23
Q

Increased myocardial contractility is:

A

Increased force of contraction due to sympathetic stimulation of ventricular muscle cells

24
Q

Increased venous return is:

A

Increased force of contraction via Frank Starling mechanism

25
Q

Frank-Starling’s Law of the heart

A

The more the heart muscle is stretched (filled) before contraction (preload), the more forcefully the heart will contract.

26
Q

Stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system during exercise causes:

A

↑ venous return, stretches the heart muscle, and ↑ cardiac output

27
Q

Increased venous return is due to (3):

A

– Respiratory pump
– Skeletal muscle pump
– Venoconstriction

28
Q

During inspiration (respiratory pump) (pressure effect cavities)

A

– <– press in thoracic cavity
– –> press in abdominal cavity
– Press abdominal > thoracic
– Helps to squeeze blood from lower body back to heart
– Greater respiratory movements (rate+depth) in exercise –> venous return

29
Q

Skeletal Muscle Pump

A
  • Muscle contraction propels blood forward through open distal valves and obstructs flow into muscle as proximal valves close during contraction.
  • During muscle relaxation, proximal valves open and blood fills venous segment
  • The net effect: cycle of compression and relaxation propels blood to heart.
30
Q

Venoconstriction involves:

A

Involves reflex signals that cause veins to constrict.

31
Q

What autonomic system sends reflex signals

A

the sympathetic nervous system during exercise

32
Q

what do reflex signals cause

A

Decrease vol of blood that venous system can contain, (facilitates venous return)
(causes veins to restrict)

33
Q

Exercise onset effect on SV

A

Increases with exercise intensity
up to ~40 to 60% VO2max
Plateaus and remains unchanged until exhaustion.

34
Q

elite athletes SV vs exercise onset

A

SV can continue to ↑, sometimes to maximal intensity.

35
Q

Acute Cardiovascular Responses

A

Increase in :
Blood flow
HR
Stroke Volume (SV)
Cardiac Output (CO)

36
Q

Measurements to assess cardiac output:

A

▪ Direct Fick
▪ Indicator dilution
▪ CO2 rebreathing

37
Q

Oxygen uptake =

A

Oxygen uptake =
cardiac output (Q) x arterio-venous oxygen difference

38
Q

What equation could you use to determine cardiac output?

A

The Fick Equation

39
Q

what is Oxygen consumption of a tissue dependent on

A

Blood flow to tissue and amount of 02 extracted from blood by tissue.

40
Q

Product of blood flow and difference in O2 concentration in the blood between arterial blood supplying the tissue and venous blood draining out of the tissue.

A

Oxygen consumption (VO2)
Called (a-v)O2 difference

41
Q

Method that: Expresses relationships between VO2 (mL/min) , and a-
vO2diff (mL/100mL blood) to determine cardiac output
(mL/min)

A

Direct Fick Method

42
Q

Direct Fick Method

A

Cardiac output = VO2 ÷ a-vO2diff
VO2 = HR x SV x (a-v)O2

43
Q

what does Direct Fick require

A

Requires complex invasive methodology
* VO2 (L/min) using open circuit spirometry
* average difference between O2 content of arterial and
mixed-venous blood (a-vO2diff)

44
Q

pulmonary artery oxygen content

A

low oxygen content

45
Q

pulmonary vein oxygen content

A

high oxygen content

46
Q

Cardiac Output (Q)

A

Q = HR x SV

47
Q

exercise effect on CO

A

↑ with ↑ exercise intensity.

48
Q

resting CO

A

Q ~5.0 L/min

49
Q

Ventilatory Response to Exercise equation

A

Ventilation (VE) = tidal volume (VT) x breathing frequency (Bf)

50
Q

Pulmonary ventilation during dynamic exercise

A

Start of exercise accompanied
by immediate increase in ventilation.
Increase may occur before
onset of muscle contractions
(anticipatory response)

51
Q

Pulmonary ventilation during dynamic exercise

A

2nd phase of respiratory increase more gradual (for heavy exercise).
Controlled primarily by changes in
chemical status of arterial blood.
*↑ in pulmonary ventilation during exercise directly proportionate to
metabolic needs of exercising muscle.
* At higher intensities, rate of
respiration also increases.
* At low intensities, accomplished via ↑ in tidal volume (amount of
air moved in & out of lungs).

52
Q

Most commonly used measure of respiratory function with exercise

A

VO2 (volume of oxygen uptake)

53
Q

Increase in Ventilation in Relation to Exercise Intensity

A

VE increases linearly with work rate up to lactate threshold
* VE increases more rapidly after the lactate threshold

54
Q

v02max

A

the amount of oxygen taken up and used by the body

55
Q

why does VO2 increase linearly with increases in exercise intensity.

A

due to an increasing reliance on oxygen to help provide energy as exercise continues.
