Blood pressure regulation Flashcards
Difference of pressure and mean pressure of artery
mean = Diastolic P + 1/3 pulse P
Pulse P is systolic - diastolic
Why pulse P can travel faster than blood w/in artery
They are independent occurences
Pulse P is a shock wave
Why does shape of PP change down arterial tree
it changes as velocity changes
Less compliant arteries leads to faster PP
Elasticity and velocity
Reciprocal relationship
As E increases PP decreases
Vasoconstriction effects
Arterial diastolic bp increases
Capillary Hydrostatic pressure decreases
Vasodilation effects
Arterial diastolic P decreases, CHP increases due to increased B volume
Vasoconstriction on tone
Stimulation on alpha 1 R
Resistance increased
Reduced blood perfusion
Capillary P decreases
Vasodilation on tone
Reduction of alpha 1 R
Increase in B flow to arteriolar diameter
Diastolic P decreases
Capillary P increases
PARASYMPATHETIC
NO EFFECT OF VESSEL DIAMETER
Vasoconstrictor center
P center
Groups of cells that when stimulated result in vasoconstriction
Vasodilator center
depressor center
Group of cells when stimulated result in vasodilation of areterioles
Cardioexcitatory center
When stimulated causes an increase in sympathetic activity
Increased HR, contractility and conduction velocity of AP
Beta 1 R
Cardioinhibitory center
Increase vagus tone results in decreased heart rate
Baroreceptors decreased stimulation
Activate Vasoconstrictor centers
Baroreceptors increased stimulation
activation of vasodilator center increases vagal tone
