Exam 2 Flashcards
Blood volume is directly proportional to?
pressure and flow
as volume decreases; pressure and flow rate…
DECREASE
as volume in creases; pressure and flow rate…
Increase
four main components of blood
RBC’s, WBC’s, Platelets, Plasma (fluid)
Blood viscosity is directly proportional to
resistance
Blood viscosity is inversely proportional to
flow
length of vessel is directly proportional to
resistance
diameter of the vessel is inversely proportional to
resistance
cross sectional area is inversely proportional to
linear velocity of flow (Q=VA)
velocity of flow is slowest in capillaries because?
greatest cross sectional area
velocity of flow is fastest in vessels
smallest cross sectional area
as diameter of a vessels in the body decrease, the cross sectional area
increases
caused by shear stress produced as blood flows past stationalry wall
streamlining
whorls, vortices, eddies
turbulent flow
if pressure in right atria or ventricle increases, venous return ____
decreases
two methods that help return blodo to right side of heart
- skeletal muscle pump
2. respiratory pump
standing on tiptoes compresses the vein causing
blood milking (further valve from heart closes and closer valve open)
milking of the thoracic cavity occurs on
exhalation
inhalation diphragm moves downward, causing a decrease in pressure of thoracic cavity, but an increase in abdominal cavity pressure resulting in….
abdominal veins compress and push more volume of blood through thoracid cavity towards heart
exhalation - diphragm moves upward causing increase in thoracic cavity pressure, but a decrease in the abdominal cavity pressure, resulting in….
valve close preventing backflow from thoracic veins into abdomen
blood pressure is deterimined by….
Cardiac output
Blood volume
Vascular Resistance
several INTERCONNECTED negative feedback systems control blood pressure by making adjustments in
heart rate
stroke volume
blood volume
systemic vascular resistance
cardiovascular control center located in?
helps to regulate?
Also controls neural, hormonal, and local negative feedback systems that help regulate BP
medulla oblongata
heart rate and stroke volume and blood vessel diameter
CV center regulates
heart rate, contractility, and blood vessel diameter
CV center three components
Cardio-stimulatory center
Cardio-inhibitory center
Vasomotor center (constrict or dialate)
does parasympathetic system control vascular tone?
NOOOOOOOPE
parasympathetic
vagal nerves decrease HR and contractility
