Cardiopulm Flashcards
Cardiopulm cellular activity:
increased O2 demand
increased CO2 production
cardiopulm circulation activity
increased HR
increased SV
cardiopulm ventilation activity:
increased TV
increased breathing frequency
What is HR
systole to systole
Diastole
relaxation phase
chambers fill
T wave to QRS
Systole
filling phase
chambers expel blood
QRS to T wave
when does atria refilling occur?
ventricular systole
how long does the cardiac cycle last
~0.9seconds or ~67bpm
Cardiac Cycle Phase 1:
Diastole
- ventricular filling: inlet valves open and outlet closed (rapid filling of atria to ventricles)
End Diastolic Volume
what happens for the final filling of the ventricles?
Atrial contraction
Cardiac Cycle Phase 2:
Isovolumetric Contraction
once ventricular pressure rises above atrial, the AV valves close (all valves are closed) thus creating S1 sound –> tensing wall and steep rise of pressure –> ventricular chamber geometry changes to spheroid
Cardiac Cycle Phase 3:
Ejection Phase
- inlet closed, outlet open
- V pressure exceeds atrial
about how much blood is ejected in ejection phase?
3/4 SV
Cardiac Cycle Phase 4:
Isovolumetric Relaxation
- inlet and outlet closed
- ventricle is closed and pressure falls rapidly
- when pressure falls below atrial, AV valves open
what is the purpose of the parasympathetic NS in cardiopulm?
housekeeping; SA node; light-moderate activity
what is the parasym NS innervation of heart?
Vagus N.
what is the purpose of the sympathetic NS in cardiopulm?
homeostasis, responds to various stim
near max and max effort
What are the hormones involved in symp NS in cardiopulm?
catecholamines - epi and norepi
What does norepi do?
increases myocardial contractility and blood flow
SA Node
pacemaker of heart
AV Node
intrincic rhythmicity slower pace than SA; can become dominant under certain circumstances; part of neuromuscular conduction system (Bundle of HIS and right and left bundles)
VO2 Max
Max O2 Consumption - a measure of cardiorespiratory fitness
VO2 Max Equation
VO2 Max = Q * arteriovenous oxygen difference
= SV * HR * AOD
Cardiac Output (Q or CO)
amount of blood pumped out of heart per unit time
cardiac output equation
Q = SV * HR
Stroke Volume (SV)
increases curvilinarly with work rate until reaches near max at about 50% aerobic capacity
SV equation
SV = EDV - ESV = end diastolic volume - end systolic volume
Frank Starling Mechanism
the more blood in the ventricle causes a greater stretch and contraction with increased force
What happens with SV in training?
increases
Heart Rate (HR)
likely will increase due to age due to decreased parasympatheic control
Max is all output effort
HR equation
HR = 220 - age
when does HR typically plateau?
in submax
what does a lower steady state HR do to the heart?
makes it more efficient
what generally happens to HR after 6months training?
decreases 10-30bpm
decreases are highest at greatest workloads
what happens to hr during max effort?
HR remains unchanged or decreases slightly to allow of optimal SV
Ventilation (VE)
is product of TV and breathing frequency
Ventilation equation
VE = TV * f
what happens to VE in min-mod exercise?
VE increases by increasing TV
what happens to VE in vigorous exercise?
increase breathing rate/frequency
What is the respiratory pattern in exercise?
- with light exercise, TV and RR increases up until 70-80% peak exercise
- after 80% peak, only RR increases
Residual Volume Equation
RV = FRC - ERV = (Functional Residual Capacity) - (Expiratory Reserve Volume)
Total Lung Capacity Equation
TLC = FRC + IC (Functional Residual Capacity + Inspiratory Capacity) TLC = RV + VC (Residual Volume + Vital Capacity)
Blood Flow in Exercise
increases at onset to support working skeletal muscle
stabilizes with a constant workload
incremental workload - linear increase
Where is the site of highest vascular resistance in blood flow?
arterioles - due to large pressure drop
Venoconstriction - where does it occur mostly
mostly in arteries; little change in venous resistance
What happens with decreased venous compliance?
increases P within veins and right atrium
increases P different b/n peripheral veins and right atrium
increases P gradient increases venous return to heart
blood flow is _______ proportional to cross-sectional area of vessel
inversely
what happens when tube length doubles
flow decreases by 50%
what happens when tube radius doubles
flow increases 16-fold
what happens when tube viscosity doubles
flow decreases by 50%
