Week 8 Flashcards
You want to make sure that Oxygen defecit occurs during
warm up,not when you have started your event
How many heart beats happen in a day
100k
How many gallons of oxygen rich blood are pumped a day
2k
Cardiac Output =
heart rate x stroke volume
A limiting factor in exercise is
the amount of blood the CV system can circulate to the working muscles
Cardiac Output (Q) definition
the amount of blood pumped in one minute by either the LV or RV
Stroke Volume (SV) definition
the amount of blood pumped by the LV or RV per beat
Heart Rate (HR) definition
the number of heart beats per minute
The Skeletal Muscle Pump
when the muscle is contracted, valves above the muscle open
Little sacs in the lungs are called
alveoli
where does gas exchange occur
in the alveoli
Air molecules move from
higher pressure to lower pressure
Inspiration Mechanics
- diaphragm and intercostals contract
- increase volume in thoracic cavity
- reduced air pressure in lungs
- air flows in
Expiration Mechanics
- predominantly passive
- relaxation of inspiratory muscles
- decrease volume in thoracic cavity
- air pressure higher in lungs
- air moves out
Minute ventilation definition
the volume of air inspired or expired in one minute
Tidal Volume definition
volume of air ventilated per breath
Respiratory frequency definition
number of breath per minute
Minute ventilation =
tidal volume x respiratory frequency
Components of blood
plasma = 55%
erythocytes = 45%
buffy coat < 1%
Hematocrit definition
refers to the portion of blood composed of blood cell and formed elements
Hematocrit levels
40-50% in males
45-45% in females
Plasma makes up _____% of blood by volume and is _____% water
50-60% of blood by volume and is 90-95% water
the total blood volume %
total blood volume is 8% body weight
Gas exchange occurs through
the process of diffusion
