Q

Baroreceptor reflex mechanism?

A

Setpoint Pa compared to actual Pa,
feedback signal proportional to difference,
brain responds until difference = 0

Q

Interruption in efferent branch of baroreceptor reflex results in what?

A

↓ Pa

which indicates ↑ resting symp tone and basal (resting) activity of C1, A1 vasomotor area of medulla

17
Q

A Fibers found where?

A

entry to R atrium

18
Q

A Fibers do what?

A

signal pressure ↑ associated w/ atrial contraction

19
Q

B Fibers found where?

A

superior and inferior vena cavae

20
Q

B Fibers do what?

A

signal pressure ↑ associated w/ vent contraction

21
Q

↑ pressure in vena cavae indicates what?

Produces what?

A

↑ venous return to R heart

reflex ↑ HR,
renal vasodilation,
↓ in AVP (antidiuretic hormone)

22
Q

What is Brainbridge Reflex?

A

reflexive ↑ in HR

23
Q

Purpose of renal vasodilation?

A

↑ renal bloodflow and urine output

causing ↓ circulating volume

24
Q

Purpose of reducing AVP release?

A

↓ AVP = ↓ H2O reabsorption from kidney

causing ↓ circulating volume

25
Q

Summary: when high pressure baroreceptors (arterial side) sense ↑P, reflex response does what?

A

↓ BP

26
Q

Summary: when low pressure receptors (venous side) sense ↑P, reflex response does what?

A

↓ blood volume

27
Q

Compliance eqn

A

C = V/P

typically, ↓ V means ↓ P and ↑ V means ↑ P

28
Q

Atrial Natriuretic Peptide (ANP) promotes what?

A

Na+ and H2O excretion in kidney ->

reduces effective circulating volume

29
Q

↑ venous return causes ↑ what?

A

atrial stretch

30
Q

↑ atrial stretch affects release of ANP how?

A

↑ release of ANP

31
Q

Summary:
High Pressure Baroreceptors’ primary output variable is?

Control what end of circulation?

Type of control?

A

Pa (mean arterial pressure)

arterial end

short term control

32
Q

Renin-Angiotensin System for interm/long term BP control fxns primarily by regulating what?

A

effective circulating volume

33
Q

Summary:

Chemoreceptor Integrated Response involves control of what?

A

ventilation and secondary effects on HR

34
Q

Summary:
Low Pressure Receptors response is to do what?

Controls what end of circulation?

Output Variable is?

A

↑ HR (thru Bainbridge reflex)

venous end

↑ in effective circulating volume

35
Q

Summary:
Renin-Angiotensin activated by?

Controls what end of circulation?

Primary output variable is?

A

Sympathetic NS

renal perfusion

effective circulating volume

36
Q

Pa eqn

A

CO x TPR

TPR = total peripheral resistance

37
Q

Which receptors are more sensitive to pressure changes, aortic or carotid sinus?

A

carotid sinus

Ѧ ∆ in carotid sinus P causes > compensatory effect on Pa than a ∆ in aortic pressure

38
Q

5 kinds of Vasoconstrictors?

A

1) Epi (α1)
2) Serotonin
3) Ang II
4) AVP
5) Endothelin

39
Q

5 kinds of Vasodilators?

A

1) Epi (β2)
2) Histamine
3) ANP
4) Bradykinins
5) PGE2, PGI2, NO
