Q

65
Q

70
Q

71
Q

Why does blood pressure decrease as it gets further away from the heart?

A

As the vessels get smaller he total surface area gets larger

72
Q

What is the arterio-venous oxygen difference?

A

The difference in oxygen concentration between the arteries and veins

73
Q

Why does the a-v O2 difference increase during exercise?

A

Muscles extract large amounts of oxygen from the blood

74
Q

What affect does training have in the a-v O2 difference and why?

A

Increases because trained individuals can extract more oxygen from the blood

75
Q

The heart is myogenic, what does this mean?

A

It can initiate its own beat

76
Q

Where does the electrical stimulus of the heart start?

A

The Sino atrial node on the wall of the right atrium

77
Q

What does the septum do and why?

A

Prevents the signal passing directly from the atria to the ventricles because this would cause the ventricles to contract before they were full of blood

78
Q

What node does the electrical signal pass to after the SAN?

A

Atrio ventricular node

79
Q

Where does the AVN channel the signal to and what happens when it reaches there?

A

Apex - signal spreads throughout the walls of the ventricles through the purkinje fibres causing ventricular systole

80
Q

What is the cardiac cycle?

A

The time taken for the Hearts chambers to go through a complete cycle of contraction followed by a period of relaxation

81
Q

Define stroke volume

A

Volume of blood leaving the left ventricle per beat

82
Q

Define ejection fraction

A

Proportion of blood in left ventricle pumped out each beat

83
Q

Define cardiac output

A

Total volume of blood pumped out by the left ventricle per minute

84
Q

What is the formula to calculate cardiac output?

A

Stroke volume x heart rate

85
Q

What is starling’s law of the heart?

A

The greater the venous return, the greater strength of contraction

86
Q

Define cardiac hypertrophy

A

The increase in size of the heart that accompanies training

87
Q

What else is hypertrophy sometimes knows as?

A

Athlete’s heart

88
Q

Define bradycardia

A

The reduction in resting heart rate that accompanies training

89
Q

Define cardiovascular drift

A

An increase in heart rate that occurs during pro longed exercise that compensates for a decrease in stroke volume in an attempt to maintain cardiac output

91
Q

The automatic nervous system has two branches, what are the called?

A

The parasympathetic branch

The sympathetic branch

92
Q

What effect does the parasympathetic branch have on the SAN?

A

Impulses from this nerve cause heart rate to slow and the force of contraction to decrease

93
Q

What effect does the sympathetic branch have on the SAN?

A

Impulses from this nerve speed up heart rate and increase the force of contraction

94
Q

Why does training reduce resting heart rate?

A

Training increases stroke volume but has very little effect on cardiac output so heart rate is reduced

95
Q
