Intrinsic regulation
“Inside”
- build in control
Extrinsic regulation
“Exit” or External
Controlled externally
Cardiac output (co)
Volume of blood ejected/min
Why is cardiac output regulated?
To increase/ decrease blood flow to meet changes in energy (ATP) needs
Equation for cardiac output
CO= HR x SV
(ml/min) (beats/min) (ml/beats)
What is cardiac output (CO) at rest and maximal exercise?
Rest = 5000ml/min
Max exercise = 20000ml/min
If CO is constant and HR increases, what will happen to SV?
SV (stroke volume) will decrease to maintain Cardiac output
If HR is constant and SV increases, what will happen to CO?
CO will increase
How is CO regulated ?
By heart rate and Stroke volume
Regulating heart rate (HR)
(Extrinsic regulation)
- sympathetic NS ➡️ increases hr
- parasympathetic NS ➡️ decreases hr
3 factors that affect Stroke volume (SV)
- End diastolic volume (EDV
- Total peripheral resistance (TPR)
- Contractility of ventricles
End diastolic volume (EDV)
- ventricular volume at the end of diastole (relaxation)
Frank starling law of the heart
Increase EDV ➡️ allowing for more optimal sarcomere length & increase Ca2+
➡️ increases cross bridge formation
What affects end diastolic volume?
Venous return
What affects venous return (VR)?
Blood pressure & venous pressure
Total peripheral resistance (TPR)
Frictional resistance to blood flow from vessels
(Artery diameter)
During vasoconstriction TPR decreases, which causes the arteries diameter to decrease which causes SV to ________
Increase ; heart contracts less hard to maintain sv
If TPR increases, the arteries diameter must _______ and the sv will _________
Arteries = increase
SV = decrease
What affects TPR?
- Sympathetic nervous system ( increases overall TPR)
- vasoconstriction (viscera/skin)
- vasodilation (skeletal muscle) - Parasympathetic nervous system (decreases overall TPR)
- vasodilation (intestinal tract)
Contractility of ventricles
Strength of ventricular contraction
What affects Contractility of ventricles?
- Sympathetic NS (Extrinsic)
- innervates myocardial cells ➡️ increasing ca+ in sarcoplasm ➡️ increase cross bridge formation ➡️ increase contraction strength - Frank starling law (intrinsic)
- increase EDV ➡️ stretch myocardial cells ➡️ allow sarcomere @ optimal length ➡️ increases contraction strength
Why regulate blood flow?
To redistribute blood flow as needed
- not enough blood to fill all capillaries at once
Redistributed blood flow is needed for :
- Thermal regulation
- Meet metabolic demands
- exercising or @ rest - Maintain Blood pressure (BP)
- hydrated or dehydrated
Equation for blood flow (F)
F= p/R
Pressure/ Resistance
