32
Q

Arterial anastomoses

A

Arteries supplying the same area as vascular anastomoses

33
Q

Collateral channels

A

Alternate pathway for blood to reach a region

34
Q

Arterial anastomoses occurs where?

A

Joints
Abdominal organs
Brain
Heart

35
Q

Arteries that do not anastomoses

A

Retina
Kidneys
Spleen

36
Q

Blood flow

A

Volume of blood flowing through through a vessel, organ, entire circulation

37
Q

BP

A

Force per unit area excerpted on a vessel wall by the contained blood

38
Q

Resistance

A

Opposition to flow

Measure if the amount of friction blood encounters as it passes through the vessels

39
Q

Blood viscosity

A

Internal resistance to flow

40
Q

Total blood vessel length

A

Relationship between total blood vessel length and resistance

41
Q

What 2 factors does arterial bp reflect?

A

How much the elasric arteries close to the heart stretch

The volume of the blood forced onto them at any time

42
Q

Systolic pressure

A

Left ventricle contracts and the pressure peaks as it goes into the aorta

43
Q

Diastolic pressure

A

Aortic valves closes

Aortic pressure drops to the lowest

44
Q

Pulse pressure

A

Difference between systolic and diastolic pressures

45
Q

Increased SV and faster blood ejection=

A

Increases contractility

46
Q

MAP

A

Mean arterial pressure

Pressure that propels the blood to the tissues

47
Q

Formula for MAP

A

MAP=diastolic pressure + pulse pressure/3

48
Q

Respiratory pump

A

Pressure in the chest decreases thoracic veins to expand and speeds blood entry into right atrium

49
Q

Muscular pump

A

Keeps blood from flowing back as the skeletal muscles contract and relax

50
Q

Short-term control

A

Mediated by the nervous system

Counteract fluctuations in blood pressure by altering resistance

51
Q

Brutal controls of peripheral resistance are directed at 2 goals

A

Maintaining adequate MAPLtwring blood distribution to respond to different demands of various organs

52
Q

Most neural controls operate by reflex arcs by…

A

Baroreceptors

53
Q

Sometimes inputs from chemoreceptors will

A

Influence the neural control mechanism

54
Q

Vasomotor center

A

Neural center that oversees changes in the diameter of blood vessels

55
Q

Cardiovascular center

A

Integrates bp control by alternating CO and blood vessel diameter

56
Q

Vasomotor fibers

A

vasomotor center Transmits impulses at a steady rate along sympathetic efferents

57
Q

Vasomotor tone

A

Arterioles are in a state if moderate constriction

58
Q

vasomotor activity is modified by inputs from

A

Baroreceptors
Chemoreceptors
Higher brain centers

59
Q

Baroreceptors

A

Neural receptors

60
Q

Paracrines

A

Serve to match the amount of blood flow to the metabolic need of a particular tissue

61
Q

Adrenal medulla hormones

A

Release norepinephrine and epinephrine to the blood to the sympathetic response

62
Q

Angiotensin II

A

An enzyme that results from renin

63
Q

Arterial natriuretic peptide ANP

A

Hormone that the heart produces which causes blood volume and blood pressure to decline

64
Q

Anti diuretic hormone ADH (vasopressin)

A

Stimulates the kidneys to conserve water

65
Q

Long term controls of bp counteract fluctuations in bp by altering blood volume.

A

altering blood volume.

66
Q

Renin angiotensin mechanism

A

Indirect renal mechanism

67
Q

Aldosterone

A

Hormone that enhances renal absorption

68
Q

Tissue perfusion

A

Blood flow through body tissues

69
Q

Tissue perforation is involved in

A

Divert of oxygen and nutrients to tissue cells

Removal if waste from tissue cells
Gas exchange in lungs
Absorption of nutrients from digestive tract
Urine formation

70
Q

Autoregulation

A

Automatic adjustment of the blood flow to each tissue

71
Q

Nitric oxide

A

Vasodilator

Releases when vasodilation is needed

72
Q

Endothelial

A

Vasoconstrictor

73
Q

4 routes across capillaries for different molecules

A

Lipid-soluble molecules diffuse through a lipid bilayer

  • fluid-filled intercellular capillary clefts
  • fenestrations
  • lg molecules transported in pinocytotic vesicles
74
Q

Hydrostatic pressure

A

Force excerted by a fluid pressing against the wall.

75
Q

Colloid osmotic pressure

A

Created by the presence Ina fluid of lg nondifusable molecules

76
Q

Circulatory shock

A

Blood vessels are I adequately filled and blood cannot circulate normally.

77
Q

Hypovolemic shock

A

Loss of blood

78
Q

Vascular shock

A

Blood volume normal but circulation is poor due to abnormal expansion of the vascular bed caused by extreme vasodilation

79
Q

Arteries run deep and veins run deep and superficial

A

deep and superficial
