Sue goes to the gym and after an initial warm-up, she increases her exercise level pushing herself to maximum. At this point her heart rate is 175 beats/min and her stroke volume is 135 ml/beat. What is her cardiac output now? At this point, by how many ml/min has her CO increased over her resting CO? What % increase over resting is this? (Use the following equation). amount of increase in CO in ml/min % increase = _____________ X 100% original CO (resting) ml/min What term is used to describe this increase in CO?

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
There are three major factors that affect stroke volume and therefore affect cardiac output: afterload, preload, and contractility. Select two of these factors and explain how and why each affects cardiac output.
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
During heavy exercise, how much cardiac output may increase?
Imagine that you are feeling very anxious as you walk to the podium to deliver a speech. If your heart rate increases to 100 beats per minute and your stroke volume is 100 mL per stroke, what is your cardiac output?
Calculate the power generated by the right ventricle during (a) restful state; blood flow 5 L/min, and (b) intense activity; blood flow 25 L/min. Answer: (a) P = 0.25 W; (B) P = 4.5 W
Which of the following statements best describes the differences in the regulation of cardiac and skeletal muscle contraction? The amount of contractile force actively generated by muscle cells is increased by stretch in skeletal muscle and decreased by stretch in cardiac muscle. Cardiac muscle is stimulated by motor neurons and skeletal muscle by neurones from the autonomic nervous system. Skeletal muscle contractile force is augmented by increasing the firing frequency of action potentials whereas cardiac muscle contractile force is enhanced by noradrenaline increasing calcium influx through ion channels. Ryanodine receptors in skeletal muscle are opened by a mechanism that requires calcium influx whereas in cardiac muscle membrane depolarisation alone without calcium influx is sufficient to open ryanodine receptors.
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
In response to a severe hemorrhage, blood pressure lowers, the heart rate increases dramatically, and the stroke volume lowers. If low blood pressure activates a reflex that increases sympathetic stimulation of the heart, why is the stroke volume low?
