Chapter 10 Flashcards
Decreased firing of a baroreceptor does what to MAP? (increase or decrease)
Increase
Vasoconstriction of arterioles does what to MAP? (increase or decrease) and how?
Increase; increase resistance
Increased blood volume does what to MAP? (increase or decrease) and how?
Increase; increase stroke volume and increase cardiac output
Increased parasympathetic tone does what to MAP? (increase or decrease) and how?
decrease; decrease heart rate which decreases cardiac output
Decreased venous capacitance does what to MAP? (increase or decrease) and how?
increase; heart gets more blood (veins hold less) which increases venous return, increases stroke volume, and increases cardiac output
What happens when the distance between cells and the blood are increased?
rate of diffusion decreases
what happens if arterial end pressure increases?
hypertension, increase mean arterial pressure
What is edema caused by?
- increased permeability of capillary walls (more pores on capillary beds)
- reduction of plasma proteins
- increased venous pressure
- blockage of lymph vessels
histamine
Vasodilator of arterioles (increases permeability of capillary walls)
What does increased permeability of capillary walls do to reabsorption and filtration?
decreased reabsorption and increased filtration
what does a reduction in plasma proteins do to reabsorption?
decrease reabsorption
what is the main cause of congestive heart failure?
increased venous pressure
what causes elaphantitis?
blockage of lymph vessels

true
what pressure is the elasticity of the skin partially responsible for?
hydrostatic pressure of interstitial fluid
hydrostatic capillary pressure/ capillary blood pressure
Pc
plasma-colloid osmotic pressure

π IF
In or out: Capillary blood pressure

In or out: plasma-colloid osmotic pressure
in
In or out: interstitial hydrostatic pressure
in
In or out: interstitial colloid-osmotic pressure
out

how do veins serve as a blood reservoir?
don’t recoil
How do veins increase cardiac output?
increased alpha-1 stimulation
How is resistance and blood flow affected by a large radius in veins?
decrease resistance and increase blood flow
t/f: veins are capacitance vessels
true
t/f: veins are responsible for volume and arterioles are responsible for pressure
true
t/f: arteries have more collagen fibers which make them more durable
false
t/f: veins don’t recoil until alpha-1 tells them to
true
what does an increase in venous capacity do to venous return?
decrease
what is venous capacity?
holding blood in the veins and not returning the blood to the heart
t/f: minimal constriction of veins due to sympathetic activity increases flow
true
what does arteriolar constriction do to flow? venous return? cardiac output? heart contractility?
decrease all
what does arteriolar dilation do to flow? venous return? cardiac output? heart contractility?
increase all
what does sympathetic activity do to venous capacity?
decrease
what does skeletal muscle do for venous return?
facilitate it
What does standing on your feet too long cause?
blood pooling in the lower extremities
how do veins help return blood to the heart when standing?
valves in veins break up the pressure gradient
t/f: venous valves prevent backflow
true
what does breathing in do to venous return, stroke volume, and pressure?
increase; increase; decrease
cardiac suction effect
decrease pressure in heart causing an increasing in pressure gradient, leads to increase in venous return
pressure imparted to blood by cardiac contraction
increase venous pressure causing increase in pressure gradient, lead to increase venous return
increase in sympathetic vasoconstrictor activity
increase venous pressure causing increase pressure gradient; decrease venous capacity, leads to increase venous return
skeletal muscle pump
increase venous return causing increase in pressure gradient; leads to increase venous return
respiratory pump
decrease pressure in chest veins causing increase in venous return; leads to increase venous return
how is blood volume increased
passive bulk-flow shift of fluid from ISF to plasma and salt & water retention
increase in blood volume
increase venous pressure causing increase pressure gradient; leads to increase venous return
how is mean arterial pressure affected by blood volume
increased blood volume increases venous return, which increases stroke volume, which increases cardiac output, which increases MAP
how is mean arterial pressure affected by respiratory activity
increase resp. activity increases venous return, which increases stroke volume, which increases cardiac output, which increases MAP
how is mean arterial pressure affected by skeletal muscle activity
1: increase skeletal muscle activity increases venous return, which increase stroke volume, which increases cardiac output, which increases MAP
2: increase skeletal muscle activity causes local metabolic control which increases the arteriolar radius (dilation), which decreases TPR which increases MAP
baroreceptor reflex
affect heart rate and TPR, monitors MAP
how do baroreceptors make short term adjustments
change cardiac output and total peripheral resistance via autonomics
how do baroreceptors make long-term adjustments
increase total blood volume and increase cardiac output
carotid sinus baroreceptor
regulates blood flow to brain, sensitive to external pressure
aortic arch baroreceptors
only triggered after significant decrease in blood pressure
baroreceptor reflex in response to an increase in blood pressure
increased blood pressure above normal → increase carotid sinus and aortic arch receptor potential → increase rate of firing in afferent nerves → cardiovascular system → decrease symp. cardiac nerve activity, decrease symp. vasoconstrictor nerve activity, increase parasymp. activity → decrease heart rate, decrease stroke volume, arteriolar and venous dilation → decrease cardiac output and decrease TPR → decrease blood pressure to normal
baroreceptor reflex in response to a decrease in blood pressure
decrease carotid sinus and aortic arch receptor potential → decrease rate of firing in afferent neurons → cardiovascular center → increase symp. cardiac nerve activity, increase symp. vasoconstrictor nerve activity, and decrease parasymp. nerve activity → increase heart rate, increase stroke volume, and arteriolar and venous constriction → increase cardiac output and increase TPR → bring blood pressure back up to normal
increasing MAP does what to parasymp tone? symp. tone?
increase parasymp. tone, decrease symp. tone (decrease HR)
decreasing MAP does what to parasymp tone? symp. tone?
decrease parasymp. tone, increase symp. tone (increase HR)
t/f: the body is more adapted to respond to an increase in BP than a decrease in BP
false
where are osmoreceptors and volume receptors found?
hypothalamus, kidney, and atria
What do osmoreceptors and volume receptors do?
