Cardiovascluar System Flashcards
Which cardiovascular parameter is describes as the RELATIVE amount of blood pumped out of the left ventricle each heart beat, and the normal value at rest
- ejection fraction
- 55-60% at rest
which blood pressure responses should be expected during exercise?
- SBP increases due to muscular compression of arteries and veins
- DBP increases due to muscular compression of arteries and veins
which steps happen after SA node depolarization but before AV node depolarization?
- RA depolarizes and contracts
- LA depolarizes and contracts
what cardiac events correspond with the feature of the ECG waveform?
P wave- atrial depolarization from SA node
QRS- ventricular depolarization (from AV node) and atrial re-polarization
Twave- ventricular repolarization
How to the intervals change during vigorous exercise
HR- increases dramatically
PR- shortens a little
QRS- shortens
QT- decreases a lot
Which activity condition has the highest HR?
-aerobic exercise –> uses mitochondrial respiration, so there is an oxygen demand. as seen in an increase in breaths per minute to get O2 to the muscle tissues
which activity yields highest SBP and DBP?
Resistance exercise has the highest SBP and DBP. This is due to muscular compression on arteries and viens
which activity condition yields the highest mean arterial pressure?
resistance exercise. MAP is calculated by DPB + (.03 or .05 (SBP-DBP))
so if DPB and SBP are increased the most with resistance exercise, it will be shown in MAP values
which activity yields the highest total peripheral resistance (TPR)
Resistance training- TPR is calculated by MAP/Q.
if MAP is higher in resistance exercise because of higher SBP and DBP, then the TPR will be higher also.
resistance also has a low Q (around 6L/min) compared to aerobic (12L/min)
which activity yield the highest RPP
Aerobic Exercise- HR *SBP
-heart rate is much higher in aerobic. it has more of an impact than the high SBP in resistance training.
which activity hast eh highest SV
aerobic. Q/HR=SV.
increase HR but a much larger cardiac output for aerobic exercise than other types of training/rest.
Which would have the largest minute ventilation? (Ve)
aerobic. taking more breaths to get O2 to tissues
how did f (frequency of breath) and VT (tidal volume) influence the observed changes in Ve
taking more breaths, and increasing the tidal volume with aerobic exercise increase minute ventilation (Ve) the most. an increase was also seen from rest with resistance due to an increase number of breaths per minute, although there wasn’t a big increase in tidal volume
Pulmonary function in lab
partners scores were over by +25%. he is a swimmer…
what might the effect be of a restrictive lung disease such as pulmonary fibrosis on FVC and FEV1.0
- FEV 1.0 would decrease because it would take longer and more effort to expire all the air out.
FVC would decrease
-the ratio FEV1.0/FVC would be normal since both are effected
how might you use testing to screen an athlete for exercise-induced athsma
See if FEV 1.0 is different during exercise because it is harder to expire air
FVC would be the same because the athlete can still breath in the same amount .
-the ratio would decrease because FEV 1.0 is decreased and it is the numerator.
How is heart rate measure on an ECG
R to R (time interval) in ms.
what are the main purposes of the cardio vascular system?
- to deliver O2, nutrients and hormones to the tissue via blood
- removed Co2, waste products and metabolic intermediates from tissues via blood
what is the primary muscle tissue of the heart?
the myocardium
how do myocytes send signals quickly for cardiac contractions
through gap junctions. involuntarily and voluntarily controlled
which part of the heart receives de- oxen gated blood from the right atrium>
right ventricle
what are the two semilunar valves?
- aortic valve (from LV to aorta)
- pulmonic valve (from RV to pulmonary artery to lungs)
where is the SA node located and purposes?
in the RA
“pacemaker” b.c depolarizes at a regular rythem
autonomic nervous system also innervates, and can control HR (EPI and NOREPI)
what do purkinje fibers do?
in the right and left ventricles, stimulate to contract after receiving action potentials and depolarizing
what blood vessels direct blood flow?
ateries and arteriols. away from heart
which blood vessels have one way valves to direct blood return to heart?
veins and venules
What are the smallest vessels that permit gas exchange?
capillaries
