Ex Phys: Nutrition Review

Exam Tuesday:

What is the form of glucose stored in the body and where is it stored?
In what form are lipids transported in the blood?
Why are dietary supplements for amino acids generally not recommended?
LDL and HDL role in cholesterol levels
Benefits of antioxidants in your diet
Benefits to you/an athlete of having knowledge on the following: HF corn syrup, fiber, glycemic index, tans fatRole of vitamins and minerals in general metabolism

Ex Phys: cholesterol

The following is a link to videos related to cholesterol. You are to create a movie (Moviemaker) about the role of lipoproteins in your body (see below). If you need further information on how to use MovieMaker, the following provides video tutorials.
1.Ingest foods high in cholesterol
2.Cholesterol absorbed by the small intestine, and enters the bloodstream
3.Cholesterol absorbed from small intestine into liver
4.Cholesterol combines with triglycerides to form VLDL.
5.VLDL is broken down into LDL
6.LDL exits the liver and enter bloodstream for delivery to peripheral tissues
7.Plaque formed on the inside walls of arteries
8.HDL (already in bloodstream) removes excess cholesterol from arterial walls
9.HDL releases cholesterol back to the liver
10.Bile is released and excess cholesterol is either 1) eliminated in feces or 2) reabsorbed in your bloodstream

Biology: cells

four-square cell handout due wed.

Biology: Cells

The following video shows a lot of things that occur in your cells (choose [HIGH] to view)

Biology: Enzymes

Go to the following site or this site or...this site and use the activities to help you fill in the four-square handout sheet (Title: Enzymes).

Bio

Research was exactly biology is. Locate at least 10 different websites that explain what things you may be learning about this year. In your blog, create a post that summarizes the websites and in your own words describes what Biology is. Remember, whenever you get information from a webpage, link that information from your text to the website source (just as I did above with "blog"). After you have written a couple of paragraphs on Biology, find a "royalty-free" website that allows you to save and post pictures. Post a few pictures that represent what Biology in the same post.

ExPhys

After you have created your blog, research what exactly exercise physiology/exercise science really is. Post an explanation in your blog that includes text and at least one picture (make sure it's from a royalty-free site!). Log onto the class website and link your name to your blog (sign in is nwbiology, nwfalcons and the site is mrcernyexphys2...)

Go the following website. Read and summarize the Introduction (first three paragraphs up to "Your Assignment") and answer all questions for each of the three patients.

Ex Phys (CV exam tues)

Study questions:
•What are the major purposes of the CV sys.
•Outline the design and blood flow of the heart and throughout body. Why is it often called “two pumps in one?”
•Outline the cardiac cycle and the associated electrical activity recorded via the electrocardiogram
•Significance of the SA node (rest & exercise)
•Explain BP and why it is something that is measured
•What factors determine blood flow during exercise?
•Explain immediate and long-term effects of training on the CV system

Biology (fetal development)

Each student will be assigned a time period during fetal development and will post the following information in their class wiki (period 3 & period 5):

• Picture(s) of fetus (include source)
• Explanation as to what organs/body systems are developed
• Approximate size
• Other information

Once all information is posted, you will visit and read about other organisms and "ask" a question (under the discussion tab) to the researcher. These questions should then be answered by the researcher.

Ex Phys MMedia (Body Systems)

Topics:
A) Skeletal, muscular, neural (group of 3)
B) Respiratory, pulmonary, hormonal, neural (group of 4)
Each group will produce an in depth video news report/documentary that relates their topics to an aspect of exercise. More specifically, each group must choose one (or a few) of the different exercise aspects below:
·Specific to training for a specific sport,·Space flight,·Underwater diving/chamber,·Training at altitude,Obesity (childhood or adult),·A diabetic (or other disease/malfunction) training,·Rehabilitation after complete muscle atrophy,·Increase in environmental temperature,·Asthma,·Ultra-endurance,·Someone taking anabolic steroids &/or Human Growth Hormone (HGH),·Other (must be approved by instructor)
Content (vocabulary and concepts) that must be included is on the attached sheet. News reports must be between 5-15 minutes in length. Each group will put together their report in Adobe Premier. Each video/news report must have the following criteria:
·At least 6 video clips of you reporting throughout the report (two or three per person in the group),·At least one video clip of you interviewing someone else (someone else may pretend to be a “professional”),·At least one self-created labeled diagram/picture that you narrate over and explain,·At least 3 video clips of demonstration/sports/activity that relates to the specific concept(s),·At least 1 musical component,·At least one summary/report/reference to a study that was published between 2005-present,·Incorporation of the “green screen”
The entire class will then put together a full-length DVD that contains each of the group’s reports. Your target audience may that of a sports team, advanced biology class, CNN or NPR science report, physical therapy office, or other.
