Lec 21 Flashcards
Each side of heart function as
Independent pump
Elastic systemic arteries are
Pressure reservoir
Systematic veins are
Volume reservoir
In arterioles
Adjustable screws=variable resistance
Lower resistance = higher diameter= lower BP
screw=sympathetic effect
In venules, BP
Is low
Artery tissues
High smooth
High elastic
Medium fibrous
Low epithelium
Arteriole tissues
High smooth
Low epithelium
Capillaries tissue
One layer epithelium
Venule tissue
Medium fibrous
Low epithelium
Vein tissue
Medium fibrous
Medium elastic
Medium smooth
Low epithelium
Cardiac output at rest vs exercise
5.8 L//min
Vs
25.6 L/min
During exercise less blood goes to
Brain/kidney/GI
Most of blood goes to
88% to skeletal muscle
Resistance to blood flow increase as
Radius decrease
Vasodilation
Decrease resistance
Vasoconstriction
Increased resistance
Larger tube
Slower blood flow
Veloctiy of blood flow will
Increase as blood flow rate increase
Decrease as tubes get larger
Blood pressure through circulation,
loose pressure
losing pressure in circulation called
pressure gradient
Pressure lost through circulation is due to
Friction
