SARAHS MIDTERM TERMS TO KNOW
Test Your Cardiovascular Knowledge
Welcome to the ultimate quiz on cardiovascular terms and concepts! This quiz is designed for anyone looking to enhance their understanding of aerobic fitness, heart fun
Challenge yourself with 44 carefully crafted questions that cover:
- Maximal oxygen uptake (VO2)
- Heart rate variability
- Blood pressure categories
- Cardiac output and stroke volume
VO2 is defined as maximal oxygen uptake measured in mL/kG/min. If you have a higher number-is your aerobic fitness better or worse?
Better
Worse
What does dyspnea mean?
Shortness of breath
Increased heart beat
Decreased heart beat
Stroke volume is:
Total amount of blood in the body
The amount of blood ejected by contraction of the left ventricle
HR x stroke volume is:
Cardiac input/volume of blood inputed
Cardiac output/volume of blood ejected
Central hemodynamic effects means:
The decrease of oxygen in the blood
The flow of blood (including HR and BP)
Decreased heart beat
Ergo-receptors are present in skeletal muscle which are sensitive to the work of what?
Muscle
Capillaries
Tissue
Oxygen uptake per beat at rest is called:
Heart beat
Oxygen pulse
Heart pulse
Tachycardia means an increased heart beat over how many BPM?
150
200
100
Bradycardia means a decreased heart beat of how many BPM or less?
20
90
60
When the heartbeat starts in a part the heart other than the sinus node OR and abnormal rate OR rhythms develops in the sinus node?
Stroke volume
Heart beats per minute
Arrhythmia
Stiffness of the ventricle is called:
Tachycardia
Angina
Ventricular compliance
A stiff ventricle
Compliance refers to:
The ability of a hollow organ to hold its shape
The ability for the blood to flow
Arterial compliance is:
Lack of arteries in the body
Healthy arteries
Elasticity of the artery
Which have MORE compliance?
Veins
Arteries
The point at which there is not enough oxygen getting to the heart muscle is:
Heart rate threshold
Angina threshold
Artery threshold
Baroreceptors are sensors in the blood vessels that:
Sense when blood oxygen is low, causing fainting
Detect stretch in the vessel and sends a signal to the brain to increase or decrease peripheral resistance in the vessels/cardiac output
Detect heart beat irregularities
Syncope responses is the response to low blood flow to the brain caused by HYPOtension resulting in:
Increased blood volume going through the heart
Chronic fatigue
Fainting
The interval between heart beats is called:
Heart rate reserve
Heart rate per minute
Heart rate variability
Breathing, exercise, stress, blood flow and metabolic changes can contribute to:
Change in stroke volume
A healthy variable heart rate
An unhealthy variable heart rate
If someone is in flight or flight mode, their variation between heart beats (heart rate variability ) would be:
High
Low
If someone is in a relaxed state, their variation between heart beats (heart rate variability ) would be:
High
Low
Arteriovenous oxygen difference is:
The difference in oxygen content of the arterioles and venues
The difference between the oxygen in the blood in the heart and the rest of the body
Arteriovenous oxygen difference is caused by:
Decrease in cardiac output
Increase in cardiac output
Would physical exercise increase or decrease the Arteriovenous oxygen difference?
Increase
Decrease
Why does physical exercise increase Arteriovenous oxygen difference?
It decreases debris in blood
It clears blockages in the heart
The muscles become more efficient at extracting oxygen from the capillaries
Angina is:
A big problem
Chest pain or discomfort caused when your heart muscle doesn't get enough oxygen-rich blood
Where you struggle to breathe after exercise
HYPERtension is
140/90mm of Hg
120/80mm of Hg
90/60mm of Hg
HYPOtension is
140/90mm of Hg
120/80mm of Hg
90/60mm of Hg
Normal/average BP
140/90mm of Hg
120/80mm of Hg
90/60mm of Hg
Systolic BP number is the
Top
Bottom
Left
Right
Diastolic BP number is the
Top
Bottom
Left
Right
What is a myocardial infraction?
It is when blood flow does not reach the brain
It is when blood flow decreases or stops to a part of the heart, causing damage to the heart muscle
It is when a clot blocks blood flow to the eye balls
What is a heart attack?
It is when an artery supplying your heart with blood and oxygen becomes blocked
It is when you heart attacks your lungs for fun
It is when your veins collapse and cause little blood flow in the body
What is cardiac arrest?
It is the sudden loss of block flow to the lungs resulting in poor oxygen rich blood
It is the sudden loss of blood flow to the heart resulting from the failure of the heart to pump effectively
It is the sudden loss of block flow to the brain
Its when the police arrest your heart
T OR F: an embolism is a blockage- a fat globule (fat embolism), a bubble of air or other gas (gas embolism)
True
False
Fill in the BLANK: atherosclerosis is BLANK, that causes hypertension (140/90mL of Hg)
Blood flow
Plaque build up
Cheese in the blood
What is a stroke?
Heat stroke
Breast stroke
Is a sudden interruption in the blood supply of the brain
Blockage of blood to the heart
What type of stroke is caused by an abrupt blockage of arteries leading to the brain?
Breast stroke
Ischemic stroke
Hemorrhagic stroke
T or F: hemorrhagic strokes are caused by bleeding into brain tissue when a blood vessel bursts
True
False
Cannot be bothered to answer
Which type of stroke is the MOST common?
Ischemic
Hemorrhagic
Stroking a nacho chip in some fresh guac (this is technically accurate but please do no chose this one)
T or F: A ministroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) occurs when part of the brain experiences a temporary lack of blood flow
False
True
False-this is called a major stroke
T or f: thrombogenisis is creation of a the right environment to make a clot
True true trueee
False false falseee
True false true
False true false
Thrombosis is the action of when a clot forms- the clot is called the
Thrombus
Thrombosisisis
Throm(school)bus
Thrombokinetic
Fill in the BLANK: BLANK is a generalized thickening and stiffening of the arterial wall and is related to high blood pressure or hypertension
Arteriosclerosis
Ateriosclerosion
Arteriosclerosisters
Arteriosclerosistomy
