Term definitions

QuestionAnswer
alterial-venous oxygen difference (a-vO2 diff) the difference in the oxygen content of the blood (ml/100ml) as measured when it leaves the heart after being oxygenated by the lungs versus upon its return to the heart (i.e., the amount of oxygen extracted by the body).
autoregulation the name given to a bodies ability to control the arteriole blood flow at localized areas of the body. This occurs due to chemical changes at the local level such as lowered oxygen levels which cause the arteriole to dilate.
cardiac cycle all the events of the heart operation between two consecutive heart beats.
cardiac output (Q) the total volume of blood pumped by the heart per minute. The product of heart rate and stroke volume.
end-diastolic volume the volume of blood contained in the ventricle at the end of the diastole (prior to its contraction).
end-systolic volume the volume of blood contained in the ventricle at the end of the systole (just after its contraction).
extrinsic neural control control of blood flow directed by sympathetic nervous system which redirects blood flow from areas of low need to areas of high need by constricting or relaxing arterioles
hematocrit the ratio of blood volume composed of cells or formed elements to total blood volume.
hemoconcentration the name given to the effect of increased hematocrit due to loss of blood plasma during exercise
hemoglobin a molecule of the red blood cell which oxygen binds to allowing for the transport of oxygen through the blood stream.
hypertension chronically elevated blood pressure above the norm.
maximum heart rate the highest heart rate attained during an all-out exercise effort to exhaustion
steady-state heart rate the heart rate attained within a few minutes and sustained during the duration for a particular level of physical exercise.
stroke volume the volume of blood ejected from the left ventricle per contraction.
anaerobic threshold the respiration point where the volume of CO2 produced increases at a higher rate when compared to the O2 volume consumed
expiration the process where gas is expelled from the lungs
external respiration the name given to the process of bringing air into/out of the lungs and the gas exchange (CO2 and O2) inside the lungs.
hyperventilation an increase in ventilation occurring without need from a metabolic perspective
inspiration the active process where the diaphragm and intercostal muscles contract to increase the volume of the thoracic cage which causes a measure drop in the lungs allowing outside air to enter
internal respiration the name given to the transport of gases (CO2 and O2) in the circulatory system and the gas exchange in the tissues
pulmonary diffusion the gas exchange in the lungs in which O2 is absorbed and CO2 is removed from the blood
pulmonary ventilation another name for breathing
respiratory centers the location in the medulla oblongata which control the rate and depth of breathing
respiratory membrane the thin tissue area in the lung where the gas exchange occurs in the lungs
Valsalva maneuver a technique used to increase blood pressure during resistance exercise where a person tries to exhale while the mouth, nose and glottis are closed.

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.
