Brachial Plexus and Cori Cycle Quiz

A metabolic process where lactate produced in muscles is converted back to glucose in the liver.

Pyruvate, during strenuous activity, is converted to lactate in muscles.

The liver converts lactate back into glucose via gluconeogenesis.

To replenish glucose supply in muscles during intense exercise.

Build-up of lactate in muscles during high-intensity activities.

The metabolic pathway where lactate produced during exercise is converted back to glucose in the liver.

A molecule that reduces hemoglobin's affinity for oxygen, allowing easier oxygen release to tissues.

A process in red blood cells (RBCs) that converts 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate into 2,3-BPG.

Oxygen inhibits glycolysis.

High glucose/fructose inhibits respiration.

A cluster of lymph nodes located in the armpit, surrounded by fatty tissue. They play a crucial role in filtering lymph fluid and fighting infections in the upper limb.

A group of lymph nodes located near the chest muscles, specifically within the axilla. They filter lymph fluid from the breast and chest wall, contributing to immune defense.

Lymph nodes situated near the shoulder blade, within the axilla. They filter lymph from the back and upper arm.

A vast network of nerves that branches out from the neck and extends into the arm, responsible for controlling movement and sensation in the upper limb.

These terms describe the organizational structure of the brachial plexus, starting with the nerve roots in the neck, branching into trunks, then divisions, cords, and finally into individual nerves that innervate specific parts of the arm.
