Lecture 13: Organ Blood Flow Special Circulation Flashcards
What is “Basal Flow?”
Blood flow that is measured under basal conditions
Basal Flow:
When a person is in a ____,_____ state, and normal _____ and humidity
Fasted, resting
temperature
Basal Flow:
The ratio of basal flow to maximal flow is a measure of vascular tone.
T/F
True
What are “Tissue Factors?”
Substances produced by the tissue surrounding the blood vessels.
What is a “Paracrine Hormone?”
Name some hormones
hormone which has effect only in the vicinity of the gland secreting it.
- Somatostatin and Histamine
What is an “Endocrine Hormone?”
Name some hormones
glands which secrete hormones or other products directly into the blood.
- Estrogen and Androgens
What is an “Autocrine Hormone?”
Name some hormones.
A hormone produced by a cell that acts on itself or its immediate neighbors
- Prostaglandins
What are 7 of the Metabolic substances?
- Adenosine
- Inorganic Phosphate
- Carbon Dioxide
- Hydrogen Ions
- Potassium Ions
- Oxygen
- Osmolarity
Endothelial Factors:
An important Paracrine function in the regulation of smooth muscle tone and organ blood flow which is released by:
(4)
- Circulating hormones
- Sheering Forces
- Hypoxia
- Drugs
Nitric Oxide:
Involved in “______ ______ ______”
Flow dependent vasodilation
Nitric Oxide:
an increase in flow (____ _____) stimulates ____ NO production, leading to vasodilation (____)
Shear Force; endothelial
EDRF
What is “EDRF?”
Endothelium Derived- Relaxing Factors
Endothelian causes Vasoconstriction.
T/F
False, it cases vasodilation
What is “EDHF?”
what does it cause
- Endothelium Derived- Hyperpolarizing Factors
- Vasodilation
Myogenic Mechanisms:
Myogenic (____ muscle) mechanisms originate within the ____ muscle of ____ _____.
Smooth
Smooth; Blood Vessels
Extravascular Compression:
Mechanical _____ forces affect vascular resistance and ____ ____ within organs
compressive
blood flow
What is “Autoregulation?”
process within many biological systems, resulting from an internal adaptive mechanism that works to adjust (or mitigate) that system’s response to stimuli
What is the formula for Blood flow?
F = (Pa -Pv) / R where:
- F = Blood Flow
- (Pa -Pv) = perfusion
- R = Resistance
What is “Reactive Hyperemia?”
Temporary increase in blood flow to an area after a period of arterial occlusion.
What is “Active Hyperemia?”
increase in organ blood flow that is associated with increased metabolic activity of an organ or tissue.
