L9/L10 Flashcards
Force Forumla
Force = change in pressure/resistance
_ pressure = _ blood flow
increased pressure causes increased blood flow
_ resistance = _ blood flow
increased pressure causes decread blood flow
Resistance in blood vessels formula
R = [(blood viscosity)(blood vessel lenght)]/(raidus of of blood vessel)^4
total peripheral resistance (TPR) definition
systemic vascular resistance of blood cells
poiseuille’s law
Force =
[ (pi) (change in pressure) (radius of blood vessel)^4 ]
/
[ 8 (blood viscosity) (blood vessel lenght) ]
laminar blood flow vs turbulent blood flow
L: smooth, strealine manner
> parallel to axis of blood vessel
T: blood moves at various angles to the vessel axis
>creates sounds
>increased resistance
Hydrostatic Pressure (Blood Pressure)
the force exerted by the blood confined within blood vessels or heart chambers
pulse definition
pulse is caused blood being ejected from ventricles causing arteries to bulge and relax
pulse formula
pulse pressure = systolic - diastolic pressure
mean arterial pressure formula
MAP = diastolic pressure + 1/3 (systolic pressure - diastolic pressure)
cardiac output equation (flow)
cardiac output = mean aterial pressure

total peripheral resistance
Vascular Compliance Definition
ability of blood vessels to stretch
Vascular Compliance
>transmural pressure formula
pressure outside - pressure inside
Vascular compliance formula
compliance = change in volume
/
change in transmural pressure
*transmural pressure = Pin - Pout
Compliance in veins and arteries
veins can stretch a lot (high compliance)
arteries do not really stretch (low compliance)
velocity is ___ portional to _____
inversely & cross-sectional area
velocity formula
V= force
/
cross sectional area
Where is velocity slowest in vasculature
capillaries
where is velocity fastest in vasculature
aorta and venae cavae
circulation time
how much time it takes 1 drop of blood to:
right atrium -(pulmonary circulation)->left atrium -(systemic circulation)-> foot -(systemic circulation)-> right atrium
Factors that increase venous return
- venous valves
- respiratory pump
- venoconstrction
- skeletal muscle pump
- venous pressure gradient
factors that decrease venous return
-gravity
decreased venous return means
-increased right atrium/ventricle pressure
>causes: leaky triscup valve or increased gravity
Where does the blood go (cardiac output) after leaving the right ventricle
100 % go to the lungs
left Ventricle receiveing cardiac output
fraction go to organs (not lungs)
>task dependent
vascular tone definition
partial contraction/relaxation of arteriole setting a baseline
vascular tone function
principal method of regulating blood flow to different organs of the body
Intrinsic control definition
-mechanisms within an organ that regulate blood flow
intrinsic control mechanism
adjusts arteriole radii to meet specific metabolic demand
autoregulation
the ability to have constant blood flow with changing arterial pressures
physical changes related to intrinsic control
- vasodilation
- vasocontriction
- myogenic response
myogenic response function
- increases contraction when stretching
- decreases contraction when relaxation
myogenic mechanism for vasoconstriction
- increased arteriole pressure -> smooth muscle stretch (arteriolar wall) -> mecahnically-gated channels open (muscle membrane) -> Ca 2+ influx
- Ca 2+ + calmodulin -> complex -> activates enzyme myosin-light chain kinase -> phosphorylates myosin -> activated myosin
- activated myosin + actin -> smooth muscle contraction -> vasoconstriction -> negates inital stretch of arteriole -> constant blood flow
