    Study Notes

    Renin-Angiotensin System

    • Kidneys release renin, an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of angiotensinogen into angiotensin I.
    • Angiotensin I is then converted into angiotensin II by the enzyme angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE).
    • Angiotensin II plays a critical role in regulating fluid balance, electrolyte balance, and blood pressure.

    Muscle Fiber Types

    • Type I Fibers: Slow-twitch, oxidative fibers used primarily for endurance activities like cycling or marathons.
    • Type II Fibers:
      • IIa (Fast-Twitch, Oxidative, Glycolytic): Best suited for middle-distance activities.
      • IIx (Fast-Twitch, Glycolytic): Specialized for short bursts of power and individual movements lasting 10-20 seconds.

    Energy Transfer Systems

    • Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) is broken down by ATPase, critical for energy transfer in muscle contraction.
    • Phosphagen system utilizes creatine phosphate (PCr) for immediate ATP production; effective for powerful movements lasting 3-15 seconds and does not require oxygen.
    • Glycolysis converts glucose into pyruvate, supporting energy needs during physical activity.

    Hormonal Regulation of Glucose

    • Insulin binding on cell surfaces brings glut-4 transporters to the cell membrane, facilitating glucose uptake.
    • Glucagon also prompts glut-4 surface expression, enhancing glucose availability.
    • During exercise, insulin levels decrease to prevent unsafe drops in blood glucose levels.

    Lipid Breakdown and Hormonal Effects

    • Cortisol and growth hormone influence lipid breakdown, playing a role in regulating blood glucose levels during exercise.
    • These hormones facilitate mobilization of fat stores, providing substrate for energy production when glucose levels fluctuate.
