Study Notes
Vascular System Components and Roles
- Heart: Pumps blood to arteries
- Arteries: Transport oxygen-rich blood away from the heart
- Arterioles: Smaller branches leading to capillaries
- Capillaries: Sites of nutrient, gas, and waste exchange
- Veins: Carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart, with valves to prevent backflow
- Venules: Collect deoxygenated blood from capillaries, returning it to veins
Systole and Diastole
- Systole: Contraction phase of heart, ejection of blood, raises arterial blood pressure
- Diastole: Relaxation phase of heart, filling with blood, no change in arterial blood pressure
Heart Rate Responses to Exercise
- Submaximal exercise (60% VO2 max): Heart rate response measured over 30 minutes, from rest to exercise and into recovery.
- Incremental exercise (0-100% VO2 max): Heart rate response to progressively increasing exercise intensity.
- Stroke volume response to maximal exercise test (0-100% VO2 max): Changes in stroke volume with increasing intensity.
Gender Differences in Cardiovascular Function
- Stroke volume, cardiac output, and heart rate differ between males and females, primarily due to differences in body size and heart size.
Trained vs. Untrained Cardiovascular Responses
- Resting heart rate: Lower in trained individuals due to a larger left ventricle.
- Heart rate during exercise: Increases in trained individuals but tends to be lower than untrained individuals to achieve the same cardiac output
- Maximal exercise response(trained): Higher stroke volume and cardiac output compared to untrained people, with higher stroke volume being able to reach max heart rate.
- Maximum Exercise Response (untrained): Similar stroke volume and cardiac output, but lower than that of a trained person at max heart rate
Upper Body vs. Lower Body Exercise
- Heart rate responses to upper body exercise are higher than lower body exercise at the same workload due to greater sympathetic activity and isometric contractions (arm work)
Relationship Between HR, SV, and CO
- Heart Rate (HR) multiplied by Stroke Volume (SV) equals Cardiac Output (CO)
Venous Return during Exercise
- Venous constriction: Increases venous blood pressure and preload, aiding venous return
- Muscle pump: Skeletal muscle contractions force blood back to the heart
- Respiratory pump: Changes in thoracic pressure assist venous return
Factors Affecting Stroke Volume
- Left ventricular hypertrophy: Larger and stronger left ventricle increases stroke volume
- Cardiac muscle stretch: Increased stretch increases blood ejection
- Contractility: Greater contractile force increases stroke volume
- Preload: The amount ventricles fill before contraction; increasing preload increases SV
- Afterload: Resistance exerted by arteries on blood leaving the ventricles; decreased afterload increases SV
Blood Flow to Exercising Muscles
- Increased metabolic demand during exercise causes vasodilation (widening of blood vessels) in muscles to increase blood flow.
Prolonged Exercise and Cardiovascular Function
- During prolonged exercise, heart rate increases, and stroke volume may decrease slightly to maintain cardiac output.
Peripheral Resistance
- Factors like vessel diameter and blood viscosity affect total peripheral resistance (TPR) and, consequently, blood flow
Dehydration and Exercise
- Dehydration during exercise increases blood viscosity, potentially decreasing blood flow and increasing risk of cardiovascular complications
Blood Flow Distribution During Exercise
- During exercise, blood flow shifts away from less active organs towards exercising skeletal muscles.
Regulation of Ventilation and Acid-Base Balance
- Factors affecting pulmonary ventilation: carbon dioxide, hydrogen ions and arterial oxygen levels.
- Effects of exercise on respiratory system: increased rate and depth of breathing.
- Acid-base balance concerns during exercise: lactic acid production, resulting in a lower blood pH and need for increased respiratory function.
Cardiovascular Adaptations to Endurance Training
- Anatomical adaptation(s): increase in left ventricular hypertrophy, increase in the number and size of mitochondria, greater capillary density
- Functional adaptation(s): increased stroke volume at maximal exertion, greater blood volume
Maximal Oxygen Uptake (VO2max)
- Factors affecting VO2 max: maximal cardiac output and a-VO2 difference
- Endurance training increases VO2max due to larger cardiac output and a-VO2 difference
Other
- Type I and Type II muscle fibers: Type I fibers have high mitochondrial density and are suitable for endurance activities.
