Q

glucose

A

aka. blood sugar
breakdown- glucose is released
absorbed- in intestines
in bloodstream- insulin helps regulate glucose levels in blood

glucose and amino acids used by cells for energy
glucose- main source of energy, helps chemical messengers in brain

after your body has used the energy it needs- leftover glucose is stored as glycogen in liver/skeletal muscles (body stores food for later use)

(tri/bi open-p/a close)

58
Q

what tools assist with the return of blood back to the heart?

A
  1. skeletal muscle pump
    -aids the return of blood to heart through veins
    -each contraction of muscle compresses the veins, the increase of pressure moves the blood
  2. thoracic pump
    -relate to breathing
    -difference in pressure between veins and body cavities push the blood from the veins in the abdominal cavity into the veins in the thoracic cavity

3.nervous system
vasoconstriction- cardiac output needs to be increased, nervous system sends signal to vein for slight constriction

59
Q

hearts electrical conduction system

A

cardiac muscles are excitable

special tissues in heart
- SA node “pacemaker” 70-80 beats per minute
AV node- allows contraction of heart (downward pushing blood to ventricles)
(ventricles contract bottom up)

contraction of heart leads to pumping of blood
when SA node is damaged AV takes control and becomes pacemaker

stimulation from the nervous system can increase overall heart rate

63
Q

stroke volume (SV)

A

amount of blood that is ejected from the left ventricle in a single beat (ml)

64

75
Q

angioplasty procedure

A

-involve inserting a short wire mesh tube, called a stent, into the artery during the procedure

76
Q

external respiration

A

external respiration- occur WITHIN lungs, involving the exchange of O2 and CO2

77
Q

internal respiration

A

exchange of gases at the tissue level, where O2 is delivered and CO2 is removed

78
Q

cellular respiration

A

cells use O2 to generate energy in the mitochondria of cells

79
Q

pulmonary ventilation (ve)

A

the exchange of air between the lungs and environment including inhalation and exhalation

80
Q

inspiration vs expiration

A

inspiration- active process (forced breathing)
air flows into the lungs due to increased lung volume following contraction of the diaphragm and intercostal muscles

expiration
passive process (not require much energy)
air is expelled from the lungs due to relaxation of the diaphragm and intercostal muscles

81
Q

how is ventilation controlled

A

breathing results from the contraction and relaxation of the inspiratory muscles and the expiratory muscles

dependent on stimulation of CNS

82
Q

a-VO2 difference

A

One way to determine how much oxygen has
been delivered to skeletal muscle
- measure the amount of oxygen in the arterial blood before it arrives at the muscle
- then measure the venous blood that drains from the same muscle afterwards (this is called the a-vO2 diff).

-difference between the amount of O2 in
the artery and vein reflects the amount of O2 that
was delivered to the muscle.

83
Q
  • External respiration
  • Internal respiration
  • Cellular respiration
A

External respiration occurs within the lungs and involves the exchange of
O2 and CO2.

  • Internal respiration refers to the exchange of gases at the tissue level.
  • Cellular respiration is the process in which the cells use O2 to generate
    energy.
84
Q

respiratory system function

A

supplies O2 to the blood, removes CO2 from the blood,
and regulates blood pH (acid-base balance)

85
Q

VO2 max

A
  • the rate in which you use
    oxygen during a maximal aerobic effort
    (ie. your aerobic capacity or cardiovascular fitness).
  • VO2max would theoretically occur at maximum
    stroke volume (SV), heart rate (HR), and a-vO2 diff
86
Q

what are the two respiratory system zones and functions?

A
  1. construction zones
    transport filtered air to the lungs
  2. respiratory zone
    gas exchange occur
    when reach respiratory zone air almost completely saturated with moisture
87
Q

grape like structure
300 million alveolar sacs
surrounded by a web of capillaries network of delicate elastic fibers

88
Q

how does gas exchange work?

A

air is made up of number of different gases including nitrogen, 02,c02

partial pressure of each gas can change depending on air pressure (barometric pressure)

by diffusion

89
Q

how does diffusion work?

A

blood becomes oxygenated and CO2 is removed

tissue - O2 delivered for metabolism and CO2 is removed

movement of gas, solid, liquid
high concentration to low concentration
* can only occur if a difference in concentration exists

90
Q

what factors effect diffusion?

A

size of concentration gradient
surface area
-lungs provide a large surface area
-minimal distance for diffusion of gases to occur, minimizes rate of gas exchange

91
Q

how is O2 and CO2 transported

A

O2 is absorbed in lungs by hemoglobin
-carried to peripheral tissues

CO2 in blood is moved into alveoli than exhaled from body

92
Q

Hemoglobin

A
  • protein in your red blood cells
  • carries oxygen to your body’s organs and tissues

-transports carbon dioxide from your organs and tissues back to your lungs

93

97
Q

what is an O2 deflects?

A

difference between oxygen required to perform a task and oxygen actually consumed

98
Q

what is a ventilatory threshold?

**?

A
