Study Notes

Mathematical Representation of Division

The equation 3 / 5 = 0.6 correctly represents the statement "3 divided by 5 equals 18.6".

Blood Clot Formation

Decreased blood clot formation is beneficial as it reduces the risk of thrombosis (blood clots).

Exercise and Blood Clots

Exercise can decrease the risk of blood clot development. This is because exercise promotes blood flow and strengthens the cardiovascular system.

Stroke Volume Differences Between Genders

Males typically have a larger stroke volume than females due to a larger heart size.

Stroke Volume and Body Size

A larger female does not necessarily have a higher stroke volume than a smaller male. Stroke volume is primarily determined by heart size and strength, not body size.

Heart Rate in Males and Females

The maximum heart rate is not the same for males and females. Maximum heart rate is usually estimated by subtracting age from 220 for males and 226 for females.

Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) Calculation

MAP = (2 x Diastolic BP + Systolic BP) / 3

Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP)

SBP is the highest pressure in the arteries during ventricular contraction.

Pulse Pressure Calculation

Pulse Pressure = Systolic BP - Diastolic BP

Resistance (R)

Resistance refers to the opposition to blood flow within blood vessels.

Vessel Diameter and Blood Flow Rate

According to Poiseuille's Law, blood flow rate is directly proportional to the fourth power of the vessel diameter. This means a small change in diameter can have a large effect on blood flow rate.

Vasodilation

Vasodilation is the widening of blood vessels, which lowers blood pressure and increases blood flow.

Blood Vessel Pressure During Cooldown

During cooldown, pressure in the blood vessels increases in the upper body compared to the lower body because of reduced blood flow to the legs after exercise.

Muscle Pump Effect in the Upper Body

The muscle pump effect in the upper body during exercise is relatively minor compared to the lower body.

Cardiac Output (Q) During Exercise

Cardiac output increases significantly during both upper and lower body exercise as the heart works harder to deliver oxygen to the working muscles.

Static Exercise and Stroke Volume

During static exercise, stroke volume decreases because of increased pressure on the heart, making it harder to pump blood effectively.

Static Exercise and Blood Pressure

Static exercise causes a substantial increase in both systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) due to the effort of pushing against resistance.

Blood Flow Distribution During Exercise

During upper body exercise, blood flow is primarily directed to the arms and upper body, while during lower body exercise, blood flow is primarily directed to the legs and lower body.

Cardiac Hypertrophy

Cardiac hypertrophy is an increase in heart muscle thickness that can be a result of endurance training.

Cardiac Output Calculation

Cardiac Output (Q) = Stroke Volume (SV) x Heart Rate (HR)

Left Ventricle vs. Right Ventricle

The left ventricle is larger than the right ventricle because it pumps blood throughout the body, requiring more strength.

Stroke Volume (SV)

Stroke volume is the amount of blood ejected by the heart with each beat.

Bradycardia

Bradycardia is a slow heart rate below 60 beats per minute, often a sign of good cardiovascular health.

Blood Pressure and Heart Rate

Blood pressure and heart rate have a direct relationship. Increased heart rate usually correlates with higher blood pressure.

Venous Return During Thermoregulation

During thermoregulation, venous return can be affected by vasodilation and vasoconstriction to regulate body temperature.

Causes of Transient Syncope

Causes of transient syncope (short-lasting fainting) can include:
- Orthostatic hypotension: a drop in blood pressure when standing up.
- Vasovagal syncope: triggered by emotional stress, pain, or heat.
- Cardiac arrhythmias: irregular heart rhythms.

SA Node Function

The SA node (sinoatrial node) is the pacemaker of the heart and generates the electrical impulses that trigger each heartbeat.

Heart Rate and Stroke Volume Relationship During Ramp Exercise

During ramp exercise, heart rate increases linearly, while stroke volume plateaus until reaching a maximum, then declines.

Heart Rate and Stroke Volume Relationship During Prolonged Heavy Exercise

During prolonged heavy exercise, heart rate levels off at a maximum, while stroke volume gradually declines.

Heart Rate-Pressure Product (RPP) Calculation

RPP = Heart Rate (HR) x Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP)
