end-systolic volume
volume of blood in ventricle after contraction phase | EDV - ESV = SV
26
submaximal exercise
low to moderate exercise | aerobic capacity
27
maximal exercise
high intensity | induces fatigue
28
Starling's law
.SV is dependent on VR .if VR increases then so does SV (vice versa) .Increased stretch of ventricle walls during exercise, means more forceful contraction, which leads to higher SV
29
Quadriceps group muscles
rectus femoris vastus intermedius vastus medialis vastus lateralis
30
Hamstrings group
bicep femoris semimembranosus semitendinosus
31
motor nerves
stimulate muscle tissue causing motor movement
32
sensory nerves
nerves that transmit info to the CNS
33
receptors
sensory organs that pick up stimuli and relay it to the brain
34
myogenic
can generate its own electrical impulse
35
S.A Node
.sinal atrial node .'pacemaker' .recieves and sends stimulus
36
A.V Node
.atrioventricular node .causes atriums to contract .right atrium .helps delay impulse to allow atria to finish contracting
37
conduction system
.S.A node receives stimulus .S.A node sends stimulus (wave like impulse) .Stimulus travels through atria walls and causes them to contract .Stimulus reaches A.V node .A.V node helps delay impulse to allow atria to finish contraction .Stimulus reaches Bundle of His .Splits into left and right branches .Impulse spreads around ventricle walls through a network or purkinje fibres .purkinje fibres causes contraction
38
proprioreceptors
detect movement found in muscles, tendons and joints sends info to cardiac control centre
39
chemoreceptors
detect pH changes | sends info to the cardiac control centre
40
baroreceptors
detect change in blood pressure | sends info to the cardiac control centre
41
atrial systole
.S.A node causes wave like impulse over atria .Forces blood into ventricles .Semi-lunar valves close
42
ventricular systole
.impulse reaches AV node and spreads to Bundle of His and Purkinje fibres .second contraction across ventricular walls .atrio-ventricular valves close .semi-lunar valves open .blood pushes out into pulmonary artery and aorta
43
hormonal control
adrenaline or nor adrenaline bypasses receptors and cardiac control centre goes directly to SA node
44
5 mechanisms of venous return
``` muscle pump respiratory pump gravity pocket valves smooth muscle ```
45
vascular shunting
.Vasomotor control centre (VCC) sends message to arterioles and pre-capillary sphincters to either vasoconstrict or vasodilate .More blood is needed to go to working muscles to provide more oxygen
46
% of oxygen needed by organs vs muscles at rest and during exercise
At rest: 15-20% muscles 80-85% organs During Exercise: 80-85% muscles 15-20% organs
47
Internal respiration
Oxygen going to muscles from bloodstream Carbon dioxide going to bloodstream from muscles high concentration to low concentration myoglobin transports oxygen
48
External respiration
``` Oxygen entering capillaries from alveoli Carbon dioxide entering alveoli from capillaries high concentration to low concentration Oxygen goes to left atrium carbon dioxide goes to lungs ```
49
Mechanics of breathing (5 steps)
.Muscles actively contract or passively relax .This causes movement of the ribs, sternum, and abdomen .This causes the thoracic cavity volume to either increase or decrease .This causes lung capacity to either increase or decrease .This causes inspiration or expiration
50
Inspiration at rest (5)
``` .External intercostal muscles and diaphragm contract .rib cage moves up and outwards .increases volume of air in lungs .pressure in lungs decreases .air rushes in ```
51
Expiration at rest (5)
``` .Diaphragm and external intercostal muscles relax .rib cage moves down and in .volume of air in lungs decreases .pressure in lungs increases .air leaves ```
52
Inspiration during exercise (5)
``` .More muscles needed to contract (scalenes, sternocleidomastoid, pectoralis major, diaphragm, external intercostal muscles) .rib cage up and out .volume of air in lungs increases .pressure in lungs decreases .air rushes in ```
53
Respiratory control centre (4)
.medulla oblongata in the brain controls RCC .regulates pulmonary respiration .controls inspiratory and expiratory centres .works with CCC and VCC
54
Inspiratory centre at rest
.Sends impulses to the diaphragm via the phrenic nerves .sends impluses to the external intercostal muslces via the intercostal nerves .tells them to contract .this increases lung volume .the muscles then relax, decreasing the volume again
55
Expiratory centre at rest
.inactive during rest | .passive
56
Inspiratory centre during exercise
.Stimulates additional muscles to increase force of contraction and depth of inspiration
57
Expiratory centre during exercise
.stimulates internal intercostals, rectus abdominals and obliques, causing a forced expiration which reduces duration of inspiration .causes inspiratory centre to stimulate muscles .results in exercise intensity, depth of breathing and rate of breathing to all increase
58
Oxygen transport %
97% carried as oxyhaemoglobin | 3% carried within blood plasma
59
Carbon dioxide transport %
70% cabonic acid (combined with water (plasma) in red blood cells) 23% carried as carbiminohaemoglobin 7% dissolved in plasma
60
Oxygen-haemoglobin dissociation curve
.informs us of amount of haemoblobin saturated with oxygen .curve shifts to the right during exercise .at rest 75% oxygen associated (25% dissociated) .more dissociates during exercise
61
4 effects to increase dissociation
increase temperature increase in carbon dioxide increase in acid (lactic or carbonic) decrease partial pressure of oxygen
62
Breathing rate response to exercise
increases in proportion to exercise intensity maximum 50-60 breaths per minute can plateau in sub-maximal exercise
63
tidal volume response to exercise
initial increase in proportion to exercise up to around 3 litres plateaus during sub-maximal
64
Minute ventilation responses to exercise and recovery
``` anticipatory rise rapid rise in VE slower rise/plateau continued but slower increase rapid decrease in VE slower decrease ```
65
adductor group muscles
``` adductor brevis adductor longus adductor magnus pectineaus gracillis ```
66
pocket valves
prevent back flow | direct blood to heart
67
muscle pump
muscles surrounding veins push blood by contracting and relaxing
68
respiratory pump
.pressure changes in thorax and abdomen .increase in pressure means they squeeze larger veins .pushes blood towards heart
69
smooth muscle
smooth muscle in middle layer of veins contracts and relaxes to direct blood
70
gravity
blood from upper body aided by gravity as it descends
71
curve shifting to the right
Bohr shift
