A standing person lies down. Which of the following occurs?
Ans. b. Immediately increase in venous return to heart (Ref: Ganong23/e p515)Factors Affecting End Diastolic VolumeFactors Decreasing EDVFactors Increasing EDV* Increased intra-pericardial pressureQ (as a result of infection of pressure from a tumor):- Limits the extent to which ventricle can fill* Decrease in ventricular complianceQ:- Increase in ventricular stiffness produced by Ml, infiltrative disease.* Standing decreases venous returnQ* Increased total blood volume increases venous returnQ:- Constriction of vein reduces the size of venous reservoir, decreasing venous pooling and thus increasing venous return* Increased negative intrathoracic pressureQ:- Increases the pressure gradient along which blood flows to the heart* Muscle activityQ: Increases venous return as a result of pumping action
Increase in cerebral blood flow
Immediately increase in venous return to heart
Decreased blood flow to the apex of lung
Increase in heart rate
Circulation: Cardiac Output, Venous Return
