Q

What does arteriosclerosis do to blood pressures?

A

Arteriosclerosis will increase systolic blood pressure, pulse pressure, and mean arterial pressure - but will not really increase diastolic pressure

Q

What will aortic stenosis do to blood pressures?

A

Aortic Stenosis is a narrowing of the aorta, which will decrease systolic pressure, pulse pressure, and mean arterial pressure.

Q

What is the metabolic hypothesis for local control of blood flow?

A

States that oxygen delivery is matched to oxygen consumption. Vasodilatory metabolites are increased as a result of increased oxygen consumption.

Q

What is the myogenic hypothesis for local control of blood flow?

A

“Can explain only autoregulation. States that a stretch in smooth muscle will cause a contraction of the same smooth muscle, so increased blood pressure causes increase in resistance and reduction in blood flow. Also, greater shear stress is synonymous with greater pressure, so smooth muscle constricts in response.”
