(12) Regulation of Arterial Pressure (Rogers) Flashcards
What is the equation for mean arterial pressure?
***
MAP = CO x TPR = HR x SV x TPR
What is the normal mean arterial pressure value?
Normally 93.3 mmHg (around 100 mmHg)
Where are the two primary baroreceptors?
Carotid Sinus
Aortic Sinus
Where does the baroreceptor reflex travel up toward?
Nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS)
Mechanoreceptors respond to…
Changes in arterial pressure
Chemoreceptors respond to…
PO2, PCO2, pH
Baroreceptors will ______ firing rate in response to increased stretch
Increase
Baroreceptors will ______ firing rate in response to pressure dropping
Decrease
Role of nucleus of tractus solitarius (NTS)?
Receives and coordinates peripheral signals
Rostral ventrolateral medulla has __________ activiy with CV function
Sympathetic
Dorsal motor nucleus of the vaus and nucleus ambiguus has __________ activiy with CV function
Parasympathetic
TPR is heavily dependent on __________
Sympathetic stimulation of arterioles
Equation for CO?
CO = SV x HR
Sympathetic nervous system causes:
- Decreased baroreceptor firing rate
- Contriction of arterioles and veins (alpha receptors)
- Incrases HR and contractility (B1 receptors)
- Fluid retention by kidney
Parasympathetic nervous system causes:
- Increased baroreceptor firing rate
- Decreased HR (vagus nerve to SA node)
- Indirect vasodilation on blood vessels (e.g., stimulate NO release)
