Q

coagulation

A

blood clotting (hemostasis)
- activate prothrombinase > prothrombin to thrombin > fibrinogen to fibrin

  • factors are proteins in plasma that circulate inactively until tissues are damaged; when platelets adhere the activations begin
  • blood clot: fibrin fibers, trapped blood cells, platelets and fluid

extrinsic clotting pathway

A
  • begin w chemicals outside of blood

stage 1: damaged tissues release TF3; Ca present makes TF3 + TF7 = TF 10; form prothrombinase

stage 2: prothrombinase turn prothrombin > thrombin

stage 3: thrombin turn fibrinogen > fibrin
and thrombin activate TF13 to stabilize clot

Q

extrinsic heart regulation

A

neural and hormonal control of heart
- parasympathetic: vagus nerve decreases HR, ACh repolarizes heart
- sympathetic: cardiac nerves SA and AV nodes, increase HR, epinephrine and norepinephrine released.
increased HR = increase CO = low end diastolic = less refill
- hormonal: epinephrine and norepinephrine when increased PA, emotions and stress

25
heart homeostasis
- blood pressure: baroreceptors monitor BP, internal pressure of carotid and aorta, send info to medulla - pH, CO2, O2: measurements taken in hypothalamus, chemoreceptors monitor low O2 to increase HR and O2 delivery - extracellular ion conc: increase/decrease K = increase HR - body temp: HR and temp both will increase or decrease
26
baroreceptor and chemoreceptor reflexes
- baroreceptors affect heart homeostasis and monitor BP - chemoreceptors determine heart beat w O2 - CO2 receptors monitor pH in CSF (no bicarbonate in CSF)
27
dynamics of blood circulation
Interrelationships between Pressure Flow Resistance Control mechanisms that regulate blood pressure and blood flow
28
laminar flow
- interior of blood vessels is smooth - outer layer is slow, middle is fast - slow and easy (sound dissipates) - no sound = no turbulence
29
turbulent flow
- interrupted blood flow - rate of flow exceed critical velocity - due to blockage, bend, rough surface - sound is due to abnormal blood flowing; increase thrombosis
30
blood flow
rate of flow through tube expressed as volume pass specific point at certain time. flow = (point1-point2/resistance) - BP increase = blood flow increase - resistance increase = blood flow decrease - resistance = 8vl/(pi)r^4
31
blood pressure variables
viscosity (how much solute in solvent): more solute = more viscous length of vessel (increase length = increase resistance) radius: moves faster down middle of tube as sides have friction (decrease radius = more friction = slow) (increase radius = less friction = fast)
32
Poisuelle's Law
- flow decrease when resistance increase (vise versa) (resistance is proportional to diameter) Flow = (P1 -P2)/R - p(P1 -P2)r4/8vl
33
viscosity
resistance to liquid to flow - More solute in solvent = higher viscosity Viscosity increase = decrease in flow Viscosity in humans from dehydration = more plasma Reduce viscosity and resistance to blood flow if hydration (also increase BP) Fill blood w more plasma = more volume = more pressure on walls of arteries/veins
34
critical closing pressure
Pressure at which a blood vessel collapses and blood flow stops
35
Laplace's Law
-Forces act on blood vessel wall proportional to diameter of vessel times blood pressure -F = D x BP -Max dilation = max pressure on walls
36
vascular compliance
Tendency for blood vessel volume to increase as blood pressure increases
37
compliance
*increase in volume/Increase in pressure -More easily the vessel wall stretches, the greater its compliance -Venous system has a large compliance (24 times greater than that of arteries) and acts as a blood reservoir
38
capillary exchange
movement of substances between blood and interstitial fluid (most important is diffusion) - lipid soluble thru PM (O2, CO2, hormones, FA) - water soluble thru intercellular space (AA, glucose) - BP drop if too much blood lost (thru fenestrated caps) - some fluid is picked up by lymphatic system
39
fluid exchange across capillary walls
net filtration pressure (NFP) (force move fluid across) - hydrostatic pressure higher at arterial end - osmotic pressure remains the same thru out - water flow out at arterial end; in at venous end - more fluid escapes than is reabsorbed (lose plasma - picked up by lymph syst)
40
hydrostatic pressure
pressure of fluids in a closed space; generally higher in capillaries than tissues therefore fluid wants to escape capillaries - mvmnt of blood flow due to heart beat
41
osmotic pressure
pressure that must be applied to the solution side to stop fluid movement when a semipermeable membrane separates a solution from pure water. - more solute in blood than tissues; water enter capillaries
42
pressure equations
NFP = hydrostatic - osmotic hydrostatic = BP - IFP osmotic = BCOP - ICOP
43
BCOP
blood colloid osmotic pressure - more colloids in blood (trapped (-) ions) that pull on water - cause pull of fluid back into capillary
44
ICOP
interstitial fluid colloid osmotic pressure - amount of colloids in IF -If lose plasma (ICOP>BCOP) mean increase blood viscosity and increase resistance
45
capillary fluid exchange
- as blood enters arterial end BCOP will try to pull some fluid out since it is greater than ICOP - hydrostatic pressure > osmotic pressure = some plasma leaves - at the venous end osmotic > hydrostatic - 10% taken by lymphatic system, other 90% by BCOP
46
edema
capillaries break and proteins move into IF which increases ICOP and so fluid moves from caps to IF = swelling - inflammatory chem increase permeability - decrease plasma protein = increase BCOP
47
veins
- move blood due to hydrostatic pressure in arterial end - venous tone: continual state of partial contraction of veins as result of sympathetic stimulation (increase w activity)
48
Control of Blood flow in tissues
Local control: proportional to metabolic need of tissue Nervous System: routing bf and maintaining bp Hormonal Control: stimulate epinephrine and norepinephrine
49
Local Control of blood flow
Can increase 7-8x due to vasodilation and precap sphincters Vasomotion: contract/relax of precap sphincter. Autoregulation Long-term local control: capillaries more dense in areas with Increased metabolic rate
50
Regulate of Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP)
MAP slightly less than SBP and DBP bc DBP longer - 70mmHg at birth; 100mmHg adult; 110mmHg elder - MAP = (sv)(hr) x (pr) : all increase w each other
51
peripheral resistance
opposition to blood flow caused by friction of the blood vessel walls
52
stroke volume
The amount of blood ejected from the heart in one contraction -More SV = greater systolic = close more rapid = leave heart faster harder - affected by PR
53
baroreceptor reflex
change in peripheral resistance, HR, SV, in response to changes in BP (orthostatic hypotension) (lower BP>vasodilate>increase BP) - sx standing or sitting - Orthostatic hypotension
54
Chemoreceptors:
-sensory receptors to O2, CO2, pH of blood (to monitor pH is to monitor CO2 - behind pons)
55
CNS ischemic response
-Increase BP due to lack of blood flow to medulla oblongata -In response to emerg (shock) and BP decrease to 50 mmHg -Neurons of vasomotor center strongly stimulated; increase blood flow to vessels and also decrease oxygenation of blood as not go to lungs -Blood O2 levels drop bc not getting to lungs to exchange -Initial response: blood to brain ASAP>respiratory not stimulate, drop BP by vasodilation
56
Long-Term regulation of BP
RAA mechanism : Vasopressin (ADH): Atrial natriuretic mechanism: Fluid shift mechanism Stress-Relaxation Response
57
renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system
-release more Na into interstitial fluid in cells in kidney > more water out of kidney > increase osmotic gradient outside cell (less water leave) - Decreased BP liver (want to increase plasma: drink water and reduce urine) -Renin from kidney due to BP activate angiotensinogen to angiotensin 1 > lungs become angiotensin 2 > liver (adrenal gland) to release aldosterone back to kidney = increase extracellular Na and decrease volume of urine
58
Vasopressin (ADH) Mechanism
- collecting duct more permeable to water (osmotic gradient out) = more water goes out of collecting duct (decrease urine, increases plasma) - Oxytocin and ADH -Vasopressin released effect permeability of collecting duct (allows water) -Vasopressin lack: collecting duct non permeable to water -Increase permeability will decrease urine volume
59
atrial natriuretic hormone
cause decrease permeability of collecting duct by shut down ADH effects (increase urine, decrease plasma) released from cardiac muscle cells when atrial blood pressure increases, simulating an increase in urinary production, causing a decrease in blood volume and blood pressure blood at RA > RA walls swell > release ANH Only on to control high blood pressure w/ urine
60
Fluid Shift
movement of fluid from interstitial spaces into capillaries in response to decrease in blood pressure to maintain blood volume and vice versa BCOP increase and draw in fluid
