Document Summary

Anatomy 1107: lecture 1 feb 10th; regulation of metabolism & body temperature. Carbohydrate metabolism: glycogenolysis: glycogen splits when blood glucose levels drop. Bmr: is the rate of energy expended by the body per unit time, under controlled basal conditions. The major determining factor is the surface of our body. (someone who is tall. Influenced by many things: age, gender, hormones, etc. and than has a greater sa than someone who is shorter). They increase catabolism of fat stores: temperature: fever; increases metabolic rate, thyroid hormones: increase oxygen consumption, activate na/ k pump. Uses up a lot of atp, and therefore these cells have to make more atp, causing the. Mr to increase, as well as weight loss, and intolerance to heat. Have to balance heat production with heat loss. 4 mechanisms of heat exchange: radiation: loss of heat from our body by infrared waves.
