Cardiovascular system Flashcards
Gaseous exchange (external) at rest
Oxygen + CO2
At the alveoli:
PPO2 is high
PPCO2 is low
In the blood:
PPO2 is low
PPCO2 is high
Gases travel from high PP to low PP
Gaseous exchange (external) with exercise
In the alveoli:
PPO2= high
PPCO2= low
In the blood:
PPO2= highER
PPCO2= lowER
Control (VCC)
Vascular shunt
Chemoreceptors
increase acidity
Proprioceptors
increase movement of the blood
Baroreceptors
increase blood pressure
CCC
Heart Rate
RCC
Breathing
Cardiac cycle
A systole, AV node, BoH, purkinje fibres
What happens to SV as exercise intensity increases?
increases until sub-max then gradually decreases
What affects SV
venous return- sterlings law (as much blood returns) ventricular stretch (more blood=ore contraction) aortic and pulmonary artery pressure
explain the journey with vascular shunt
arterioles - capillary beds - vasoconstrict/ dilate
Inspiration at rest
external intercostal muscles pull ribcage up and out - diaphragm contracts - volume of thoracic cavity decreases, pressure increases - gases move high to low and air moves in
Expiration at rest
opposite of inspiration
Inspiration during exercise
same as rest but greater- sternocleidomastoid moves ribs forcefully
