  2. Erythropoiesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erythropoiesis

    By the third or fourth month, erythropoiesis moves to the liver. [3] After seven months, erythropoiesis occurs in the bone marrow. Increased levels of physical activity can cause an increase in erythropoiesis. [4] However, in humans with certain diseases and in some animals, erythropoiesis also occurs outside the bone marrow, within the spleen ...

  3. Energy homeostasis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_homeostasis

    Energy intake is measured by the amount of calories consumed from food and fluids. [1] Energy intake is modulated by hunger, which is primarily regulated by the hypothalamus, [1] and choice, which is determined by the sets of brain structures that are responsible for stimulus control (i.e., operant conditioning and classical conditioning) and cognitive control of eating behavior.

  5. Allostasis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allostasis

    First proposed by Peter Sterling and Joseph Eyer in 1988, the concept of allostasis shifts the focus away from the body maintaining a rigid internal set-point, as in homeostasis, to the brain's ability and role to interpret environmental stress and coordinate changes in the body using neurotransmitters, hormones, and other signaling mechanisms.

  6. Sympathoadrenal system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sympathoadrenal_system

    During exercise, the body undergoes an acute stress response in which more oxygen and energy is needed for physical activity. The stress induced during exercise results in an increase in the hormones, epinephrine and norepinephrine, which are known for the body's "fight or flight" response.

  7. Erythropoietin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erythropoietin

    Erythropoietin is an essential hormone for red blood cell production. Without it, definitive erythropoiesis does not take place. Under hypoxic conditions, the kidney will produce and secrete erythropoietin to increase the production of red blood cells by targeting CFU-E , pro erythroblast and basophilic erythroblast subsets in the differentiation.

  8. Exercise physiology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exercise_physiology

    Protecting the brain from even minor disruption is important since exercise depends upon motor control. Because humans are bipeds, motor control is needed for keeping balance. For this reason, brain energy consumption is increased during intense physical exercise due to the demands in the motor cognition needed to control the body. [34]
