Q

trained vs untrained glucagon concentration

A

as one gets trained, glucagon concentration no longer increases during exercise because NE and E can mobilize faster
only untrained individuals rely on glucagon and insulin (on top of NE and E)

Q

hormone-substrate interaction

A
  • FFA mobilization dependent on hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL)
  • FFA mobilization decreases during heavy exercise
  • due to high levels of lactic acid (promotes resynthesis of triglycerides) the more lactic acid in the system the more FFA reduces
  • elevated H+ concentration inhibits HSL
  • inadequate blood flow to adipose tissue
  • insufficient albumin to transport FFA in plasma

25
Q

pulse pressure

A

difference between systolic and diastolic blood pressure
- some people develop isolated systolic hypertension which is increased pulse pressure

26
Q

mean arterial pressure (MAP)

A

how much blood flow your tissues are receiving
MAP = DBP + 0.33 (SBP-DBP)

27
Q

hypertension (threshold, types, risks)

A
  • bp over 130-140/90
  • types: primary (essential) hypertension: cause unknown/ stiff blood vessels 90% of cases, secondary hypertension: result of other disease usually kidney
  • risk factor for: left ventricular hypertrophy (precursor for heart failure), heart attack, atherosclerosis, kidney damage, stroke
28
Q

determinants of mean arterial pressure (MAP)

A
  • cardiac output
  • total vascular resistance
    MAP= cardiac output * total vascular resistance
    (like ohms law, voltage=current*resistance)
29
Q

short term regulation of BP

A
  • use sympathetic nervous system to activate baroreceptors in aorta and carotid arteries
  • increase in BP= decreased SNS activity
    -decrease in BP= increased SNS activity
30
Q

long term regulation of BP

A
  • kidneys via control of blood volume
  • often with use of diuretics
  • reduces blood volume which reduces stroke volume which reduces cardiac output which decreases MAP
31
Q

Post exercise hypotension

A

during exercise BP is high and post-exercise it goes below resting BP
indicates how chronic training can reduce your BP (exercise intensity-dependent)

32
Q

Blood hormone concentration

A

the effect of a hormone on a tissue is determined by the plasma concentration and number of active receptors

33
Q

plasma concentration is determined by***

A
  • rate of secretion of hormone from endocrine gland, magnitude of input, stimulatory vs inhibitory input
  • rate of metabolism or excretion of hormone, inactivation near the receptor and/or metabolized by the liver and kidneys
  • quantity of transport protein, steroid hormones and thyroxine are transported bound to plasma proteins
  • change in plasma volume, hormone concentration goes up with less blood volume and vice versa
34
Q

factors that influence the secretion of insulin

A

high plasma glucose, high plasma amino acids stimulate pancreatic islet beta cells, insulin is secreted to normalize them
nervous system also impacts insulin secretion

35
Q

Magnitude of hormone effect depends on

A
  • concentration of hormone (blood volume)
  • affinity of receptor for hormone
  • number of receptors on the cell
36
Q

downregulation

A

decrease in receptor number in response to high concentration of hormone
ex) high cortisol in bloodstream for a period of time leads to decrease in cortisol receptors to prevent cortisol from attacking proteins and tissue

37
Q

upregulation

A

increase in receptor number in response to low concentration of hormone
- have not performed exercise in a while, so when you exercise, HR and BP go super high because stress hormone concentrations are low, so receptors are high

38
Q

Mechanisms of hormone action

A
  • activation of genes to alter protein synthesis (steroid hormones)
  • activating second messengers in the cell via G protein (cyclic AMP, Ca++, inositol triphosphate, diacylglycerol)
  • altering membrane transport (insulin via tyrosine kinase)
39
Q
  1. Mechanism of Steroid Hormone action
A

steroids rely on transport proteins
1. hormone passes through plasma membrane (made of cholesterol (fat), phospholipid membrane (fat) so it can cross
2. inside target cell, the hormone binds to a receptor protein in the cytoplasm or nucleus
3. hormone-receptor binds to hormone response element on DNA in nucleus, regulating gene transcription
4. creates response (protein synthesis)

40
Q
  1. cyclic AMP second messenger mechanism
A
  • some hormones cannot cross cell membranes so they rely on second messengers
    1. hormones bind to receptor on cell membrane
    2. activate GDP -> GTP -> ATP-> CAMP (cyclic AMP)
  • cyclic AMP is the second messenger used to deliver action, it goes down biochemical pathways to create cellular response
41
Q

contraction of the heart depends on…

A

…electrical stimulation of the myocardium

42
Q

low resting heart rate can mean

A
  • you are an endurance athlete
    or
  • you have a damaged pacemaker (HR gets lower with each redundant mechanism)
43
Q

conduction system

A
  • sinoatrial node (SA node)
  • atrioventricular node (AV node)
  • bundle branches
  • Purkinje fibers
44
Q

ECG and its parts

A
  • records the electrical activity follow
    1. P wave (atrial depolarization)
    2. QRS complex
    (ventricu;ar depolarization and atrial repolarization)
    3. T wave (ventricular repolarization)
  • ECG abnormalities may indicate coronary heart disease
45
Q

Diagnostic use of ECG during exercise

A

graded exercise test to evaluate cardiac function to see if coronary arteries are ok
- can be artherosclerosis (plaque in coronary arteries)
-can be ST-segment depression (myocardial ischemia)

46
Q

cardiac output

A

amount of blood pumped by the heart each minute
Q=HR * SV
heart rate times stroke volume

47
Q

stroke volume

A

amount of blood ejected in each beat

48
Q

regulation of HR

A
  1. Parasympathetic nervous system, slows HR by inhibiting SA and AV node via vagus nerve
  2. Sympathetic nervous system, increases HR by stimulating SA and AV node via cardiac accelerator nerves
49
Q

why trained pop. has lower HR

A

low resting HR due to parasympathetic tone

50
Q

increase in HR at onset of exercise

A
  • initial increase due to parasympathetic withdrawal until 100 bpm
  • sympathetic nervous system takes over after 100 bpm
51
Q

Beta-blockade and HR

A

-beta-blockers compete with norepinephrine and epinephrine for beta-adrenergic receptors in the heart
- beta blockers reduce HR which lowers the myocardial oxygen demand
- they lower HR during sub and maximal exercise

52
Q

beta-blockers prescribed for

A

patients with coronary artery disease and hyper tension

53
Q

Heart rate variability

A
  • time between heart beats
  • wide variation in HRV is “healthy”, the baroreflex is working detecting change in BP
  • low HRV is a predictor of cardiovascular morbidity
  • not used often anymore as it doesn’t mean much
54
Q

Regulation of Stroke Volume

A

Average aortic blood pressure “afterload”
Strength of the ventricular contraction “contractility”
End-diastolic volume (EDV) “preload”

55
Q

average aortic blood pressure

A

“afterload”
pressure the heart must pump against to eject blood (mean arterial pressure)

56
Q

strength of the ventricular contraction

A

“contractility”
enhanced by circulating E and NE and by direct sympathetic stimulation of heart

57
Q

End-diastolic volume (EDV)

A

“preload”
volume of blood in the ventricles at the end of diastole

58
Q

frank-starling mechanism

A
  • the more the left ventricle is filled (EDV) the greater the stroke volume
  • depends on venous return
59
Q

venous return increased by

A
  • venoconstriction via SNS (can be exercise induced)
  • skeletal muscle pump (skeletal muscle contractions force blood toward heart)
  • respiratory pump (changes in thoracic pressure pull blood toward heart)
