Q

T or F? The PNS innervates the majority of blood vessels.

A

False, PNS does not innervate the majority of blood vessels but does regulate dilation of some blood vessels in specific areas of the body, such as the genitals. SNS innervates blood vessels.

16
Q

What local chemical factors are released from metabolically active or hypoxic tissues that cause relaxation of smooth muscle and vasodilation of small arteries and arterioles?

A

Adenosine, CO2 , H+, K+, lactate.

17
Q

Endothelial cells release _____ in response to sheer stress from blood flow, causing vasodilation.

A

nitric oxide

18
Q

What produces nitric oxide (NO)?

A

Endothelial NOS (Nitric Oxide Synthase)

19
Q

T or F? Local chemical factors such as autocrine/paracrine peptides endothelin, bradykinin, prostaglandins, and histamine causes arteriole dilation and capillary permeability.

A

False, all is true except endothelin. Endothelin causes vasoconstriction.

20
Q

How is long term blood flow regulated to various tissues?

A

Angiogenesis

21
Q

In response to chronic ischemia, tissues release angiogenic factors, (_______, etc) which stimulate angiogenesis.

A

VEGF

22
Q

T or F? Angiogenesis can decrease the number of blood vessels than can occur.

A

True. Increase or decrease in number of blood vessels can occur.

23
Q

What is the a abbreviation for oxygen consumption?

A

V(O2)

24
Q

A-V(O2) difference is the abbreviation for what?

A

Arteriovenous oxygen difference.

25
Q

What is A-V(O2) difference?

A

It is the difference in the Po2 between the arterial blood and the venous blood. (the Po2 of the blood entering a tissue -the Po2 of the blood leaving the tissue).

26
Q

T or F? If the A-VO2 difference increases, it represents an increase in oxygen uptake by that tissue.

A

True

27
Q

What factors contribute to the changes in HR, SV, CO, SBP, & DBP during exercise?

A
HR - Increase HR by SNS via B-1 
SV - Increase contractility via B-1
CO - Increase HR /SV increases CO
SBP - Increase CO increases SBP
DBP - Decrease TPR decreases DBP
28
Q

During exercise, how does more blood get to the muscles if SNS causes vasoconstriction?

A

Local factors such as adenosine, CO2, H+, K+, Lactate and NO2 causes vasodilation of small arteries and arterioles.

29
Q

_______ _____ increases local factors to cause vasodilation in skeletal muscle and myocardium.

A

Metabolic rate

30
Q

During exercise, SV increases at first, then levels off and stays constant?

A

HR increases, filling time is shorter. (Normally it’s contract, rest, rest; exercise it is contract, rest contract)

31
Q

As Aseel plays racket ball, her SBP is expected to increase due to increase in CO. Why would her DBP remain the same or decreases?

A

The primary determinant of DBP is TPR since local factors override the SNS and vasodilate the arteries, the TPR is constant or may decrease.

32
Q

What is rate-pressure product (pressure-rate product or double product)

A

It is an indirect index of myocardial O2 consumption, how hard the ventricle is working. (HRxSBP(or MAP))
