Where does energy for our cells come from?
ATP
What enzyme splits the terminal phosphate from ATP?
ATPase
What is the % of energy released that is lost to heat?
70%
What are the 3 mechanisms for the production of new ATP?
What does creatine phosphate enable?
Glycolysis to be initiated
What does creatine phosphate mechanism play a role in?
Replenishes ATP for immediate muscle contractions
What does glycolysis involve?
The breakdown of glucose molecules
How is glycolysis accomplished?
Glycolytic enzymes
Why is glycolysis not an optimal producer of ATP?
Only produces small amounts of ATP, does not need oxygen
How does oxidative respiration work?
Breaks down fuel with the aid of oxygen
Which type of ATP synthesis produces an abundant ATP supply for extended periods?
Oxidative respiration
What is the average metabolic resting rate for adults?
About 3.5 mL/min/kg
What parts of the body dominate energy useage?
Muscles, heart, brain, liver, and kidneys
What is the AV-O2 difference?
Difference between arterial and venous oxygen concentrations
What does the AV-O2 difference depend on?
Carrying capacity of oxygen by the blood and the oxidative potential of mitochondria
What is cardiac output?
Oxygen delivery
What does the Fick equation determine?
Rate of oxygen uptake
What is the relationship during submaximal exercise between cardiac output and oxygen uptake
Linear
What happens to the arteriovenous oxygen difference as exercise intensity increases?
The difference widens
When are all types of energy production available?
They are all always available
What does the EEG measure?
The activity of the brain through the scalp
What is the hertz for beta waves?
> 13 (14-30)
What is the hertz for alpha waves?
8-13
What is the hertz for theta waves?
4-7.5
