What can stored triglycerides be broken into when energy is needed? -
{✔✔RESOLUTION RESULT VERIFIED ✔✔}-Free fatty acids and glycerol.


What are the body's two functional metabolic states? - {✔✔RESOLUTION
RESULT VERIFIED ✔✔}Absorptive state and postabsorptive state.



Define the absorptive state. - {✔✔RESOLUTION RESULT VERIFIED ✔✔}-A
period after eating when digestion/absorption occurs and anabolism dominates.


What happens to ingested simple carbohydrates during the absorptive state? -
{✔✔RESOLUTION RESULT VERIFIED ✔✔}-Converted in the liver to glucose,
then released for fuel or stored as glycogen.


What happens to ingested fats and proteins during the absorptive state? -
{✔✔RESOLUTION RESULT VERIFIED ✔✔}-They are immediately used for
energy/building blocks or stored.

,Define the postabsorptive state. - {✔✔RESOLUTION RESULT VERIFIED ✔✔}-A
period several hours after eating when catabolism dominates to supply energy.


What is the primary energy source early in the postabsorptive state? -
{✔✔RESOLUTION RESULT VERIFIED ✔✔}-Glycogen stores in liver and
skeletal muscle.


Why can't glycogen alone meet energy needs if postabsorptive state persists? -
{✔✔RESOLUTION RESULT VERIFIED ✔✔}-Glycogen stores are limited and
become depleted over time.


What process breaks down triglycerides during prolonged postabsorptive state? -
{✔✔RESOLUTION RESULT VERIFIED ✔✔}-Lipolysis.


What is glycerol and where does it come from? - {✔✔RESOLUTION RESULT
VERIFIED ✔✔}-The backbone component of triglycerides released when
triglycerides are broken down.



What can glycerol be converted into and where? - {✔✔RESOLUTION RESULT
VERIFIED ✔✔}-
Converted to glucose by the liver.


What is lactic acid and how is it related to metabolism here? -
{✔✔RESOLUTION RESULT VERIFIED ✔✔}-Lactic acid can be formed by
glycolysis and can be converted to glucose by the liver.

Endocrine System - Quizlet Q Cards - {✔✔RESOLUTION RESULT VERIFIED
✔✔}-


What makes the endocrine system different from other physiological systems? -
{✔✔RESOLUTION RESULT VERIFIED ✔✔}-It is composed of many separate
glands dispersed throughout the body rather than one connected structure.


How do endocrine glands function as a coordinated system? -
{✔✔RESOLUTION RESULT VERIFIED ✔✔}-They all secrete hormones that
interact functionally to regulate body processes.



What is the main role of the endocrine system? - {✔✔RESOLUTION RESULT
VERIFIED ✔✔}-It regulates body functions using hormones to maintain
homeostasis and control long-term processes.


How do hormones reach their target tissues? - {✔✔RESOLUTION RESULT
VERIFIED ✔✔}-They are secreted directly into the bloodstream and travel to
distant target cells.

, Six Major Functions of the Endocrine System - {✔✔RESOLUTION RESULT
VERIFIED ✔✔}-


What is the first major function of the endocrine system? -
{✔✔RESOLUTION RESULT VERIFIED ✔✔}-Maintaining a constant internal
environment by regulating metabolism and water/electrolyte balance.



What is the endocrine system's role in stress? - {✔✔RESOLUTION RESULT
VERIFIED ✔✔}-It produces adaptive stress responses.


How does the endocrine system affect growth and development? -
{✔✔RESOLUTION RESULT VERIFIED ✔✔}-It regulates cell growth, tissue
development, and maturation.


How does the endocrine system regulate reproduction? -
{✔✔RESOLUTION RESULT VERIFIED ✔✔}-It controls sexual development,
gamete production, and reproductive cycles.


How does the endocrine system contribute to red blood cell production? -
{✔✔RESOLUTION RESULT VERIFIED ✔✔}-It regulates hormones that
stimulate red blood cell formation.


How does the endocrine system integrate with the autonomic nervous system? -
{✔✔RESOLUTION RESULT VERIFIED ✔✔}-It helps regulate circulation and
digestive functions.
