8
Q

during exercise, there is a large-scale skeletal m. vasodilation and drop in SVR which reduces arterial pressure, how do baroreceptors respond and why

A

HR and contractility increase as does vasoconstriction—>to maintain bp (MAP)

19
Q

this increases w/ exercise allowing gas exchange to meet the O2 demand

A

ventilation

20
Q

when you cross threshold from moderate to intense exercise, what happens

A
  1. blood pH decreases do to increase in lactate
  2. ventilation rate increases
21
Q

______ slows O2 diffusion from alveoli to arterial circulation; seriously limits O2 loading of Hb during exercise

A

lung disease

22
Q

major effect of exercise

A

CO (cardiac output) goes up and stays up

23
Q

what decreases when exercise begins allowing for O2 delivery to muscles

A

vascular resistance

24
Q

overall process of sustaining high level of sympathetic outflow and maintaining bp to perfuse organs

A

exercise

25
Q

what actually causes CO to increase:

A
  1. increase in heart contractility
  2. increase venous tone (vasoconctriction)
  3. decrease arterial tone (vasodilation)
26
Q

VO2

A

O2 consumption

27
Q

key indicator of exercise performance

A

VO2

28
Q

VO2=

A

CO (arterial O2-venous O2)

29
Q

cardiac output where majorly increases with exercise

A

skeletal muscle

30
Q

Main thing that drives sympathetic outflow for entire duration of exercise

A

decreased systemic vascular resistance

31
Q

quick source of ATP for muscle that is depleted quickly

A

PCr (phosphocreatine)

32
Q

uses glycolysis; lactate formed; limited ATP

A

anaerobic exercise

33
Q

uses oxidative metabolism and a lot of ATP

A

aerobic exercise

34
Q

used for prolonged exercise or very light exercise

A

FA’s

35
Q

effects of exercise training

A

37
Q

used to treat anemia in people w/ severe renal disease

A

Q

used for doping in endurance athletes to increase O2 carrying capacity during exercise

A

EPO

39
Q

what can unmask coronary artery disease

A

exercise

40
Q

arterioles already maximally dilated, so they steal flow from other arterioles and become ischemic during exercise

A

vascular “steal” phenomenon

41
Q

to test for heart disease

A

stress test

42
Q

patient’s on treadmill or stationary bike and have what monitored

A

ECG and BP

43

heart failure, etc.

44
Q

stress test measures this; compares metabolic rate during activity to rest

A

METs

45
Q

3 additional stress tests

A
  1. echocardiogram
  2. nuclear stress test
  3. drugs
46
Q

pathology indicated if something abnormal is found during stress test
