Term
What is Blood flow through vessels dependent on? |
|
Definition
Pressure Gradient within the vessel and Resistance to blood flow. |
|
|
Term
Need (higher or lower) pressure at one end of the vessel which results from--. What maintains blood flow? |
|
Definition
Higher pressure results from heart contraction which forces blood into arteries. There must be a pressure gradient throughout the circulatory system. |
|
|
Term
What is resistnace to blood flow within the vessel caused by? What does more resistance mean? |
|
Definition
Caused by friction between blood and vessel wall. More resistance=harder for blood to flow through vessel. |
|
|
Term
Factors affecting resistance to flow. Which factors don't change. |
|
Definition
diameter of vessel, length of vessel, viscosity of fluid. Lenght and viscosity don't change. |
|
|
Term
What is blood viscosity dependent on? |
|
Definition
Amount of RBCs and proteins. |
|
|
Term
What is blood flow a balance between? |
|
Definition
pressure gradient (favors flow) and resistance (slows flow) |
|
|
Term
Where does most blood flow resistance occur in? |
|
Definition
Arterioles (resistance vessels) |
|
|
Term
How can resistance in arterioles be regulated by? |
|
Definition
Increasing or decreasing the diameter. |
|
|
Term
What type of muscle is in Arterioles walls? This causes what? |
|
Definition
Smooth muscle. Contraction causes shrinking diameter, and relaxation causes larger diameter |
|
|
Term
In arterioles smooth muscle cells are arranged in what way? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
|
Definition
decreasing diameter= increased resistance |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
increasing diameter- decreased resistance |
|
|
Term
Total Peripheral Resistance (TPR) |
|
Definition
sum of all resitance of all blood vessels within the systemic circuit |
|
|
Term
In a network of vessels, blood resistance depends on |
|
Definition
the resistance of all vessels. |
|
|
Term
What controls arterioles diameter and thus TPR |
|
Definition
Neural control, Sympathetic and Hormones |
|
|
Term
Sympathetic control of arteriolar diameter means, muscles have-- receptors, Norephinephrine causes --, and it (increases or decreases?) TPR? |
|
Definition
Adrenergic receptors, vasoconstriction, increases TPR |
|
|
Term
Which Hormones control of arteriolar diameter. What do these hormones cause? How fast does it change TPR? |
|
Definition
Epinephrine. Vasopressin (ADH). Angiotensin 2. All cause vasoconstriction and increase TPR. Long term changes |
|
|
Term
Epinephrine is released from --, binds to --, causes--, which causes TPR to --? |
|
Definition
Adrenal Medulla, alpha adrenergic receptors, vasoconstriction, Increases |
|
|
Term
Vasopressin (ADH) is secreated by--, causes -- water reabsorption by kidneys, which means--, Binds to --, causing-- |
|
Definition
Posterior pituitary, increases water reabsorption, minimizes loss of water, binds to arterioles smooth muscle cells, causing a contraction which causes Vasoconstriction, increasing TPR and has long term control of TPR |
|
|
Term
Angiotensin 2 is synthesized from precursor -- synthesized in --. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Pressure in the aorta and large arteries |
|
|
Term
Arterial Blood Pressure varies with- |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
Arterial Blood Pressure, systolic- |
|
Definition
maximum pressure. due to ejection of blood into aorta |
|
|
Term
Arterial Blood Pressure, diastolic |
|
Definition
minimun pressure, not zero bc of elastic recoil. |
|
|
Term
Mean Arterial Pressure= Regulated by- |
|
Definition
Average blood pressure in arteries over time. Cardiovascular center in brainstem |
|
|
Term
Controld of Mean Arterial Pressure depends on- |
|
Definition
Cardiac Output and Total Peripheral resistance (TPR) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
|
|
Term
|
Definition
hypertenstion, stress on heart and vessels |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
hypotenstion, inadequate blood flow to tissue |
|
|
Term
Parasympathetic Control of MAP- |
|
Definition
decreases HR decrease in Cardiac output, which decreases MAP. |
|
|
Term
Sympathetic control of MAP |
|
Definition
Increases, heart rate, stroke volume, TPR (vasoconstriction) which all increase MAP |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
control of map- negative feedback loop to maintain blood pressure at normal level |
|
|
Term
components of baroreceptor reflex |
|
Definition
detectors-baroreceptors= strecth in the walls of large arteries to monitor BP. Integration center- cardio control in brainstem, efferents- autonomic nervous syster effectos- heart and arterioles |
|
|
Term
Where are baroreceptors located? |
|
Definition
carotoid sinus and aortic arch |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
increases sympathetic input to heart and arterioles. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
increase parasympathetic input |
|
|
Term
Barorecptor reflex quickly to--, not to--. Long term regulation occurs throug- |
|
Definition
compensate for cahnges in BP. Not correcting problem. Long term reg. comes thru renal regulation of blood volume |
|
|
Term
Histamine released in allergic rxns causes: |
|
Definition
bodywise vasodilation, decreases TRP and MAP, bloodflow to organs= organ failure. |
