Increases pressure in both capillary beds (glomerular and peritubular), increase flow
28
Effect of increasing resistance at afferent arterioles?

31
Parasympathetic and sympathetic pre/postganglions

35
NE is effector junction neurotransmitter for?
Sympathetic actions on both alpha and beta adrenergic receptors **EXCEPTION: ACh for sweat glands**
36
Termination of symp AP
Reuptake of neurotransmitter and degradative enzymes (MAO)
37
Alpha 1

38
Alpha 2
NE/E, presynaptic, decreases cAMP and inhibits NE release
39
Beta 1
NE/E, heart, increases cAMP, HR, FOC
40
Beta 2
E, bronchi, blood vessel wall, liver, skeletal mm, ciliary, increase cAMP causing relaxation
41
Choline acetyltransferase
makes ACh from choline and acetate, ACh is stored in vesicles and released upon Ca influx
42
Dopamine-beta-hydroxylase
converts Dopamine to NE (NE can then be converted to E in adrenal medulla)
43
Para/Symp actions on Bronchioles
b2 symp - increase radius | M3 para - decrease radius
44
Para/Symp actions on Heart
b1 symp - increase HR, inotropy, dromotropy | M2 para - decrease HR, inotropy, dromotropy
45
Para/Symp actions on blood vessels
a1 symp - decrease vessel radius, increase TPR b2 symp - increase vessel radius in skeletal mm No para actions
46
Para/Symp actions on liver
b2 symp - increase glycogenolysis/glucoNEO | No para actions
47
Short-term mechanisms for pressure change
Baroreceptors, monitor hr-hr, min-min changes, changes occur on the time course of second-minutes
48
High pressure baroreceptors
Arterial baroreceptors at carotid sinus (brain BF, more sensitive, signals through 9th cranial nerve) and aortic baroreceptors (body BF, signals through 10th cranial nerve)
49
Low pressure baroreceptors
In cardiac atria and pulmonary artery provide info on venous return, CVP, BV, A receptors (report HR), B receptors (report atrial volume)
50
Chemoreceptors
at carotid fork and arch of aorta, sense CO2 and O2 levels, regulate breathing
51
Firing of baroreceptors is proportional to?
Pressure
52
Cardiovascular center
Nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS) integrates signals, contains vasomotor center and cardioinhibitory center
53
Vasomotor center
activates SNS leads to vasoconstriction and positive chronotropic/inotropic response, receives INHIBITORY signal from NTS
54
Cardioinhibitory center
activates PNS leads to vasodilation and negative chronotropic/inotropic response, receives STIMULATORY signal from NTS
55
Factors that reset baroreceptor ranges
hypertension increases receptor range so that the reflex is sensitive over a wider range
56
Humoral control
modulates BP over longer time period, includes vasoactive substances and nonvasoactive substances
57
Vasoactive substance
released into the blood, affect vascular smooth muscle, modulates pressure and distribution of BF
58
Nonvasoactive substances
targets organs outside CV system, modulates effective circulatory volume
59
Epinephrine
binds a1 on smooth MM - vasoconstriction, binds b2 on cardiac MM, liver, skeletal muscle - vasodilation
60
Serotonin
5-HT, vasoconstriction, local mediator
61
Histamine
from mast cells, vasodilations
62
Angiotensin II
vasoconstriction, regulated by RAS
63
Atrial natriuretic peptide
ANP, vasodilator, release by atrial myocyte in response to stretch sensed by cardiopulmomary receptors, low pressure baroreceptors
64
Vasopressin
AVP/ADH, vasoconstrictor at high concentrations
65
Endothelins
ET, vasoconstrictor
66
RAS
1) low P or SNS stimulation triggers release of renin 2) renin hydrolyzes angiotensinogen (made in liver) to angiotensin I - weak vasoconstrictor 3) I converted to II - potent vasoconstrictor 4) II converted to III - weak
67
Ang II functions
vasoconstriction, stimulate thirst, ADH release, and aldosterone synthesis and release NET EFFECT: increase arterial pressure by increase TPR and BV
68
Vasopressin/ADH functions
stimulates renal collecting ducts to insert more AQP2
69
ANP functions
relaxes smooth MM, arterioles of kidneys to increase filtration and reduce renin release, inhibits aldosterone secretion, Na+ reabsorption, secretion of ADH NET EFFECT: decrease effective BV
70
Aldosterone function
released in response to increase AngII, acts on distal tubules of kidney to retain water by absorbing Na++ back into blood
71
NO function
sheer stress, bradykinin and ACh stimulate NO synthesis, which activates cGMP formation, PKG activation, and inhibits MLCK and activates SERCA pump which lead to vasodilation
72
Clinical relevance of NO
1) septic shock - toxins increase NO, causing systemic drop in TPR and BP 2) nitrates used to treat angina dilates resistance vessels and decreases TPR and afterload, as venodilator it decreases preload, SV and O2 demand
73
Does venoconstriction increase pressure?
Not substantially, usually only allows for faster blood flow
74
Orthostatic reflex
AoP - systolic decreases, diastolic increase CVP decreases CO decreases HR increases **all return to normal when walking, except HR which increases
75
Positive inotropic agents:
SNS, drugs
76
Negative inotropic agents:
CHF, MI, drugs
77
Cardiac function curve
function of heart as pump, starling curve, changes with inotropy, show CO for changes in venous pressure, direct relationship
78
Vascular function curve
how venous system responds to CO, inverse relationship, increases/decreases in BV (hyper/hypovolumia) moves curve upwards/downwards, changing arteriolar tone (TPR) has not effect on MCP but changes slope of curve
79
Respiration effect on CVP
Inhalation increase PL and SV in right heart and decreases them in the left Exhalation increases PL and SV in left heart and decreases them in the right
80
Vasodilation leads to?
Increases cap permeability, cap hydro pressure, cap filtration rate, interstitial hydro pressure, and lymph flow
81
Atherosclerosis leads to?
decrease arterial compliance, leading to increased systolic pressure and pulse pressure
82
PP is dependent on?
directly proportional to SV and inversely proportional to arterial compliance
83

8mmHg
