25
Hemodynamics
- physiology of blood flow -The heart provides force that drives blood through blood vessels by creating a pressure gradient (ex. of Gradients Core Principle - Pressure is highest near heart & decreases as blood moves further away -Blood flows down pressure gradient from area of higher P (near heart) to area of lower P (in peripheral vasculature
26
Blood pressure (mmHg) (Definition)
- outward force that blood exerts on walls of blood vessels
27
Blood pressure Varies highest...
in large systemic arteries
28
Blood pressure Varies Lowest...
in large systemic veins
29
Blood flow (vol. of blood/min) determined by 3 things:
1. Magnitude of BP gradient 2. Resistance (R) 3. Velocity
30
Blood flow: Magnitude of BP gradient
Generally, blood flow matches C.O. (avg. 5-6 L/min) Blood flow directly proportional to pressure gradient, (blood flow increases when pressure gradient incr.)
31
Blood flow: Resistance (R)
🔸️any impedance to blood flow 🔸️Blood flow inversely proportional to R
32
Blood flow: Velocity
related to X-sec. area -incr. branching incr. total x-sec. area - fastest in aorta, slowest in capillaries
33
BP influenced by 3 main factors:
1.Peripheral resistance (PR) 2. C.O. 3. Blood Volume
34
BP: Peripheral resistance (PR)
- any factor that hinders blood flow - PR is greatest further away from heart - as PR increases, BP increases - vessel radius, viscosity, vessel length
35
BP: C.O.=
SV x HR
36
BP: Blood Volume
influenced by water loss and gain
37
Pulmonary circuit BP is...
- 15 mmHg
38
Systemic circuit BP is...
95 mm Hg
39
Systolic BP is...
pressure averages 120 mm Hg
40
Diastolic BP is...
pressure averages -80 mm Hg (at rest)
41
Pulse pressure formula and it's BP
= systolic - diastolic pressures = ~ 40 mm Hg
42
MAP formula is? What does MAP stand for?
MAP = diastolic pressure + 1/3 (pulse pressure) Mean Arterial Pressure
43
Increase venous return: (4 things)
- Venous valves - SMC in vein walls VC by SNS - Skeletal muscle pumps - Respiratory pump
44
Neural and Hormonal control ANS
SNS & PSN
45
Neural and Hormonal control ANS: SNS
SNS release Epi & NEpi ➡️ VC ➡️ increase BP
46
Neural and Hormonal Control ANS: PSN
PSN ➡️ Ach ➡️ decreases C.O. ➡️ Decreases BP
47
Baroreceptor reflex: Location and is sent by which CN to where? & what response happens?
Carotid sinus & aortic arch→ via CN IX (Glossopharyngeal Nerve) to medulla oblongata→ PSN response by decr. BP or SNS response by increasing BP
48
Peripheral chemoreceptors
play a role in reg. breathing, but also affect BP; receptors respond to O2
49
Central chemoreceptors
Respond to decreases in pH in brain. Triggers another feedback loop that indirectly increases SNS; →VC and increase BP
50
Hormones that control PR (3 things)
- Adrenal medulla - Atria - Angiotensin II
51
Adrenal medulla→
Epi, NEpi → VC
52
Atria→
ANP→VD
53
Angiotensin II →
VC
54
Hormones that reg. blood volume
(RAAS) Kidneys →Renin→Angiotensin II→aldosterone→conserve H₂O Kidneys → ADH (Antidiuretic Hormone) → conserve H2O
55
Hypertension (Disorder of BP)
🔸️Hypertension >140/90 Essential (primary) hypertension - cause is unknown Secondary hypertension - cause can be determined
56
Hypotension (Disorder of BP)
systolic pressure < 90 mm Hg diastolic pressure < 60 mm Hg
57
Circulatory shock
= severe hypotension - due to hypovolemia
58
Capillary Exchange via:
1. Diffusion & osmosis (gaps) 2. Diffusion (membranes) 3. Transcytosis (Active process, ATP needed)
59
What are the 3 types of capillaries -
- Continuous Capillaries - Fenestrated capillaries -Sinusoidal Capillaries
60
Continuous Capillaries
skin, nervous, CT, muscle Most capillaries
61
Fenestrated capillaries
kidneys, endocrine, S.I.
62
Sinusoidal Capillaries
liver, lymphoid
63
Autoregulation (self-regulation)
- ensures that the correct amount of blood is delivered to match a tissue's level of activity At rest, ~25% of the body's capillary beds are fully open
64
Filtration
drives movement of water across cap. wall (passive process)
65
Hydrostatic pressure (HP)
moves water out of cap. 35 mmHg (arterial end) → 15 mmHg (venule end)
66
Osmotic pressure (OP)
draws fluid into cap. 25 mmHg throughout cap. bed
67
Osmotic pressure (Definition)
- Solute particles in a solution exert a force, or "pull," on water molecules called osmotic pressure (OP) - Osmotic pressure is determined by # of particles, not their size
68
Capillary net filtration pressure (NFP)
- colloid OP and HP gradient drive water in opposite directions
69
Net Filtration Pressure (NFP) formula:
HP- COP = NFP NFP is not exactly even at 2 ends of cap. bed - overall NFP favors filtration of water out of capillary Excess fluid in interstitium returned to blood via lymphatic system
70
Net Filtration Pressure (NFP) At arteriolar end:
At arteriolar end: 35 mm Hg - 22 mmHg = 13 mmHg (out of cap.)
71
Net Filtration Pressure (NFP) At venule end:
At venule end: 15 mmHg - 22 mmHg = -7 mmHg (into cap.)
72
Edema =
(Swelling) excessive amt. of H₂O in interstitial fluid
73
Edema cause:
-increase in CHP gradient due to HT -decrease in COP due to liver disease, cancer, or starvation - Peripheral edema - in hands and feet due to gravity - Ascites - accumulation of interstitial fluid in abdomen
74
Vasa vasorum
are small blood vessels that supply the walls of larger blood vessels with gas exchange, nutrients, and waste
75
Baroreceptor reflex what does it do?
cardiovascular reflex that regulates blood pressure by adjusting heart rate and blood vessel resistance
76
Hormones that control C.O.
Epi NEpi Thyroid hormone
77
Hypovolemia
A condition in which the liquid portion of the blood (plasma) is too low.
78
Pulse
Pressure changes causes arteries to expand and recoil with each heart beat
79
Pulsation/min =
HR (heart rate)
80
Hepatic portal circulation:
- Drains nutrient-rich, oxygen-poor blood from digestive organs Superior and inferior mesenteric veins → hepatic portal vein [A stop on the way to the hecart] Liver then detoxifies substances including drugs - blood then goes to
81
Blood flow through capillary beds: When precapillary sphincters are open:
Blood goes through capillary beds and thoroughfare channels
82
Blood flow through capillary beds: When precapillary sphincters are closed:
Blood only goes through thoroughfare channel
