ExPhys

Excitation contraction coupling - 6 step process \n  Anatomy of the muscle – layers \n o Function of sarcomere – jobs of myosin, actin, titin \n  Type I, Type IIa, Type IIx muscle fibers and their effect on exercise – \n o peak tension, \n o effects of ATPase, \n o SR, \n o Motor units \n  ATP-PCr – \n o ATP yield, \n o duration of exercise, \n o enzymes \n  Glycolytic system \n o - ATP yield for both glucose and glycogen, \n o duration of exercise, \n o what does it start with, \n o what is the end result of anaerobic glycolysis? \n o pros/cons, enzymes, \n o byproducts \n  Oxidative – \n o ATP yield of glucose, \n o glycogen, \n o duration of exercise, \n o enzymes, \n o what is the end product of aerobic glycolysis \n o Gylcolysis, \n o Krebs Cycle, \n o Electron Transport Chain \n  Beta Oxidation \n  Generating an action potential – \n o 6 step process, \n o know the membrane potentials, \n o resting membrane potential, \n o action potential threshold, \n o depolarization, \n o hyperpolarization, \n o movement of NA+ and K+ ions. \n o DRAWING IT MAY HELP \n  Muscle spindles vs golgi tendon organs – \n o location, \n o what are their functions \n  Structure and function of a neuron

 \n Transmission of an action potential \n o Neuron to neuron and neuron to muscle \n  Myelin \n  Neurotransmitters \n  Central Nervous System – \n o Brain vs Spinal Cord \n  Peripheral Nervous System \n o The afferent vs efferent \n  Efferent -> somatic vs autonomic \n  Autonomic -> sympathetic vs parasympathetic \n  Steroid vs non-steroid hormones \n  Hormones active during energy metabolism \n o Where are they released from, \n o what does it target, \n o its function, \n o response to exercise \n  Hormones active in fluid and electrolyte balance \n o Where are they released from, \n o what does it target, \n o its function, \n o response to exercise \n o Osmolality \n  Hormonal regulation of Caloric Intake \n o Where are they released from, \n o what does it target, \n o its function, \n o response to exercise
