Physiology week3 autonomic system Flashcards
what nerve is used from brain stem to fibres connecting to SA NODE
vagus
what does the SA node do
act as a pacemaker
can the SA node change due to sympathetic and parasympathetic changes
yes
what can effect inital onset of hr increase
arousal / anticipatory rise
what is the 2 things that effect regulation of stroke volume
end diastolic volume in the ventricles during pre load and aortic pressure
how does arterial pressure effect regulation of stroke volume
increase in cardiac afterload results in a decrease in SV during rest and contractility decreases
how is contractility effect regulation of stroke volume
the increase in contractions due to epe, noepe and SNS
what is starlings law
increased contractility and venous return results in a bigger SV and Q
HOW DOES VENOUS RETURN VARY- 3
vasoconstriction of veins
skeletal muscle pump and constriction
respiratory pump which changes the pressure
and valves
does SV and Q differ between public and athlete
yes
whats the equation for Q - cardiac output
HR X SV
what is systolic pressure
pressure during ventricular contraction
what is disatolic pressure
pressure in arteries during cardiac relaxation
what is pulse pressure
difference between diastolic and systolic
whats equation for MEAN ARTERIAL PRESSURE
DBP+ 0.33 (SBP-DBP)
