Chapter 21 part 2 Flashcards
Peripheral resistance (PR)
opposition to blood flow caused by friction of blood against the wall of the blood vessel
6 factors affecting blood pressure
- vessel diameter
- vessel length
- viscosity
- cardiac output
- Blood volume
- blood flow
vessel diameter
- changes mostly occur in ____
- 2 types
- arterioles
- vasoconstriction
- vasodilation
- vasoconstriction
vasoconstriction
- definition
- effect on PR
- effect on BP
- diameter decreases
- increases
- increases
vasodilation
- definition
- effect on PR
- effect on BP
- diameter increases
- decreases
- decrease
Vessel length
-2 functions
- growth
2. weight gain
vessel length increases
- effect on PR
- effect on BP
- increases
- increases
vessel length decreases
- effect on PR
- effect on BP
- decreases
- decreases
viscosity
-definition
thickness of the blood (hematocrit)
increase thickness of blood
- effect on PR
- effect on BP
- increases
- increases
decrease thickness of blood
- effect on PR
- effect on BP
- decreases
- decreases
increased cardio output
- formula
- effect of BP
- HR x SV
- increases
decreased cardio output
- formula
- effect on BP
- HR x SV
- decreases
increased blood vol.
- effect on SV

- effect on CO
- effect on BP
- decreases
- decreases
- decreases
increased blood flow
-effect on BP
-increases
decreased blood flow
-effect on BP
-decreases
Autoregulation
- definition
- 2 components
- LOCAL regulation within capillary bed of tissue in response to localized changes
- local vasoconstrictors
- local vasodilators
- local vasoconstrictors
what does the term “local” mean
happens at the tissue level
local vasoconstrictors
- 2 examples
- released by what
- response to
- protaglandins
- thromboxanes
- protaglandins
- activated platelets and WBCs
- damage to vessels
local vasodilators
-5 functions
- decrease tissue O2
- increase tissue CO2
- increase K+ or H+
- Histamines
- increase temp
central nervous system
- definition
- when is it brought in
- location
- 2 centers
adjusts cardiac output and peripheral resistance to maintain blood flow
- when autoregulation cant keep up we bring this in
- medulla oblongata
- cardiac center
- vasomotor center
- cardiac center
cardiac center
-2 centers within this
- cardioaccelatory center
2. cardioinhibitory center
cardioaccelatory center
- NS
- effect on CO
- sympathetic
- increases
cardioinhibitory center
- NS
- effect on CO
- parasympathetic
- decreases
vasomotor center
- contains what
- 2 components
- contains 2 populations of neurons
- vasoconstriction
- vasoconstriction
- vasoconstriction
Vasoconstriction is vasomotor center
- releases what
- type of receptor
- effect on PR
- norepinephrine
- adrenergic
- increases
vasodilation is vasomotor center
- releases what
- type of receptor
- effect on PR
- epinephrine
- cholinergic
- decreases
Chemical and hormones regulating BP
- definition
- vasoconstrictors (3)
- vasodilators (2)
- enhances short term effects and directs long term changes
- norepinephrine, angiotensin, antidiuretic hormone
- nitric oxide (NO), atrial natriuretic peptide
