased
* Blood Glucose is too low
* Pancreas secretes glucagon
* Glucagon stimulates the breakdown of stored glycogen into glucose
* Blood glucose is increased
10
New cards
What is Diabetes?
* Type 1
* Insulin Dependent
* Formerly “juvenile onset”
* Pancreas not secreting enough insulin
* __**Reduced insulin production**__
* Type 2
* Non-Insulin Dependent
* Formerly “adult onset”
* Cells are not responding to insulin
* __**Reduced insulin sensitivity**__
* closly related to behavior modification to reduce the risk

What contributes to the development of type 2 diabetes?

* __***Obesity and inflammation***__ increase risk
* 90% can be prevented through lifestyle changes (healthful diet, physical activity)
11
New cards
adiponectin
The adipose cells typically release a hormone called __*adiponectin*__ that makes cells sensitive to insulin.  Obesity decreases adiponectin.  This contributes to insulin resistance.

Stage 1 - Alarm: fight or flight response is initiated

Stage 2 - Resistance \*achieve a new level of homeostasis: you start to adapt and achieve a new level of homeostasis, (e.g., freshman may find a speech stressful; seniors have adapted and no longer find it as stressful). Having some stressors in your life can lead to positive adaptations.

\
Stage 3 - Exhaustion \*burnt out and decrease in performance: If you have back to back or persistent stressors you may enter the exhaustion stage. This is not the same as feeling tired at the end of the day. This is absolute burnout. It can lead to depression, suicide, extreme anxiety and mood disorders, and a distorted perception of reality. In the exhaustion stage, the body is under a constant state of stress. Health and performance are adversely affected.

__**The Fight or Flight Response**__



Pupils dilate



Hearing becomes more acute, (hear every little sound)



Endorphins released to block pain in case of injury



Decrease saliva and mucus in mouth, digestion low priority (dry mouth)



Bronchi dilate to let more air flow into lungs



Perspiration increases to prevent overheating (sweaty palms)



Liver breaks glycogen down into glucose for immediate energy



Digestion halt (indigestion, butterflies, nausea)



Bladder relaxes to decrease body weight, make easier to flee (wet pants)



Blood vessels dilate to increase blood flow to muscles and brain



Blood vessels constrict to reduce blood flow to low priority organs, e.g., digestive system



Heart rate and blood pressure increase to get more nutrients through body



Adrenal glands increase epinephrine and norepinephrine which increase HR, BP, glucose



Muscle contract (contributes to muscle tension)

Oxidation & Reduction


During metabolic reactions, electrons can be transferred from the atoms of one molecule to the atoms of another molecule.



Oxidation is the loss of electrons from a molecule.  Reduction is the gain of electrons by a molecule.

\
Oxidation and reduction usually occur together as an exchange reaction.

27
New cards
Oxidation Can Create Free Radicals
In most exchange reactions, oxidation is immediately followed by reduction making newly stabilized atoms. In rare cases, an electron on the outmost shell will remain unpaired. This creates a highly unstable atom called a free radical.

What is Flow?
a type of intrinsic motivation that involves being fully focused on the situation or task. He describes flow as "being completely involved in an activity for its own sake. The ego falls away. Time flies. Every action, movement, and thought follows inevitably from the previous one, like playing jazz. Your whole being is involved, and you're using your skills to the utmost.”

What are two nervous system response?
**Somatic Branch** (voluntary) **-** An example of the somatic branch is the motor unit (nerve connected to a group of muscle fibers.)  When you want to move your muscle, the brain sends a message to the nerves.  The nerves fire the muscle fibers and the muscles contract.   This is a voluntary action.

\
**Autonomic Branch** (involuntary or automatic)- An example of the autonomic branch is when your heart races when you are stressed or anxious.  Your body is releasing epinephrine (adrenaline) which increases the speed of your heart rate.  The autonomic branch has two subdivisions– the parasympathetic and sympathetic. 

\
Two types of autonomic:

**Parasympathetic-** When you are resting and calm, the parasympathetic division is largely under control.  Parasympathetic control SLOWS things down.  Your breathing rate and heart rate are low, digestion is working, and muscles are relaxed. involuntary, e.g,. heart beat, sweat glands, reflexes

\
**Sympathetic**- When you perceive stress, the sympathetic division takes over.  Sympathetic control SPEEDS things up.  Heart rate and breathing accelerate, digestion is halted, muscles tense, sweat glands start to sweat, blood is diverted away from digestion and to the muscles and brain.  This is called the Fight or Flight response and is a basic survival mechanism. 
53
New cards
What is the Endocrine System Response: Hormones?
**Endorphins** are released by the pituitary gland.  They inhibit pain to prepare the body for injury. For example, a bungee jumper releases endorphins so it won’t hurt quite so bad if you hit the ground.

\
**Cortisol** is released by the adrenal glands used for energy. Extended exposure to cortisol decreases bone mineral density, immunity & sexual function and increases blood pressure and risk of CVD.

\
**Catecholamines** are also released by the adrenal glands.  They are **epinephrine** (also called adrenaline) and **norepinephrine** (also called noradrenaline).  They increase heart rate, blood pressure, muscle tension, blood flow to brain & muscles, and perspiration.

Consequences of High Blood Pressure

1. **Atherosclerosis**


1. High blood pressure damages endothelial cells and leads to atherosclerosis.


1. damage to endothelial cells lead to atherosclerosis

\

1. **Arteriosclerosis**


1. High blood pressure causes the walls of the artery to remodel over time. These thicker, harder walls are not able to vasodilate efficiently.


1. push the wall all with high blood pressure

\

1. **Heart Failure**


1. When pressure in the arteries is high, this can force the heart muscle to remodel in order to adapt.


1. problem: pressure goes high to low but it has to be higher to push back so the heart models
2. \*high BP lead to congestion, if pressure is high the blood starts to back up so the heart stretches out

\*if pressure puts demand on heart it remodels
65

How is Blood Pressure classified?
45% of Americans have hypertension

>130/ 80 mmHg \*need to know

\*if blood pressure is over that then it is hypertension
66
New cards
Hypertension “the silent killer”
Hypertension has been called a “Silent killer” because there are few or no symptoms. A person may have hypertension for years without even realized it. But during this time it damages vital organs and increases the risk of heart attack, congestive heart failure, stroke, kidney failure, and blindness.

When a person has high blood pressure, the heart must work harder than normal to force blood through the narrowed and stiffens arteries, straining both the heart and arteries.  Eventually the strained heart weakens and  tends to enlarge, which weakens it even more.

Angiogram:
Finding the Blockage



A coronary angiogram is a special X-ray test. It’s done to find out if coronary arteries are clogged, where and by how much. A catheter is inserted from a blood vessel near the groin and guided up to the coronary arteries.  A dye is injected into the coronary arteries and x-ray images are taken to evaluate atherosclerosis prognosis.

72
New cards
Surgery:  Coronary Bypass


Coronary artery bypass surgery reroutes the blood supply around a blocked section of the artery. During this procedure, surgeons remove healthy blood vessels from another part of the body, such as a leg or the chest wall. They then surgically attach the vessels to the diseased artery in such a way that the blood can flow around the blocked section. \n

After a bypass operation, it's especially important to watch diet and reduce the amount of fat and cholesterol you eat, since these substances cause the arteries to clog. Doctors also recommend following a routine of increased physical activity to strengthen the heart muscles.

73
New cards


**What is collateral circulation?**



Collateral circulation is a network of tiny blood vessels, and, under normal conditions, not open. When the coronary arteries narrow to the point that blood flow to the heart muscle is limited (coronary artery disease), collateral vessels may enlarge and become active. This allows blood to flow around the blocked artery to another artery nearby or to the same artery past the blockage, protecting the heart tissue from injury. (Source:  Cleveland Clinic)

74
New cards
Surgery: Balloon Angioplasty


Heart failure can develop when blockages in the coronary arteries restrict the blood supply to the heart muscle. Removing these blockages can improve overall heart function, which may improve or resolve heart failure symptoms. PCI is one type of procedure to reopen blocked vessels. The procedure is usually performed in the cardiac catherization lab. A small tube – a catheter – with a tiny deflated balloon on the end is inserted through an incision in the groin area and pushed through to the diseased artery. Then the balloon is inflated to push open the artery. The balloon is removed once the artery has been fully opened. A stent may be placed during the procedure to keep the blood vessel open. Although there's a slight risk of damage to the artery during this procedure, PCI usually improves the patient's condition.

Most early melanomas are asymmetrical: a line through the middle would not create matching halves. Common moles are round and symmetrical.     



\


**Border**



The borders of early melanomas are often uneven and may have scalloped or notched edges. Common moles have smoother, more even borders.  



  



**Color**



Common moles usually are a single shade of brown. Varied shades of brown, tan, or black are often the first sign of melanoma. As melanomas progress, the colors red, white and blue may appear.  



 



**Diameter**



Early melanomas tend to grow larger than common moles - generally to at least the size of a pencil eraser (about 6mm, or 1/4 inch, in diameter).



\


**Evolution (most important factor when considering diagnosis of melanoma)**



Melanomas tend to change over time

High-Fat Diets Increase Cancer Risk


Bile can be converted into carcinogenic secondary bile acids.



Since soluble fibers can bind bile, they can block this conversion.
91
New cards
Processed Meats Increase Cancer Risk


The preservative sodium nitrite can be converted into carcinogenic nitrosamines.

\
Certain nutrients, such as vitamins C and E, may block this conversion.
