Dehydration reduces blood volume. How would this affect cardiac output? Explain. Describe how each of the following could impact stroke volume. 1. Damage to the conduction system of the heart. 2. A blockage in one of the coronary arteries.

Step 1
This can lead to a decrease in cardiac output, which is the amount of blood pumped by the heart per minute. Now, let's look at how damage to the conduction system of the heart and a blockage in one of the coronary arteries can impact stroke volume. Show more…

Explain stroke volume, cardiac output, heart rate. List the relation between these 3 variables. What variable does Increasing and decreasing venous return directly effect. (If you are looking to really put a bigger understanding, explain the length tension relation with stroke volume and how different length-tension values drive differences in cardiac output. Can you explain changes to heart rate and if these changes affect cardiac output or stroke volume.

How could the heart compensate to maintain proper blood flow with a leaky atrioventricular valve? (Choose all that apply) - Increase the force of contraction - Increase heart rate - Decrease viscosity of blood - Increase diameter of arteries How could the heart compensate to maintain proper blood flow with a constricted semilunar valve? (Choose all that apply) - Increase the force of contraction - Increase heart rate - Decrease viscosity of blood - Increase diameter of arteries

Using your knowledge of cardiac circulation, explain the flow of blood through the heart. What would cause Aunt May's weakness and shortness of breath during her sudden attack? 3. What is the job of the coronary arteries? What happens to their ability to do their job if they become narrowed by fatty or mineralized deposits? 4. Why are the coronary arteries so easily blocked by floating embolisms?
