A

increase in receptor number in response to low concentration of hormone increases sensitivity
ex) stress hormone concentration was low after a period of no exercise many receptors are causing very high BP and HR in response to exercise

Q

glycogenolysis is related to

A

exercise intensity
high intensity exercise results in greater and more rapid glycogen depletion (around 75% VO2 max)

Q

Plasma epinephrine

A
  • stimulates glycogenolysis
  • high intensity exercise results in more plasma epinephrine
    faster glycogen depletion in high intensity rages is mediated by epinephrine
20
Q

control of muscle glycogen breakdown

A
  • under dual control
  • predominant mechanism: epinephrine-cyclic AMP (second messenger), via beta-androgenic receptors, E binds to B-receptor which uses cyclic-AMP which leads to glycogenolysis
  • backup mechanism: Ca++ calmodulin
21
Q

4 processes that maintain plasma glucose

A
  • mobilizing glucose from liver glycogen stores
  • mobilizing FFA from adipose tissue to spare blood glucose
  • gluconeogenesis from amino acids lactic acid and glycerol
  • blocking entry of glucose into cells, forces use of FFA
22
Q

Effectors from control for plasma glucose

A
  • slow acting: thyroxine, cortisol, growth hormone
  • fast acting: epinephrine, norepinephrine, insulin and glucagon
23
Q

Insulin vs glucagon roles

A
  • insulin uptake and storage of glucose and FFA, decrease during exercise and following training
  • glucagon released by pancreas to mobilized glucose and FFA during exercise, decreased following training
24
Q

2 adjustments of blood flow during exercise

A
  • increased cardiac output
  • redistribution of blood flow from inactive organs to active skeletal muscle
25
Q

pulmonary circuit

A
  • right side of heart
  • pumps deoxygenated blood to lungs via pulmonary arteries
  • returns oxygenated blood to left side of heart via pulmonary veins
26
Q

systemic circuit

A
  • left side of heart
  • pumps oxygenated blood to body via arteries
  • returns deoxygenated blood to the right side of the heart via veins
27
Q

layers of the heart

A
  • epicardium
    -myocardium (contracts)
  • endocardium
28
Q

cardiac vs skeletal muscles

A

Both: striated, contain contractile proteins and actin and myosin
- cardiac muscles are shorter and branched
- cardiac muscles are connected by incercalated discs
- cardiac muscles are aerobic and have many mitochondria gut only one nucleus
- skeletal muscle fibers have satellite cells

29
Q

phases of the cardiac cycle, how exercise impacts them

A
  • systole: contraction
  • diastole: relaxation
  • during exercise diastole gets significantly shorter
30
Q

Factors that influence arterial blood pressure

A
  • blood volume increase, HR increase, SV, blood viscosity, and peripheral resistance increase all cause an increase in arterial blood pressure
31
Q

mean arterial pressure (MAP), equation, regulation

A

average pressure in arteries
- cardiac output * total vascular resistance
MAP=DBP + 0.33(SBP-DBP)
- Short term regulation: SNS and baroreceptors (increase in SNS activity = decrease in BP)
- long term regualation: kidneys via control of blood volume, reduce blood volume -> decrease SV -> reduce cardiac output-> decrease in MAP
(similar to diuretics medication)

32
Q

pacemaker for heart

A

SA node (sinoatrial node)
- in right atria, initiates depolarization

33
Q

AV node (atrioventricular node)

A
  • passes depolarization to ventricles
34
Q

bundle branches

A

connect atria to left and right ventricle

35
Q

purkinje fivers

A

spread wave of depolarization throughout the ventricle

36
Q

electrocardiogram (ECG)

A

records electrical activity of the heart
- P wave, atrial depolarization
- QRS complex, ventricular depolarization and atrial repolarization
- T wave, ventricular repolarization

37
Q

cardiac output (Q)

A

Q= HR * SV

38
Q

Heart rate regulation

A
  • PNS via vagus nerve, slows HR by inhibiting SA and AV node
  • SNS via cardiac accelerator nerves, increases HR by stimulating SA and AV node
39
Q

3 effectors of stroke volume

A
  • Average aortic blood pressure, afterload
  • strength of ventricular contraction, contractility
  • end-diastolic volume (EDV), preload
40
Q

Average aortic blood pressure, afterload

A
  • pressure the heart must pump against to eject blood (MAP)
41
Q

strength of ventricular contraction, contractility

A
  • enhanced by circulating E and NE and direct sympathetic stimulation of the heart
42
Q

end-diastolic volume (EDV), preload

A
  • volume of blood in ventricles at the end of diastole
43
