Blood Pressure

        Help!  

Term
Definition
components of blood   plasma and hematocrit (RBC's, WBC's, platelets)  
🗑
blood viscosity   thickness of blood  
🗑
EPO   hormone that controls RBC production  
🗑
blood doping   taking out blood, letting the body replenish that blood defect and then adding it back in so you have additional red blood cells than you did before  
🗑
short-term control of blood pressure   sympathetic nervous system, stimulatory  
🗑
baroreceptor response   pressure receptors in the arteries detect a drop in blood pressure and signals the cardioregulatory center to increase heart rate so that more blood is being delivered to the body (negative feedback loop)  
🗑
long term control of blood pressure   kidneys control the hormones that affect blood volume in the cardiovascular system  
🗑
why does cardiac output increase during exercise?   heart rate will increase with an increased respiratory rate, therefore strove volume will increase due to this increase. As more blood is being pumped out per beat to deliver more O2 to the working muscles, more blood will also be pumped out per minute  
🗑
redistribution of blood flow during exercise   vasodilation in working areas, vasoconstriction in non-working areas. most RBC's where oxygen is needed  
🗑
predicting maximum heart rate   220-age OR 200-.67(age-20)  
🗑
autoregulation   vasodilation in arterioles feeding working muscles caused by metabolic changes in the local muscles, influenced by decreased oxygen tension, increased CO2 tension, nitric oxide, potassium and adenosine concentrations, decrease in pH  
🗑
capillary recruitment   assists auto regulation, at rest only about 5-10% of capillaries are open. during exercise, pre-capillary sphincters open access to almost all of the capillaries in contracting muscle  
🗑
factors that cause a rise in cardiac output   vascular resistance (vasoconstriction) and an increase in mean arterial pressure  
🗑
why does diastolic blood pressure drop during exercise?   the arteries must dilate to accommodate the increase in cardiac output but stay dilated during diastole when there is less blood in the arteries. bigger arteries with less blood volume leads to a drop in arterial pressure  
🗑
fick equation   VO2 = Q x a-vo2 difference  
🗑
intrinsic control of heart rate   electrical activity of the heart  
🗑
SA node   sino-atrial node pacemaker, depolarizes and fires and impulse to the surrounding cardiac muscle fibers in order to contract  
🗑
AV node   avio-ventricular node conducts the electrical impulse to the next chamber conductive tissue (gate)  
🗑
bradycardia   extremely slow heart rate , under 60 bpm  
🗑
tachycardia   extremely high heart rate , above 100 bpm  
🗑
extrinsic control of heart rate   nervous system  
🗑
parasympathetic nervous system   cardiovascular control center in the medulla slows activity in the heart  
🗑
sympathetic nervous system   cardiovascular control center in the medulla stimulates activity in the heart  
🗑
vagus nerve   PNS, crianial nerve that when stimulated will slow or completely stop heart rate. works by dampening the signals of the SA node  
🗑
vagus escape   heart rate continuing even after the vagus nerve is stimulated and another cardiac muscle fiber takes over as pacemaker  
🗑
how does HR increase during exercise?   by withdrawal of the PNS stimulation  
🗑
stroke volume   amount of blood pumped out per beat  
🗑
factors influencing stroke volume   EDV, contractility, peripheral resistance,  
🗑
end-diastolic volume   amount of blood in ventricle after contraction of ventricle  
🗑
venous return   blood coming back to heart after oxygen delivery, venoconstriction, muscle pump, respiratory pump  
🗑
starling law   as EDV increases, the length of the cardiac fibers will stretch causing their contractions to be stronger  
🗑
ejection fraction   amount of blood pumped out of the ventricles each contraction, in a healthy heart should be 70%  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
