Exercise Physiology Test 3 Flashcards
What is systole?
highest arterial pressure measured after left ventricular contraction
What is diastole?
lowest arterial pressure measured during left ventricular relaxation
what is normal BP
120/80
What is hypertension? number wise
140/90
Why is diastole still important?
It is the number that is constantly putting pressure on your organs
hypertension def
high blood pressure
What does the P-Wave signal?
Location?
First to go
Signals atria contracting (depolorizing)
What is the QRS Complex?
Signals the ventricles depolorizing
What is the T-Wave?
Charging up the ventricles (repolorization)
What is tachycardia?
sympathetic influence
cetecholamine release (norepinephrine/ Epi)
Speeds up heart rate
What is bradychardia?
Slows down heart rate
parasympathetic influence
acetylcholine released
What is VO2 Max in maximal oxygen consumption?
Max Q X Max a-vO2 difference
cardiac output X Maximum oxygen difference in arteries and veins
Def. of arteries
provides the high-pressure tubing that conducts oxygenated blood to the tissues
Def. of capillaries
site of gas, nutrient, and waste exchange
veins
provides a large systemic blood reservoir and conducts deoxygenated blood back to the heart
What is stroke volume?
amount of blood ejected from Left Ventricle per heart beat
