Final Deck 2 Flashcards
what does first degree AV block look like on ECG
PR segment elongated (>5 little boxes)
Where would we find large clefts in capillary wall
Liver and gut (so water soluble substances can cross)
What is a major. Contributor to osmotic pressure in the blood
Albumin
Whats the largest starling force that influences movement of fluid out of the capillary
Capillary hydrostatic pressure
where in the circulatory system do we usually see starling forces at work allowing fluid passage from a vessel
capillary at arteriolar end
when fluid leads from capillaries into interstitial, how do we get it back into the bloodstream
lymphatics
whats the equation to determine net movement of starling forces
forces out - forces in
Pc+Osmi) - (Pi+Osmc
what condition alters the starling forces
edema
heart failure elevates venous pressure and this greatly affects which of the starling forces
hydrostatic pressure of the capillary (Pc)
capillary osmotic pressure would be greatly affected by a decrease of ___ in the blood which could be due to starvation or liver failure
albumin
how much lymph fluid re-enters the subclavian vein per day
2-3 liters
what happens to vessels (via local metabolic control) when metabolites are high and O2 is low in tissue because of increased metabolic rate
ACTIVE HYPEREMIA: arteriole SM and precapillary sphincter relaxation to allow more blood flow
what is reactive hyperemia
vascular obstruction leads to metabolite build up –> vasodilation
when capillaries dilate for metabolic reasons, what are the upstream effects of the change in blood flow ?
flow in arterioles increases (shear force) causing NO release which leads to vasodilation
sympathetics have what effect on vasculature
vasoconstriction
what does serotonin do to vasculature
vasoconstriction (after damage)
what do histamine and bradykinin do to vasculature
arteriolar vasodilation (and edema)
whats the main mechanism of control for both cerebral and coronary circulation
metabolic
pulmonary arteries have much more ___ than systemic arteries. thus small pressure change significantly dilates these to reduce resistance and maintain low pressure.
compliant
how does sympathetic stimulation effect blood flow to skin
decreases
how does sympathetic stimulation effect blood flow to skeletal muscle
increase
what type of shunt is present if blood is passing from systemic veins to systemic arteries without passing lung tissue
right to left
what type of shunt is present if blood is passing from systemic arteries to systemic veins without passing through a capillary bed
left to right
when vascular SM is stretched, it contracts according to ____. this means when BP increases, there is vasoconstriction in order to keep ___ constant.
myogenic hypothesis, flow
what are the metabolites which can produce vasodilation via metabolic hypothesis of autoregulation
CO2, lactate, H+, K+, adenosine
what is an arterial pressure control mechanism thats rapid, neurally mediated, influences both heart and vasculature
baroreceptor (pressure sensor) reflex
what is an arterial pressure control mechanism thats slow and controlled mainly by the kidneys
hormonal control
where do we find baroreceptors for arterial pressure
carotid sinus, aortic arch
when do carotid and aortic baroreceptors increase their firing rate
in response to increase vascular wall stretch
whats the difference between carotid sinus and carotid body
body- senses blood gas
sinus- senses blood pressure
where do baroreceptors send their messages
vasomotor center in medulla
increased firing rate of baroreceptors (in response to pressure increase) causes an increase in what kind of response
parasympathetic (vagus)
how do we calculate CO
CO = BP/TPR CO = SV*HR
how do we find the ejection fraction of the heart
EF = SV/EDV
what does the amount of total peripheral resistance depend on
sympathetic stimulation of arterioles
what effect does sympathetic stimulation have on the kidney
fluid retention (afferent arteriolar constrict, renin secreted)
how does parasympathetic system slow the heart rate
inhibitory signal to SA node
what enzyme is secreted by the juxtomerular cells in the kidney in response to drop in BP
renin
what does renin do?
angiotensinogen –> angiotensin I (in blood)
where does ACE convert angiotensin I to angiotensin II
lungs
what does angiotensin II do
causes adrenal cortex to secrete aldosterone, increase thirst, ADH secretion… all to raise BP
what does aldosterone do?
Na and water retention by kidney (inc TPR)
if BP is dropping to the point where we get cerebral ischemia, then vasomotor center increases sympathetic constriction to body to get blood flow to brain. what do we call this?
cushing reaction
what are the two triggers for ADH release
angiotenin II
receptors in atria detect low preload
what happens when we have excessive preload of atria and ventricles
natriuretic peptide is released
atrial, brain, c type
whats the response to release of natriuretic peptide after sensing excessive preload
protects from over dilation by:
arteriolar dilation (decrease TPR)
fluid loss (decrease preload)
inhibit renin
what are rapid and slow responses to hemmorhage
rapid: sympathetics increase HR, contractility, and vasoconstriction
slow: renin-angiotensin system attempts to conserve fluid to increase BP
