Blood flow and metabolism Flashcards
Pressure that is the difference between inside snd outside of the capillaries
Transmural pressure
When lung volume increases, blood vessels increases their diameter hence pressure is _______
decreased
formula of vascular resistance
(input pressure-output pressure)/blood flow
about 1.7 mmhg/l/‘in
(15-5)/6
increase in pulmonary arterial or venous pressure causes pulmonary vascular residtanse to
FALL
term used as the pressure rises and vessels begin to conduct blood lowering resistance
chief mechanism for the fall in pulmo vascular resistance
Recruitment
2 mechanisms for decrease in pulmonary vascular resistance as vascular pressures are raised
Recruitment (opening of prev closed vessel)
Distension (inc in caliber)
predominant mechanism for the fall in PVR at high vascular pressure
distention
When lung volume is low, extra alveolar vessel has __________ resistance
HIGH resistance
at high lung vol, capillaries are stretched and caliber is reduced hence ______ in resistance
increase
Substance causing contraction of the Smooth muscles increasing PVR
serotonin
histamine
norepinephrine
endothelin
relaxes smooth muscles in pulmonary circulation
PD inhibitors
calcium channel blockers
Prostacyclin PGI2
acetylcholine
in exercise, PVR
decreases
(recruitment and distention of capillaries)
PVR increases at ______ lung volume
low
Measurement if pulmo blood flow can be measured using what principle
Fick principle
waterfall effect is also called
Starling resistor
sluice
flow in zone 3 is determined by
arterial venous pressure difference
increased in blood flow in zoe 3 is due to _______. of capillaries
distention
