Q

what are the differences between the artery and veins?

A

arteries = have thicker muscular and elastic walls to handle higher blood pressures and volume leaving the heart
veins = thin walls and lower blood pressure further away from the pump. have valves that help prevent back flow

Q

what is the role of capillaries?

A

they are microscopic vessels between the arteries and veins whose walls only contain one layer of epithelial cells.
the walls allow blood cells to travel single file through them exchanging nutrients and waste between the blood stream and tissues

Q

why does the diastolic blood pressure stay the same as exercise intensity increase?

Q

what is BP’s response to upper body exercise?

29
Q

the myocardium has a significantly higher mitochondrial density compared with skeletal muscle. this allows the heart to utilize:

A

glucose, fatty acids, and lactate (coming from working muscle)

30
Q

how does endurance exercise effect myocardial metabolism?

A

it increased the ability to use lactate and fatty acids for fuel.
it increase mitochondria and aerobic enzymes
results in decreased reliance on carbohydrates

31
Q

what is myocardial infarction?

A

death of the myocardium
results from impaired blood supply

32
Q

what is the rate pressure product?

A

an estimate of myocardial work
= SBP x HR

33
Q

what are the differences in cardiac muscle compared to other types of muscle?

A

it is striated
contains intercalated discs that allow the electrical signal that causes contraction to spread across the myocardium in a specific manner resulting in coordinated contraction

34
Q

what is the path of depolarization of the heart?

A

-impulse spreads from the SA node throughout both atria
-reaches the AV node which delays the spread of the impulse and allows time for efficient blood flow
-travels into the left and right bundle branches then into the perkinje fibers

35
Q

what does an EKG do?

A

records the signal of the heart depolarizing

36
Q

what does each part of the EKG represent? (P wave, QRS complex, T wave)

A

p wave = depolarization of the atria
QRS complex = depolarization of the ventricles
T wave = repolarization of the ventricles as they recover from muscle contraction

37
Q

what is intrinsic regulation of heart rate?

A

inherent rhythm of the SA node
(in a closed system ~100 BPM)

38
Q

what is extrinsic regulation of heart rate?

A

neural: direction innervation
chemical: circulate via blood

39
Q

what are the two extrinsic influences on BP?

A

sympathetic and parasympathetic

40
Q

how does sympathetic affect the heart?

A

increases the work of the heart
catecholamines: chronotropic increase the rate, inotropic increase contractility
adrenergic fibers: key for smooth muscle tone

41
Q

how does parasympathetic affect the heart?

A

the relaxation response
slows the heart rate
vagus nerve: cholinergic fibers release ACh, which slows HR
as exercise begins there is a decrease in parasympathetic activity

42
Q

what determines the amount of blood flow?

A

the pressure differential from the beginning of the system to the end

43
Q

what is the equation for blood flow?

A

pressure gradient x vessel radius4 / vessel length x viscosity

44
Q

what can cause vasodilation?

A

temperature, CO2, pH, NO

45
Q

what can cause vasoconstriction?

A

epinephrine and norepinephrine

46
Q

what is nitric oxide?

A

produced and released by the vascular endothelium
causes relaxation of the smooth muscle and results in vasodilation

47
Q

what is cardiac output?

A

volume of blood pumped in 1 minute
Q = HR x SV

48
Q

what factors affect cardiac output (Q)?

A

venous return (amount of blood returning from the body)
diastolic filling (how much blood is in the heart chamber before contraction)
strength of contraction
parasympathetic nervous systems (slows HR)
mean arterial blood pressure

49
Q

what is MAP and what is it used for?

A

mean arterial pressure: the amount of blood that is getting to the body
used to monitor perfusion of organs

50
Q

what is normal MAP?

A

70-110 (need 60 to perfuse organs)

51
Q

how is Q increased?

A

increasing preload, contractility and volume

52
Q

what is preload?

A

pressure in the venous system that stretched the myocardium

53
Q

what is ejection fraction?

A

the amount of blood ejected by the left ventricle during systole
total volume ejected by LV / amount left in LV
stroke volume / end diastolic volume

54
Q

what is normal ejection fraction (EF)?

A

> or equal to 55-75%

55
Q

what is EF in CHF?

A

~20%

56
Q

what is dehydrations effect on Q?

A

leads to lower blood volume because of lower fluid. it decreases Q

57
Q

what is the difference in cardiac output between men, women and children?

A

women have 10% lower hemoglobin level than men which results in 5-10% larger Q to compensate
children have a smaller volume

58
Q

what is the a-vO2 difference?

A

the amount of oxygen that is extracted from the blood

59
Q

what is normal a-vO2 difference during rest?

A

20 ml O2 * dl-1 arterial
15 ml O2 * dl-1 venous

60
Q

what is normal a-vO2 difference during exercise?

A

20 ml O2 * dl-1 arterial
5-15 ml O2 * dl-1 venous

61
Q

what is the V02 equation?

A

Q x a-vO2 difference

62
Q

what factors affect the a-vO2 difference?

A

-redistribution of flow to active tissues during exercise
-increased capillary density due to training increase surface area and O2 extraction
-increased number and size of mitochondria
-increased oxidative enzymes
-vascular and metabolic improvements

63
Q

how is the distribution of blood directed?

A

vasodilation and vasoconstriction

64
Q

what is the difference between VO2max and VO2peak during aerobic or long term energy system?

A

VO2max = O2 consumption levels off despite an increase in exercise intensity, has been reached

what are the commonly used VO2max prediction tests?

A

step tests
2 or 6 min walk test

66
