Describe the central thesis of the Frank-Starling Law of the Heart. Increase in filling increases contraction, if more blood comes in, more has to be pumped out
Explain how exercise increases preload. As skeletal muscle contracts, and breathing gets deeper, more blood is returned to the heart, an increased preload. The stretching of the sarcomeres by this extra blood causes a Harder strength of squeeze, and more blood is pushed on into the aorta

If the aorta is blocked by an atherosclerotic plaque will that affect HR, preload, contractility or HR? afterload
What will happen to CO if there is aortic blockage? CO will decrease, as SV decreases because it will be harder to push blood through the vessel
What will happen to CO if you infuse NOR into a patient? It will increase as HR and SV will increase
Will increased sympathetic activity increase preload, afterload or contractility? Contractility as affects calcium entry and release
