24
what causes atrial systole
sa node fires the electrical impulse through the atria walls to the av node which delas the signal (atria contract)
25
what causes ventricular systole
the bundle of his splits the impulse into to two and passes it down the 2 bundle branches into the purkiyne fibres in both walls

maximal exercise:
exercise at a high intensity above the anerobic threshold
40
what is starlings law?
stroke volume is directly related to venous return
40
why does stroke volume plateau when submaximal exercise
increased heart rate towards maximal intensity doesn't allow ventricles to fill up fully (usually 40-60%)

49
what causes the heart to change beat even though its myogenic
THE Cardiac Control Centre (CCC)
50
what are control mechanisms
the 3 main sources that send info to the CCC - neutral - intrinsic - hormonal
51
what are the neutral controls
chemoreceptors - chemical changes - co2 / lactic acid baroreceptors - in blood vessels walls inform the CCC of blood pressure changes proprioceptors - in muscles and joints inform CCC of motor activity
52
what are the intrinsic responses
temperature changes - affect blood viscosity and speed of nerve transmissions venous return - affect stretch in ventricle walls and force of contraction therefore stroke volume
53
what does the vagus nerve do
it decreases the heart rate (parasympathetic)
54
what are the hormonal response
adrenaline and noradrenaline are released from the adrenal glands and increase force of ventricular contractions
55
what does the accelerator nerve do
it increases the heart rate and force of contraction (sympathetic)
56
what are the two branches of the ANS (automatic nervous system)
- sympathetic - parasympathetic
57
what does sympathetic do
Fight or Flight" Prepares your body for stress (sport or danger)
58
what does parasympathetic do
Rest and Digest" Calms your body down after activity.
59
what is the vascular system
a dense network of blood vessels which carry blood to every corner of the body
60
what is the make up of blood
45% cells 55% plasma
61
the 3 blood vessels:
artery's veins cappillaries
62
arteries
carry oxygenated blood from the heart to the muscles and organs
63
what are arterioles
subdivisions of artery's have large layer of smooth muscle which allows them to vasodilate and constrict
64
what is a pre capillary sphincter
a ring of smooth muscle surrounding the entry of a capillary's
65
what are venules
small blood vessels that take blood from the capillaries to the veins
66
what do veins and venioles have and what does that allow them to do
they have a layer of smooth muscle which allows them to venoconstrict and venodialate to maintain the flow fo blood
67
what is venous return
return of blood back to the heart (right atrium)
68
mechanisms of venous return 1.
pocket valves - small valves in the veins that prevent blood backflow
69
mechanisms of venous return 2.
smooth muscle - the muscle (involuntary) in the vein walls that allow it to Vaso and venoconstrict
70
mechanisms of venous return 3.
gravity - for blood above the heart
71
mechanisms of venous return 4.
muscle pump - during exercise skeletal muscle (actual voluntary muscle) contracts compressing the veins located between them
72
mechanisms of venous return 5.
respiratory pump during inspiration and expiration a pressure difference between the thoracic cavity and abdominal cavity is created
73
what is the vascular shunt mechanism
the redistribution of blood during exercise
74
during exercise what vaso dilates
arterioles and pre capillary sphincters to the organs
75
what controls the vascular shunt mechanism
the vasomotor control centre
76

78
order of the respiratory system
nasal cavity pharynx larynx trachea bronchi bronchioles alveoli
79
what do the airways have to filter air

80
how is carbon dioxide carried 70%
dissolved in water and transported as carbonic acid
81
how is carbon dioxide transported 23%

82
how is carbon dioxide transported 7%
dissolved in blood plasma
83
how is oxygen transported 97%

104
exercising not trained breathing rate:
40 - 50 BMP
105
muscles responsible for inspiration at rest
External intercostals the diaphragm
106
inspiration at rest answer-
the external intercostals contract pulling the ribs up and out the diaphragm contracts and flattens this increases the volume of the thoracic cavity decreasing the pressure air rushes in down the concentration gradient into the lungs
107
mechanics of breathing during exercise inspiration
additional muscles are recruited - sternocleidomastoid - pectoralis minor created a created upward and outward movement increasing the volume and decreasing the pressure more than at rest
108
muscles of expiration at rest
the external intercostals and diaphragm
109
mechanics of expiration at rest answer
the external intercostals relax lowering the ribcage and sternum down and in the diaphragm relaxes and returns to its dome chape
110
mechanics of expiration during exercise
becomes an active process and the internal intercostals and rectus abdominals are recruited creating and stronger downward and in force more air can be expired faster
111
what controls breathing
the respiratory control centre (RCC)
112
what are the 2 centres in the RCC
the inspiratory centre rest and exercise and the expiratory centre just exercise (both stimulate muscles)
113
what nerves does the IC use
it uses the phrenic nerve - diaphragm and the intercostal nerve - external intercostals
114
why is the expiratory centre not involved at rest
because of the natural relaxation of the diaphragm and external intercostals
115
what receptors send info to the rcc ec and ic
chemoreceptors baroreceptors proprioceptors thermoreceptors
116
what is partial pressure
the pressure exerted by an individual gas held in a mixture of gasses
116
what is the internal site
gas exchange between the blood capillary's and the muscles
116
what is the external site
gas exchange between the alveoli and capillary
117
pressure gradient
the difference in the pressure of two sides greater the gradient the faster the diffusion
118

120
how many molecules of o2 can oxygen hold
4
121
what happens when the ppo2 is high
it readily associates
122
what happens when the ppo2 is low
more readily dissociates
123
what does the oxyhaemoglobin dissociation curve show
relationship between the ppo2 and percentage saturation of haemoglobin
123
what is the ppo2 at rest
75%
124
as exercise increases what happens to the ppo2 in muscles
it decreases which mean the o2 more readily dissociates from the haemoglobin
125
what factors affect increase dissociation of oxygen
increase temperature increase production of co2 raising ppco2 increase production of lactic acid and carbonic acid (lowers ph)
126
what does carbonic acid and lactic acid do
Lactic acid and carbonic acid increase H⁺ (hydrogen ion) concentration.
127
what way does the bohr shift move
to the right
128
what does the Bohr shift show
o2 more readily dissociates
129
what percent of o2 is released during exercise
75%
130
what happens when recovering
it shifts to the left meaning it more readily associates meaning the blood stream can become saturated again to remove waste
