The process in which, normally, the body cells break down molecules of glucose to
produce energy for the body - ANSWER:Cellular Metabolism also known as Cellular
Respirations
Two types of Cellular Metabolism - ANSWER:Aerobic, and Anaerobic
The primary fuel - ANSWER:Glucose
The primary catalyst for metabolism within a cell - ANSWER:Oxygen
The breakdown of molecules such as glucose through a series of reactions the
produce energy within the cells in the presence of oxygen - ANSWER:Aerobic
Metabolism
"with oxygen" - ANSWER:Aerobic
When glucose crosses the cell membrane, it is broke down into pyruvic acid. This
process is known as - ANSWER:Glycolysis
ATP - ANSWER:adenosine triphosphate
An energy source that is required by the cells to carry out certain functions, such as
contraction of the muscles. - ANSWER:Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)
Other by-products of aerobic metabolism include - ANSWER:heat, carbon dioxide,
and water
The heat is produced to (in aerobic metabolism) - ANSWER:Maintain a normal body
core temperature
An increase in metabolism results in an increase the respiratory rate to eliminate the
extra _______ ________. Which is transported in the blood and blown off in the
exhalation phase of normal respiration ( in aerobic metabolism) - ANSWER:Carbon
Dioxide
The ________ produced is reabsorbed and used within the body or excreted. ( in
aerobic metabolism) - ANSWER:Water
The breakdown of molecules in the cells without the presence of oxygen -
ANSWER:Anaerobic Metabolism
"without oxygen" - ANSWER:Anaerobic
, Without the availability of oxygen, however, the pyruvic acid is not able to enter the
next phase of metabolism and is converted to _______ _________. (in anaerobic
metabolism) - ANSWER:Lactic acid
By-products of anaerobic metabolism - ANSWER:Lactic acid, and a small amount of
ATP
If the acid is allowed to accumulate, it produces an ________ environment which
may disturb its function and stability. (in anaerobic metabolism) - ANSWER:Acidic
________ _________ _________inactivate enzyme functions, disrupt cell
membranes, and ultimately lead to cell death. (in anaerobic metabolism) -
ANSWER:High Acid Levels
An inadequate delivery of oxygen and glucose cells will result in very little _______
__________. - ANSWER:Energy Production
ions (electrically charged molecule) - ANSWER:Sodium and Potassium
Na - ANSWER:Sodium
a positively charged ion that is found primarily in the fluid outside the cell -
ANSWER:Sodium
K+ - ANSWER:Potassium
positively charged and considered the primary intracellular ion. - ANSWER:Potassium
Most body cells, to perform their special functions such as muscle contraction and
nerve impulse transmission, require an alternating movement of ___________ out of
the cells and ________ into the cells - ANSWER:Sodium, Potassium
The delivery of oxygen, glucose, and other substances to the cells and the
elimination of waste products from the cells. - ANSWER:Perfusion
The components of the delivery and removal system for adequate perfusion are -
ANSWER:1. Composition of ambient air
2. Patent airway
3. Mechanics of ventilation
4. Regulation of ventilation
5. Ventilation/perfusion ratio
6. Transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide by the blood
7. Blood volume
8. Pump function of the myocardium
9. Systemic vascular resistance
10. Microcirculation
