WVSOM Exercise physio lecture 1 and 2 acute CV and respiratory changes brown
Question | Answer |
---|---|
How can cardiac output be increased? | heart rate, stroke volume |
How can ventilation be increased? | frequency of breathing, tidal volume |
What can cause some variations in physiological responses to exercise? | Repetition: Acute versus chronic, Amount of muscle mass involved, Intensity of effort, Duration of effort, Type of muscle contraction |
What are some types of muscle contractions? | dynamic = movement, static (isometric) = no movement |
How can dynamic exercise be quantified? | by the rate of O2 consumption |
As the work rate increases what happens to the O2 consumption? | you have a steady increase linearly of consumption until you reach your maximum O2 consumption level. |
What happens when you reach the max O2 consumption? | you start anaerobic exercise |
What 3 components underlie increased VO2? | Supply by lungs, Delivery by circulation, utilization by muscles |
What is the equation for supply? | VO2 = VE (FIO2 – FEO2) |
What is the equation for delivery? | VO2 = Q x (a-v O2 difference)= HR x SV x (a-v O2 difference) |
What is the equation for utilization? | VO2= Q x (a-v O2 difference)- reflects O2 extraction |
What is the ventilatory response to exercise? | It increases |
What happens to cardiac output as oxygen use is increased? | it will increase slightly |
When does the total ventilation increases linearly at a much faster rate? | as we exercise more and more. |
Ventilation increases faster after? | the point of anaerobic threshold |
When you are still able to aerobic during exercise the line for the O2 consumption? | increases linearly |
When you get to the v max the respiratory rate? | jumps to a very fast rate for every ml of O2 that it needs |
What happens to lactic acid in blood as you are using O2? | it increases slightly |
What happens to the lactic acid in the blood as you reach the anaerobic threshold? | blood lactate follows the respiratory pattern it skyrockets when you reach the threshold |
What does lactic acid do to the rise in ventilation? | it helps to increase the ventilation rate |
How many phases are there in ventilation when you exercise? | 2 phases |
What happens to ventilation when you start to exercise? | it goes up right away as your brain says to start exercising so it goes up in anticipation |
When the respiratory center in your brain tells your body that you are going to start exercising to breath faster this is an example of? | Feed forward |
What causes the slow increase in ventilation? | its thought that the body has limb mechanoreceptors or in increase in potassium may have something to do with it |
Because you increase the PCO2 hypercapnia what happens? | you blow off CO2 |
Does hypercapnia happen at higher exercise levels? | no you have a slight decrease in sever exercise |
If you increase respiratory rate are you going to be short in oxygen? | no |
Does lowering the pH acidosis cause the slow increase in ventilation? | no the pH is maintained in moderate exercise |
What are some other things that changes in exercise? | increase in diffusing capacity up to 3X, decreased v/q inequality, and the O2 dissociation curve shifts to the right |
How do you increase the diffusing capacity? | recruitment and distension of capillaries |
Is diffusion limiting when exercising? | not usually |
What happens if we shift the O2 dissociation to the right? | Less affinity for oxygen so they release faster, increased CO2 pressure gradient, increased hydrogen concentration, and increased temperature |
What is the result of decreased V/Q inequality? | lung blood flow becomes more uniform |

How do we increase the heart rate from rest? | initially we decrease parasympathetic tone to SA node, then we increase the sympathetic tone in heavy exercise |
How do we increase the stroke volume? | increase in end diastolic volume (Frank starling) as you add more volume you will make the sarcomere length an optimum of 2, and increase sympathetic activation |
At rest what length does your heart muscle work at? | less than 2 microns |
When you increase preload you are getting the sarcomere length operation to the optimum level what happens to stroke volume? | stroke volume goes up |
How can you decrease stroke volume? | decrease the EDV and increase the ESV |
What happens when you decrease the volume of blood at the end of rest in your ventricle? | Shorten the sarcomeres |
What is the first thing we do in exercise? | increase the end diostolic volume increase preload |
How can you increase the stroke volume? | increase the EDV and decrease the ESV |
What are some factors that affect ESV? | afterload, contractility |
What are some factors that affect EDV? | if a heart muscle becomes stiffer, Heart rate, also preload |
What happens to stroke volume when you increase afterload? | if you increase that pressure in the aorta more of its energy from a single squeeze has to be used so you have less energy for systemic so you decrease the stroke volume |
What is the equation for SV? | SV = EDV - ESV |
What increases venous return? | muscle contraction and breathing |
What does the muscle pump do? | displaces blood from peripheral veins to central veins |
What is the respiratory pump? | The difference of intrathoracic pressure sucks the blood into the right ventricle of the heart |
