Q

the heart has 4 phases in the beat

A

aortic valves are open when:
ventrical pressure is high

Atrioventricular valves are open when atrial pressure is higher than ventricular pressure

Q

End Diastolic Volume
End Systolic Volume

A

End Diastolic Volume: volume of blood in ventricle after filling is complete

End Systolic Volume: volume of blood left in ventricle after contraction

Q

Stroke Volume
Cardiac Output (CO or Q)

A

Stroke Volume: volume of blood ejected from ventricle with each beat.

Cardiac Output (CO or Q): Heart Rate X Stroke Volume

16
Q

how much blood is in your body

17
Q

72 beats/min * stroke volume 70 = cardiac output

18
Q

you lose blood slower when you exercise

A

false, way faster

19
Q

if you lose 1.2 liters of blood

20
Q

Frank-Starling Law of the Heart

A

When the rate at which the blood flows into the heart from the veins (venous return) changes, the stretch on the ventricular myocardium changes, causing the ventricle to contract with greater or lesser force so that the stroke volume matches the venous return.”

easier : more I stretch sarcomeres, the more sarcomeres can relax back. more blood can flow

21
Q

How does adrenaline increase muscle capacity

A

releases calcium into muscle cells usually only available through sarcoplastic reticulum

22
Q

during exercise cardiac output increases 5x

A

but skeletal muscle increases 20x, GI tract decreases, brain stays the same

23
Q

F = P / R

A

Flow = pressure gradient / resistance

24
Q

pressure differences cause blood to move

25
Resistance in the pulmonary circuit is low
yup
26
Factors Affecting Resistance to Flow
Viscosity of fluid =  Length of the vessel (L) Radius of the vessel (r)
