Energy Production Systems

Meaning

Energy production systems encompass the integrated biochemical pathways within the human body responsible for generating Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP), the primary cellular energy currency. These systems include glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and the oxidative phosphorylation chain, primarily housed within the mitochondria. Optimal function of these systems is non-negotiable for all physiological processes, from muscle contraction to complex hormonal synthesis and neurotransmission.
