LEARN Flashcards
as EDV increases
cardiac perfomance increases:
- longer muscle
- more cross-bridges formed
- stronger contraction
as ESV increases
decrease in cardiac performance due to a decrease in cardiac output
venous return
rate of blood flow back to the heart
ejection fraction
=sv/edv
between 55-75%
left coronary artery divides into
circumflex artery and the left anterior artery
circumflex artery
back and top portion of the heart
left anterior artery
left ventricle - septum
coronary veins
takes oxygen poor blood back to the right atrium –> already used by the heart
angiotensin 2
causes vasoconstriction (increasing TPR) as well as increasing water retension
blood pressurw
CO x TPR
TPR
total peripheral resistance
RAAS
stimulates feelings of thirst
blood pressure
120/80
heart rate
60-100
ventricle muscle
trabecular carnage
cardiac muscle
heart
skeletal
lungs
smooth
GI
peak flow
persons maximum speed of expiration measured using a peak flow meter
vital capacity
maximum vol of air which can be expelled form the lungs, when deepest breath take (304 litres)
VO2 max
max rate at which heart, lungs and muscles effectivey use oxygen during exercise
BOHR shift occurs
presence of CO2
ventilation rate
12-20 breaths a min
hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction
areas of the lungs which are oxygen deficient will vasoconstrict- forcing more blood to areas of the lung which are rich in oxygen –> more efficient–> improves ventlation/perfusion ratio
