Movement and Physiology, Dr. P. Bryant Chase,FSU
Physiology - ANS-Science of biological function
Why study physiology? - ANS-understand ourselves
other species
understand similarities/ adaptations
Homeostasis - ANS-Maintaining constant internal environment with changes in activity
Homeostatic mechanisms - ANS-body temperature, blood glucose concentration, pH
Pathophysiology - ANS-changes in physiology associated with disease
Why study pathophysiology? - ANS-Better assist relatives, better understand normal physiology,
economic
What type of tissue is blood? - ANS-Connective
Composition of blood - ANS-Plasma, WBC and platelets, RBC
Platelets - ANS-cell fragments, thrombocytes
Plasma - ANS-water, electrolytes, molecules
RBC - ANS-how much oxygen your blood can carry, erythocyles
Hematocrit - ANS-percent of RBC in blood sample
WBC - ANS-protect against infections, leukocytes
Shape of RBC - ANS-biconcave shape, cytoskeleton
Biconcave shape - ANS-short diffusion distance for oxygen
RBC is bound to... - ANS-hemoglobin; no nucleus so there is more room for HB
Sir A.V Hill- cooperative binding - ANS-When one oxygen binds to HB it increases the chance
that other oxygen molecules will bind to the other three subunits
, Myoglobin - ANS-serves as a storage place to red muscle
Where do RBC come from? - ANS-stem cells in the red marrow
Erythropoeitin (EPO) - ANS-Control RBC production, located in the kidneys
How do steroids work? - ANS-They affect the EPO and create extra RBC capacity; blood doping
Stem Cells - ANS-Become mostly any type of cell
What happens when athletes train at a higher elevation? - ANS-Increase in hematocrit
How many binding site does HB have for oxygen? - ANS-4 binding sites
Where does sickle cell disease come from? - ANS-genetically inherited
What is sickle cell disease? - ANS-deformed RBC, makes it hard for RBC to travel through small
blood vessels
Sickle cell anemia - ANS-reduced delivery of oxygen due to blood vessel blockage (occlusion)
Where do platelets come from? - ANS-Produced by WBC
What do platelets do? - ANS-Clotting
Blood plasma is mostly _______ - ANS-water
Low density lipoprotein (LDL) - ANS-Bad cholesterol
High Density lipoprotein (HDL) - ANS-Good cholesterol
Blood proteins - ANS-albumin, globulin, fibrinogen
Lipids (fat) - ANS-used by every cells to make parts of the cell and as a source of metabolic
energy
Coagulation - ANS-blood clotting
What are platelet plugs? - ANS-beginning process of clotting; very weak
How does a clot get stronger? - ANS-By fibrinogen shortening to create fibrin
What are antibodies? - ANS-Blood protein component of the immune system found in blood
plasma
