Heart And Lungs Test Flashcards
Name the functions of the cardio respiratory system
Removed metabolic by products from tissues
- supplies the muscles/organs with O2
- critical for performance
What is blood mostly made up of
Plasma
The section of the heart that carries deoxygenated blood is the:
Right side
What is a average ventilation rate at rest
6L/minute
Gas exchange at the tissue level would occur in which respiratory zone
Respiratory zone
Blood entering the heart from the brain would enter from the
Superior vena cava
Which of the following parts of the respiratory system is NOT part of the conduction zone?
Alveolus
Cardiac output is measured by heart rate multiplied by what?
Stroke volume
Hemoglobin is an oxygen carrying agent in the what?
Red blood cells
The top # of someone’s blood pressure represents _______ pressure?
Systolic
An example of a respiratory disease would be:
COPD, bronchitis, and asthma
An average heart will beat ___ times per minute at rest
60-80
The tricuspid valve lies between what?
The right atrium and right ventricle
Where is the sinus node located
Right atrium
What increases with exercise besides heart rate
Lung capacity
If someone is dehydrated will there pee be a light or dark colour
Dark
During inspiration which of the following doesn’t happen
Lung pressure increase
The innermost layer of smooth muscle that lines chambers of the heart is
The endocardium
A recommendation when exercising in the cold would be
Wear clothing that doesn’t hold sweat
- cover the head and extremities well
- dress in layers
What does arteries carry
Oxygenated blood
What are the main functions of the cardiovascular system
Transport of nutrients, oxygen, hormones to cells throughout the body, and removal of metabolic wastes
What is endocardium
Inner most layer of smooth muscle, lines chambers of heart and allows blood to flow smoothly
Myocardium
Thick/muscular middle layer, responsible for physically pumping the blood
Epicardium
Thin outer layer that helps protect heart
Name the 3 layers of heart (EME)
Endocardium
Myocardium
Epicardium
Ventilation
Proves/act of supplying something continuously with air
Tidal volume
Volume of air inspired/expired in a single breath, during regular breathing
Respiratory frequency
of breaths per minute
What is meant by VO2 max, how is it affected by exercise
Volume of oxygen that is consumed in a given amount of time. Elite athletes have a super high VO2 in take I
