Cards

Term
The Heart Contains How Many Chambers and is divided into what 2 sides
Definition

Contains 4 Chambers

 

Divided into Pulmonary Side and Systemic Side

Term

Is the Pulmonary Side Left or Right?

 

Does it receive Oxygenated Blood or Deoxygenated Blood?

 

How does it travel through the heart/body?

Definition

Right Side

 

Deoxygenated

 

Receives Deoxygenated Blood from the body and pumps it into the lungs

Term

The Systemic Side is left or right?

 

What type of blood does it carry

 

How does it travel through the heart/body

Definition

Left

 

Oxygenated

 

Pumps oxygenated blood throughout the body

Term

What is the definition of Heart Rate (HR)

 

Definition
Measure of the number of times, per minute that the heart beats.
Term

What is the definition of Stroke Volume (SV)

 

What happens to the SV while the heart is asapting to CRE conditioning?

Definition

the volume of blood that is pumped with each heartbeat

 

The SV increases; results in a lower resting HR

 

 

Term
What does it mean if more blood is pumped with each beat of the heart
Definition

more oxygen is available

 

 

Term

What is the definition of Cardiac Output (Q)?

 

What is the formula for Cardiac Output?

Definition

the measure of the amount of blood being pumped through the cardiovascular system in liters per minute

 

(Q) = (SV) x (HR)

 

Term

What is the definition of Blood Pressure (BP)?

 

 

What happens when (Q) increases due to exercise?

Definition

The measure of pressure within the vascular system

 

The Systolic (BP) rises linearly with (Q) but the Diastolic (BP) remains constant or slightly decreases

Term

What is systolic (BP)?

 

What is diastolic (BP)?

Definition

the measure of vascular pressure during the contraction phase of the heart

 

The measure of vascular pressure during the relaxation phase

Term

What is the definition of Oxygen Extraction?

 

What else is it refered to as?

Definition

the amount of oxygen that is removed from the arterial blood that is circulate through the skeletal muscles

 

Arterial Venous Oxygen Differences 

or

 (a-v)O2 Differences

Term

Which Atria collects blood from the body?

 

Which Atria collects blood from the lungs?

 

Which Ventricle pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs?

 

Which Ventricle pumps oxygnated blood out through the aorta to the body

Definition

Right Atrium

 

Left Atrium

 

Right Ventricle

 

Left Ventricle

Term
Out of the four divisions of the heart, which one has the thickest walls and strongest of the chamber?
Definition
Left Ventricle
Term
What are the four conditioned heart adaptations?
Definition
  1. (SV) increases - amount of blood pumped with each beat increases
  2. The strength and tone of the heart muscle improves - left ventricle contractions are stronger
  3. each heartbeat is able to supply more oxygen to working muscles - eliminates need for increase number of beats per minute during exercise
  4. lowered resting heart rate
Term
where does deoxygenated blood travel?
Definition

1. Through the inferior/superior vena cava (IVC) (SVC)

 

2. Right Atrium

 

3. Right Ventricle

 

4. Pulmonary Arteries

 

5. Lungs (gas exchange occurs here)

Term
Where does oxygenated blood travel from?
Definition

1. lungs

 

2. pulmonary veins

 

3. left atrium

 

4. left ventricle

 

5. aorta

 

6. distributed throughout body

 

7. returns to (SVC)/(IVA) as deoxygenated blood

 

Term

Oxygenated blood travels through _______, which carries blood away from the heart.

 

It then travels through _________ which are more elastic and smaller.

 

From there it travels into microscopic networks of smaller vessels called ___________.

Definition

Arteries

 

Arterioles

 

Capillaries

Term
Why are arterioles significant during exercise
Definition
becuase they irect the blood flow to the working muscles to supple the increase demand for oxygen
Term
After gas exchange occurs in the capillaries deoxygenated blood travels back to the heart through ____________ and then to the larger __________.
Definition

Venules

 

Veins

Term

The respiratory system is composed of ....

 

(Hint: consist of six parts)

Definition

1. Nose

 

2. Mouth


3. Trachea


4. Primary and Secondary Bronchi

 

5. Bronchioles

 

6. Lungs

Term
What is an Aveoli
Definition
the smallest branches in the lungs usually refered to as small air sacs or cavities in the lung that expand its surface area for the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide
Term

What is Pulmonary Ventilations?

 

When does pulmonary ventilation take place?

 

What is the formular for pulmonary ventilation?

Definition

measures in liters per minute of gas exchanged (VE)

 

When the air is brough into the body and exchanged  with air in the lungs

 

(VE) = (Vt) x (Vf)

Term

What is Tidal Volume (Vt)?

 

What is Respiratory Rate (Vf)?

Definition

Vt is the amount og air in one breath

 

Vf is the number of breaths per minute

Term

when is an added need for oxygen to supply energy to the working muscles necessary?

 

And how does the respiratory mechanism respond?

 

Wiith training the body can extract more _______ from the same volume of air ventilated through _________

Definition

when exercise or physical work begins

 

it increases respiratory frequency and the depth of the breathing

 

Oxygen; the lungs

Term

What is Maxium Oxygen Consumption (VO2max)

 

What is it used as an indicator for

 

The greater the percentage of oxygen in the blood that can be transported and used by the tissue the ______ one's VO2max

 

When conditioning VO2max will ______

Definition

the measure of the highest volume of oxygen a person can consume during strenuous exercise or work
