Circulation Flashcards
Vasodilation is caused by
Parasympathetic
Vasoconstriction is caused from
Sympathetic
Increase resistance =
Increase BP
Elasticity
⬆️elasticity = ⬇️BP ⬇️elasticity = ⬆️BP
Hydrostatic BP
Arteriole end of capillary bed
Colloid osmoid pressure
Venule end of capillary bed
Blood vessel walls
Tunica interna-smooth endothelial lining
Tunica media-contains smooth muscle for dilation & constriction
Tunica Externa-collagen fibers
Arteries
Elastic
Muscular
Arterioles
Capillaries
Site of gas and nutrient/waste exchange between blood & tissues
3 types of capillaries
Continuous-skin muscles & BBB
Fenestrated-more permeable, absorption, filtration
Sinusoids-very permeable, large fenestrations, let in bacteria, found in liver bone marrow, lymph
Veins
Have lower BP than artery. Thin walls.
Low oxygen causes
Precapillary sphinxters to open
MAP
Mean arterial pressure
MAP=diastolic + 1/3 pulse pressure
Pulse pressure
Difference between systolic-diastolic
