blood flow, drugs cardio vascular system Flashcards

1
Q

explain The redistribution of bloodflow during exercise?

A

working muscles need more oxygen and oxygen is attached to red blood cells in the blood. Your heart rate and stoke volume increases so more blood circulates every minute. Blood is diverted away from an active muscles and blood is shunted away from the stomach.

A

the amount of blood leaving the heart each beat

18
Q

what is the definition of systolic blood pressure?

A

the pressure when blood is being pumped out of the heart.

19
Q

what are the immediate effects on the cardiovascular system when we exercise?

A

increase in heart rate, stroke volume and systolic blood pressure

20
Q

what are the lads by term effect on the cardiovascular system when we exercise

A

lower resting heart rate
increased number of red blood cells
stronger heart reduces chance of coronary heart disease

21
Q

what is meant by cardiac output

A

the amount of blood leaving the heart per minute

22
Q

25
Q

what are the effects of having a unhealthy diet?

A

fats build up in blood vessels- high blood pressure and cholesterol

26
Q

what are the immediate effects of the respiratory system?

A

increase breathing rate, depth of breath, removal of carbon dioxide & increase in the amount of oxygen taken into the lungs in each breath

27
Q

what is oxygen debt?

A

the extra amount of oxygen required after anaerobic exercise compared with the amount normally needed when at rest.
