Q

poiselle hagen

A

small increase radius, huge increase flow

36
Q

viscocity

A

decreases turbulence, increases resistance, blood in small vessels less viscous as RBC goes to centre\
high haematocrit -> increased resistance -> increased BP

37
Q

Compliance vs resistance vessels

A

resistance - small arteries, arterioles and pre capillary sphincters
compliance most - veins v compliant (50% circulating volume in veins)

38
Q

Pulse pressure

A

increases with age and excercise, decreases with hypovolaemia

39
Q

Medullary control BP

A

Low BP -> RVLM -> IML column -> symp activation and renin
High BP -> IX +X -> nucleus tractus solitaris -> glutanate to CVLM -> GABA to RVLM

40
Q

Bainbridge reflex

A

atrial stretch leads to vasodilation but increased HR
atrial receptors - A - systole, B - diastole

41
Q

Prostacyclin and thromboxane A2
aspirin effect

A

both from arachidonic acid made via cox pathway
Prostacyclin from endothelium - vasodilation and inhibs plt aggregation
Thromboxane from plt - aggregation and vasoconstriction
aspirin - inhibits cox, longer lasting plt effect as half life plt 4 days

42
Q

Endothelin

A

vasoconstrictor from endothelial layer
