what is aortic PP?
40 mmHg
26
Describe PP through the systemic circuit
Drops while going through high resistance areas (arterioles) and stays down Widen in the large arteries due to walls not being stretchy/stiff vessels
27
Compare the PP in the femoral artery in the aorta
PP is higher in the femoral artery because it is a large artery with stiff vessels. The aorta is stretchy and can accommodate a lot of blood
28
Describe the aorta
- It is stretchy -Has a wide opening - Can accommodate a lot of blood coming out of the heart during systole -During diastole the wall of the aorta come closer together and **act as a second pump and pushes blood downstream into the system**
29
How does stretchy vessels affect PP?
Decreases it
30
T/F: artificial changes in large artery can cause an even greater change in PP
T
31
What does widening of a PP look like?
Systolic gets higher Diastolic gets lower
32
What is the PP in the veins? Why?
Doesn't have one Because they are really stretchy
33
What happens if you give a liter bolus?
Fluid will likey go to the veins because it is a high compliant system that readily takes volume. Veins are really stretchy and can accommodate a lot of volume. But the blood pressure won't go up as much.
34
Increasing stroke volume in stiff vessels will have what effect on PP?
Increase
35
Describe PP in the pulmonary circuit
Overall it has a low PP because it's stretchy and very low resistance low pressures --> low PP
36
What is the is #1 reason for low pressure in the pulmonary circuit?
low vascular resistance
37
What is compliance?
Stretchiness (ΔVolume) / (ΔPressure)
38
What is low compliance?
Having to use a high amount of pressure to put a small amount of volume into a container.
39
What is high compliance?
When stretchy, low pressure can be used to put in a lot of volume into a container.
40
What is an example of a high compliance vessel? Low compliance?
High compliance: veins Low compliance: arteries
41
Describe the left and right ventricle pressure during systole and diastole
L: diastole- 2 mmHg systole- slightly higher than pressure in the aorta to make blood move through it (normal is higher than 120) R: diastole- low (0 mmHg) systole- slightly higher than pulmonary art. systolic pressure (normal is higher than 25)
42
What happens to the aorta with age?
It tightens and hardens --> increases PP
43
What cell lines the entire CVS?
Endothelial cells
44
Describe arterioles
Narrow opening Thick walls Drives pressure Consist of smooth muscle
45
Describe capillaries
Thin walls Specialized for gas/nutrient exchange
46
What vessel is only made up of endothelial cells?
Capillaries
47
What vessel can tighten to impede blood for?
Arteries
48
Describe the veins

55
Increased CO = ______ velocity
increased
56
Increased x-sec/area = _______ velocity
decrease
57
decrease x-sec/area = ________ velocity
increase
58
Compare veolcity in the following: Aorta; Venae Cava; Capillaries
Aorta: fastest because it only has one and lowest x-sec Venae cava: slower velocity than aorta because there's two and it's wider Capillaries: relatively slow because the cross-section is so large because there are so many capillaries
59
T/F: the velocity of the CO is determined by the x-sec
T
60
Differentiate between a system in series and a system in parallel. Give example examples.
Series: blood has to flow through a single pathway Ex) Heart & lungs Parallel: blood has many pathways to choose from Ex) systemic circulation & lungs (lungs has some parallel pathways as well)
61

F Lipid soluble and can move through cells without problems
62
The arterial end of the capillary favors _________ and the venous in favors ________
filtration reabsorption
63
What is the purpose of the lymphatics?
To take up fluid that isn't reabsorbed at the Venus in that was filtered at the arterial end of the capillaries
64
What is an example of a specialized capillary that have tight junctions?
Brain capillaries
65
For every _________ **below** a pressure source, the pressure will be increased by _________
13.6 mm 1 mmHg
66
What is the place in the heart where there's no effect on gravity called? Where is it?
Isogravimetric point Middle of the tricuspid valve on the RIGHT SIDE of the heart which is the center of the pressure source
67
What is another name for the isogravimetric point?
Phlebostatic axis point
68
What is the anatomical location? of the isogravimetric point?
4th ICS mid-axilliary line
69
What is the pressure in the umbilical vein?
+22 mmHg
70
What is the pressure in the large vein above the knee?
+40 mmHg
71
What is the pressure in the neck veins? why?
0 mmHg Neck veins are very compliant; thin walled, expand/compress easily, and wide --> If there were a negative pressure in the neck veins, it would collapse to prevent that negative pressure from building up
72
What is the pressure in the superior sagittal sinus? why?
**This is your cranium & Sinus = large vein** -10 mmHg The meninges make up the walls of the sinuses. They are rigid, have lots of structures, and not compliant, which allows them to have a subatmospheric pressure
73
What is a risk when your sinuses are exposed to the environment? why?
Air embolism **WHEN YOUR HEAD IS ABOVE YOUR HEART** Due to the sub atmospheric pressure in the superior sagittal sinuses (-10 mmHg) when exposed to air, your sinuses will suck in air from the environment.
74
Describe the one-way valves and veins
-thin and delicate -not meant to support large loads for long periods -Prevents backflow into lower extremities -Make sure blood is flowing to the heart -helps to limit effects of gravity -access shelves and healthy patients
75
What help support the one-way valves in the veins?
-Contracting and relaxing the skeletal muscles in the legs -Moving around
76
What is the pressure in the vein in the upper arm? why?
Between +6 mmHg and +8 mmHg The column of blood that goes from the arm --> shoulder --> superior vena cava --> heart
77
T/F: arterial and venous blood have the same weight
T
78
If you are _________ or __________, you do not have that vertical column of blood to account for additional pressure.
supine prone
79
What are the effects of of stretched out veins? what can cause this?
Causes: Standing long periods Effects: 1-way valves will not work properly and will not prevent back flow --> increased pressure in LE --> increased stretching of vein --> varicose veins --> blood clot risk

F Just open tubes
83
Describe the pressure in arteries
High internal pressure because they are connected to the aorta, which is a close area to the source of the blood pressure
84
Why is the arterial pressure in the foot high?
It is a combo of pressure generated by the heart and gravity by the column of blood

104
Describe the behavior of the arteries in the systemic vascular. What happens with sympathetic stimulation with normal volume? Sympathetic inhibition?
