Where in the body is the regulation of cardiac output centered?

The Cardiac Control Centre (CCC) is located in the brain, and controls the impulses created in the heart by the Synal Atrial node (SA node) as well as the impulses in the Atrioventricular node (AV node). The 'CCC' therefore controls systole in the atria and ventricles, and consequently heart rate is heightened or reduced based on the commands the Cardiac Control Centre gives out.

What are 2 nursing diagnosis for bradycardia?
Decreased Cardiac output r/t slow heart rate supplying inadequate amount of blood for body function. Ineffective Tissue perfusion:cerebral r/t decreased cardiac output secondary to bradycardia
What is the regulation of the body conditions within normal limits?
homeostasis
The vital centers the cardiac respiratory and vasomotor centers are located where in the body?
cerebellum
What happens to excess ATP in the body?
The regulation of glycolysis would take place
Why are the arterioles known as resistance vessels?
A. They distribute blood to various parts of the body. B. They contain a large quantity of elastic tissue. C. The contraction and relaxation of the smooth muscle in their walls can change their diameter. D. Their prime function is the exchange of nutrients and wastes between the blood and tissue cells.
What compensations does the body have to do to defend cardiac output if you hemorrhage?
what compensations does the body have to do to defend cardiac output
How does an increased or decreased cardiac output impact the body?
A decrease or increase of cardiac output in the body can result to several health problems depending on the body's health conditions. A stroke is prevalent if there is an increase of cardiac output that cannot be handled by the system. Lack of oxygen in the brain is an effect of a decrease cardiac output on the other hand.
Which is better cardiac output or cardiac index?
Cardiac index (CI) is better. Because you count with the body surface. When you have a cardiac output (CO) of certain value in a small and thin person, the same value can be insufficient in a tall and fat person. In CI you devide CO by the person's surface and you get much better idea of what's going on ;)

Why is pulmonary circulation different from all other circulation in the body?
your mom built it.
What does cardiac output do if heart rate increases?
because your muscles are working so much harder, they need more oxygen, and also produce more waste products. Your cardiac output increases so that the blood is pumped around the body faster to provide the oxygen required and remove any waste.
How would severe bleeding from a major veins affect heart rate and heart output?
Your cardiac output is equal to your stroke volume (amount of blood being pushed out every time your heart beats) multiplied by your heart rate. Your cardiac output equals the amount of circulating blood needed to function at a given time.Your body will try to compensate for any changes in the amount of blood in your system, therefore your body will always try to maintian cardiac output. With any type of major bleeding, your stroke volume will decrease. In order to maintain your cardiac output, your heart rate will increase. For example:(Stroke Volume of 50mL) x (Heart Rate of 60) = Cardiac Output of 300With major bleeding, the decrease in stroke volume will require an increase in heart rate:(Stroke Volume of 25mL) x (Heart Rate of 120) = Cardiac Output of 300You can see that the amount of blood decreased in half for every heart beat (50mL to 25mL), so the heart has to beat twice as fast (60 beats per minute to 120 beats per minute) to make up for the blood loss.
What is a uniquely sympathetic function?
regulation of body temperature
What do cardiac muscles do in the body?
Cardiac muscles help the heart. This is the only place in the body that cardiac muscle is located.
Is cardiac muscle in the brain?
The only Cardiac muscle in the body is the Heart.
What does cardiac and blood do for the heart?
Cardiac pumps the blood to different parts of your body.
What are the 3 kinds of muscle?
Skeletal, Smooth and Cardiac
