Cardiovascular drugs Flashcards
when VR decrease, SV will (increase / decrease)
decrease
cardiac contractility is (directly / inversely) proportional to Stokes volume
Directly proportional
Venous return is also known as
cardiac preload or end diastolic ventricular volume
vasoconstriction will lead to (increase / decrease) venous tone
increase venous tone
BP is a Variable or Constant
Variable
what are the two mechanisms for BP regulation
- Baroreceptor reflex arc
* RAAS
Baroreceptors are found in the
carotid arteries and aortic arch
when there is stimulus in baroreceptors, there will be a (increase / decrease) in HR
decrease in HR and Vasodilation
Renin is found in the
Kidneys specifically the juxtaglomerular apparatus
angiotensinogen is synthesized by the
liver
it is a potent vasoconstrictor
Angiotensin II
Aldosterone is secreted by the
zona glomerulosa of adrenal cortex
Zone for Sex hormones
zona reticularis
zone for mineralocorticoids
zona glomerulosa
What are the zones that adrenal cortex contain
GFR Zona: -glomerulosa -fasciculata -reticularis
responsible for reabsorption / retention of Na and water and excretion of K ions
Aldosterone
venous vasoconstriction (increase / decrease) VR
decrease
what are the effects of Angiotensin II
- vasoconstriction of veins and arteries
- increase NE release
- aldosterone secretion
