Q

thermoregulation: hypothermia

A
  1. hypothalamus senses blood temperature when its too cool and it activates
  2. causes vasoconstriction in the peripheral extremities and shivering
  3. vasoconstriction causes less heat loss to the enviroment
  4. shivering raises body temp
36
Q

thermoregulation: hyperthermia

A
  1. The hypothalamus senses warmblood
  2. causes vasodilation in peripheral and near skin and activates the sweat glands
  3. sweating should make the temp go down
37
Q

what causes vasodilation and constriction

A

neural stimulation

38
Q

dehydration causes

A

hypovolemia

39
Q

Describe the impact humidity would have on thermoregulation of hyperthermia

A

Effects the ability of sweat to evaporate into the air

40
Q

Describe the impact HOT air temperatures would have on thermoregulation of hyperthermia.

A

Decrease the ability to thermoregulate because it compromises convection and radiation

41
Q

sweating: to solve hyperthermia

A
  1. stimulus: hot blood
  2. neural control center - hypothalamus - brain
  3. SNS stimulates: sweat glands and vasodilation
42
Q

sweat

A

fluid released by sweat glands onto the skin of some mammals

43
Q

evaporation of fluid off skin =

A

convection and radiation

44
Q

minerals in sweat

A

NA and CL-

45
Q

blood plasma lost from sweating decreases

A

blood volume

46
Q

central circulation

A

organs and arteries

47
Q

peripheral circulation

A

superficial vessels

48
Q

larger vessel volume

A

= more blood in them

49
Q

if there is more blood in the peripheral circulation then

A

less blood in central circulation

50
Q

hypotension

A

low blood pressure

51
Q
A
52
Q

Cardiac output equation

A

CO= SV and HR

53
Q

SV

A

volume of blood pumped with each ventricular contraction

54
Q

preload

A

end-diastolic volume

55
Q

diastole

A

relaxation of the heart

56
Q

SV is dependent on

A

left ventricle preload

57
Q

preload is dependent on

A

blood volume

58
Q

preload is lower due to

A

pooling in periphery (blood volume is lower centrally)
or sweating

59
Q

if SV is lower then HR needs to ______ to maintain CO

A

increase

60
Q

what causes of absence of sweating

A

hypothalamus will remove sweating stimulus if blood volume gets too low or becomes hypertonic

61
Q

hypovolemia is associated with

A

hypotension
tachycardia
and absence of sweating

62
Q

sweat rate

A

dont want to lose 1-2%

63
Q

A

1 kg

64
Q

NA AI

A

1500

65
Q

66
Q

calculating sweat rate

A
  1. weight loss during training - weight before and after
  2. volume consumed - water bottle weight before and after
  3. urine loss
  4. duration of excerise
67
Q

what you need to measure sweat rate

A

conditions similar to competiton
bw scale
kitchen scale
bottles of water
towels
calculator

68
Q

factors that determine your sweat rate

A

  2. body fat %
  3. clothing
  4. windspeed, temp, humidity
  5. intensity of exercise
  6. genetics
69
Q

how many days to get acclimated to the heat

A

5-7 days

70
Q

acclimation to heat: plasma volume

A

increases and allows you to sweat more

71
Q

acclimation to heat: core and skin temp

A

decreases a little bit - to allow for flexibility as temperature increases

72
Q

acclimation to heat: Hr

A

decreases

73
Q

acclimation to heat: exercise capacity

A

increases

74
Q

plasma volume increase =

A

preload increase

75
Q

preload increase =

A

SV increase

76
Q

increase SV =

A

decrease in HR

77
Q

training adaption status

A

onset of sweating - sooner
sweat more - evaporation of sweat is primary way of thermoregulating
sweat is more dilute = less NA loss

WUT
weight
urine
thirst

79
Q

weight in WUT method

A

compare to reference weight after going pee and poop
