    energy from glycolysis‚ still using some energy from ATP-PC. If given the appropriate amount of time to recover‚ the body would then begin to use ATP-PC for its energy. Adaptations that may occur in the glycolysis system would be the increase in glycogen phosphorylase‚ phosphofructokinase and lactate dehydrogenase. Increases in the level of enzymes can be the result of endurance training and weight training. These enzymes can have a positive impact on performance‚ but many factors and variables can

    Islets of Langerhans release glucagons when glucose levels are low. Glucagons promote the conversion of glycogen into glucose; the lack of glucose can then be compensated for by the new supply of glucose brought about from glucagons. The beta cells of the Islets of Langerhans release insulin when the levels of glucose in the blood is high. Insulin promotes the conversion of glucose into glycogen and this can be stored in the liver for later use. Fight or flight In emergencies adrenaline is released

Homeostasis is crucial for normal cellular function. Acid-base homeostasis is the part of human homeostasis and refers to the balance between the production and elimination of H+ hydrogen ions (pH) within the body fluids (William‚ Simpkins‚ 2001‚ p.236).

    blood. When the digestive system absorbs excess sugar in the form of glucose‚ the liver may take some of this energy and convert it into a highly compact carbohydrate called glycogen. This allows the liver to store excess sugar when it has been gone. During periods in which the digestive system is not absorbing sugar‚ the glycogen can be converted back into glucose and used to keep blood sugar levels high--even during times of hunger. PANCREAS It is part of the digestive system and produces important

    system. Glycogen which is stored in your muscles is broken down into glucose to be used as an energy source for the contractions in the muscles. ATP plays a role in this system as well as it converts the glycogen into glucose. This specific energy system is an example of anaerobic respiration as it does not require oxygen like the creatine phosphate system. When the ATP-PCr system fades after 10 seconds‚ the lactic acid system is introduced. Anaerobic glycolysis then occurs which sees glycogen being

    malnutrition are the main causes of fever. FACTORS AFFECTING NUTRITION Factors affecting nutrition during fever are as follows: *Increase in temperature during fever increases the rate of metabolism in the body. * Energy is stored as glycogen in the body. Amount of glycogen is gradually depleted in fever. *Loss of tissues in fever leads to increased demand of proteins. * Acute deficiency of water & minerals is caused in fever due to excessive sweating and urination. * Digestion is disturbed in

    releases insulin. Insulin allows glucose to be taken into the cells of your body where it is used for energy. It also allows glucose to be converted to glycogen which is stored in the liver and muscles. When your blood sugar levels fall below the ideal level your pancreas releases another hormone called glucagon. Glucagon makes your liver break down glycogen‚ converting it back into glucose which can be used by the cells for
