Cardiac key terms and SV

The term used to describe the highest rate at which the heart can beat during maximum physical exertion is called:

• Maximum Heart Rate

• Resting Heart Rate

• Target Heart Rate

• Recovery Heart Rate

The cardiac factor that refers to the volume of blood pumped by the heart in one minute is known as:

• Stroke Volume

• Cardiac Output

• Heart Rate

• Blood Pressure

What is the term for a slower than normal heart rate?

• Bradycardia

• Tachycardia

• Arrhythmia

• Hypertension

The cardiac factor measured in beats per minute is:

• Blood Pressure

• Heart Rate

• Stroke Volume

• Cardiac Output

The term for the amount of blood ejected by the left ventricle of the heart in one contraction is called:

• Stroke Volume

• Cardiac Output

• Heart Rate

• Blood Pressure

What factors increase cardiac output?

At what point does stroke volume plateau due to lack of venous return?

• During moderate exercise

• At rest

• During maximal exercise

• During sleep

What is the blood flow per minute at rest according to the cardiac output diagram?

• 5 liters per minute

• 3 liters per minute

• 7 liters per minute

• 10 liters per minute

What does SV increase due to?

• Venous return

• Less blood in heart

• Increased diastolic filling

• Starling's Law

Fill in the blank: This is known as _______ Law (more stretch = more forceful contraction).

• Starling's

• Newton's

• Ohm's

• Boyle's
