nope.. the Max coronary blood flow is at the Max pumping pf heart, okay/
and thas the graph you see in this Qs !!!
So at the beginning of running, the pumping it canot be higher then at Maximun, correct ?
Then you have to look for a point that leads you to a lower pumping Press---> lower coronary flow... take a look at the kaplan physio book pg 102 where is described the regulation of the flow at the organ level ! smiling face

thank u ,undestood.so it is more volume but under same pressure during exercise.this is what i understood.

i still don't get it....i know coronaries get their flow during diastole, so during exercise HR increase , diastole decrease....so local vasoldialtors dilate them so blood flow increases.....but since in the picture thats the flow when they are maximum dilated.........i don't know ..i am confused with this question...

  #7

coronary circulation is controlled almost entirely by local metabolic factors, it is why i think it will increase on that graph.
during systole mechanical compression reduces blood flow, after that blood flow inc to repay the O2 debt (reactive hyperemia)
i would answer C
what is in your answers sheet?

  #8

whats the answer?????????????

  #9

its C...on the answers ive got from some girl who said the answers are corect
