Q

What are the two major adjustments of blood flow w/ exercise

A

1) increased cardiac output: Q=HR*SV
2) restriction of blood flow from inactive organs to active muscle
– respiratory steal == redirect blood flow from legs to lungs to maintain respiratory
– thermoregulation == increase blood to periphery to decrease temp

Q

Explain one stroke volume

A

When the atrium is filling up the ventricles = “preload”
End diastolic volume = 100mL in the ventricles

–> systolic volume = 60mL in blood vessels and pump through body
–> End systolic volume (left over in ventricles) = 40mL at end of ventricular contraction [w/ squeezing movement not perfect and some blood stay in ventricles]

Q

Explain the pathway of drawing the Left-ventricular pressure-volume loop

A

1) isovolumetric contraction = ventricles contract with no corresponding volume change
2) ventricular ejection = as pressure increases, blood is ejected into the aorta
3) isovolumetric relaxation = ventricles relax with no corresponding volume change
4) ventricular filling = atrial contraction forces small amount of blood into ventricles

Q

Explain the initial stimulus that regulates cardiac output and what is the physiological response to both and result

A

1) high activity of sympathetic nerves to the heart –> increased SV due to stimulation of ventricular myocardium + increased HR due to stimulation of SA node ==== increase cardiac output

2) decreased activity of the parasympathetic nerves to the heart –>

25
What 2 things regulate the HR
1) parasympathetic nervous system --> via vagus nerve === inhibit signal from SA or AV to slow HR 2) Sympathetic NS --> via cardiac accelerator nerves, increase HR by stimulating SA and AV nodw
26
how does Ach decrease HR
stimulates mAch Receptors
27
What is released that increases the HR by stimulating Beta1-ADR
catecholamines release (NOREPI) - because + ions are rushing in === causes depolarization of the cell == easier to generate action potential - on Beta 1 == cause vasodilation
28
the initial increase in HR at the onset of exercise (up to 100pbm) is due to what
parasympathetic withdrawal --- allow sympathetic to take over
29
After 100bpm what causes increases the HR w/ exercise
sympathetic outflow
30
How can body temperature influence HR during exercise and why
if you have a high core body temp you will have an increase in HR - b/c the heart works harder to maintain perfusion pressure
31
men who have a higher blood volume have a higher/lower SV and higher/lower HR
higher SV and lower HR
32
Explain HR Variability
- variation in time b/t heart beats - measured at the R-R time interval (resting HR from peak to peak) using ECG tracing
33
What is the difference between wide and low variation in resting HRV (HR variability)
- WIDE variation = good index of "healthy" balance b/t SNS and PNS - time b/t beaks constantly changing - LOW variation = imbalance in autonomic regulation --> good predictor of cardiovascular dysfunction -- sympathetic SN taking over -- too much stress and cause cardio issues
34
What diseases promote decrease in HR variability
- depression - hypertension - heart disease = Myocardial infarction - physical inactivity
35
What are the three ways that stroke volume is regulated
1) end-diastolic volume (EDV) 2) Average aortic BP 3) strength of ventricular contractility (intropy)
36
How does EDV effect SV
volume of blood in ventricles at the end of diastole ("preload") -- more preload = more blood in ventriclesi more stretch on ventricles --> cause more contractility == Frank-Starling Mechanism.
37
if you have a high EDV = "preload" what happens to SV
increase in SV
38
Explain the Frank-Starling mechanism
-greater EDV results in more forceful contraction === b/c of stretch in ventricles ---> more stretch = more optimal position for contraction and more blood out means more blood in *** at rest is the optimal position - **depend on venous return** --> more forceful contraction
39
Venous return is increased by what 4 factors
1) Venoconstriction: smooth muscle in blood vessels use SNS to vasoconstrict and pump more blood 2) Skeletal muscle pump 3) Respiratory Pump 4) Frank Sterling Law
40
How does skeletal muscle pump effect venous return to the heart
- rhythmic skeletal muscle contractions force blood in the extremities towards the heart == push blood up through valves into the heart - one-way valves in veins prevent blackflow of blood
41
How does respiratory pump effect venous return to the heart
- changes in thoracic pressure pulls blood towards the heart --> w/ inhalation the diaphragm contracts and changes the pressure in the lungs and moves the blood up --> exhalation gets blood to go down into the heart
42
The filling time of the heart is affected by what two factors
1) heart rate = if you have a high HR then you will have a lower filling time and lower preload 2) body position
43
How is your end diastolic volume effected by body position
STANDING: lower stroke volume (blood pools in legs) SUPINE: higher stroke volume (blood evently distributed in veins --> increased central venous pressure --> increased end-diastolic volume --> increased SV --> increased pulse pressure
44
If you are lying supine for long periods what happens to. your body to decrease the central pressure increase
begins to decrease the amount of RBCs to decrease the blood volume so the pressure is lower
45
How does the average aortic blood pressure regulate SV
pressure in the ventricles must overcome the pressure and pump against to open the valve and eject blood ("afterload")
46
Explain what afterload is
the pressure the ventricles must pump against to eject blood during contraction - amount of resistance the heart must overcome to overcome to open the aortic valve and push the blood volume into systemic circulation - afterload is represented by the knot at the end of the balloon --> to get air out, the balloon must work against that knot
47
Explain what preload is
left ventricular end-diastolic pressure == amount of ventricular stretch at the end of diastole - heart loading up for the next big squeeze of ventricles during systole - blow air into the balloon and it stretches --- the more air you blow in the greater the stretch
48
Is stroke volume directly or indirectly proportional to the afterload
inversely proportional
49
If you have lower afterload what happens to the stroke volume
if you have less afterload and the same pressure there will be more blood flow because the "door" is open longer and easier for the blood to leave
50
With a low end systolic volume and low ventricular pressure what type of SV does it create?Afterload?
increased SV
51
How does the strength of ventricular contractility (intropy) effect SV
if you have higher contractility it increases SV == enhanced by: 1) circulating epinephrine and norepinephrine 2) direct sympathetic stimulation of the heart
52
What type of stimulation causes ventricular contractility
sympathetic stimulation - more or less intropy = less binding of catecholamines = not as forceful contraction = more binding of catecholamines = more Ca2+, KK into cell for muscle contraction
53
if you have higher inotropy (ventricular contractility) how does it effect SV
increase SV
54
For the LVP diagram how does the graph shift from control for increased preload, increased afterload, and increased intropy
- higher preload shifts RIGHT - higher afterload shifts UP: higher venous return - higher inotropy shifts LEFT: more forceful contraction
55
What is the initial stimulus for regulation of SV
- high venous return and high sympathetic activity or epinephrine
56
How does high venous return and high sympathetic activity or epinephrine effect the ventricle and contractility
in the ventricle it increases end-diastolic volume and increases contractility causing an increase in SV --> ALSO: less arterial pressure (afterload)W
57
what are the factors that regulate cardiac output Q = HR * SV
HR: parasympathetic inhibit and sympathetic nerves promote SV: sympathetic nerves and Frank-starling (increase stretch) causes increase contraction strength, increase in end-diastolic volume -- MAP (afterload) inhibits stroke volume
58
How does the left-ventricular diagram change with exercise
overall increases size of the diagram on all sides except the bottom High SV during exercise due to: - high EDV (preload) - high ventricular contractility (inotropy)
59
What is the Fick Equation
VO2 = Q * (a-v)O2 difference
60
what is the effect of exercise on oxygen demand on muscles
with exercise - oxygen demand by muscles during exercise is 15-25x greater than at rest
61
What is the difference between hemoglobin and myoglobin
hemoglobin: anywhere in blood flow within the body myoglobin: only found within muscle cells and transport oxygen w/i muscles
62
What two factors allow increased O2 delivery during exercsie
1) increased cardiac output 2) redistribution of blood flow: from inactive orans to working skeletal muscle
63
Up to 40-60% of the VO2 max cardiac output is effected due to what
- increased HR - increased SV highQ =highHR * highSV
64
if an individual is exercising at a VO2 max greater than 40-60% cardiac output is effected by what
an increase in HR because SV BEGINS TO PLATEAU
65
How do you predict Max O2 uptake using submax HR values
use predicted Hr max and values from submax HR exercise to predict VO2max
66
if an individual has a greater aerobic capacity will they have a higher or lower VO2 max
higher VO2 max
67
With untrained individuals how does SV change during exercise
- at high HR, filling time is decreased == cause SV plateau at around 40% of VO2max - decrease in EDV and SV
68
How does SV change during supine and upright exercise
Supine position: higher SV and have overall higher volume of output (EDV higher in supine - no pooling in legs) Upright position: lower SV
69
How is blood redistributed during exercise
- more blood flow to skeletal muscle: less now to liver, kidney, GI tract (inactive organs) * O2 consumption high if easier to breathe = VO2 max does not change only submax VO2 changes ** easier to breathe = more blood flow to legs
70
redistribution of blood flow during exercsie is dependent on what
metabolic rate - use local regulation to move blood flow to certain areas
71
Explain local (auto regulation) of blood flow during exercise
- control blood fow by increase in metabolites (ie. nitric oxide == vasodilation), prostaglandins (made at sights of inflammation) , ATP, adenosine...) - work together to promote vasodilation and increase blood flow to working muscles
72
What does nitric oxide do for blood flow
is vasodilator (found in beets) better blood flow during exercise
73
how does the (a-v) o2 difference change during exercise
higher A-V difference - increase during exercise due to higher O2 uptake in tissues -- used for oxidative ATP production ** is muscle consumes high O2 = larger gradient of O2 to move from arteries into tissue.
74
How does the arterial O2 consumption change during exercise
CaO2 (arterial) --> stays constant
75
How does the venous O2 consumption change during exercise
As you consume more O2 the venous content has less O2 ** you want to increase oxygen consumption if youre exercising more - slide 80
76
What is the emotional influence on a heart
- higher HR and BP in emotionally charged environment b/c increase in SNS activity - increase pre-exercise HR and BP
77
Explain what happens to the heart at the transition from rest to exercise
at oneset of exercise: - rapid in crease in HR, SV, and Cardiac output - plateau in submax (below lactate threshold) exercise
78
Explain HR and Q during graded exercise
- increases linearly w/ increasing work rate - reaches plateau at 100% VO2 max
79
What happens to BP with graded exercise
MAP increases linearly - systolic BP increases - diastolic BP remains fairly constant
