The effects of exercise on cardiac output
n the anticipation phase is when the body is getting ready for exercise, so not only does SA and AV nodes speed up the contractions, to distribute blood round to the muscles faster. Blood is diverted ... of lactic acid, and get rid of Carbon dioxide. Therefore just as in the anticipation the SA and AV nodes will be sending bigger and faster electrical impulses to contract the atria and ventricles.In ...
