Q

What is the Frank starling mechanism

A

SV is dependent on VR

Increased SV leads to an increased stretch on ventricle walls and therefore force of contraction

28
Q

What is the vascular shunt mechanism

A

Redistribution of blood flow from one area to another

29
Q

What is vasodilation

A

is the widening of a blood vessel to increase the volume of blood delivered to active areas.

30
Q

What is vasoconstriction

A

Vasoconstriction is the narrowing of the blood vessel to restrict the volume of blood

31
Q

What is the VCC

A

Vascular Control centre
Responsible for the distribution of CO

32
Q

What are the 5 mechanisms of venous return

A

1 pocket valves
2- smooth muscles
Gravity
Muscle pump
Respiration pump

33
Q

What do pocket valves do

A

Prevent Back flow of blood

34
Q

What is a negative of pocket valves

A

Blood pooling

35
Q

What do smooth muscles do (venous return)

A

Vasoconstricts to create vasomotor tone which aids the movement of blood back to the heart

36
Q

What are pre-capillary sphincters

A

Rings of smooth muscle at the junction between arteries and capillaries- to control blood flow

37
Q

What is the primary aim of the respiratory system

A

To bring blood into contact with atmospheric air so that o2 can be taken in and co2 removed

38
Q

What is primary ventilation

A

Breathing air in and out of lungs

39
Q

What is external respiration

A

Exchange of o2 and co2 between the lungs and blood

40
Q

What is internal respiration

A

Exchange of o2 and co2 between blood and the muscles

41
Q

How is oxygen carried

A

Haemoglobin and plasma

42
Q

How is carbon dioxide transported

A

Dissolved in water
Carried in haemoglobin as carbaminohaemoglobin

43
Q

What is tidal volume

A

Volume of blood inspired or expired per breath

44
Q

What is the resting volume of tidal volume

A

500ml per breath

45
Q

What is the change due to exercise for tidal volume

A

Increases up to 3.5 litres

46
Q

What is breathing rate

A

The number of breaths taken in one minute

47
Q

What is the resting volume of breathing rate

A

12-15 breaths

48
Q

What is the change due to exercise for breathing rate

A

Increase : 40-60 breaths
