Explain how pre-load and afterload influence stroke volume.
Pre-load: stretch of cardiac myocytes. Increases stroke volume as EDV increases.
Afterload: pressure the heart has to pump against. Decreases stroke volume as afterload increases
Describe how a fat-soluble hormone increases protein synthesis.
Diffuses through cell membrane and attaches to receptor in the cytosol or nucleus. The complex then replicates DNA to make mRNA and then protein.
A 220 lb athlete has a VO2 maX of 50 ml/kg/min, what is his absolute VO2 max AND how many calories would he burn exercising at 70% of his VO2 max for 10 minutes? (Assume 5 kcal per liter of O2)
Absolute: 5 L/min
175 kcal
