Q

what effect does hypokalemia have on the cardiac myocyte cells

A

low extracellular K+ increases the gradient so intracellular K+ will want to move out of the cell quicker

  • inside of the cell becomes more negative as positive charge leaves
  • HYPERPOLARIZATION of the cell membrane, makes harder to get an action potential

76
Q

the carotid sinus has baroreceptors associated with _____nerve

A

glossopharyngeal

77
Q

the aortic arch has baroreceptors associate with the ____ nerve

A

vagus

78
Q

where do the baroreceptors travel to signal what the blood pressure is

A

medulla

79
Q

when the blood pressure increases, the baroreceptors fire ____ action potentials

A

more

80
Q

these constantly send action potentials to the brain and alert the medulla what the blood pressure (MABP) is

A

baroreceptors

81
Q

what happens when you have a high BP sensed by the baroreceptors

A
  • sensed by baroreceptors in the carotid sinus and aortic arch
  • this increases firing in the glossopharyngeal nerve and vagus nerve
  • action potentials reach medulla
  • medulla sends a vagal efferent output to SA and AV node to decrease HR and decrease CO and decrease BP
  • inhibit sympathetics
82
Q

what happens when you have a low BP

A

same as high blood pressure but slow action potentials and medulla sends vagal efferent to SA and AV node to increase HR, increase CO, and increase BP
-inhibit parasympathetics

83
Q

condition when baroreceptors do not work properly

A

orthostatic hypotension

84
Q

2 long term regulations of BP

A
  1. antidiuretic hormone

2. RAAS system

85
Q

where is the antidiuretic hormone (vasopressin) released from?

A

posterior pituitary when you have low BP or low blood volume

86
Q

mechanism of antidiuretic hormone

A
  1. promotes water retention
    - kidneys excrete water and blood vessels reabsorb the water
  2. vasoconstriction
87
Q

mechanism of the RAAS system to raise BP

A
  1. low BP is sensed by kidneys
  2. increase renin production
  3. renin convertis angiotension (liver) to angiotension I
  4. in the prescence of ACE from the lung/ kidneys, angiotension I is converted to angiotension II
  5. angiotension II activates the sympathetic nervous system and cause Na+ reabsorption and water retention
  6. adrenal cortex secretes aldosterone that also helps with Na+ retention and water retention
  7. angiotension II induces vasoconstriction
  8. induces secretion of ADH from posterior pituitary to promote water reabsorption
88
Q

the best target for hypertension

A

RAAS system

89
Q

why does obesity correlate with hypertension

A

adipocytes carry angiotension, renin, angiotension I, and ACE— all necessary for aldosterone and Angiotension II to promote vasoconstriction and increase Na+ and water reabsorption

90
Q

atrial and brain natriuretic peptides

A

another mechanism for blood pressure regulation

91
Q

what natriuretic peptides increase as atria and ventricles stretch?

A

increase in ANP and BNP

92
Q

what natriuretic peptides should you look for in patients with heart failure

A

elevated ANP and BNP

93
Q

effects of elevated ANP and BNP

A
  1. decrease renin
  2. direct vasodilation
  3. increase in globular filtration rate
    = naturesis and diuresis (excrete salt and water)
    =decrease BP and blood volume
94
Q

response by kidneys from hemorrage

A

secrete renin and angiotension to induce vasoconstriction

95
Q

response by hormones released by the heart from hemorrage

A

decrease in ANP and BNP

96
Q

neural response by baroreceptors from hemorrage

A

baroreceptors tell the sympathetic nervous system to increase firing of action potentials and increase HR

97
Q

high blood pressure medications reduce the afterload or preload on the heart

A

afterload
