The lengthening of a muscle during contraction is:
An eccentric contraction
The alpha motor unit is part of the:
Somatic division of the Peripheral NS.
Glycogen depletion during exercise:
results in reduced blood glucose levels once depleted, compromising the individual's ability to perform exercise(hitting the wall)
Define: Lactate threshold:
if you exercise at any higher intensity, especially if your not regularly exercising, your body won't be able to filter out lactate quick enough and you'll begin to build up lactic acid.
What happens to lactate threshold with exercise training?
It increases and would require a very intense bout of exercise to push your body over the threshold again.
What factors dictate a cells response to a hormone?
How much of that specific hormone is in the blood and how many receptors for that hormone are on the cell.
What are two main mechanisms of gains in muscle strength with exercise training?
There is a change in neural function, which is an increase in the sensitivity of the neurons that deal directly and indirectly with the muscle fibers. This makes it more efficient.

The growth of muscle fibers(fiber hypertrophy), it increases amount of myosin/actin binding sites thus giving us more muscle strength
Be able to draw a graphical representation of an action potential.
...
Describe two hormone systems that monitor and regulate fluid levels with exercise: (include hormone glands of origin & what tissues are targeted for retention of water w/ exercise. What are the signals for release and mechanism of action?
...
What is the relationship between substrate utilization and the intensity of exercise?
The higher the VO2 max, the better adapted your body is to going at a faster pace for a longer time by using oxidation and type 1 fibers for energy....add more
How is this relationship affected by endurance training?
endurance exercise increases VO2max, the amount of type 1 fibers, and allows you to preserve your glucose for when you really need it. You also become a better butter burner.
How is this relationship affected by an approaching hungry lion?
It allows you to use the glucose so you can run from the lion and climb a tree.
A general name for enzymes that phosphorylate their substrates is:
Kinases
A general name for enzymes that dephosphorylate their substrates is:
ATPase, phosphotase
How does ADH conserve water?
exercise triggers loss of water from blood plasma due to sweating, this causes an increase in hemoconcentration and blood osmolarity. The increased blood osmolarity stimulates osmoreceptors in hypothalamus, which then stimulates the posterior pituitary gland to release ADH into the blood. This acts on the kidneys, increasing the reabsorption of water, therefore increasing plasma volume & decreasing blood osmolarity.
Renin-Angiotensin mechanism:
1. exercise causes reduced plasma volume and blood flow to the kidneys due to sweating.
2. the reduced renal blood flow stimulates Renin to be released from kidneys. It then forms Angiotensin 1 which is converted to Angiotensin 2.
3. Angiotensin 2 then tells the adrenal cortex to release aldosterone.
4. Aldosterone increases Na and H2O reabsorption causing increase in plasma volume and decrease in urine output
Define: Metabolic Water
The amount of water produced in the body by the oxidation of the foods digested.
Difference between Serum and Plasma:
Plasma is the part of blood that still contains the blood-clotting factors such as fibrinogen.

Serum is the part of plasma left over once clotting factors like fibrinogen is removed.
How can you calculate an RER value over 1.0?
At high levels of exercise, your expiring the amt of CO2 equivalent to how much O2 your taking in, but in addition the Bicarb buffer system is transforming excess H atoms that are making the muscles acidic into CO2 so that your muscles don't get too high a lvl of pH
One of the greatest determinants for the increase in VO2 max with aerobic training is:
Stroke volume
Neural control of the heart rate up to 100 bpm is via the:
parasympathetic NS
maximal filling of the ventricular chambers of the heart occurs:
At the point of EDV
The definition of an artery is:
A blood vessel that always goes AWAY from the heart.
The increase in cardiac output during exercise is accompanied by:
Less total peripheral resistance
The hematocrit
is the ratio of formed elements to the total blood volume.
The anaerobic threshold is:
is indicative of when expiratory ventilation for a given VO2 is elevated.
As one becomes more aerobically fit
It results in a reduction of RER for any given submaximal exercise.
An increase in max performance without an increase in VO2 may be a sign of:
increasing the lactate threshold
For the frank-starling mechanism of cardiac output to be effective during exercise:
There must be an improvement in venous return.
Hyperventilation during exercise leads to all but one of the following:
Hyperventilation will not cause Elevated O2 saturation in the blood
Exercising in a hot environment:
compromises VO2 max due to alterations in blood flow distribution.
The difference in the amount of blood diastole to systole at the ventricle is known as:
Stroke volume
Typically the largest component of whole blood is:
Plasma (55%)
Venous return in the periphery is accentuated during exercise by the
muscle pump
____ is the process of delivering oxygen and removing carbon dioxide from the tissues
respiration
the point at which an increase in breathing exceeds your metabolic need/demand for O2 delivery is called:
Hyperventilation
A term used to describe a shortness of breath:
Dyspnea
A breathing technique to trap and pressurize air in the lungs to allow the exertion of greater force is known as the:
Valsalva maneuver
Effects of resistance exercise training on left and right ventricle:
LV: you would see an increase in wal thickness and chamber volume due to increasing SV.
RV: no increase in wall thickness because theres no long term duration of stress being placed on the heart, there is a increase in chamber volume due to increase in SV.
Effects of Long distance endurance exercise training on left and right ventricle:
LV: Big increase in wall thickness, and increase in chamber volume due to increase in SV.
RV: no increase in wall thickness. There is increase in chamber volume due to increasing SV.
Effects of spring training on Left and right ventricles:
LV: No significant increase in wall thickness, yes there is an increase in chamber volume.
RV: No increase in wall thickness, yes theres an increase in chamber volume.
How does exercise affect Hemoglobin saturation at the lung compared to when your at rest:
Remains the same at about 95-97%, we allow our blood enough time to get all of our Alveoli saturated with blood regardless of how hard we're training. Unless we're elite athlete or COPD patient.
How does exercise affect Hemoglobin saturation at the tissues compared to when your at rest:
There is less due to the exercise causing an increase in muscle blood flow and overtime increasing capillary density as well. This in turn increases transit time as well.
How does exercise affect skin blood flow compared to when your at rest:
if your a runner or cyclist primarily using your legs, the blood flow will be shunted away from tissues that you don't use as much during those events, in order to aid those muscles being strained.
How does exercise affect mean arterial pressure compared to when your at rest:
there is an increase in mean arterial pressure during exercise, but training overtime will decrease your MAP. Its calculated using your EDV which is fairly constant and your HR which will decrease as you become more fit.
How does exercise affect the difference of O2 partial pressures in the pulmonary artery and vein compared to when your at rest:
There is less O2 in the pulmonary artery with exercise due to your muscles extracting more O2 before the blood returns to the heart. The pulmonary vein will remain the same because no matter how hard your working, the hemoglobin are still saturated at the same % in the lungs before returning to the heart via the pulmonary vein.
