LESSON 16 - heart and circulation : peripheral Flashcards
when you have an increase work of muscle what does that mean for critical power and oxygen uptake ?
increase critical power and oxygen power
what does central delivery of oxygenated blood look like in regards for O2 delivery and O2 utilization ?
increase O2 utilization and delivery
what are the 5 parts of the cardiovascular system we talk about ?
- arteries
- arterioles
- capillaries
- venules
- veins
what do arteries do ?
carry blood away from heart
what do arterioles do ?
control blood flow, feed capillaries
what do capillaries do ?
provide site for nutrient and waste exchange
what do venules do ?
collect blood from capillaries
what do veins do ?
carry blood from venules back to heart
what part of the cardiovascular system takes deoxygenated blood and brings it to be deoxygenated ?
capillaries
which part of the cardiovascular system has the highest pressure/ highest resistance ?
arteries
between arteries and veins which are “thick and hard to collapse” ?
arteries
describe arteries :
- high pressure
- conducts O2 rich blood t tissues
- connect left ventricle to tissue
what do arteries and arteries connect ?
left ventricle to tissue
what do arteries and arterioles walls contain ?
circular layers of smooth muscle that constrict or relax to regulate peripheral blood flow
what are arteries and arterioles innervated by ?
sympathetic nervous system efferents
within arteries and arterioles does gas exchange occur ?
no gas exchange takes place between arterial blood and surrounding tissues
what does efferents mean ?
exitting heart
what does afferent mean ?
back to the heart
why cant gas exchange occur in arteries and arterioles ?
walls too thick
what is the only location of gas exchange ?
capillaries
describe capillaries :
network of microscopic blood vessels so thin they provide room for single red blood cells to squeeze through in single file
what products rapidly transfer across thin, porous capillary walls ?
gas, nutrients, and waste products
FILL IN THE BLANK
velocity progressively ________ as blood moves toward and into capillaries
decreases
what do porous help with ?
allowing stiff slip through
what is the normal cardiac output of arterial blood in litres ?
4-6 liters
describe blood flow response to 1-leg exercise in severe intensity vs moderate intensity :
- higher PO
- greater VO2
- not reaching study state
- increases in proportion with oxygen uptake / utilization requirements
what is hemodynamics ?
is how your blood flows through your blood vessels
what is the term used to describe how your blood flows through your blood vessels ?
hemodynamics
blood flow is required by all tissues and is dependent on what two factors :
pressure and resistance
describe pressure :
- force that drives flow
- provided by heart contraction
- blood flow from region of high pressure to region of low pressure
if there is no gradient what does this mean for flow ?
no flow
describe pressure :
- force that opposes flow
- provided by physical properties of vessels = cause pressure differential from arterial to venous circulation
what does vasoconstriction do for radius ?
decreases radius
what is the most important determinant of resistance ?
modification of vessel radius
what are the two modifications of vessel radius ?
vasoconstriction and vasodilation
what locations of the heart is blood flow from region of high pressure to region of low pressure
region of high pressure = LV & arteries
region of low pressure = RA & veins
