Q

Sino-atrial node

A

often called the ‘pacemaker’. Regulates the heart rate in line with the body’s demand. Sends out an electrical stimulus which travels across the muscle cells in the atria, causing the atria to contract (atrial depolarisation)

Q

Atrioventricular-node

A

The impulse travels to the AV node, where it delays the next contraction to allow the ventricles to fully fill with blood. Once the AV valves have closed, the stimulus travels to the bundle of His and Purkinje fibres.

33
Q

Atrial and ventricular repolarisation

A

occurs during a brief time period following depolarisation, and describes the electrical impulse returning to a baseline value

34
Q

Anticipatory rise

A

Heart rate before exercise going up

35
Q

Plateau

A

Heart rate matches oxygen demand during exercise

36
Q

Recovery

A

After exercise heart rate remains elevated for periods of time, waste products removed and oxygen debt paid

37
Q

Vascular shunt mechanism

A

Shunts oxygenated blood to muscles that need it most.

38
Q

vasomotor centre

A

In medulla olongata, regulates the blood flow by causing the sympathetic nervous system to cause arteries to either vasoconstrict or vasodilator

39
Q

Precapillary sphincters

A

smooth muscle surrounding the intersection between the arterioles and capillaries.
When arterioles widen or narrow to help control blood flow towards capillaries

40
Q

Venous return

A

the rate at which the blood returns to the heart
Stroke volume ^ if venous return ^
1-5

41
Q

1- valves

A

Restrict back flow

42
Q

2- gravity

A

Venous return of blood in the superior regions of the body (above the heart) is aided by gravity.

43
Q

3- skeletal muscle pump

A

Veins between muscles squeeze during contraction, causing blood towards heart againsg gravity

44
Q

4- respiratory pump

A

During inspiration, pressure in the thoracic cavity decreases and pressure in the abdominal cavity increases. This forces blood that is inferior (below) to the heart upwards.

45
Q

5- smooth muscle

A

Veins feature smooth muscles which help contract and squeeze the blood back towards the heart.

46
Q

Frank starling law

A

refers to the increased stroke volume as a result of an increased amount of blood filling the heart

47
Q

Venous return during recovery

A

Slowly decreases after exercise such as stroke volume (-> leading to a lower preloading of the heart and a decrease in the amount the ventricles can stretch before contraction.)

48
Q

Neural factors

A

aid the regulation of blood flow, receptors send an impulse to the cardiac control centre in the medulla oblongata. This sends via symptomatic and inpathetic

49
Q

Baroreceptors

A

sensors which detect changes in blood pressure

50
Q

Chemoreceptors

A

sensors which detect chemical changes within the blood (i.e. high levels of lactic acid)

51
Q

Proprioreceptors

A

sensors which detect changes in body
Position (i.e. changes in muscular activity)

52
Q

Hormonal: adrenaline

A

released into the bloodstream and stimulates the heart. This release via the sympathetic nervous system prior to exercise is what is responsible for the anticipatory rise in heart rate

53
Q

Nordrenaline

A

released into the bloodstream usually during stressful situations and is commonly known as the ‘fight or flight’ chemical. This increases heart rate and blood pressure.

54
Q

Intrinsic factors

A

Increased core body temperature leads to an increase in heart rate through the stimulation of thermoreceptors, as the heart must work faster to deliver blood to the skin, to allow heat to be lost through radiation (the movement of heat from a heated surface to an unheated environment)

55
Q

Nasal cavity

A

Right at the top of the respiratory system
Hollow space which acts as a passageway for air
The surface of this has a mucus membrane which moistens, warms and filters the air.

56
Q

Pharynx/throat

A

Again, it has the role of acting as a passageway for air
Again, the surface of this has a mucus membrane which moistens, warms and filters the air.

57
Q

Larynx

A

Voice box below the pharynxc, same function

58
Q

Trachea

A

trunk’ of the respiratory tree, the trachea (windpipe) is a long hollow tubular structure which acts as a passageway for air.
The surface of this has a mucus membrane which moistens, warms and filters the air

59
Q

Bronchus

A

Branches of respiratory tree, passageway for warm air

60
Q

Bronchioles

A

Twigs’, distribute air throughout lungs, small thin tubular

61
Q

Alveoli

A

Tiny air sacs which are the sight of gaseous exchange at your lungs.
Taking oxygen from the air and transferring it to your blood.
Around 480mil

62
Q

Breathing frequency

A

Breaths per minute (not bpm!)
Avg 12 at rest

63
Q

Tidal volume

A

volume of air displaced from the lungs during inspiration and expiration
Avg 500ml at rest

64
Q

Minute ventilation (breathing frequency * tidal volume)

A

volume of air inhaled or exhaled per minute
Avg: 6l/min at rest

65
Q

Mechanics of breathing

A
66
Q

Gaseous exchange at alveoli

A

(=diffusion) alveoli takes the oxygen and diffuses it into the blood, it is also taking carbon dioxide from the blood to be exhaled out of the body.
Oxygen: alveoli -> blood
Co2: capillaries -> alveoli

67
Q

Gaseous exchange at muscles

A

Oxygen jn blood carried by haemoglobin but dissociates (by diffusion) when delivered to muscles

68
Q

diaphragm and external intercostal muscles

A

Responsible for breathing at rest

69
Q

Sternocleidomastoid

A

A muscle found in the neck which helps to lift the sternum which helps to lift the rib cage, increasing the volume of the thoracic cavity.
Air moved from high pp to low (atmosphere lungs)

70
Q

Pectoralis minor

A

Also helps to lift the sternum and therefore rib cage, once again increasing the volume of the thoracic cavity

71
Q

Internal intercostal muscles

A

Are not activated during breathing at rest, only during exercise, helping to lower the ribs and bring them inwards, decreasing the volume of the thoracic cavity.

72
Q

Recuts abdominis

A

Contract and cause the pressure of the abdominal cavity to increase, resulting in the diaphragm being raised, decreasing the volume of the thoracic cavity.

73
Q

Chemoreceptors

A

detects changes in blood pH levels, as a result
of an increased amount of CO2 concentration within the blood.
This increase reduces the PP of O2, so the chemoreceptors
stimulate increase of breathing rate via the IC

74
Q

Neural control: thermoreceptors

A

detects increase of temperature, causing respiratory rate to increase

75
Q

Proprioceptors

A

detects stimulation of joints and muscles, stimulating the inspiratory control centre

76
Q

Baroreceptors

A

detects the stretch of lung tissue and stimulates the ECC to cause expiration

77
Q

Effects of exercise on gaseous exchange
(Pressure gradient)

A

Gaseous exchange occurs as a result of the pressure gradient - the difference in PP of O2 between two sites (e.g. alveoli and blood) - O2 diffuses from a site of high concentration to low concentration - the same goes for CO2
This pressure gradient is increased as we exercise, due to O2 levels in the blood decreasing and CO2 levels increasing.

78
Q

(Dissociation of oxy haemoglobin)

A

In areas of high PP, the O2 is readily bound to the haemoglobin.
In areas of low PP, the O2 is released from the haemoglobin as the surrounding environment has a higher demand for its presence.

79
Q

Bohr effect

A

Term used to describe the movement of the graph to the right. This ‘Bohr effect’ is a result of an increase in blood acidity, suggesting that O2 less readily binds to haemoglobin when in an environment which has low pH levels.

80
Q

Affinity

A

Degree substances bind together
