  • 2-Define BMR and its significance.
  • 3-Respiratory Quotient.
  • 4-Understand the basis of thermal balance.
  • 5-Explain the thermoregulatory response to cold

3
Physiology of Energy Metabolism
  • Metabolism
  • Anabolism
  • Glucose Energy---------Glycogen
  • Catabolism
  • Glycogen----------Glucose ENERGY
  • Energy in the form of ATP
  • ATP combustion of food stuffs ,carbohydrates,
    lipids, proteins.
  • Degradation of ATP ? 24 kcal/molecule.

4
ATP
  • Synthesis of most intracellular components.
  • Synthesis of glucose.
  • Synthesis of fatty acids.
  • Synthesis cholesterol,phospholipids, hormones,
  • Synthesis of urea.
  • Source of muscle energy.
  • Energizes active transport across membranes.
  • Energizes glandular secretion.
  • Energizes nerve conduction.

5
ENERGY BALANCE
Energy intake Energy output
If energy intake more than energy output
------------ obesity state.
If energy intake less than energy output
------------- thin state.
6
Origin of Energy Input
Food intake.
Stored glycogen triglycerides.
7
Energy output
  • 60---------BMR.
  • 8----------Thermic effect of food
  • cold induced thermogenesis.
  • 7----------Spontaneous purposeless activity.
  • 25---------Purposeful physical activity.

8
Unit of Energy
  • Kilocalorie(Kcal) the amount of heat required to
    raise the temperature of one Kg. of water from
    15-16 C.
  • ( kcal capital C)
  • Kilocalorie 1000 calorie.
  • Physical heat value the amount of energy
    liberated when 1 gm. of substrate is completely
    oxidized outside the body
  • Caloric value of food ( physical heat value)
  • CHO ------------4.1 C/gm
  • Fats--------------9.3 C/gm
  • Protein-----------5.6 C/gm

9
Physiological heat value
  • The amount of energy liberated by 1 gm. of food
    substrate when they are completely oxidized
    inside the body.
  • CHO--------------------4.0 C/gm.
  • Fats----------------------9.0 C/gm.
  • Protein------------------4.1 C/gm.
  • physiological heat value of protein (4.1)
    less than physical heat value( 5.6) due to
    incomplete oxidation of protein as complete
    oxidation lead to formation of nitric acid which
    is fatal.
  • The difference between physical and
    physiological values are due to variations in GIT
    absorption, 98 CHO, 95 fats and 92 protein

10
Caloric value of oxygen heat value
  • Is the amount of heat generated when 1 liter of
    oxygen used to oxidize different food stuffs.
  • CHO produces 5 C.(kcal)
  • Fat produces 4.7 C.(kcal)
  • protein produces 4.5 C.( kcal)
  • Mixed food produces 4.8 C. (kcal)

11
Respiratory Quotient (RQ)
  • CO2 production
  • RQ --------------------- as a ratio
  • O2 consumption.
  • At rest
  • O2 consumption250-300 ml/min(VO2).
  • CO2 production 200-250ml/min(VCO2).

12
Importance of RQ
  • Determines the nature of food substance oxidized
    in different tissues and under
  • different conditions.
  • CHO ------------RQ1.
  • Fat---------------RQ0.7.
  • Protein-----------RQ0.8.
  • Transformation of one food substance into another
    one.
  • CHO(O2 rich) ----------------Fat
    (O2-poor)----------------------more CO2
    production so higher RQ.
  • 3. Determines the caloric value of O2 using
    special metabolic tables.
  • 4. Denotes the type of food utilization after
    their absorption
  • If RQ1 ----------CHO utilization.
  • If RQ0.7---------Fat utilization.
  • 5. Negative RQ( arterial CO2 gt venous CO2 ) as
    in
  • - HCL secretion in stomach.
  • - HCO3 secretion in pancreas
  • - Formation of intraocular formation.
  • - Utilization of CO2 by the kidney to get
    red of H.

13
Basal Metabolic Rate

  • Age 20 years40C/H/M2
  • Above 20 years ? Decreased 1C/10 years.
  • Sex
  • BMR is lower in female by about 7
  • due to more fat store with little metabolic
    activity.

16
  • Normal value of BMR
  • In adult man 40 C/H/M2 15 .
  • Clinical expression of BNR
  • Expressed as a of increase or decrease from
  • the normal standard value for the subject.
  • e.g. If BMR 60 C/H/M2( 20 C/H/M2)
  • Exceeding the normal standard value by
    20
  • so, 50 ( higher than normal value
    i.e.

25
Body Temperature
  • The body temperature of human body is maintained
    within 0.6 C of its normal value 37.0 C(98 F)
    .
  • Constant body temperature is essential for
    optimum enzymatic activity.
  • Homeostasis depends upon the balance between heat

  • . Extra- metabolism by
  • Thyroxine.
  • Growth hormone testosterone.
  • Sympathetic nervous system.
  • Cell activity.
  • Heat uptake

32
Heat Loss
  1. Most of heat loss is produced by deep organs
    especially liver, brain ,heart and skeletal
    muscles.
  2. Conveyed to the surface through the tissues to
    the skin only if the skin temperature is lt core
    temperature.

33
  • Rate of heat Loss depends upon
  • Rate of heat production by the body tissues.
  • 2. Rate of heat conduction from deep organs to
    skin.
  • 3. Rate of heat transfer from the skin to the
    surroundings.
  • Skin blood supply( cutaneous blood supply).

34
  • Source of heat production
  • In 70-kg normal person, Energy requirements
  • At rest 75 80 Kcal / hour.
  • During exercise 1400 Kcal/ hour.
  • Behavioral responses,
  • - in cold weather ---- increased food intake.
  • - in hot weather ---- decreased food intake.

35
  • 2. Physiological responses,
  • a) Muscle tone
  • - increased gradually by signals from
    hypothalamus, ? MR up to 50 100 .
  • b) Shivering
  • - It is involuntary response to a fall in
    core body temperature.
  • - It can be stopped or reduced by voluntary
    pathways.
  • - It is characterized by , not rhythmic ,
    no actual muscle shaking, gradually increase in
    MT above a certain level leads to shivering
    begins( asynchronous contraction and relaxation
    of small antagonistic muscle groups a rate of
    about 10 20 / second.
  • - It is controlled via hypothalamic
    signals.
  • - Most of energy is transformed into heat,
    since no external work is done.
  • - It can be abolished by ,alcohol,crure.
  • - It can be induced by ingestion of cold
    food.

36
  • 3. Endocrinal responses( chemical thermogenesis)
  • a) Catecholamines SNS excitation.
  • -?MR by uncoupling phosphorylation
  • - ?FFA release of fat stores
  • - VC of skin blood vessels?? heat loss
  • - Stimulate glycogenolysis in liver
  • b) Thyroid hormone.
  • - Long exposure to cold stimulate
  • thyroid hormone secretion ??MR by
  • uncoupling phosphorylation.

37
  • c) Hypothalamic hormone.
  • - TSH.
  • - ACTH Glucocorticoids.
  • - ADH.
  • d) Effect of clothing.
  • - Protect the body against heat loss.
  • - Clothes act as air traps which is a bad

    conductor of heat.

38
2- Rate of heat conduction from deep organs to
the skin
  • Blood flow to the skin from the body core
    provides heat transfer. Blood vessels are
    distributed profusely in SC tissues. The rate of
    cutaneous blood flow into skin venous plexuses
    vary 0 30 of cardiac output according to the
    surrounding temperature and the state of CVS
    system.

39
  • A high rate of cutaneous blood flow
    (VD)
  • ?
  • ? heat conduction from core to skin
  • ?
  • ? heat loss as during exposure to
    hot environment

40
  • A low rate of cutaneous blood flow (VC)
  • ?
  • ? heat conduction from core to skin
  • ?
  • ? heat loss as during exposure to cold
    environment

41
  • The degree of VC or VD of arterioles and the
    anastomosis that supply blood to venous plexuses
    of the skin is controlled by
  • VC is controlled by SNS.
  • VD is controlled by local factors as
  • heat metabolites( mainly )

42
3. Rate of heat transfer from the skin to the
surroundings
  • Radiation 60 - 70 of heat loss.
  • Conduction 15 of heat loss.
  • Evaporative heat loss
  • - Latent heat of vaporization
  • 580kcal/1Kg of water vaporized.
  • so, amount of heat loss by evaporation
  • 580kcal/h X amount of water
    evaporated

43
  • - Each ml of evaporated water removes
  • with it 0.6 kcal.
  • - Under resting conditions , 500 ml /day is
  • evaporated , so , 500 X 0.6 300 kcal/
    day.
  • - Heat loss by the skin is increased
    dramatically by sweating in hot dry climate
    and during muscular exercise.
  • - Evaporative heat loss is the only mean of
    heat loss when the body is exposed to high
    ambient temperature.

44
  • 4. Convection.
  • - It is the bulk of air movement surrounding
    the skin surface and is used as a way of heat
    loss
  • - Convection also increases evaporative heat
    loss.
  • - Also, it increases the degree of
    conduction.
  • - Water has a higher heat conductivity than
    air.
  • - Effect of clothing entraps air adjacent to
    the skin---- increases thickness of the private
    zone adjacent to the skin and decreases the flow
    of convection of air currents.

45
Physiological Regulation of Heat Exchange
46
  • Rate of Heat Exchange with Environment depends
    on
  • Skin temperature.
  • - Different from one portion to
    another portion.
  • - Skin, subcutaneous fat act as
    insulating blanket around the core of body
    protecting against heat loss or heat gain
    rapidly.
  • - Skin temperature is determined by
  • skin blood flow ( VC or VD ).

47
  • Rate of Sweat production
  • Heat loss by evaporation is regulated by
    controlling the rate of sweat production by
  • - Distributed all over the skin.
  • - Innervated by sympathetic cholinergic
    fibers.
  • - Stimulated by catecholamines (stress,
    anxiety)
  • - Stimulated by aldosterone.
  • - Blocked by atropine.
  • - Controlled by hypothalamic center.

eccrine sweat gland
48
  • Mechanism of sweat secretion
  • - Active process.
  • - The deep subdermal coiled part secretes a
    precursor or primary secretion.
  • - The duct portion of the gland modify the
    primary secretion in response to sympathetic
    cholinergic fibers.
  • - Na Cl reabsorption in the ductal part
  • under the effect of aldosterone.
  • - Rate of sweat secretion 0-1.5 L/hour
    900Kcal/Hour.
  • - Protein- free filtrate.

49
  • Composition of sweat secretion
  • - Water 99.2.
  • - Specific gravity 1001 1006.
  • - PH 3.8 -- 6.5.
  • - State of osmolarity hypotonic.
  • - Na Concentration 142mEq/L.
  • - Cl Concentration 104mEq/L.
  • - Urea Concentration 0.02.
  • - Lactic acid Concentration 0.3

  • - Profuse sweating marked skin VD.
  • - Loss of salt and water into sweat and
    shunting of blood to the skin lead to heat
    cramps.
  • - Extreme elevation of core temperature may
    cause heat exhaustion (shock and collapse due to
    excessive sweating, dehydration and
    hypovolaemia).
