Cards

Term
vasoconstriction
Definition
narrow diameter of vessel
Term
vasodilation
Definition
widen the diameter of vessels
Term
blood flow is directly related to
Definition
change of pressure over resistance
Term
blood pressure is the highest..
Definition

in the arteries

decrases as it flows through the circulatory system due to resistance to flow by the vessels

Term
mean pressure
Definition
will be closer to diastole because diastole lasts longer
Term
pulse pressure
Definition
pressure of heart versus the pressure of the aorta
Term
kortokoff sounds
Definition
created by pulsatile blood flow thru the compressed artery
Term
mean arterial pressure
Definition
represents driving pressure
Term
cardiac output
Definition
blood flow into the arterial system
Term
Mean arterial pressure is directly related to
Definition
cardiac output (x) resistance in arterioles
Term
if cardiac output rises without a change in resistance..
Definition
mean arterial pressure rises because there is more blood flow into the arterial system than out
Term
blood volume is directly related to
Definition
blood pressure
Term
if the blood volume falls..
Definition
the kidneys conserve water and increased sympathetic activity causes vasoconstriction and increased heart rate
Term
veins hold
Definition
60% of circulating blood volume
Term
constricting veins
Definition
decreases pooling of blood in veins
Term
response map
Definition

blood volume increase

blood pressure increase

which triggers

a fast response or a slow response

Term
fast response
Definition

cardiovascular to

vasodilation or cardiac output

which both lead to low blood pressure

Term
slow response
Definition

kidneys which leads to

excretion of fluid

which leads to

lower blood pressure

Term
resistance is indirectly proportional to
Definition
the radius of the vessel
Term
arteriole resistance
Definition
influenced by systemic and local control mechanisms
Term
sympathetic reflexes
Definition

central nervous system

mantain mean arterial pressure

govern blood distribution for homeostatic needs

Term
local control
Definition
metabolic needs of the tissue determine the blood flow
Term
active hyperemia
Definition
as more blood is needed the resistance is decreased by dilating the ateriole, accomplished by paracrines
Term
hormones
Definition
influence blood pressure by acting directly on the aterioles and altering autonomic reflex control
Term
arteriole diameter
Definition
is controlled by tonic release or norepinefrin
Term
norepinefrin release increase
Definition
vessel constricts
Term
norepinefrin release decrease
Definition
vessel dilates
Term
when precapillary sphincters are relaxed
Definition
blood flows through all capillaries in the bed
Term
if precapillary sphincters constrict
Definition
blood flow bypasses capillaries complementary and flows through metarterioles
Term
bone marrow, liver, and spleen..
Definition
have sinuoids instead of capillaries
Term
exchange by paracellular pathway
Definition
in between endothelial cells
Term
exchange by transendothelial transport
Definition
transport through cell
Term
large proteins are transported by
Definition
transcytosis
Term
bulk flow
Definition
mass movement of fluid between blood/interstitial fluid as results of hydrostatic or osmotic pressure
Term
absorption
Definition
fluid movement into capillaries
Term
filtration
Definition

fluid movement out of capillaries

caused by hydrostatic pressure

net filtration at arterial end

Term
net pressure
Definition
hydrostatic pressure - colloid osmotic pressure
Term
hydrostatic pressure
Definition
forces fluid out of capillary
Term
colloid pressure of proteins within the capillary
Definition
pulls fluid into the capillary
Term
lymphatic system
Definition

returns fluid/proteins filtered out of capillarieds to circulatory system

picks up fat absorbed at the small intestine and transferd it to the circulatory system

filter for pathogens

Term
Central nervous system
Definition
coordinates the reflex control of blood
Term
medulla
Definition

main integrating center

maintain adequate blood flow to brain/heart

Term
baroreceptor reflex
Definition
primary homeostatic control for blood pressure
Term
baroreceptors
Definition
stretch-sensitive mechanoreceptors located in the walls of the aorta/arteries
Term
cardiovascular disease risks
Definition

not controllable:gender/age/family history

controllable: smoking/obesity/sedentary lifestyle/untreated hypertension

Term
HDL-C
Definition
towards heart
Term
LDL-C
Definition

back to heart

bad=high

Term
diabetic mellitus
Definition

metabollic disorder

blood sugar high

Term
intima
Definition
endothelial cells and elastic connective tissue in artery
Term
hypertension
Definition
relationship between blood pressure and the risk of developing cardiovascular disease
