Study Notes
Neural Regulation of Cardiovascular Response to Exercise
- Cardiovascular regulation during exercise involves providing sufficient oxygen to working muscles and regulating blood pressure to maintain adequate perfusion of vital organs.
- Exercise causes a rise in cardiac output (CO) directly correlated to oxygen uptake.
- Dynamic exercise results in a small increase in mean arterial pressure (MAP) despite metabolic vasodilation in muscles.
- Skeletal muscles release vasodilators (potassium, adenosine, etc.) during contraction.
- Cardiovascular responses are regulated by mechanical and nervous systems.
- Mechanical mechanisms (respiratory and skeletal muscle pumps) enhance stroke volume and CO.
- Nervous mechanisms involve parasympathetic withdrawal and sympathetic activation, adjusting heart rate, contractility, and vascular resistance.
- "Central command" activates cardiovascular control areas in the medulla during exercise.
- Exercise pressor reflex (a peripheral mechanism) reflexively modulates sympathetic tone based on muscle activity and metabolic conditions.
- Baroreflexes regulate muscle vasodilation and cardiac function to maintain blood pressure.
- Arterial chemoreceptors contribute to sympathetic modulation during exercise.
Central Command
- Central command involves regions of the brain involved in motor control activating cardiovascular control areas in the medulla.
- The mechanism was first proposed in connection to ventilation control, later extended to circulation control.
- Research suggests central command can operate independently of muscle activation, depending on perceived effort.
- Inputs from muscle receptors can modulate central command intensity.
Baroreflex
- Baroreflexes maintain balance between vascular resistance and CO, preventing excessive blood pressure fluctuations.
- Gain of baroreflexes is largely maintained during exercise, but the relationship between heart rate and arterial pressure shifts (resets) to a higher pressure range during exercise.
- The primary mechanism of the reflex is peripheral vasoconstriction to increase arterial pressure.
Carotid Chemoreflex
- Carotid chemoreceptors monitor arterial blood gas composition and hydrogen ion concentration.
- Peripheral chemoreceptors in the carotid sinus and aortic arch detect hypoxia and hypercapnia.
- Central chemoreceptors located in the brain stem respond to hypercapnia.
- Chemoreflexes play a role in autonomic adjustments during exercise, though their exact contribution during normal exercise in normoxia has been less studied.
