A

Increases with increasing intensity.

Decreases when dilation of blood vessels occur, caused by constant intensity.

63
Q

VO2 Max is equal to?

A

a-vo2dif =

  • a = arterial content of O2 = 20mL
  • O2 content of Mixed venous blood = 15 (example)

VO2 = 5mL

64
Q

What is the systemic average A-Vo2 diff at rest?

What is the systemic average A-Vo2 Diff at max exertion?

A

5mL, systemically. Leaving only 15 mL of O2 coming out of veins (20-15= 5)

15mL. Leaving only 5 mL of O2 coming out of veins. (20-15 = 5)

65
Q

What is the correlation between A-Vo2 diff and level of fitness?

A

Increased fitness is associated with increased A-Vo2 Diff because of better extraction of O2 and better distribution of the blood.

A

Right atrium.

71
Q

During heavy exercise, what fuel source does the heart use the most?

A
