The amount of blood ejected from the heart each minute is called:
Cardiac output
Cardiac Output (CO) equals
HR x SV (heart rate x stroke volume)
What is "cardiac reserve"
the difference between the maximum and resting cardiac output.
A persistent, resting adult heart rate above 100 bpm is called:
Tachycardia
Bradycardia is:
A persistent, resting adult heart rate below 60 bpm.
Factors which raise the heart rate are called:
Positive chronotropic agents
Acceleratory signals sent via the sympathetic cardiac nerves secrete _____ which binds to ______
norepinephrine / B-adrenergic receptors in the heart.
signals sent via parasymptic fibers in the _v___ nerves which secrete ____a__ which binds to ___m___ receptors
vagus nerves acetecholine ; muscarinic.
Think of a parachuter who is a real "ace" and hasa muskrat
Hypercapnia is
excess CO2
Oxygen deficiency is called:
hypoxemia
Excess Ca makes the heart beat more ____
slowley
calcium deficiency causes the heart to beat too
rapidly
epinephrine and norepinephrine bind to adrenergic receptors and trigger the production of:
cAMP
cAMP (increases / decreases) heart rate
by accelerating BOTH contractio and relaxation, cAMP increases the heart rate.
Chemoreceptors are found in the
aortic arch, carotid arteries and medulla oblongata.
