a.
To determine:
If both stroke volume and heart rate increases, cardiac output (a) stays the same, (b) increases, or (c) decreases and to determine whether the relationship between these two variables and cardiac output is inverse or direct.
Concept introduction:
The amount of blood, which is pumped by either ventricle in one minute, is known as “cardiac output” (
To determine:
When both stroke volume and heart rate increases, cardiac output stays the same or not.
b.
To determine:
When both stroke volume and heart rate increases, cardiac output increases or not.
c.
To determine:
When both stroke volume and heart rate increases, cardiac output decreases or not.

- Does the human heart spend more time in diastole or more time in systole (assume a heart rate of 72 beats per minute)? Of what benefit is this?arrow_forwardUsing information provided in the text, calculate the power generated by the right ventricle during (a) restful state; blood flow 5 liter/min, and (b) intense activity; blood flow 25 liter/min.arrow_forwardConsider the ventricular cardiomyocyte action potential shown below: a) Which phase of the cardiac myocyte action potential would be most significantly affected by the L-type calcium channel blocker nifedipine? b) Draw the predicted effects of nifedipine on the cardiac myocyte action potential.arrow_forward
- Exercise-induced stress increases cardiac output and vasoconstriction, so why does the amplitude of the pulse change the way it does (compare this to what happens during the dive response)?arrow_forwardSue goes to the gym and after an initial warm-up, she increases her exercise level pushing herself to maximum. At this point her heart rate is 175 beats/min and her stroke volume is 135 ml/beat. What is her cardiac output now? At this point, by how many ml/min has her CO increased over her resting CO? What % increase over resting is this? (Use the following equation). amount of increase in CO in ml/min % increase = _____________ X 100% original CO (resting) ml/min What term is used to describe this increase in CO?arrow_forwardExcess extracellular potassium functions to: (A) decrease the resting membrane potential of the ventricular contractile celle (B) decrease the force of contraction (C) initially increase the heart rate (D) A and B (E) all of the abovearrow_forward
- Assume that one ventricle of a child’s heart has an EDV of 90 mL, an ESV of 60 mL, and a cardiac output of 2.55 L/min. What are the child’s stroke volume (SV), ejection fraction (EF), and heart rate (HR)?a. SV = 60 mL; EF = 33%; HR = 85 bpmb. SV = 30 mL; EF = 60%; HR = 75 bpmc. SV = 150 mL; EF = 67%; HR = 42 bpmd. SV = 30 mL; EF = 33%; HR = 85 bpme. Not enough information is given to calculate these.arrow_forwardThere are three major factors that affect stroke volume and therefore affect cardiac output: afterload, preload, and contractility. Select two of these factors and explain how and why each affects cardiac output.arrow_forward1)An increase in total peripheral resistance, all else remaining the same, will cause an increase in mean arterial pressure.True/False 2) We care about mean arterial pressure specifically because we care about having an appropriate rate of blood flow through capillaries. True/False 3) A person's L-type channels are mutated so that they do not inactivate. How would this affect the time duration of a cardiac action potential? Group of answer choices a)Increase b)No change c)Decrease 4) A person' L-type channels are mutated so that they do not inactivate. How would this affect the time duration of a cardiac muscle cell contraction? Group of answer choices a)Increase b)No change c)Decreasearrow_forward
- As a result of ventricular depolarization (T wave), calcium ions are returned to the sarcoplasmic reticulum and ventricular muscles relax. As the myocardium relaxes, the semilunar valves close. At this time which of the following is true? Group of answer choices (A) ventricular pressure > aortic pressure > atrial pressure (B) atrial pressure > ventricular pressure > aortic pressure (C) aortic pressure > ventricular pressure > atrial pressure (D) aortic pressure > atrial pressure > ventricular pressurearrow_forwardThe effective-refractory period present during Phase 2 of the actionpotential of ventricular myocytes:A)is relatively long because the Na+ current does not inactivate. B) is relatively long because K+ current is immediately activated once membrane potential becomes positive. C) prevents tetanus in the heart. D) is about twice as long as in skeletal musclearrow_forwardWhen a heart is transplanted into a patient, it is not possible to connect autonomic neurons from the medullary cardiovascular centers to the new heart. Will such a patient be able to increase cardiac output during exercise? Hint: Recall the effects of circulating catecholamines and changes in venous return on cardiac output.arrow_forward
