Q

What is the cycle of electrical stimulation that causes the heart to beat?

A
  1. The SA node generates an electrical impulse that spreads across the atrium.
  2. The Atrioventricular node receives the impulse and continues to sent the impulse to the lower left and right bundle branches of the ventricles.
  3. The Purkinje systemreceive the impulse, then stimulate contraction of the ventricles.

Q

Where does deoxygenated (venous) blood travel to in order to get to the right atrium and ventricle?

A

The inferior vena cavae returns blood from the trunk and lower extremities while the superior vena cavae returns blood from the heasd and upper extremities.

Q

What is the formula for MAP?

A

MAP = DBP + [.333 x (SBP - DBP)]

17
Q

What is cardiac output (Q)?

A

The amount of blood pumped by the heart in one minute.

18
Q

What is the formula for cardiac output?

A

Q = SV x HR
or
Q = (EDV - ESV) x HR

19
Q

What is stroke volume?

A

The amount of blood ejected per heartbeat

20
Q

What is the formula for stroke volume?

A

SV = EDV (end diastolic volume) x ESV (end systolic volume)

21
Q

Where does gas exchange occur in the respiratory system?

A

In the alveoli of the lungs

22
Q

Which muscles are involved in inspiration during exercise?

A
  1. scalene
  2. external intercostal muscles
  3. sternocleidomastoid
  4. pectoralis major
  5. pectoralis minor
23
Q

What is the movement of gas across a cell membrane called?

A

diffusion

24
Q

What is VO2

A

VO2 is the amount of oxygen used by the tissues of the body (oxygen consumption/oxygen uptake). Typically, it is related to the ability of the heart to transport oxygen via blood to the tissues and the ability of the tissues to extract oxygen.

25
Q

What formula represents VO2?

A

The Fick equation:
VO2 = Q x a-VO2

*a-VO2 is the difference in oxygen content between arterial blood and venous blood

26
Q

What is an alternative way for VO2 to be explained to clients?

A

In a way that’s relative to the individual’s bodyweight:

e.g., VO2 = 4.16 ml x kg x min

27
Q

What is maximal oxygen uptake (VO2 Max)?

A

The highest amount of oxygen that can be used at the cellular level by the body. This correlates well with levels of physical conditioning.

28
Q

What is resting VO2 typically calculated at?

A

3.5 ml x kg x min

29
Q

How high has VO2 max been calculated in elite endurance athletes?

A

80 ml x kg x min
