The Cardiovascular System
Heart rate, cardiac output and bradycardia
- 3 things to know
- Component 1
Overview
Stroke volume from end diastolic and end systolic volumes, cardiac output and its equation, Starling's law, resting, working, maximum and recovery heart rate, heart rate reserve, worked calculations and bradycardia.
What you need to know
Answer each one before you reveal it.
Describe how heart rate changes before, during and after a steady submaximal run.
Define stroke volume.
Questions from this subtopic
Each one with the model answer underneath.
- 1
Define stroke volume.
Model answer
Stroke volume is the volume of blood ejected from the left ventricle in one beat. Stroke volume is about 70 mL at rest in an untrained adult.
- 2
What are end diastolic volume and end systolic volume?
Model answer
End diastolic volume is the blood in the ventricle once filling is complete. End systolic volume is the blood left in the ventricle after it contracts.
- 3
How is stroke volume found from end diastolic and end systolic volumes?
Model answer
Stroke volume = end diastolic volume − end systolic volume.
- 4
Calculate the stroke volume of a student whose end diastolic volume is 130 mL and end systolic volume is 60 mL.
Model answer
The stroke volume is 70 mL. EDV − ESV = 130 mL − 60 mL = 70 mL.
- 5
Define cardiac output and give its equation.
Model answer
Cardiac output is the volume of blood pumped from the left ventricle each minute. Cardiac output = stroke volume × heart rate.
- 6
Calculate the cardiac output of a student with a stroke volume of 70 mL and a heart rate of 72 bpm.
Model answer
The cardiac output is about 5.0 L min⁻¹. Stroke volume × heart rate = 70 mL × 72 bpm = 5040 mL min⁻¹.
