Medial
At rest % blood flow to the following areas: Renal: GI: Skeletal: Cerebral: Skin: Coronary:
25% 25% 25% 15% 5% 5%
Ohm’s Law:
Q = P/R
Pulmonary pressure originates:
Systemic pressure originates:
Right ventricle
Left ventricle
Systolic Pressure represents:
Diastolic Pressure represents:
Peak ejection pressure
Minimum pressure
What is meant by “diastolic runoff”?
The pressure exerted by the aorta that propels blood
What is the pressure storing effect of the aorta called?
Wind Kessel effect
What blood pressure measurement was invented by Korotkoff?
Auscultatoric
What blood pressure measurement uses electronic pressure sensor algorithm?
Oscillometric
MAP =
2/3 DP + 1/3 SP
DP + 1/3 PP
*PP = pule pressure (systolic - diastolic)
What is the sum of all resistance in the vasculature?
Total Peripheral Resistance (TPR)
or
Systemic Vascular Resistance (SVR)
What are the 3 sources of resistance in vasculature?
Viscosity
Length
Diameter
R=8 (viscosity) (length) / pi r to the 4th
What law?
What does this suggest?
Poiseuille’s Law
Radius is very important to resistance
Normal viscosity of blood is 4x thicker than…
Water
Anemia:
viscosity?
vascular resistance?
blood flow?
decrease
decrease
increase
Polycythemia:
viscosity?
vascular resistance?
blood flow?
increase
increase
decrease
Increasing vessels radius x2 increases flow…
Increasing vessel radius x4 increases flow…
16
256
Poiselle’s formula
How does vasoconstriction affect blood flow in arteries?
Why?
decreases blood flow
because elastic, pressure doesn’t build enough to increase flow
How does vasoconstriction affect blood flow in veins?
Increases flow
- pressure increases because lack of elastic structure
- *veins VERY sensitive to vasoconstriction/dilation
Q = P/R, analogous to:
CO = MAP / TPR
Short term regulation of Mean Arterial Pressure occurs via…
neural pathways
Long term regulation of Mean Arterial Pressure occurs via ____ and targets _____.
endocrine
kidneys and blood vessels
Where are the 2 primary baroreceptors that are involved in short-term regulation of the heart?
Carotid sinus
Aortic arch
What cranial nerves innervate the baroreceptors?
What is the destination in the brain?
Glossopharyngeal (IX) and Vagus (X)
Medullary cardiovascular (cardioregulatory) center of brainstem
What is the function of the Medullary Cardiovascular Center of brainstem?
Uses SNS or ParaNS in response to hyper/hypotension
Increasing constriction of veins will _____ venous return and ____ Mean systemic pressure.
Increase
Increase
T/F
Chronic hypertension can alter baroreceptor acuity
True
*allows hypertension to proceed unchecked
What do kidneys secrete in response to low BP?
Renin
What is the function of Renin?
Angiotensinogen > Angiotensin I
What secretes Angiotensinogen?
Liver
What enzyme converts Angiotensin I to Angiotensin II?
Where?
Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE)
Lungs
What are the 4 primary effects of Angiotensin II?
Increases Aldosterone
Increases Na+ and H+ exchange
Increases Thirst
Vasoconstricts and Increases TPR
How does RAA pathway react to hemorrhage?
Renin > Angiotensinogen > Angiotensin I > Lung > Angiotensin II > 4 things
ADH, aka…
Vasopressin
