What are four cellular-level disruptions that lead to a decrease in ATP?
✓ hypoxia, nutritional problems, changes in the balance of electrolytes, other solutes, and
acid / base balance, and changes in fluid distribution.
What are two main sequela from hypoxia?
✓ When you are hypoxic, you are using only anerobic glycolysis for energy. This causes: 1.)
deficiency of ATP for cellular functions (only 2 ATP are created) and 2. acidosis - an
altered acid / base balance due to the accumulation of pyruvic acic.
What is the normal
pH range of the blood?
✓ 7.35 - 7.45. The byproducts of the body's normal metabolic activities are slightly more
acidic than alkaline. To counteract that tendency, the body likes to keep a very narrow
and slightly alkaline pH range in the blood. Know this fact "now and forever".
Two key nutritional needs of cells
✓ glucose (begins the cellular metabolic pathway that leads to ATP formation) and vitamins
and other substances (which form the support staff for the metabolic pathway).

What are the two functions of insulin?
✓ 1.) to bring glucose from the blood to the cells where it is used to create energy.
✓ 2.) to store excess glucose in the liver and skeletal muscles as glycogen.
What is glycogen?
✓ Excess glucose that you eat, but don't need for immediate energy, is created and stored
as glycogen in the liver and skeletal muscles for later use.
What is glycogenesis?
✓ The process of changing un-needed glucose into glycogen.
What is hypoglycemia?
✓ A state of low blood sugar. It typically exists when you don't eat and the availability of
glucose in your blood is less than what your cells' energy needs are.
What counterregulatory hormones are released or triggered when you are hypoglycemic?
✓ epinephrine, cortisol, growth hormone, glucagon. All of these have certain
functions...which in the end prompt you to eat.
What is glycogenolysis?
✓ The conversion of glycogen to glucose for use in the cells of the body. AKA...back-up plan
