17
Q

what regulates the blood flow of various tissues?

A

SNS, local chemical factors, and angiogenesis

18
Q

factors that are released from metabolically active or hypoxic tissues include:

A

adenosine, CO2, H+, K+, and lactate

19
Q

factors that are released from metabolically active or hypoxic tissues cause _______ of smooth muscle and _________ of small arteries and arterioles

A

relaxation; vasodilation

20
Q

endothelial cells release _______ in response to sheer stress from blood flow

A

nitric oxide (NO)

21
Q

where is nitric oxide produced from?

A

eNOS

22
Q

nitric oxide diffuses into smooth muscle in local area and causes smooth muscle __________ or _________

A

relaxation; vasodilation

23
Q

causes vasoconstriction

A

endothelin

24
Q

causes arteriole dilation and capillary permeability

A

bradykinin, prostaglandins, and histamine

25
Q

increase or decrease in number of blood vessels can occur

A

angiogenesis

26
Q

in response to chronic ischemia, tissues release ________ factors (VEGF, FGF, etc)

A

angiogenic

27
Q

oxygen demand _____ in working muscles (exercise)

A

increases

28
Q

blood flow to tissues ________ during exercise

A

increases

29
Q

________ consumption of tissues increase during exercise

A

oxygen (VO2)

30
Q

by what mechanism is blood flow increased to exercising muscles?

A

when you exercise, you activate the SNS which causes vasoconstriction (decreased blood flow) except to the heart and brain, contracting muscle starts releasing metabolites and act on smooth muscle to vasodilate, which increases blood flow

31
Q

by what mechanism is blood flow increased to the heart?

A

when the SNS is activated, it causes vasconstriction, and the heart starts beating really fast and starts released metabolites and causes vasodilation, just like in skeletal muscle

32
Q

why does SBP increase while exercising?

A

due to an increase in CO

33
Q

who does DPB decrease while exercising?

A

due to vasodilation in skeletal muscle vasculature

34
Q

what effect does exercise have on TPR?

A

decrease it

35
Q

by what mechanism did HR increase while exercising?

A

due to an increase in the SNS an decrease in the PNS

36
Q

by what mechanism did SV increase while exercising?

A

increase in the activation of SNS and decrease in PNS will increase strength of contraction. SNS will also increase venous contraction/venous return which will increase EDV. Strength of contraction, increase respiratory pump, and increase in venous pump also increase SV

37
Q

why does SV plateau?

A

it has to do with the limited filling of the ventricle. the higher the HR, the less time for filling and relaxation. if there is less time for filling, then there is less blood and it will affect EDV and therfore, will affect SV

38
Q

what is the primary determinant of EDV?

A

TPR

39
Q

what is the primary determinant of ESV?

A

CO (cardiac output)
