Chapter 4 - Cardiovascular Concepts Flashcards
Where do the veins take their blood?
The veins take the blood toward the heart
Where does the arteries take their blood?
The arteries take their blood away from the heart.
Define and explain Blood Pressure
Blood pressure is the amount of blood being pumped out of the ventricles and exerting force against the arterial walls.
What is the average blood pressure for a human?
Explain what number is the systolic** pressure and what number is the **diastolic pressure.
The average blood pressure for a human is 120/80
Systolic is the top number (120)
Diastolic is the bottom number (80)
What is systolic pressure?
Systolic pressure is the amount of force exerted on the walls of the arteries when the heart contracts.
What is diastolic pressure?
Diastolic pressure is the amount of pressure exerted on the walls of the arteries as the heart is relaxed and fills up once again.
How many times does the heart beat per minute?
72 bpm
What is Stroke Volume?
Stroke volume is the amount of blood ejected from the left ventricle each beat.
What is Cardiac Output?
Cardiac output is the amount of blood that the heart ejects in one minute
What is VO2 Max?
How strong your heart and lungs are.
What are some of the benefits of cardiovascular training?
Decrease or increase resting HR?
What happens to your resting BP?
How does it help with your normal daily activities?
- Decreases resting HR
- Your resting BP normalizes
- It will improve your ability to do normal daily activities
What are the CANFITPRO guidelines for cardiorespiratory training each week?
canfitpro recommends 300 minutes per week of moderate-intensity activity or 150 minutes of vigorous activity each week.
What is the MAX HR formula?
(220 - age)
What is the formula for Heart Rate Reserve?
[(MaxHR - Resting HR) X Percentage) + Resting HR]
Label the HEART
