Exam Flashcards
What is Blood pressure?
Average force exerted by blood against vasculatrue
What are the primary determinants of blood pressure
- Cardiac Output
- Peripheral Resistance
What is mean arterial Pressure?
Average driving pressure during cardiac cycle
How do you calculate mean arterial pressure and why is it calculated this way?
MAP= DBP + [1/3 (SBP - DBP)]
where (SBP - DBP) is pulse pressure
1/3 relates to the time spent in systole compared to diastole
Why might diastolic BP be high
Vasculature problems
- hardening of arteries
-blockage in blood vessels
How does BP respond to dynamic exercise?
-DBP remains relatively unchanged
-SBP increases by a modest amount (120 to 150)
-MAP increases slightly
How does BP respond to Resistance Exercise?
-Large increase in DBP and SBP (and MAP)
Why do the BP responses to resistance exercise occur
-Increase force generated in muscle
-Blood occlusion causes increase in BP
What is a reasonable value for SBP during resistance exercise
400 mmHg
What is a reasonable value for SBP in a hypertensive individual
200 mmHg
What is double product
HR x SBP
How does double product change during resistance exercise
increases by over 150%
How can Q, TPR and MAP be incorporated into the hemodynamics equation
Q= MAP/TPR
TPR: total peripheral resistance
Whole body level changes that occur between rest and exercise
-Total flow rate (Q) increase 5x
-Driving Pressure (MAP) increases 30%
-Resistance to flow (TPR) decreases 4x
What is a reasonable value for the MAP at rest
93 mmHg
What is a reasonable value for MAP during heavy exercise
120 mmHg
What is a reasonable value for TPR at rest and during heavy exercise
Rest: 19 mmHg
Ex: 5 mmHg
How does muscle blood flow increase so much during exercise?
Q redirected to where it is needed
-Vasodilation in active muscle and vasoconstriction in non-active tissues
-decreased resistance in active muscles and increased resistance in non-active tissues
Def: Ventilation
Air movement into and out of lungs
Def: Respiration
Gas exchange between tissues
-External: lungs
-Internal: tissues
Def: Tidal Volume
Air moved with each breath (Vt)
Def: Alveolar Volume
Fresh air which reaches alveoli (Va)
Def: Dead Space Volume
Air that does not reach alveoli and participate in gas exchange (Vd)
What components of the respiratory tract make up the conducting zone
Larynx, Trachea, primary bronchi, secondary bronchi, tertiary bronchi, smaller bronchi, bronchioles, terminal bronchioles
What components of the respiratory tract make up the respiratory zone
Respiratory bronchioles and alveolar sacs
What is the portion of tidal volume that is dead space volume compared to alveolar volume
Vd: 1/3
Va: 2/3
Def: Vital Capactiy
Volume of deep breath in or out
Def: Residual Capacity
Volume that is always in the lungs to prevent collapse
How is minute ventilation calculated?
Vt x f (frequency)
How is alveolar ventilation calculated?
Va x f
=(Vt-Vd)f
What is a reasonable value for tidal volume at rest?
500 mL
What is a reasonable value for breathing frequency at rest
12 breaths/min
What is a reasonable value for minute ventilation at rest
6000mL/min or 6L/min
What is a reasonable value for dead space volume at rest
150mL
What is a reasonable value for alveolar ventilation at rest
4200mL/min or 4.2L/min
