Q

What does the branching in the systemic circulation do?

A

Divides blood flow among the regional (organ) circulations

Q

How is MAP controlled during exercise?

A

Cardiac output increases and so total peripheral resistance must decrease so that MAP is maintained

Q

How does resistance to muscle, heart and skin change during exercise?

A

It decreases so that the blood flow is able to increase

17
Q

How does resistance to the kidneys and GI tract change during exercise?

A

It increases so that blood flow is able to decrease

18
Q

What is control of organ resistance and regional flow done by?

A

The resistance vessels - arterioles

19
Q

What does a large radius mean?

A

Low resistance

20
Q

What does a small radius mean?

A

High resistance

21
Q

What is the rule of 16?

A

If the lumen changes by a factor of 2, the resistance will change by a factor of 16

22
Q

What is blood flow to an organ or region controlled by?

A

Adjusting arteriolar (vascular) tone and radius

23
Q

What does decreasing radius mean?

A

Smooth muscle contracts and the blood vessel vasoconstricts so there is less blood flow to the regions/organs

24
Q

What does increasing radius mean?

A

Smooth muscle relaxes and the blood vessel vasodilator so there is more blood flow to the regions/organs

25
Q

What is vasodilation and vasoconstriction used for?

A

To direct cardiac output
