Q

depletion of Ca++ from the SR in smooth muscle activates _________________, which do what two things?

A

store-operated Ca++ channels (voltage-independent)

restore Ca++ in SR, supplies contraction

21
Q

contraction of smooth muscle is determined by the balance of phosphorylation/dephosphorylation of ______

A

MLC (myosin light chain)

22
Q

Determinants of cardiac output = ______________________

A

heart rate and stroke volume

23
Q

equation for cardiac output using its two main determinants:

A

CO = HR x SV

24
Q

equation for MAP (mean arterial pressure)

A

MAP = CO x TPR (total peripheral resistance)

25
Q

the parasympathetic input to the heart is via the _________ nerve, which releases what NT and causes what to happen to the HR?

A

Vagus

Ach

decreases

26
Q

the sympathetic input to the heart is via the __________________ nerves, which release what NT? what does this cause in the heart?

A

right and left stellate ganglia

NE

increase HR, increase contractility (2 ways)

27
Q

what are the determinants of TPR (total peripheral resistance) of the blood vessel system?

A

Blood viscosity
Cross sectional area
Length of peripheral circuit

28
Q

the prime determinant of the vascular resistance is the _____________.

A

arteriolar radius

the blood viscosity and length of tubes is held constant under normal conditions

29
Q

the arterial blood pressure is regulated moment to moment by continuous adjustments to both the ____________ and ______________ via ___________________.

what about long term regulation?

A

cardiac output

total peripheral resistance

via the baroreceptor reflex

long term = blood volume

30
Q

where are baroreceptors located?

A

arch of the aorta and the carotid sinuses

31
Q

blood volume is regulated through the

A

renin-angiotensin system

32
Q

what does aldosterone do in terms of blood pressure regulation?

A

it increases Na+ resorption in the kidneys, increasing blood volume and increasing blood pressure

33
Q

what does angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) do?

A

converts angiotensin 1 to angiotensin 2

angiotensin 2 produces aldosterone

34
Q

when a decrease in arterial pressure is sensed by the renal arterioles, what is the cascade that happens?

A

prorenin –> renin –> angiotensin –> angiotensin 1 –> ACE –> angiotensin 2 –> aldosterone, vasoconstriction (increases TPR)

35
Q

explain the things governing transcapillary solute exchange:

A
  1. concentration difference of solute
  2. permeability of the solute across the capillary
  3. SA for exchange
36
Q

hydrostatic pressure in capillaries favors:

oncotic pressure in capillaries favors:

A

filtration

re-absorption

37
Q

________ is when the hydrostatic pressure pushes liquid out of capillaries

A

filtration

38
Q

the arterial side of the capillary favors ________ since the __________ pressure gradient is largest

the venous side of the capillary favors _______ since the _______ pressure gradient is largest

A

filtration, hydrostatic

reabsorption, oncotic

39
Q

edema occurs when the net ________ of fluid from blood to tissues exceeds the capacity of the ___________

A

filtration, lymphatics

40
Q

4 functions of lymphatic system

A

Return of excess filtered fluid

Immune defense

Transport of absorbed fat

Return of filtered protein

41

  2. Skeletal muscle
  3. Vein valves

45
Q

the only autonomic innervation of blood vessels is from the ________ nervous system and causes what?

A

sympathetic

vasoconstriction

46
Q

aldosterone causes what to happen molecularly? in terms of blood pressure?

47
Q

aldosterone is secreted from the _____________ in response to _________ or ______________

A

adrenal cortex

angiotensin 2 or high K+ levels

48
Q

a decrease in arterial renal pressure causes ________ to be converted to _______, which then converts ____________ to ____________. ACE then converts ___________ to _____________
