Q

Sympathetic nervous system causes:

A
  • Decreased baroreceptor firing rate
  • Contriction of arterioles and veins (alpha receptors)
  • Incrases HR and contractility (B1 receptors)
  • Fluid retention by kidney

Q

Parasympathetic nervous system causes:

A
  • Increased baroreceptor firing rate
  • Decreased HR (vagus nerve to SA node)

Q

Draw the flow chart for Decreased MAP effects

A

Decreased MAP, need to INCREASE arterial pressure

17
Q

Draw the flow chart for INCREASED MAP

A

Need to DECREASE arterial pressure

18
Q

What happens to baroreceptors with people that have high blood pressure?

A

Able to adjust set-point to different conditions:

Hypertension is classic example

19
Q

What is the RAAS system?

A

Renin- Angiotensin II - Aldosterone System

20
Q

Function of RAAS system?

A

For long term adjustments in blood pressure by regulating blood volume:

Produces a hormonal response

21
Q

What is Renin?

What is the release stimulated by?

A

Enzyme secreted by the kidney into the bloodstream in response to a drop in BP

B1-adrenergic receptor activation

22
Q

Biochemically, what does Renin do?

A

Causes Angiotensinogen to be converted to Angiotensin I in the blood

Later on…

Angiotensin I is converted to antiotensin II in the lungs and kidneys to begin the compensation mechanism

23
Q

What type of cells secrete renin?

A

Juxtaglomerular (JG) cells

24
Q

Angiotensin II causes

A

1) Secretion of aldosterone from adrenal cortex –> leads to increased Na+ and H2O retention by kidney = Increased blood volume, preload/SV, CO and therefore BP!!!!
2) Secretion of ADH
3) Vasocontriction

25
Q

Describe the RAAS system in flow chart

A
26
Q

Vasopressin (ADH) acts at ____ and ____ receptors

A

V1 (smooth muscle)

V2 (colellecting ducts)

27
Q

Vasopressin (ADH) is secreted in response to…

A

Angiotensin II

Artial receptors (low preload)

Increased osmolarity of blood

28
Q

Function of ADH?

A

Increase TPR and water retention

29
Q

What are the three types of natruiuretic peptide?

A

Atrial (ANP)

Brain (BNP)

C-type (CNP)

30
Q

Function of natriuretic peptides?

A

Prevent overstretching the chambers of the heart

31
Q

Describe what happens in response to a hemorrhage

A
32
Q

This will be a test question: He loves exercise, said put a flag on this:

Describe the exercise response flow chart

A
33
Q

Firing:

What happens with:

Decreased pressure =

Increased pressure =

A

Decreased pressure = Firing rate goes down

Increased pressure = Firing rate goes up
