lecture 11: cardiovasc reg., functional capacity etc Flashcards
beta cells do dilation or constriction
dilation
alpha receptors do constriction or dilation
constriction
true or false;Any increase in energy expenditure requires rapid adjustments in blood flow
true
how does increase in energy expenditure (rapid adjustments in blood flow) impact the entire cardiovascular sysyem
takes blood from unimportant tissues (not needed for activity atm) and redistrubutes it to the needed muscle
During exercise, local arterioles of active muscles dilate or constrict
dilate
During exercise, vessels to tissues that can temporarily compromise their blood supply, constrict or dialte
consict
during exercise what is happes to the vessels of the active adn resting vessels
active muscle vessels dilate which inactive constriction
give an example of inactive muscle constricting to redistribute blood flow
ex: during running, your gut and kidney vessels will constrict and ur sksletel will dilate
what are the 2 factors taht contribute to reduced blood flow to non-active tissues:
Increased sympathetic nervous system outflow
Local chemicals that directly stimulate vasoconstriction or enhance the effects of other vasoconstrictors
true or false: Increased sympathetic nervous system outflow contribute to icnrease blood flow to non active tissues
false, DECREASE BLOOD FLOW
epinephrin released by sympatethic will active what types of receptors
beta and alpha
skeletal muscle blood flow couples to what
metabolic demand (will not waste sending oxygen if not needed)
how does regulation of active myscle flow occur
Regulation occurs from the interaction of neural vasoconstriction activity and locally derived vasoactive substances within the endothelium and red blood cells
at rest, what is happening at the capilary of sksletal muscle
only 1 in 30-40 capilarries remains open
because increase blood supply is not needed at rest
what are the 3 functions of the opening of dormant capilaries in exercises
Increase total muscle blood flow
Deliver a large blood volume with only a minimal increase in blood flow velocity
Increase the effective surface for gas and nutrient exchange between the blood and muscle fibers
true or false: you must increase blood velocity to increase the amounft of blood volume to tisse
false, you can just open dormant capilaries
vasodilation occurs from local factored related to what
related to tissue metabolism that act directly on the smooth muscle bands of small arterioles and precapillary sphincters
what are some local factors that act directly on vasodilation
Decreased tissue oxygen, local increases in blood flow, temperature, carbon dioxide, acidity, adenosine, magnesium and potassium ions, and nitric oxide production by the endothelial cells lining the blood vessels
can the venous side release vasodilatory factors>
yes if there needes to be active msucle
what is the function of nitric oxide
serves as an important signal molecule that dilates blood vessels and decreases vascular resistance
is NO a constrictor or dialtor
Dialator
what are exmaples of things that provoke NO synthesis and release
Stimuli from diverse signal chemicals, sheer stress and vessel stretch from increased blood flow through the vessel lumen
how is NO released
vascular endothelium
where are places that the endothelium produces less NO
In coronary artery disease (atherosclerosis), diabetes and other disruptions of normal cardiovascular function
(less. vasodilation)
what is cardiac output expresses
the amount of blood pumped by the heart during a 1-minute period
what deos CO reflect
functional capacity of the cardiovascular system
what is the formualte for cardiac output
Cardiac output = Heart rate x Stroke volume
what are 3 methods to assess cardiac output
Direct Fick
Indicator dilution
CO2 rebreathing
what does direct fick method express
Expresses the relationships among cardiac output, oxygen consumption, and a-vO2 difference
true or false: direct fick is complex?
true
Requires complex methodology usually performed in a hospital
how can you get CO from direct fick method
Measuring oxygen consumption involves open-circuit spirometry methods
Measuring a-vO2 difference involves a sample of arterial blood and from an anatomic “mixing chamber”, then sampling arterial and mixed-venous blood simultaneously
explain the indicator diluation method
A known quantity of an inert dye whose concentration curve can be measured in blood by light absorption is injected into a large vein
The indicator material remains in the vascular stream and then mixes in the blood as the blood travels to the lungs and returns to the heart before ejection throughout the systemic circuit
A photosensitive device continually assesses arterial blood samples and the area under the dilution–concentration curve reflects the average concentration of indicator material in blood leaving the heart
what two methods use open circuit spirometry
co2 rebreathing method
direct fick
explai nthe co2 rebreathing method
The same open-circuit spirometry method for determining O2 consumption in the typical Fick technique determines CO2 production in the rebreathing method
Using a rapid CO2 gas analyzer and making reasonable assumptions about gas exchange provides valid estimates of mixed-venous and arterial CO2 levels
Requires breath-by-breath CO2 analysis
Does not require blood sampling or medical supervision
One limitation is that exercise must be under steady-rate aerobic metabolism, restricting the method’s use during maximal and in the transition from rest to exercise
true or false: CO2 required blood sample
flase, it does not require sampling or supervision
what is one limitation of c02 rebreathing method
One limitation is that exercise must be under steady-rate aerobic metabolism, restricting the method’s use during maximal and in the transition from rest to exercise
true or false: cardiac output varies considerably during rest
true
what are some influencing factors or cardiac output at rest
Influencing factors include emotional conditions that alter cortical outflow to the cardioaccelerator nerves and nerves that modulate arterial resistance vessels
how can emotional conditions influence CO at rest
they alter corticol outflow to the cardioaccelerator nerves
what is an avergae CO at rest for men
5 L
what is the average CO at rest for women
4L
men or women have a higher cardiac output at rest
MEN
CO is mostly affected by SV or HR
SV
what are heart rates and SV for resting athetles
Heart rates in healthy endurance athletes generally average 50 beats/min at rest while the resting stroke volume averages 100 mL
what are the 2 factors that explain the large stroke vol and low heart rate of endurance trained atheltes
Increased vagal tone and decreased sympathetic drive, both of which slow the heart
Increased blood volume, myocardial contractility, and compliance of the left ventricle, all of which augment the heart’s stroke volume (traiininng ventircular muscles to pump more)
true or false: endurance athletes dont need to pump as much to get the same CO
true
how are sarcomeres arranged for endurance traininng
in series (allow for larger SV)
how are sarcomeres arranged for resistnace training
iin parallel (smaller SV)
