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.
