Taylor- CV response to exercise Flashcards
Locomotion/exercise exerts a global stress on the cardiovascular system by rapidly increasing _____
metabolic demand (O2 demand to skeletal m.)
what increases up to 5 times with exercise compared to resting level
cardiac output (CO)
___% of cardiac output may go to active muscle during exercise
> 80%
what 4 things happen in response to exercise
- anticipation (fight or flight)
- vasodilation
- baroreceptor reflex
- muscle pump
Immediately before activity begins, a “fight or flight” response is initiated – very brief spike in sympathetic outflow
anticipation
what overcomes sympathetic vasoconstriction during exercise
active hyperemia
what reduces SVR in active muscle
vasodilation
during exercise, there is a large-scale skeletal m. vasodilation and drop in SVR which reduces arterial pressure, how do baroreceptors respond and why
HR and contractility increase as does vasoconstriction—>to maintain bp (MAP)
what increases allowing for modest but sustained increase in arterial pressure during exercise
the “set point”
dynamic contraction of skeletal m. that enhances blood and lymph flow
muscle pump
dynamic contraction of skeletal m. that enhances venous return to heart
muscle pump
what needs to keep up with extra blood flow to the tissues
lymph flow
additional feature of exercise that is released and causes vasodilation enhanced blood and lymph flow
histamine
neurotransmitters released from adrenal medulla during exercise
Epi and NE
Stretch and chemical receptors in active muscle signal to medulla - potentiate sympathetic drive
muscle reflexes
Initially, skin vasculature constricted by ____
sympathetic outflow
With sustained or intense activity, heat stress and high sympathetic outflow increase _____ to sweat glands
sympathetic cholinergic outflow
effects of sympathetic cholinergic outflow
sweat and vasodilation
