In conditioned athletes, the resting Heart Rate is generally much lower than in non-athletes. Why? a-because long-term exercise reduces Cardiac Output at rest to conserve energy b-because athletes have a smaller Stroke Volume at rest, causing Heart Rate to decrease as well c-because long-term exercise leads to increased vagal tone which slows Heart Rate d-because athletes have stronger ventricles and therefore a larger Stroke Volume at rest, so they require fewer bpm to achieve the same Cardiac Output

A Zumba instructor remembers the data given in the following table, which shows the recommended maximum exercise heart rates for individuals of the given ages. Age (x years) 20 40 60Maximum heart rate 170 153 136(y beats per minute) d. Use the equation from part c to predict the maximum exercise heart rate for a person who is 72.e. Is the procedure in part d an example of interpolation or extrapolation?
In a healthy heart during exercise, cardiac output increases as heart rate increases up to about 120bpm, as stroke volume remains constant (CO = HR x SV). As heart rate goes further up, the cardiac output remains stable, and above 160bm it decreases. Why does it decrease? A. shorter filling time decreases stroke volume B. venous return decreases C. valves cannot open and close fast enough D. contractile power of heart muscle cells increases
Describe why your heart rate increases with exercise. What would happen if your heart did not beat faster with exercise?
If cardiac output is 16L/min during jogging, and 25% of total blood flow is being diverted to skeletal muscle, how much blood is being delivered to skeletal muscle in L/min? a. 2 b. 5 c. 6 d. 1 e. 4 f. 3
What is the primary reason for why pulse pressure increases with aging? a. Decrease in the number of capillaries b. Aortic compliance decreases c. Speed of blood ejection from the aorta decreases d. Stroke volume decreases e. Heart rate decreases
In a healthy young adult, what happens to cardiacoutput when heart rate increases above 160 bpm?a. It increases.b. It decreases.c. It remains constant.d. There is no way to predict
1. In response to starting rigorous physical activity, propriorecetors stimulate the cardioacceratory center to increase Heart Rate. In addition, contraction of skeletal muscles increase the amount of blood returning to the heart which in turn A.decreases preload and therefore increases Stroke Volume B.increases afterload and therefore decreases Stroke Volume C.decreases afterload and therefore increases Stroke Volume D.increases preload and therefore increases Stroke Volume 2. Congestive Heart Failure occurs as a result of A.negative feedback B.positive feedback C.really bad luck D.homeostatic regulation 3. Imbalanced ventricular output inevitably results in a progressive disease known as A.Myocardial Infarction B.Congestive Heart Failure C.Heart Disease D.Angina Pectoris 4. In ventricular fibrillation, there is no pattern visible in the EKG. What does this mean in terms of contraction? A. contraction will have no visible…
To achieve a moderate-intensity aerboic workout, what percentage of your maximal heart rate should be your target range? A.20-30% of maximal heart rate B. 90-110% of maximal heart rate C. No more than 85% of maximal heart rate D. 50-70% of maximal heart rat
22. Ventricular Contractility increases in response to circulating Epinephrine. What factor is responsible for this increase in the force of the contraction? A.the Na+ current (depol.) B.the Ca++ current which causes the plateau (trigger Ca++) C.the K+ current D.a decreased Central Venous Pressure 23. Normally, Systole takes up about 80% of the Cardiac Cycle. A. true B. false 24.Which of the following is not an affect of circulating Angiostensin II (AII)?

Blood Volume affects blood pressure because it directly increases: A.Total Peripheral Resistance B.Stroke Volume C.End Systolic Volume D.Central Venous Pressure 26. Atrial Naturetic Factor is released to adjust blood pressure. Which organ releases this hormone? A.the heart B.the kidneys C.the adrenal cortex
Consider the equation cardiac output (CO) = stroke volume (SV) X heart rate Which of the following changes would increase cardiac output? Group of answer choices An increase in afterload An increase in EDV A decrease in ventricle contractility An increase in parasympathetic system stimulation of the SA node

C. Which has a very slow but regular ventricular beat? d. In 3rd degree heart block, where is the atrial rate set? Where is the ventriclar rate set ?
During work, blood flow through a muscle can increase 20 times but the cardiac output does not increase as much, this is because a) vasoconstriction of the skin circulation, at least temporarily b) vasodilation of the blood vessels in the working muscles c) the blood supply to the gastrointestinal tract is reduced
