Lecture 15 - Control Regulation of Cardiac Output Flashcards
Negative feedback systems
response to a disturbance in the opposite direction of the disturbance
ex: blood pressure, insulin
Positive feedback systems
response to a disturbance in the same direction of the disturbance
ex: blood clotting, parturition
what controls cardiac output
heart rate and stroke volume
arterial blood pressure is controlled by
arteriole diameter
blood volume is controlled by
receptors in the kidney, brain, and heart
what is the set point of cardiac output
150 mL/kg/min
what is the set point for stroke volume
1.5 mL/kg
what is the set point for blood volume
80 mL/kg of body weight
what happens to flow if:
pressure between two points increases
increases
what happens to flow if:
radius increases
increases
what happens to flow if:
viscosity increases
decreases
what happens to flow if:
length of vasculature increases
decreases
radius of vasculature is controlled by
smooth muscle cells
where does the largest drop in pressure occur in the systemic flow of blood
at arterioles
T/F: velocity is inversely proportional to cross-sectional area of vasculature
TRUE
Acetylcholine is a ______ inotrope and chronotrope
negative or positive
negative
