catdiovascuLr sustem Flashcards
what is the CCC stimulated by
chemoreceptors
baroreceptors
proprioreceptors
chemoreceptors
sense chemical chnages
detect chnages in c02
excerise, increase in c02
c02 important in controlling Hr
when increase in concentration of c02, stimulates sympathetic nervous system to increase HR
baroreceptors
detect changes in blood pressure
choose set point
any increase or decrease from set point, causes signal to be sent to medulla
increase in arterial pressure, increase in stretch of baroreceptors, reduction in HR
proprioreceptors
detect chnages in movement
exercise, detect change in movement
impulse then sent to medulla
sends impulse through sympathetic nervous system to SA NODE to increase HR
stroke volume
volume of blood pumped out out ventricles per contraction
stroke volume and venous return relaistoop
as venous return increases, so does SV
more blood coming back to heart, more blood leaving heart
starlings law
increase in venous return, greater diastolic filling phase, greater stretch of cardiac muscle, greater force of contraction, greater ejection fraction
heart rate
amount of times heart beats per minute
cardiac output
volume of blood pumped out of ventrixles per mintier
SVxHR
max heart rate calculation
220-age
max exercise graph
ananerobic excerise e.g sprinting
sub max exercise graph
straight line at top
aerobic exercise e.g jogging
steady as oxygen meets demand
what happens to cardiac output during exercise
increase due to increase in SV and HR but only increased until certain point, then plateaus
cardiac hupotrophy
cardiac muscle becomes bigger and stronger
bradycardia
reduction in HR to 60 beats per minute
heart disease
caused by smoking, low cholesterol levels, lack in exercise
coronary arteries supply oxygenated blood to the heart
coronary arteries become blocked up or narrowed by fatty deposits (atheroma)
process called atherosclerosis
arteries become less able to deliver as much oxygen to heart -causes pain agina
if one of the fatty deposits falls off it causes a blood clot which can cut off supply to heart causing heart attacks
benefits of exercise on the heart
keeps heart healthy
can pump more void around the body
makes heart bigger and strong (cardiohypertrophy)
increases SV
maintain flexibility of blood vessels
stroke
blood supply to brain is cut off
brain cells start to die
two types of strokes
HI
haemorrhagic-stroke occurs from weakned blood vessel supplying brain bursts
ischaemic-blood clot stops blood supply
cardiovascular drift
heart rate should stay same during steady state of exercise
instead slowly climbs-cardiovascular drift
decrease in pressure and SV but increase in HR
when environment is warm
caused by sweat, when we sweat some of lost fluid comes from plasma volume
decrease in plasma, reduces venous return and stroke volume
HR increases to maintain higher cardiac output to create more energy to cool body down
what are the two types of circulation
pulmonary-deoxygenated blood from heart to lungs, oxygenated blood back to heart
systemic-oxygenated bloody from heart and lungs, deoxygenated blood back to heart
characteristics of veins
blood at low pressure
thin muscular layers
contain valves
wide lumen
arteries
highest pressure
smaller lumen
cappileries
only wide enough to allow one red blood cell to pass through at given time
one cell thick meaning short diffusion pathway
relationship of pressure and vasodilation or construction
diastolic phase decreases due to vasodilation
systolic pressure
venous return
return of blood to right side of the body via the vena cava
venous return mechanisms
skeletal muscle pump
respiratory pump
pocket valves
skeletal muscle pump
as muscles contract and relax they change shape
compress on nearby behind causing pumping effect and more blood to be pumped up to heart
respiratory pump
as mucked contract and relax, change in blood pressure
chnage in pressure causes nearby veins to be compressed causi bc more blood back to heart
pocket valves
assure blood flows in one direction
open and closes to prevent blood back flow
diastolic pressure
pressure in blood vessels when ventricles are relaxing
systolic pressure
pressure in blood vessels when ventricles are contracting
