    Unit 5 Outcome 2 – Energy Metabolism Booklet The Respiratory System The respiratory system consists of the nose, mouth, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi and lungs. These provide a passageway to allow air in and out of the body. Every cell in the body requires oxygen to survive. The primary function of the respiratory system is the exchange of gases. The respiratory system allows oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange, this is necessary to sustain life. During the process of breathing air is inhaled

    Explain The Physiology Of Two Named Body Systems In Relation To Energy Metabolism In The Body I am going to explain the physiology of the respiratory and cardiovascular system in relation to the energy metabolism in the body. Energy metabolism is where the nutrients oxygen and glucose are took in and delivered the organs. Energy is needed in order for our body to be able to function. Energy helps break down molecules and to build new molecules. The cardiovascular system consists of the heart,

    Cardiac Substrate Metabolism: Cardiac tissue requires a continuous supply of oxygen and substrates to rapidly produce energy that is largely used for maintaining contractile function. Cardiac myocytes efficiently extract 65-70% of oxygen at rest and 80-85% during exertion from the blood [1]. During normoxia when oxygen is not limiting cardiac myocytes derive > 90% of their energy through oxidative phosphorylation in the mitochondria, and the remainder from glycolysis [2, 3]. In a normal heart, 60-90%

    with Enhanced Metabolism We all know that the reason to consume food is for gaining energy so that we can perform our daily activities with proper strength. Whatever we eat transforms into enzymes and that is essential for the functioning of the body. In case your body is not burning good amount of calories, then whatever you consume will get accumulated and this will result in obesity. The only way by which you can burn good amount of calories daily is to enhance your metabolism. This is the only

    Energy metabolism is a process that is essential in the maintenance of life and has obvious roles with regards to sporting/exercise performance. The body can produce energy both aerobically and anaerobically and the regulatory mechanisms underlying these pathways of energy modulation are complex (40). Under aerobic conditions the Krebs cycle is crucial for energy production, the hydrogen’s removed during the cycle are transferred to the electron transport chain and the energy released during electron

    Animal metabolism consists of the utilization of nutrients absorbed from the digestive tract and their catabolism as fuel for energy or their conversion into substances of the body. Metabolism is a continuous process because the molecules and even most cells of the body have brief lifetimes and are constantly replaced, while tissue as a whole maintains its characteristic structure. This constant rebuilding process without a net change in the amount of a cell constituent is known as dynamic equilibrium

    Impossible T3 and T4 – Ghost Metabolism Metabolism is a cellular level processes that involves the release (catabolism) and consumption (anabolism) of energy. The body releases energy when it breaks down organic matter via cellular respiration and consumes energy to build cell building-blocks such as nucleic acid and proteins. For some time now, your body metabolism hasn’t been as effective as it should be. Your body virtually runs on a hair-width fraction of its full metabolism potential. It just seems
