Q

What is stroke volume (SV?)

A

The amount of blood that is pumped from the ventricle with each contraction

18
Q

What is the stroke volume of the typical adult

A

Approximately 75-80 millimeters per beat

19
Q

What is heart rate?

A

The rate at which the heart pumps

20
Q

What is the heart rate of the typical adult

A

70 - 80 bpm beats per minute

21
Q

Together heart rate and stroke volume are know as what?

A

Cardiac output (Q)

22
Q

How long do you measure a pulse when your subject is at rest

23
Q

Factors that may affect resting heart rate

A
Digestion
Mental activity 
Environmental temperature 
Biological rhythms 
Body position 
Cardio fitness
24
When measuring a pulse during exercise how long do you count?
6 seconds
25
When measuring a pulse for only 6 seconds during exercise how do you calculate the HR?
Add a zero,, if you counted 12 beats adding a zero you give you 120 bps, or multiple by 10 which will also give you 120
26
This vital support mechanism provides an internal transportation, regulation and protection system for the kinetic chain

30
What does blood regulate
Body temperature and acid balance
31
How does blood protect the body (2)
It protects the body from excessive bleeding by clotting | Contains specialized immune cells that help fight disease and sickness
