Q

Cardiac output is the - of — ejected from a — per — (L/min)

* It is the product of — and the —
- volume ejected at each — x —-
- CO = – x –
* The textbook person* has a cardiac output of approximately 5 L/min
= ~70 ml x ~70 bpm = ~4,900 ml/min = ~5 L/min
* CO correlates with – , to account use the —
- CO is expressed as L/min/m? (2.5 - 4 L/min/m2)

Q

mechanics of starling law:
- actin and myosin are brought together as myocardium — this leads to increased — and increased —
- the increased overlap allows for more — to form and greater — to be generated , which mat involve in increased sensiitvity to —
- this is not a — relationsjop , if the muscle is stretched too much the number of cross bridge formed — and so does the force generated
- this is the same idea as the lenght tension rs

—> minimal room for—
- as preload is — more binding sites of action becomes —
–> so a — contraction is possible
- as the stretching continues beyond the optimal stretch , the overlap between the filments begin to —
- fewer cross bridges mean – force and eventuallu overlap will cease togther

Q

factors affecting preload:
- preload is an umberlla term to describe — during —
- so basically its a term that describes —
- ventricullar filling is affected by many things such as — of the atria , — pressure , — and the — of the blood in the cirulation
- each of these will impact n ventricular filling and so in return the stroke volume and cardiac output

A

gravity and filling volume

18
Q

blood volume and venous tone:
- the great veins act as capactance vesseles for — of the blood
—> viens contain — of total blood volume at any given time
- an increase in blood volume results in increased — and hence increased –
–> equally an increased — will also increase the —
- it follow then that low blood volume ( dehydration or haemorrage ) will — preload

  • blood returning to the heart has to work – gravity
    —> this is also true for atrial blood going to the –
    – > giraffes have blood pressure of ~260 mmHg (3.5 m of h20 )
  • when upright , this is a – factor for venous return
    –> this is basis of postural hypotesnion on standing
    –> this is especially true if – is suppressed or struggling
  • in supine ( lying flat) position the venous return is —
    –> this also contribute to pulmonary congestion sand othopenea
    –> breathlessness when lying glat as can occur in heart failure

Q

the muscle pump ( it bascially helps blood get back to the heart from ur feet) :
- veins have — that prevents back flow and only permit blood to move towards the heart
- in limbs large veins pass between — and are compressed as —-
–> to a lesser extent this happens an adjacent artery pulsates
- this compression displaces the blood and the presence of the valves mean it must go back towards the heart
- the pump is activity related , increased activity causes — venous return

A

muscle blocks
muscle contraction

21
Q

thoracic pump:
- the flattening of the — on — , – the abdominal pressure and — the thoracic pressure
– > blood moves from the — into the —

- the other link between preload and cardiac output is — which is also known as brainbridge reflex after work of arthur brainbridge
- — right atrial pressure when preload is increased will activate the — receptors in the –
- these afferent signals are processed in the —
–> the cardiovasuclar centre
—> similar to barorecpetor reflex
- will increase the atrial stretch so theres is an increase of — output and —
