25
Q

MAP

A

 Average driving pressure in systemic circulation to
move blood through the blood vessels
= Diastolic P + 1/3 (Systolic P – Diastolic P)
= 80 + 1/3 (120 – 80)

70 million Americans (1 in 3)

27
Q

Factors Influencing MAP

1. Flow In and Out of Systemic Arteries (5)

A

 Flow In = CO (HR x SV)
 Flow Out = Total Peripheral Resistance (TPR)
 TPR = ΣRArterioles (vasoconstriction of arterioles)
 If: Flow in > Flow out (due to increase CO or increase TPR) > increase MAP
 If: Flow in < Flow out (due to decrease CO or decrease TPR) > decrease MAP

28

31
Q

Factors Influencing MAP

2. Total Blood Volume (2)

A

 Total Blood Volume increase > increase MAP (ex. Increased NaCl
intake)
 Total Blood Volume decrease > decrease MAP (ex. Hemorrhage)

32
Q

Factors Influencing MAP

3. Distribution of Blood in Circulatory System (2)

A

 Normally 11% of blood volume in arteries and 60%
in veins
 Blood can be shifted from veins to arteries to
increase MAP

33
Q

A

TPR α ΣRArterioles

Factors that change arteriolar diameter > RArterioles > ΔTPR

34

  1. Autoregulation
  2. Local Control
  3. Reflex Control
35
Q
  1. Autoregulation (2)
A

 Function of blood vessel wall

 Assures blood flow to tissues matches tissue demands.

36
Q
  1. Local Control (3)
A

 Match tissue blood flow to metabolic demands
 FTissue= MAP/RTissue
 Function of Paracrines

37
Q

 Systemic Homeostatic Reflex
 Function of NS and ES

38
Q

Factors Regulating Systemic
Arteriolar Resistance
1. Myogenic Autoregulation (3)

A 
 Function of arterioles
 Nearly all organs tend to keep their 
blood flow constant despite 
variations in arterial pressure 
(F=MAP/RTissue )
 Reflex arteriolar constriction in 
response to increased MAP
39
Q

skipped
Myogenic Autoregulation
Mechanism:

A 
increase MAP
increase arteriolar blood flow 
arteriolar stretch 
open mechanically gated sodium channel in VSM
depolarizes membrane 
opens voltage gated a channels in VSM
ca entry and binds to calmodulin
activates myosin light chain kinase 
increase myosin ATPase activity 
VSM contraction
vasoconstriction
decrease r
increase R
decrease F tissue
40
Q

Factors Regulating Arteriolar Resistance

2. Paracrines (2)

A

 Matches tissue blood flow to metabolic demands (F=MAP/RTissue )
 Interstitial concentration of paracrine substances changes as cells
become more or less metabolically active

41
Q

Increased Tissue Metabolism >

A

decrease O2 , increase CO2, increase H+, increase K+ (Vasodilation of
Arterioles)

42
Q

Decreased Tissue Metabolism >

A

increase O2 , decrease CO2 (Vasoconstriction of

Arterioles)

43
Q

Active Hyperemia -

A

Process in which an increase in tissue blood flow

accompanies an increase metabolic activity

44
Q

Reactive Hyperemia-

A

Increased in tissue blood flow following a period

of low perfusion (blood flow)

45
Q

If blood flow to a tissue is occluded, paracrines accumulate in
interstitial space: (3)

A

decrease O2
increase CO2
increase H+

46
Q

Hypoxia stimulates endothelial cells to (2)

A 
secrete NO (potent 
vasodilator) and NO also accumulates in interstitial space
47
Q

Once occlusion removed, paracrines cause (2)

A

vasodilation and
increase in tissue blood flow until paracrines washed away and
arteriolar diameter returns to resting state.

48

Vasodilating Paracrines (7)

A 
CO2
H+ (lactic acid)
Adenosine (ATP→Adenosine)
K+ (multiple action potentials)
