Exercise Physiology Test 1

Front 1

Homeostasis

Back 1

the maintenance of a
constant internal environment.

Front 2

steady state

Back 2

describes the tendency
of a control system to achieve a
balance between an environmental
demand and the response of a physiological system to meet that demand
to allow the tissue (body) to function
over a period of time.

Front 3

Metabolism

Back 3

the total of all cellular
reactions that occur in cells and
includes chemical pathways that
result in the synthesis of molecules
(anabolic reactions) as well as the
breakdown of molecules (catabolic
reactions).

Front 4

Endergonic Reaction

Back 4

energy requiring reactions

Front 5

Exergonic Reaction

Back 5

chemical reactions that release energy.

Front 6

ATP-PC System

Back 6

term used to describe
the metabolic pathway involving
muscle stores of ATP and the use of
phosphocreatine to rephosphorylate
ADP. This pathway is used at the
onset of exercise and during short term,
