1. When going from a lying to a standing position select what occurs (increase, decrease or no change) to each of the following parameters:
Venous return
Stroke volume
Cardiac output
Mean arterial pressure
Now consider and select what would be the compensatory changes in the following paramters:
Baroreceptor signalling
Sympathetic activity
Parasympathetic activity
Heart rate
Total peripheral resistance
Venous return
Stroke volume
Cardiac output
2. When jogging, what occurs (increase, decrease or no change) to each of the follwoing parameters:
-Sympathetic activity
-Cardiac output
-Venous return
-Mean arterial pressure
-Total peripheral resistance
3. When performing static exercise such as the biceps curl, what occurs (increase, decrease or no change) to each of the following parameters:
-Sympathetic activity
-Cardiac output
-Total peripheral resistance
-Mean arterial pressure
-Heart rate
4. You have been to the blood bank and have given approximately a half litre of blood. What would initially occur (increase, decrease or no change) to the following parameters?
-Venous return
-Stroke volume
-Cardiac output
-Mean arterial pressure
Now, what would the compensatory changes be to the following parameters?
-Sympathetic activity
-Heart rate
-Total peripheral resistance
