the objective of the second part of the course is the learning of the adaptations to the exercise of the cardiovascular, respiratory, muscular and endocrine
Course contents
CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM: Overview of the cardiovascular system: blood flow through the heart and vessels; Functional properties of heart tissue: excitability, contractility, rhythmicity, conductivity; Electrical activity of the heart: conduction system, diffusion of excitation, ionic bases of electrical activity; The cardiac cycle: cardiac pump cycle, ventricular pressure and atrial pressure, aortic pressure, ventricular volume; Cardiac output and its control: innervation of the heart, effect of heart rate variations, effect of ventricular ejection volume variations; Systemic circulation: characteristics of the vessels, flow regulation
KIDNEY SYSTEM: Functional anatomy of the urinary system; The processes leading to the formation of urine: filtration, reabsorption, secretion; Body water balance: counter-current mechanism, role of ADH; Acid-base balance
