blocking agent. Beta receptors are part of the sympathetic nervous system and are found on cells of the heart‚ smooth muscles‚ in airways‚ arteries and kidneys. Associated with stress response‚ they are stimulated by epinephrine. Beta blockers interfere with the binding of epinephrine at the receptors. Metoprolol works by inhibiting the response to adrenergic stimuli by blocking beta one adrenergic receptors within the myocardium. (Hoffman‚ Jones Reeder‚ & Rodgers‚ 2000) Conduction is slowed

Glucose is used as an energy source only during the first 20 minutes of activity as long as the intensity is not very high. It takes about 20 minutes of continuous activity for fatty acids to build up in the blood enough to be used as energy (after epinephrine signals fat cells to break down triglycerides to release fatty acids into the blood). Fat can only contribute to energy if the person is taking in plenty of oxygen- as in lower intensity activity; therefore fat will contribute much less to intense

The Endocrine System FOCUS: The endocrine system is one of the major regulatory systems in the body‚ along with the nervous system. However‚ the endocrine system responds more slowly‚ and has a longer-lasting‚ more general effect on the body than the nervous system. Endocrine tissues internally produce hormones which are released into the blood‚ where they are carried to target tissue and produce a response. Some hormones bind to receptors on the surface of the cell membrane‚ producing permeability

Regulation of Blood Pressure and Blood Volume One way the body regulates blood pressure and blood volume is through the body’s use of baroreceptors‚ a mechanoreceptor of the nervous system. If there were low arterial blood pressure‚ the baroreceptors in one’s blood vessels could detect this. One’s baroreceptors in the aorta and carotid sinus of the cardiac system are constantly monitoring blood pressure. They send messages containing any changes through the central nervous system to the medulla oblongata
