BRS - Cardiovascular Physiology Heart Flashcards
Cardiac output from the right side of the heart
Is the pulmonary outflow
Stressed volume
The blood volume contained in the arteries is called stressed volume
Where are the sight of the highest resistance in the cardiovascular system?
Arterioles
What regulates the arterioles?
The autonomic nervous system
Cardiac output from the left side of the heart:
Is the systemic blood flow
Where are β2-adrenergic receptor found?
They are found on:
- Arterioles of skeletal muscles
Where are α1-adrenergic receptor found?
They are found on:
- The arterioles of the skin, Splanchnic, and Renal circulations
Capillaries have:
Capillaries have the largest total cross-sectional and surface area
Where is the highest proportion of the blood in the cardiovascular system located?
Veins
Unstressed volume
The blood volumecontained in the veins
How is left artial pressure estimated?
Pulmonary wedge pressure
