Cardiovascular Exercise Responses (including prep lectures Flashcards
diastole
T-wave to QRS
systole
*there is overlap bc atria fill while chambers contract
QRS to T wave
End- diastolic volume
amount of blood in ventricles just prior to contraction
End-systolic volume
amount of blood left in ventricles just after contraction
isovolumeric vs. isovolumetric contraction
isovolumeric is the contraction while inlet and outlet valves are still closed, isovolumetric is the heart contraction that pushes blood out through the valves
ejection phase-
while inlet valves are closed and outlet valves are open
isovolumeric relaxation
all valves closed, pressure falls rapidly. When pressure of ventricles
parasympathetic control of the heart
vagus nerve controls SA node from rest to moderate activity. parasympathetic nerves are in atria and surround nodes
sympathetic control of the heart
chain ganglia have nerves all over the heart anatomy
VO2max equation
VO2max= Q (HR*SV) * aVO2 difference
components of SV
Preload
Afterload
Contractility
HR
- SV equation
- how does it change graphically with work
- end diastolic volume- End systolic volume
- increases curvilinearly until it reaches max at 50% aerobic capacity and my increase slightly from there
Why does resting HR increase with age
likely due to decreased parasympathetic control
- ventilation
- respiration
- air in and out
- exchange of O2 and CO2
Ventilation equation
VE=TV*f in liters/min
during mild-moderate exercise, VE is increased by _____. During vigorous exercise, _____
-increased tidal volume, increased breathing rate
Tidal volume & RR increases until, ____% of peak exercise, then ____
-70-80%, RR^
What is AT/LT/VT
lactate threshold; where blood becomes acidic and harder to clear. How well you clear it determines endurance. This is also the ventilatory break point
venous constriction (or really just decreased compliance results in what things?
- increased pressure in peripheral veins without change in resistance
- increased venous return
- increased bloof flow to heart
- increased preload (thus Frank starling mechanism)
