Exam 3: Objectives 48-51 Flashcards
what happens to blood flow during static exercise?
it’s reduced to the working muscle: vasoconstriction, increased resistance
what happens to blood flow during dynamic exercise?
it’s increased to the working muscles: vasodilation, decreased resistance
the last sound heard while cuff is being deflated
diastolic BP
what are the 3 variables that regulate stroke volume?
venous return, contractility, resistance
what are the afferent components of blood pressure regulation?
proprioceptors, baroreceptors, chemoreceptors
how can you regulate BP?
change CO, resistance, blood volume
where is blood pressure highest?
aorta and systemic arteries
what is the effect of positive chronotropic agents on HR?
increases HR
resistance in arteries to ejection of blood
afterload
what receptors receive the norepi and epi released by the sympathetic nervous system?
beta adrenergic on atria and ventricles
what regulates the firing of the SA node (and heart rate altogether)?
cardiovascular center of the medulla oblongata
what does the parasympathetic nervous system do to decrease HR?
releases ACh via Vagus nerve
what are the 3 factors that affect peripheral resistance?
vessel radius, vessel length, blood viscosity
volume of blood in the ventricles at the end of diastole (preload)
venous return
what is mean arterial pressure?
diastolic pressure + 1/3 pulse pressure
volume of blood pumped out each minute by the left ventricle
cardiac output
