Cardiac Output Flashcards
Formula for Cardiac Output
CO = SV (stroke volume) x HR (heart rate)
Formula for Cardiac Output
CO = SV (stroke volume) x HR (heart rate)
What 2 systems affect the HR and SV?
The Nervous System and Reflex arcs
-these are extrinsic regulatory systems

Preload (Starling’s Law)
Preload
- The amount of blood that goes into the ventricles
- Filling takes place
- slight increase in sarcomere length
Preload
- The amount of blood that goes into the ventricles
- Filling takes place
- slight increase in sarcomere length
- affects EDV
Afterload
-the amount of pressure that the ventricle must overcome to pump blood out
