Description



Cell membrane: active and passive transport, resting membrane potential,
membrane action potential. Circulatory system: blood vessels, systemic
circulation, venous, microcirculation, immune system. Respiration: ventilation,
gas exchange, oxigen-hemoglobin dissociation curve, alveolar ventilation. Food
and nutrition: chemical and mechanical digestion, peristalsis, absorption,
digestive enzimes and hormones, digestive glands. Exertion: homeostasis and
kidney excretion, acid-base homeostasis, blood pressure regulation, glomerular
filtration, reabsorption and secretion among the nephron. Nervous system:
central and peripheral nervous system (sensory and motor division), neurons,
somatic and autonomic nervous system (sympathetic and parasympathetic),
synapses, neural circuit and systems, reflexes, the sensory system. Motoric
system: type of muscles, neuro muscular synapses, actin and myosin filament,
muscle contraction, neurotransmitters, hypertrophy, atrophy, sarcopenia, energy
for muscle contraction Acid-base homeostasis: regulation of pH Endocrine system:
Endocrine organs and hormones: hypothalamus, hypophysis, thyroid, digestion
system, kidney, adrenal glands, calcium regulation, reproductive hormones.
Reproductive system: Male and female reproductive system (organs, hormones
regulation), sexual reproduction, puberty pregnancy, delivery. Skeletal muscle
during exercise: Blood flow, thermoregulation, glucose uptake and nutrition,
secretion of cytokines – miokines.
