Cardiovascular & Respiratory Syetm Flashcards
Define heart rate
The amount of times your heart beats per minute
Define stroke volume
The volume of blood pumped out of the left ventricle of the heart during each beat
Define cardiac output
The amount of blood ejected from the heart per minute
Formula for cardiac output
HR X SV = Q
What is the heart rate of an untrained performer at rest
70-72bpm
What is the stroke volume of an untrained person at rest
70ml
What is the cardiac output of an untrained person at rest
5 l/min
What is the heart rate of a trained person at rest
50bpm
What is the stroke volume of a trained person at rest
100ml
What is the cardiac output of a trained person at rest
5 L/min
What is the diastole phase of the cardiac cycle
The relaxation phase where the heart fills with blood
What is the atrial systole phase of the cardiac cycle
The atria contracts which forces remaining blood into ventricles
What is ventricular systole in the cardiac cycle
Where the ventricles contact, increasing pressure which closes the av valves to prevent back flow
What is the conduction system
SA node
Av node
Bundle of his
Bundle branches
Purkyne fibres
What is the HR of an untrained person during exercise (sub maximal)
100-130bpm
What is the SV of an untrained person during exercise (sub maximal)
100-120ml
What is the CO (Q) of an untrained person during exercise (sub maximal)
10-15 l/min
What is the HR of an untrained person during exercise (maximal)
220-age
What is the SV of an untrained person during exercise (maximal)
100-120ml
What is the CO (Q) of an untrained person during exercise (maximal)
20-30 l/ min
What is venous return
Volume of blood that returns from the body to the heart
What is the Frank starling mechanism
SV is dependent on VR
Increased SV leads to an increased stretch on ventricle walls and therefore force of contraction
How does neural control regulate heart rate
Chemoreceptors- detect chemical change
Baroreceptors- stretch on vessel walls
Proprioceptors- motor activity
How does intrinsic control regulate HR
Temperature
Venous return
How’s does hormonal control regulate HR
Adrenaline and Noradrenaline
What is the sympathetic Nervous system
Responsible for increasing heart rate (especially during exercise)
What is the parasympathetic nervous system
Responsible for decreasing heart rate during recovery
