Document Summary

1: cardiac output during exercise, cardiac output and oxygen transport. Cardiac output (q) - the amount of __blood___ pumped by either the left or right ventricle of the heart per _minute___. Both the left and right ventricles must have the __same___ cardiac output so that blood flow through the pulmonary and systemic circuits is maintained equally. Stroke volume - the amount of __blood__ pumped by either the left or right ventricle per __beat__. Cardiac output = ___heart rate____ x __stroke volume____ Since the blood transports __oxygen___, when cardiac output increases in exercise more ___oxygen___ will be transported to the working muscles. This relationship can be expressed by the fick equation: Vo2 = hr x sv x (a-vo2) diff where: vo2 = _oxygen__ uptake or utilization by the tissues in the body (a-vo2) diff = arterial-mixed venous __oxygen__ difference. Therefore, in order to increase oxygen uptake, you must increase ___cardiac output___ and/or extract more __oxygen___ from the arterial blood.
