If graph ii depicts the changes in stroke volume (y axis) between rest and maximal intensity cycling exercise in a healthy untrained subject, what factors could be contributing to this change? a. two of these answers b. an increase in ventricular filling time C. an increase in TPR d none of these answers e. an increase in venous return

We demonstrated a couple different methods for determining blood pressure in lab X. Taking a subject's blood pressure using a stethoscope, blood pressure cuff and sphygmomanometer and noting when the Korotkoff sounds occur is a part of the _____ for determining blood pressure. a. none of these answers b. direct Korotkoff method C. indirect-oscillometric d. direct method e. indirect-auscultatory F. indirect-palpatory
e. indirect-auscultatory
If graph v depicts the changes in TPR (y axis) between rest and maximal intensity cycling exercise, how would this figure look different if the subject were performing isometric knee extensions? a. it would still decrease, but not as much b. it would remain relatively steady (neither increase or decrease) c. none of these answers d. it would be about the same e. it would increase instead of decrease
e. it would increase instead of decrease
If graph v depicts the changes in TPR (y axis) between rest and maximal intensity cycling exercise, what factors could be contributing to this change? a. the sympathetic nervous system b. two of these answers c. the parasympathetic nervous system d. high pCO2 and low pO2 in the systemic capillaries e. low pO2 and high pCO2 in the systemic capilarles
e. low pO2 and high pCO2 in the systemic capilarles
What does the 4th Korotkoff sound sound like? a. no sound b. somewhat loud tapping c. somewhat loud clicking d. hone of these answers e. muffled
e. muffled
What does the 5th Korotkoff sound sound like? a. somewhat loud tapping b. somewhat loud clicking c. none of these answers d. muffled tapping e. no sound
e. no sound
If graph iii depicts the changes in heart rate (y axis) between rest and maximal intensity cycling exercise, what is causing this change? a. three of these answers b. a decrease in acetylcholine release at the SA node c. more neurotransmitter binding with beta-1-adrenergic receptors d. an increase in sympathetic stimulation of the SA node e. none of these answers, the heart rate should never be zero for a living subject
e. none of these answers, the heart rate should never be zero for a living subject
During ACUTE exercise, which of the following would NOT be associated with an increase in EDV? a. an increase in preload b. all of these WOULD increase EDV c. an increase in muscle pump activity d. an increase in blood volume e. two of these f. an increase in activity of the respiratory pump (ventilation) g. an increase in afterload h. sympathetically mediated venoconstriction
e. two of these • an increase in boll volume would increase DV with chronic exercise (training), ut blood volume decreases during an acute bout of exercise, so this would NOT contribute to increaaes in EDV during exercise. • an in increase in preload, not afterload, is associated with an increased EDV.
