Document Summary
Vo2 = hr x sv (heart) x (a-vo2diff) (tissue) If we know what the heart is doing (cardiac output-blood flow) and we know arterial venous o2 difference, we can determine what is being delivered to the tissue. Arterial side- blood leaving heart- resistance vessels: can change diameter quickly, creates more resistance, enables us to distribute blood flow to different areas of the body. Venous side- capacitance: where we store the blood at rest o. 64% of the 5l is located on this side. Vo2 of the brain can double during cerebral activity (20w) Inferior/superior vena cava brings blood to heart right atrium tricuspid right ventricle pulmonary arteries pumping deoxygenated blood to lungs. Lungs pulmonary veins left atrium bicuspid left ventricle. Heart requires blood itself from coronary arteries (aerobic muscle) Doesn"t conduct electricity well, doesn"t enter the ventricles for some period of time. Pushes blood up to the top of the heart.
