Q

CV SYSTEM OVERVIEW

A

The CV system supplies O2 for metabolism, eliminates CO2 producedduringmetabolism, and regulates H+ concentration to maintain acid-base balance
The exchange of O2 and CO2 occurs in the alveoli of the lungs the blood gas interface.

Q

How is CO2 transported in the blood?

A
  1. Dissolved in plasma (7%)
  2. Carbamino compounds (23%) – bound to Hb inside red
    blood cells
  3. Bicarbonate ions (HCO3-) (70%) – in RBC CO2 reacts
    with water to form carbonic acid which dissolves into H+ and bicarbonate (HCO3-)

Q

NORMAL RESTING VALUES - BP

A

BP can vary with changes in posture, exercise, stress or sleep, it should normally be 120/80 mm Hg for an adult age 20 or over. >140/ 90 mmHg is considered mild hypertension and >180/110 mmHg is considered a hypertensive crisis. <90/60 mmHg is considered hypotensive.

Q

EXERCISE IS ABOUT TO START

Changes in respiration occur even before the initiation of exercise

A

Increased gas exchange across the alveolar-capillary membrane by the first or second breath.
– Increased respiratory rate

17
Q

EXERCISE IS ABOUT TO START

Exercise Pressor / Anticipatory Response:

A

Increased SNS activity, release of norepinephrine and epinephrine
– includes generalized peripheral vasoconstriction in non-exercising muscles and viscera, an increased myocardial contractility, an increased heart rate, and an increased systolic blood pressure.

18
Q

DURING EXERCISE

A

CARDIOVASCULAR AND RESPIRATORY SYSTEMS MUST MEET THE RAPID INCREASE IN ENERGY REQUIREMENTS DURING EXERCISE
Increased cardiac output Increased minute ventilation Increase in heart rate

19
Q

DURING EXERCISE - CHANGE IN CO2

A

There is a marked increase and redistribution of the cardiac output.
This occurs due to a combination of the anticipatory response and a locally mediated reduction in resistance in the working muscle arterial vascular bed, independent of the autonomic nervous system, and is produced by metabolites such as Mg2+, Ca2+, adenosine diphosphate (ADP), increased PCO2, decreased PO2, increased lactic acid, and increased temperature.

20
Q

DURING EXERCISE - MINUTE VENTILATION

A

Minute ventilation (the volume of air in inspired or expired per minute ) increases
MV increases as respiratory frequency and tidal volume increase. Alveolar ventilation, occurring with the diffusion of gases across the
capillary-alveolar membrane, increases 10-20x during heavy exercise to supply the additional O2 needed and excrete the excessive CO2 produced.

21
Q

• What causes the observed increase in MV?

A

– Acombinationofneuralandchemicalfactors,anyofwhich
alone or in combination may stimulate the respiratory system:
• Increased muscle metabolism results in more O2 extraction from arterial blood (increased a-VO2 difference) resulting in an increase in venous PCO2 and H+, an increase in body temp, increased epinephrine, and increased stimulation of receptors of the joints and muscles
– ThingsotherthanexercisecaninfluenceMV-Baroreceptor reflexes, protective reflexes, pain, emotion, and voluntary control of respiration may also contribute to the increase in respiration

22
Q

HR DURING EXERCISE

A

This depends on the intensity. If exercise intensity continues to increase HR will also continue to increase in a linear fashion until the maximum HR (HRmax) is achieved.
• If intensity is maintained at a submaximal level, HR increases rapidly until a plateau is reached. This is referred to as the
steady-state HR. This is the optimal HR for meeting the circulatory demands at a specific rate of work.

23
Q

EXERCISE RESULTS IN ADAPTATIONS

A

The cardiovascular system and the muscles adapt to a training stimulus over time
Adaptations result in improved efficiency of the cardiovascular system and the active muscles at rest and during exercise
Adaptation is relative to baseline fitness – an individual with low level of fitness has more potential to improve.

24
Q

ADAPTATIONS - CARDIOVASCULAR CHANGES

A

Cardiac adaptations:
Hypertrophy of cardiac muscle, increased left ventricular internal dimension, end diastolic volume, increased stroke volume (Frank- Starling Mechanism), increased myocardial mass, decreased HR at a given workload, rapid return to resting HR
Peripheral adaptations:
capillary density, increased red blood cells and total blood volume, increased a – vO2 difference at submaximal and maximal loads

25
ADAPTATIONS - BLOOD FLOW AND PRESSURE
• Increased ability to supply blood to muscles (blood flow) – Increasedcapillarisation – Increasedabilitytodilate • Decrease in resting blood pressure in hypertensive individuals
26
ADAPTATIONS - BLOOD VOLUME
Increased blood plasma volume – Releaseofaldosteroneandantidiuretichormonewithexercise – Increasedplasmaproteins • Increased number of red blood cells – Decreasedbloodviscosity – Higherturnoverofcells
27
ADAPTATIONS - RESPIRATORY CHANGES
• Ventilatory efficiency is increased • Minimal changes in lung volumes • Small decrease in resting and sub-maximal respiratory rate • Improvements during exercise – Maximal minute ventilation – Oxygendiffusioncapacityincreasesduetoincreased capillarisation
28
ADAPTATIONS - METABOLIC CHANGES
* Increased size and number of skeletal muscle mitochondria – increasing capacity to generate energy aerobically * Increased myoglobulin – increasing rate of transport of oxygen transport * Decreased rate of depletion of muscle glycogen * Lower blood lactate levels at submaximal work
29
VO2 MAX
The integrated result of these adaptations is to increase the maximum amount of oxygen used by the body during dynamic exercise. This is referred to as the VO2max (in L/min or ml/kg/min)
30
VO2 MAX DEF
the maximal CO (represents the oxygen delivery and blood flow to metabolically active tissue) and the maximal a-v O2 difference (the ability of metabolically active tissue to extract and use O2 from the blood) VO2max = COmax x a-v O2 Diffmax
