ANP 1105 - Final Review Flashcards
What layer of blood vessel wall is critical for regulating circulatory dynamics?
Because it is the bulkiest layer in arteries
Maintains BP
The tunica media
Name an example of an Elastic (Conducting) Artery
Aorta and its major branches
What layer are capillaries made up of. Joined by what
tunica intima. Tight Junctions (for passage of fluids)
Pericytes in capillaries
spatially isolated contractile cells - controls blood flow
What type of capillary is the most permeable?
Sinusoid capillary
What is microcirculation in capillaries
blood flow from arterioles to venules
Where are mesenteric capillary beds found
In serous membranes of intestinal mesenteries
What promotes blood return in veins?
large-diameter lumen
Vascular Anastomoses
mulitple arteries leading to support one organ with blood (arterial anastomoses)
What are 3 factors that influence TPR
- Blood viscosity
- Blood vessel length
- Blood vessel diameter
What activation system makes venoconstriction occur
Sympathetic
3 ways that venous blood return can be aided
MRV
Muscular Pump, Respiratory Pump, Venoconstriction
Function of the medulla oblongata
Connects the brain to the spinal cord
Vasomotor center purpose
Sends impulses vasomotor fibers (sympathetic system) to constrict.
Continuous vessel constriction is called vasomotor tone
CV center responds to input from
3
Baroreceptors, chemoreceptors, and higher brain centers
Main function of carotid sinuses
Main blood supply to the brain
Baroreceptors. Basics of how it works
CV center
BRs get stretched sending impulses to the CV center. Activating the cardioinhibitory and vasomotor centers
Are baroreceptors for short or long-term aid? Give examples
Short - standing and bending
Chronic Hypertension
Baroreceptors
People with continuous high BP will develop hypertension because the BRs adapt to the high pressure changes.
Higher set point
Chemoreceptor main function
Increase CO which makes it so there is a rise in BP and more blood flow goes to the heart
Hormonal Regulation and how it is affected short-term and long-term
Short via PR
Long via blood volume
What does the adrenal medulla hormone release during stress periods?
Epinephrine and Norepinephrine
Result of low BP or BV in kidney
Water is conserved and returned to the bloodstream.
When does renin get released?
arterial blood pressure declines, certain cells in the kidney will release renin into the blood. Renin enzymatically spits angiotensin which will then help to stabilize the arterial blood pressure.
What is atherosclerosis
Buildup of plaque in the artery walls. Cause decrease in blood flow
3 types of circulatory shock
Hypovolemic shock - large-scale blood loss
Vascular - extreme vasodilation - slow blood flow
Cardiogenic - heart is so inefficient, cannot sustain adequate circulation
Tissue perfusion
blood flow through body tissues
Intrinsic control
2
metabolic and myogenic
Extrinsic controls
Neural and hormonal
Reactive vs. active hyperemia
Reactive - if there is a blood occlusion then there will be a blood flow response
Active - blood flow response to increase in tissue metabolic activity
Where are capillaries found?
Throughout the whole body, they exhange and diffuse nutrients to sustain the body. Found within all tissues and organs
How close are tissues with capillaries
Within 0.02 mm
How does the velocity of blood flow change throughout the different blood vessels
Fastest in aorta, then slowest in capillaries, then normal speed in veins (depending on where it is going)
Four routes to cross capillary
- Diffuse directly through endothelial membranes - lipid-soluble molecules (gases)
- Pass through clefts - water-soluble solutes
- Pass through fenestrations - water-soluble solutes
- Active transport via pinocytotic vesicles or caveolae - large molecules such as proteins
Lipid-soluble
Being able to dissolve in fats, oils, or fatty tissues
How much fluid is filtered out and reabsorbed back into the capillary bed?
20 L out of arterial end and 17 L into venous end
Quick and dirty way of talking about hydrostatic and colloid osmotic pressures
hydrostatic pressure pushes and OP sucks
Edema
Abnormal increase in the amount of interstitial fluid.
Pulmonary Circulation Loop
From systemic circulation into LV out to lungs back into heart then back out into systemic circulation to nourish the body
Systemic Circulation
Deoxygenated blood from RV -> oxygenated blood that gets pushed out aorta to capillaries around the body. Deoxy blood goes back to heart to get oxygenated
What pair of arteries stimulates the brain
internal carotid arteries
What is the circle of Willis
arteries
Cerebral arterial circle
Importance of mesenteric veins
organs
Mesenteric organ and veins attach all digestive ograns together in the abdomen
Hepatic veins function
Return low-oxygen blood back to the heart
How many L of lymph (fluid) are drained each day
3 L
Atherosclerosis
plaque build-up in arteries leading to possible heart failure
Aneurysm
bulge in a blood vessel that may burst and cause interanl bleeding
Where can pathogens and cancer cells travel
through lymphatic system
What are the lymphatic capillaries called
lacteals
Where is the cisterna chyli located near?
Lymphatic trunk
near lumbar trunks
Albumin and blood
protein that helps maintain the pressure in the arteries so that there isn’t too much, and the fluid can make it around the body
Is MAP closer to diastolic or systolic pressure
diastolic because the ventricles spend more time in diastole than systole
2/3s distole 1/3 systole
Which hormone primarily lowers blood pressure?
atrial natriuretic peptide
What is the net hydrostatic pressure found at the arterial end
34 mm Hg
Role of pulmonary veins
bring oxygen-rich blood from lungs to heart
Roles of superior and inferior vena cavae
Superior - brings oxygen-poor blood froma reas above the diaphragm
Inferior - brings from below the diaphragm
How to calculate NFP (net filtration pressure)?
add outward pressure together minus the addition of inward pressure (in towards the artery)
What is a nickname for veins
blood reservoirs
What fibers aid in vasoconstriction during SNS activity
vasomotor fibers
List 4 ways that lymph is transported
milked by skeletal muscle
pressure changes in thorax
valves to prevent backflow
contractions of SM in walls
thymus
lymphatics
a lymphoid organ situated in the neck of vertebrates that produces T cells for the immune system
