We have the ability to break down organic compounds and, as a result, transfer the energy from the bonds of those compounds into the manufacture of tiny, high energy compounds (e.g., ATP) that can be used for a wide variety of reactions in a cell. In this post, you will demonstrate an understanding of how energy is released from organic compounds.

Task

Discuss the various way in which diet and physical fitness are influenced by the processes of cell respiration.

 

Significant differences between the two major parties

 

Some people argue that there are no significant differences between the two major parties. Backing up your perspective with appropriate sources, what are the major differences and similarities in the views of the Democratic and Republican parties (e.g., this review of party platforms, 1856-2016 www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/politics/2016-election/conventions/party-platform-evolution/)? What are the primary areas of difference between contemporary Democrats and Republicans? (e.g., taxes, abortion, guns, LGBTQ rights, etc.) How are the two parties similar? What are the consequences of these patterns for voters and election outcomes? For policy outcomes?

Endocrine & Immune Systems

 

Respond to the following prompts and submit your completed worksheet in Canvas.

1. Discuss how hormones are released and transported. What is pulpability?

 

2. Discuss the relationship of exercise with the following hormones:
a. Growth Hormone (GH):

b. Beta-endorphin:

c. Testosterone:

d. Estrogens:

e. Insulin-like growth factors (IGFs):

f. Epinephrine (aka Adrenaline):

3. Describe hormonal regulation as it applies to fluid balance during exercise.

 

4. Discuss how exercise plays a role in Diabetes management and prevention in terms regard to insulin.

5. You are a trainer working with a client that is in a building phase involving high volumes of weight training. Discuss how the hormones increased with this type of training would influence the muscle building processes. How might this impact metabolic rate?

 

6. Outline the responses of exercise on immune function

 

7. Outline the chronic adaptations to exercise regarding immune function.

 

 

8. Discuss some common ways in which immune response can be lowered in athletes (your answer should include overtraining and 2-3 other common habits athletes may have that could lessen immune responses).

Psychological Disorders

 

Choose a psychological disorder from the DSM-V.

Summarize the symptoms of the disorder.
What type of therapy do you believe would be the most successful in treating this type of disorder? Support your opinion with research evidence.
Locate a current events or recent journal article on the disorder and share the key points (findings) with your classmates.
