1.

How blood flow is redistributed when exercising (pick 2)

a)

arterioles vasodilate to direct blood to active muscles

b)

veins will vasodilate so blood goes to digestive system

c)

arteries will send blood to the brain

d)

arterioles vasoconstrict to direct blood away from inactive organs

2.

what is the effect of Starling's Law on stroke volume (pick 2)

a)

venous return (blood back to heart) increases

b)

cardiac output lowers with less blood

c)

stroke volume will increase as more blood fills the heart

d)

stroke volume will decrease

3.

what is starlings law?

a)

when we breath in deeper we breath out harder

b)

As the heart fills with blood it wont pump harder

c)

As the heart fills with more blood it will force the blood out faster

d)

diastolic and systolic is the same

4.

what is systole and diastole (pick 2)

a)

systole is when the heart forces blood in to the atria

b)

diastole is when the heart contracts

c)

diastole is when the heart is relaxed and fills with blood

d)

systole is when the ventricles contract and force blood out

5.

what is the effect of capillarisation on diffusion rate in the working muscles

a)

more capillaries decreases the exchange of gases in the muscle

b)

less capillaries will help diffusion

c)

more capillaries will increase gas exchange and diffusion in the muscle

d)

more capillaries will have no effect in the diffusion rate

6.

what will happen to blood pressure during isometric contraction

a)

increases

b)

decreases

c)

no change

7.

which response occurs first in the body when we exercise

a)

heart rate lowers

b)

anticipatory rise from adrenaline

c)

blood pressure increases

d)

adrenaline lowers

8.

What is the equation for cardiac output

a)

CO = BP x BR

b)

Q = HR x TV

c)

Q = SV x HR

d)

CO = HR x SV

9.

why does blood flow change during exercise (pick 2)

a)

increase delivery of O2 to working muscles

b)

decrease stroke volume

c)

removal of CO2/waste from the muscles

d)

decrease breathing rate

10.

Functions of the CV system (pick 3)

a)

Directs blood

b)

Transports O2 and nutrients

c)

helps us breath faster

d)

removes waste products

e)

slows down the brain

11.

what is stroke volume

a)

volume of blood per minute

b)

volume of air per minute

c)

volume of blood per beat

d)

volume of blood and air per minute

12.

what is cardiac output

a)

volume of blood per minute

b)

volume of air per minute

c)

volume of blood per beat

d)

volume of blood and air per minute

13.

when the heart rate is lower than 60bpm this is known as

a)

tachycardia

b)

sinus arrhythmia

c)

wave summation

d)

bradycardia

14.

when the heart rate is higher than 100 this is known as

a)

tachycardia normal in exercise

b)

sinus arrhythmia normal in exercise

c)

wave summation

d)

bradycardia normal for athletes

15.

Resistance to blood flow is a combination of... (pick 2)

a)

thickness of blood

b)

low breathing rate

c)

size of blood vessels

d)

high respiratory reserve volume

16.

what do baroreceptors detect

a)

chemicals

b)

hormones

c)

pressure

d)

temperature

17.

A signal being sent down the parasympathetic nervous system to the heart will...

a)

speed up the heart

b)

speed up breathing rate

c)

slow down the heart rate

d)

reduce blood resistance

18.

What is Arteriovenous oxygen difference (a-VO2 diff)

a)

difference of blood flow in the muscle

b)

difference of blood O2 in the arterial blood compared to the venous blood

c)

difference of CO2 entering and leaving the lungs

d)

difference of lactic acid in the muscle before and after
