Q

what happens to sympathetic input to the heart with higher exercise intensity ?

A

the higher the exercise intensity, the more sympathetic input to the heart, the more the higher the contraction fo circulating catecholamines and the greater the contractibility will be

34
Q

why does HR increase ?

A

because we have an increase in sympathetic nervous system drive to the heart

Q

over time which organs decrease blood circulation to focus more on muscles during increased activity ?

A

GI tract organs (stomach, liver, etc)

36
Q

what are the two muscle pump effects ?

A

37
Q

38
Q

39

A

local vascular resistance

40
Q

what are the three types of arterioles (in regards to diameter) ?

A
  • vasoconstriction
  • normal arteriole
  • vasodilation
41
Q

define vasoconstriction :

A

reduce radius and increase resistance

42
Q

define vasodilation :

A

increase radius and decrease resistance

43
Q

between vasoconstriction and vasodilation which is non-active tissue ?

A

non-active tissue = vasoconstriction

44
Q

between vasoconstriction and vasodilation which is active tissue ?

A

vasodilation

45
Q

how many things are there in regards to the diversion of blood flow ?

A

5

46
Q

between the 5 things in regards to the diversion of blood flow; how many are vasoconstriction and how many vasodilation ?

A

vasodilation = 3

47
Q

describe the three vasodilation factors in regards to the diversion of blood flow :

A

  • flo-induced vasodilation
  • myogenic vasodilation
48

A
  • sympathetic vasoconstriction
  • circulating vasoconstrictors
49

A

yes always on

51
Q

what is the vasomotor tone ?

A

the end result of a complex set of interactions that control relaxation and contraction of blood vessels

52
Q

an increase in sympathetic activity leads to an increased or decreased vasoconstriction ?

decreased vasoconstriction

54
Q

what is another term for passive vasodilation ?

A

vasoconstriction

55
Q

what does an increase (more impulses) of sympathetic activity lead to in regards of NE and neurotransmitters ?

A

more NE and neurotransmitters to the smooth muscles

56
Q

where does sympathetic activity come from ?

A

coming from the CNS

57
