27
Q

What is the result from delay of spread of electrical activation from atria to ventricles?

A

The delay allows atrial contraction to push an additional amount of blood into the ventricle before it contracts

28
Q

Which heart valves open (or close) during the diastole and systole of heart cycle?

A

In diastolic phase, AV valves (bicuspid and tricuspid) open and semilunar valves close. In systolic phase, AV valves close and semilunar valves open.

29
Q

What changes in the ventricular pressure during isovolumic contraction phase of cardiac cycle?

A

The begin of ventricular contraction causes leaflets of the mitral valve to close, continuation of ventricular muscle contraction will increases ventricular pressure very rapidly until it exceeds aortic pressure.

30
Q

What is the β adrenergic effect on the ventricular myocyte’s function?

A

It increases cAMP/PKA signal pathway which activates L-type calcium channels. Also, it causes release of free calcium from the
sarcoplasmic reticulum. The general result is to increase muscle contractility.

31
Q

What is the effect of activation of the baroreceptor reflex during hemorrhage?

A

Increase in heart rate due to activation of sympathetic tone on the vasculature

32
Q

If the systolic arterial pressure is 125 mmHg and the diastolic arterial pressure is 85 mmHg, what is the estimated mean arterial pressure?

A

98 mmHg

Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP)
MAP=Diastolic Pressure + (1/3)(Systolic-Diastolic)

33
Q

What is the effect of nitric oxide on vascular smooth muscle cell function?

A

Nitric oxide (NO) contributes to arteriolar vasodilation in the basal state

34
Q

What is active hyperemia?

A

increasing blood flow of an organ when its metabolic activity increases

35
Q

Where does the slowest velocity of blood flow occur?

A

Capillaries

36
Q

What happens to the capillary hydrostatic pressure when arteriolar constriction?

A

Decreases

37
Q

Where does the highest vascular resistance in the cardiovascular system occur?

A

Arterioles, where the large decrease in pressure within the systemic circulation take place

38
Q

What is the effect on the heart rate by decreasing parasympathetic stimulation?

A

Heart rate increases

39
Q

What mechanism by which the exchange of lipid-soluble substances (including CO2 and O2) across the capillary membrane occur?

A

Diffusion

40
Q

How do you determine the resistance to flow in a blood vessel?

A

R=(8Lviscosity)/(pi*r^4)

Sum to determine total resistance for vessels arranged in series. Sum the inverse to determine total resistance in parallel.

41
Q

Is flow in microcirculation assumed to be steady?

A

Yes

42
Q

Where is Nitric Oxide released from?

A

Arteriolar endothelial cells

43
Q

What does the Starling’s Law of Filtration predict?

A

Fluid movement=K*[(P_inside-P_outside)-(O_inside-O_outside)]

Less filtration if tissue hydrostatic pressure (Interstitial, PIF) increases; more filtration if plasma osmotic pressure decreases; Less filtration if the filtration coefficient decreases

44
Q

Is blood composed of approximately the same number of red blood cells and white blood cells?

A

No. Red blood cells constitute about 45% of whole blood volume. White blood cells make >1% of blood in a normal individual.

45
Q

Why is there decreased hematocrit in microcirculation?

A

The parabolic velocity profile in arterioles and venules with velocity higher near the center of the vessel; deformable red blood cells tend to be found more often closer to the center and away from the wall of the arterioles; plasma that near the wall of the arterioles tends to move more slowly.

46
Q

What types of cells are in microvessel other than hematic cells?

A

Endothelial cells, pericytes and smooth muscle cells

47
Q

What is the myogenic and metabolic vasodilator hypotheses of autoregulation?

A

Myogenic autoregulation depends on stretch activated ion channels in vascular smooth muscle that, when stretched, allow Ca2+ ions to enter and induce contraction. Metabolic autoregulation is thought to
be due, in part, to substances produced in the tissue, in proportion to metabolism, which are vasoactive (cause contraction or relaxation of vascular smooth muscle).

48
Q

What is The Fahraeus effect?

A

More red blood cells in arterioles than capillaries

49
Q

What percent of blood is carried by capillaries?

A

At any given moment capillaries contain 5% of the circulation blood volume

50
Q

How close are cells from capillary?

A

Diffusion distances are very small; most cells are not more than 0.1 mm away from a capillary

51
Q

What is the effect of venous constriction on the capillary hydrostatic pressure?

A

Increased

52
Q

What is the relationship between the arteriolar vasodilators production and the local oxygen level?

A

The production of vasodilators in inversely proportion to local oxygen levels

53
Q

Endothelial cells produce Nitric Oxide in response to what?

A

shear stress

54
Q

If the diameter of an arteriole decreases by a factor of two and the pressure drop across it and the viscosity remain constant, how much the flow through the arteriole will decrease?

A

By a factor of 16

55
Q

What is the effect of sympathetic stimulation on capillary hydrostatic pressure?

A

Decreased

56
Q

What factors determine the changes in mean arterial pressure?

A

cardiac output and/or total peripheral resistance

57
Q

Does parasympathetic stimulation control arteriolar resistance?

A

No or minimal

58
Q

How does a long-term regulation of blood pressure by kidney occur?

A

It regulates blood volume by adjusting salt and water excretion

59
Q

What is flow autoregulation?

A

Maintaining blood flow nearly constant in the face of pressure change

60
Q

What vascular region has the least amount of smooth muscle?

A

capillaries

61
Q

What is the most important factor in determining vascular resistance?

A

vascular diameter

62
Q

What are the nonadrenergic, noncholinergic autonomic neurons?

A

a third subsystem of neurons that use nitric oxide as a neurotransmitter have been described and found to be integral in autonomic function, particularly in the gut and the lungs

63
Q

Where is the most blood in the cardiovascular system?

A

veins

64
Q

How does the vasodilator production relate to local oxygen level?

A

inversely proportional

65
Q

Are endothelial cells involved in the myogenic response?

A

no
