Document Summary
Accuracy when studying for exams and midterms. Rugby: needs strength, anaerobic, and aerobic. Useful terms: glycolysis: the breakdown of glucose to pyruvic acid, glycogenolysis: the breakdown of glycogen to glucose. Glocuose levels in blood are tightly controlled. Any change will stimulate a sresponse in which glucose concentrations will maintain at the same level. Pancreas: has beta cells which produce insulin, which reduces glucose levels in the blood stream. Insulin activates the carriers between the blood and the muscle cells. If glucose levels are low, hormone glucagon is released into the blood stream, stimulating the release of glucose from the liver: diabetes. 2 types type 1 where the pancreas is unable to secrete insulin, unable to transport glucose into the muscle cells. We can go from pyruvate to lactate, as long as we have an enzyme for this. We can accerlate the glycolytic pathway, so that it gives us energy faster than then the etc.
