Cardio pt 2- Exam 2 Flashcards
What is the Fick equation?
VO2= CO * a-VO2 difference
In 100ml of body, what is your oxygen carrying capacity?
20mL
VO2 stands for?
oxygen consumption
When the arterial blood enters the tissue it has _____ oxygen. When the blood leaves the tissue it is at ___ oxygen.
20mL
15mL
tissue takes up 5mL of blood
In one minute, how much can your heart pump out?
5000 mL of blood
What is the total cardiac output?
25 Liters
25,000mL
What is stroke volume?
amount of blood that comes out of the heart per beat
T/F: Max heart rate can increase with exercise.
FALSE
max heart rate is a function of age
Chronotropic is defined as ?
how fast/slow the heart is beating
aka heart rate
Ionotropic is defined as ?
how hard the heart is beating
Stroke volume (increases/decreases) with fitness
increases
RESTING heart rate (increases/decreases) with fitness
decreases
Name some ways that stroke volume will increase?
Sympathetic nervous system, B-adrengeric stimulation, increase calcium -> harder the heart will contract
Oxygen is extracted by the _____ in the cells
mitochondria
Increasing calcium with (increase/decrease) heart contractility
increase (the force with which it contracts)
B adrenergic stimulates the SA node causing ??
increase the number of times the heart contracts
The a to VO2 difference will be (higher/lower) when you are fit
HIGHER because more oxygen is being used up in the tissues
aka the difference will be greater
What is training doing to your body to make the a to VO2 difference to increase?
the mitochondria are getting bigger and multiplying
more capillaries
higher stroke volume
sympathetic/parasympathetic is dominate at rest, what happens to your heart rate?
para
para stimulation will decrease the HR
what defines an efficient heart?
pumping the same amount of blood in less time
Name some factors that will affect preload
Name some factors that will affect afterload
Shoveling snow (static work)
What is the pressor reflex? What happens to BP and HR?
high amount of muscle tension increases cardiovascular function
both will increase
_____ in the carotid bodies of the aorta arch determines how much pressure inside the vessel
baroreceptors
What is the job of the baroreceptors?
to maintain normal blood pressure
In orthostatic hypotension the ____ are not picking up your blood pressure is low
baroreceptors
Before you even start working out, ____ _____ increases heart rate and pressure
Central command
the higher brain centers
through the sympathetic nervous system
______ initiates the cardiac cycle, how many times a minute?
SA node, 100
Due to ____ _____, if 1 heart cell fires off, they all fire off
inter-calculated discs
Where is the SA node located?
Superior lateral wall of the right atrium near the opening of the superior vena cava.
Why does AV node delays the impulse it receives from the SA node?
to give the ventricles time to fill
What is a PVC? What does it stand for?Why is it a problem?
When the heart fires off much lower than it is supposed to.
Preventricular Contraction
because the ventricle contracts an empty chamber
The electrical way goes what direction?
from the right shoulder to the left hip
During diastole, the _____ are relaxes and does what?
ventricles are relaxed and filling with blood
