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
Circular layers
Term
Vasoconstriction-
Definition
decreasing diameter= increased resistance
Term
Vasodialation
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
angiotensinogen, liver
Term
Arterial Blood Pressure
Definition
Pressure in the aorta and large arteries
Term
Arterial Blood Pressure varies with-
Definition
Cardiac Cycle
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
MAP=
Definition
(HR * SV) * TPR
Term
MAP greater than normal=
Definition
hypertenstion, stress on heart and vessels
Term
MAP less than normal=
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
Baroreceptor Reflex
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
Map too low=
Definition
increases sympathetic input to heart and arterioles.
Term
Map too high
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.
