Cardiovascular System - Lecture 10 Flashcards
What happens to the cardiovascular effects of exercise? (2)
- sustained (steady state)
- O2 used = O2 taken in
What happens to HR during exercise?
it increases
HR during exercise is proportional to what?
work
How can you find your Max HR?
220-age (variable) and decreases as a function of your age
How much can your HR change during exercise?
3x or more (60 to 180 BPM)
Why does HR increase during exercise?
due to increase in sympathetic tone and decrease in parasympathetic tone
What happens to stroke volume during exercise?
it increases a little (in the situation in the notes, it dips)
What increases contractility in stroke volume during exercise?
sympathetic activity
At very high heart rates there is usually a ___ in SV.
fall
Why is there a fall in SV at very high heart rates?
- decrease systole
- diastolic period shortens much more
- filling time decreases
What happens to cardiac output during exercise?
it goes up linearly
What does CO mostly depend on during exercise?
HR
What is the factor for both HR and CO?
3
What does circulating epinephrine bind to on the SA node to increase HR and contractility?
b-receptors
What happens to MAP during exercise?
it increases a bit (20%)
What is the factor of increase in MAP compared to CO?
1.2 compared to 3
