  1. 1Q redistribution in exercise: key facts (regarding muscle and cornonary)Skeletal muscle can take up to 90% Q in exercise
    Coronary and skin also use a large proportion
    -Heart is highly oxidative taking 5% of Q at rest (0.25L) and 5% in exercise (1.25L)
    -our o2 extraction (by heart) at rest is 60-70%
    -rises to 90% in exercise and relies of coronary blood flow increase
    -level of 02 leaving the heart obviously declines
  2. 2metabolic factors influencing coronary circulationcoronary blood flow closely related to work rate
    -chronotropic metabolic factors work to increase HR
    -ionotropic will alter contractility
    -adenosine = main metabolic vasodilator
  3. 3mechanical factors regulating coronary BF-80% flow occurs in diastole due to vessel compression and reduced downstream perfusion in systole
    -rhythmic contractions impede flow profile
  4. 4exercise stress test for CHD-restricted coronary blood flow due to CAD can be detected
    -it can lead to downstream blockage as some vessels are undersupplied
    -if CAD is present tissue ischaemia can be observed on an EMG
    -cardiac cycle will shorten in exercise and HR will increase
    -diastole shortens more than systole meaning there is even less time for efficient flow
  5. 5summary of coronary circulation in exercise (iFADE)-potential for ischaemia
    -high flow to heart (highly oxidative tissue)
    -Adenosine = vasodilator to facilitate flow
    -Flow occurs in Diastole
    -High oxygen extraction
  6. 6cutaneous circulation in exercise-skin BF hard to measure due to huge surface area
    -100-300ml/min/m2 at rest
    -7-16L in exercise
    -neural regulation by adrenergic vasocontrictors and cholinergic vasodilators
  7. 7skin BF depends on:SNA
    -ambient temperature
    -core temperature
  8. 8thermoregulation with skin BF (heat and cold stress)heat stress: vasodilation to lose heat
    cold stress: increase constrictor activity to retain heat
  9. 9effect of exercise onset on skin BFat initial onset: vasoconstriction to redistribute Q to active muscle
    follwed by: vasodilation to thermoregulate and lose heat (inc. core temp)
  10. 10active vasodilation of skin in exercisedynamic exercise induces an active vasodilation at a HIGHER THRESHOLD than heating at rest
    -due to sympathetic cholinergic nerve activity and NO
  11. 11how can skin circulation control heart performance (BP)-In the heat, flow shifts from the core to the surface
    -the muscle pump is unable to assist with venous return
    -heart filling is reduced and we must vasoconstrict to maintain blood pressure
  12. 12sweating-sweat glands secrete a plama-like (but with no plasma proteins) hypotonic fluid
    -usually follows skin BF in exercise and heating
  13. 13Integrative control of CNSreceives input from:
    -central modifiers (acclimatization, hydration, circadian rhythm)
    -Thermoregulatory (internal temp)
    -non-thermoreg (baroreceptors, exercise)
  14. 14competing influences in dynamic exercise-vasoconstriction at exercise onset due to SNA (adrenergic)
    -active vasodilation at a threshold core temp to lose heat
    -vasoconstriction in prolonged exercise to maintain central blood volume and VR
  15. 15splanchnic BF in exercisesympathetic vasoconstrcition reduces flow
    -increased oxygen extraction from 15 to 75% to compensate
    -flow markedly reduces from 1500ml to only 350ml
    oxygen consumption remains at 50-60ml
  16. 16key facts about splanchnic circulation-contains 20-25% total BV
    -constriction/restriction of flow can add blood volume to heart and facilitate VR
    -flow is lower for any given o2 uptake in the heat, to direct flow to skin
  17. 17Renal BF in exercise-reduced flow from 1.2L to just 360ml
    -consumption increases x3 (6-18%)
    -potential for proteinurea
  18. 18catecholamine contribution to flow profile-in dynamic exercise NorA and Adrenaline increase to constrict vessels
    -NorA spillover from the muscle represents activation of SNS
    -adrenaline contricts vessels in dynamic exercise, acting on a-receptors
    -adrenaline dilates vessels via b-receptors in light exercise
  19. 19define static and dynamic exercise:static exercise involves muscle contraction and force generation without any muscle shortening
    -dynamic exercise involves muscular contraction and force generation which results in a change of joint angle
