AS Cardiac Output

QuestionAnswer
What is the definition of Stroke volume? The volume of blood leaving the heart (left ventricle) per beat
What is ejection fraction? Proportion of blood in left ventricle pumped out each beat
Name three venous return mechanisms? Pocket valves / respiratory pump / skeletal pump / suction action of the heart
What is starlings law The greater the venous return (the greater the stretch of the heart) the greater the strength of contraction
The relationship between Cardiac out put and stroke volume? CO = SV X HR, if SV increases so doe cardiac output
What is the term athlete’s heart mean? The increase in size of the heart that accompanies training. The increase in size of the heart that accompanies training.
What is the definition of cardiac out put? Volume of blood leaving the heart per minute
What is venous return? The amount of blood returning to the heart
What is heart rate? The number of times the heart contracts and relaxes (cardiac cycles) per minute
The variables that make up stroke volume? Venous return / contractility of heart muscle / elasticity of heart muscles (starlings law)
What does bradycardia mean? The reduction in resting heart rate that accompanies training.
What is the cardiovascular drift? An increase in heart rate that occurs during prolonged steady exercise that compensates for a decrease in stroke volume in an attempt to maintain cardiac output.
How does stroke volume increase during exercise? More venous return, greater the filling of the ventricles , heart muscle stretches, greater strength of contraction (starlings law), greater ejection fraction
What are the effects of exercise on heart rate? Heart rate increases, stroke volume increases (starlings law), cardiac output increases because CO= SV X HR
What happens to cardiac output at rest? It remains the same, but stroke volume is higher and resting heart rate is lower. Effect of training

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
