What is the normal heart pressure (Systolic/Diastolic)

• 120/80

• 80/120

• 140/90

• 90/60

Which of these is/are true about systolic blood pressure?

• Left ventricle relaxing

• Left ventricle contracting

• Right ventricle relaxing

• All of the above

Which does not describe cardiac output?

• It is determined by body size and aerobic fitness

• The amount of blood pumped by the heart each minute

• It is the amount of blood pumped out of the heart each beat

• It is the product of heart rate and stroke volume

What is stroke volume?

• the volume of oxygen transported in the blood

• the volume of blood pumped out of the heart each minute

• the volume of blood pumped out of the heart in each beat

• the number of beats per minute

Work out the cardiac output of a performer who has a heartbeat of 170 bpm and a stroke volume of 70 ml.

• 10.9 liters per minute or 10,900ml per minute

• 13.9 liters per minute or 13,900ml per minute

• 11.9 liters per minute or 11,900ml per minute

• 9.9 liters per minute or 9,900ml per minute

Patrick a 27-year old elite athlete of basketball would like to get the estimate of his maximum heart rate in the middle of his training. Using the easiest formula what is Patrick’s maximum heart rate?

• 173 bpm

• 183 bpm

• 193 bpm

• 203 bpm

The following describes the difference between trained and untrained individuals during maximal aerobic exercise, EXCEPT:

• The cardiac output of a trained individual would be higher than the untrained one.

• The VO2 of a trained individual would be higher than the untrained one.

• The stroke volume of a trained individual would be higher than the untrained one.

• The heart rate of a trained individual would be higher than the untrained one.

What is the role of the alveoli?

• to remove air
• allow air to travel to the alvelous
• gaseous exchange and diffusion
