Test Two Flashcards
function of endocardium
serves as protective inner lining of the chambers and valves
during exercise, why is blood flow towards apex of lung
increase the pressure of the system
thick blood has a higher
hematocrit and higher resistance to flow
how does the heart receive blood supply
coronary arteries
where does capacitance occur
veins and venules
what is the respiratory zone
exchange of gases between air and blood
where is pressure located during diastolic pressure
arteries
expiration at exercise is
active
what does nitric oxide do
promotes smooth muscle relaxation which results in vasodilation and increased blood flow
when standing, why is most of the blood flow at the base of the lung
gravity
how do beta blockers work
compete with epinephrine and norepinephrine for beta andrenergic receptors in heart, reduce HR and contractility which lowers the myocardial oxygen demand
what happens to stroke volume during prolonged exercise
gradual decrease due to dehydration and reduced plasma volume
what are type 2 alveoli
release surfactant 3%
changes in HR and blood pressure during exercise depend on what
type, intensity, and duration of exercise., environmental condition, emotional influence
at rest, was part of the nervous system has more control over the heart
parasympathetic
what is total lung capacity
amount of gas in the lungs after a maximum inspiration
what is the most abundant protein in blood
albumin
what is the conducting zone
conducts air to respiratory zone, humidifies, warms and filters air
reasons for sudden cardiac death during exercise for kids and adolescents
genetic anomalies of coronary arteries, cardiomyopathy, myocarditis
what does cardiac output depend on
training state and gender
what happens to double product during incremental exercise
increases linearly with exercise intensity
what happens during expiration
diaphragm relaxes, ribs pulled downward, volume of lungs decrease, pressure increases and intrapulmonary pressure raised
what is the pressure like in the pulmonary circuit
lower but has same rate of flow as systemic circuit
muscles of inspiration
sternocleidomastoid, scalenes, intercostals,diaphragm
