16
Q

From the SNS/PNS centers in the medulla, where is info about BP sent to next?

A

Cerebral cortex and hypothalamus (which will regulate BP by controlling the endocrine system)

17
Q

What is stroke volume is dependent on?

A
  • Sympathetic stimulation of the heart
  • Preload (EDV)
18
Q

Heart rate is dependent on?

A
  • Sympathetic stimulation
  • Parasympathetic stimulation
19
Q

Total peripheral resistance (TPR) is dependent on?

A

Sympathetic stimulation of arterioles

20
Q

What is the difference between aortic and carotid baroreceptors?

A

Carotid sinus is more sensitive to firing rate, but also stops firing after limits are reached (high at 200 mmHg, low at 40 mmHg)

Aortic sinus continues firing even after reaching the saturation point

21
Q

What are the effects of the sympathetic nervous system on HR, contractility, vein and arteriolar radius, fluid retention?

A
  • Constriction of arterioles and veins (alpha receptors)
  • Increases HR and contractility (beta 1)
  • Renin secretion and increased fluid retention
22
Q

Sympathetic nervous system responds to _ baroreceptor firing rate

Parasympathetic nervous system responds _ baroreceptor firing rate

A

Decreased

Increased

23
Q

What are the effects of the parasympathetic NS on arterial pressure?

A
  • We want to decrease MAP
  • Decrease HR
    • Vagus nerve signal to SA node
    • Muscarinic receptors
  • Also indirect vasodilation on blood vessels via NO
24
Q

How does hypertension saffect baroreceptors?

A

Changes “normal” set point to something higher, which becomes the new “normal”

25
Q

What enzyme is secreted by the kidney in response to drops in BP? What type of cell secretes this?

A

Juxtaglomerular cells produces renin.

26
Q

What stimulates the release of renin?

A
  • Sympathetic Nervous System
  • *Specifically beta 1 adrenergic receptor activation*
27
Q

What does renin do as an enzyme?

A

Converts angiotensinogen to angiotensin I

28
Q

Angiotensin I is converted to Angiotensin II via which enzyme?

Where is this occurring?

A

Converted by ACE in lungs

29
Q

What does angiotensin II do in its active form?

A
  • Causes secretion of aldosterone from the adrenal cortex
  • Stimulates secretion of ADH/Vasopressin
  • Causes global constriction of arterioles by binding to AT1 receptors
30
Q

What does aldosterone do?

A
  • Increases Na+ and H2O retention
  • Increases blood volume, preload, SV, CO, and MAP
31
Q

What does ADH/Vasopressin do?

It is not only secreted in response to angiotensin II, but what other factors?

A
  • Acts on V1 and V2 receptors of smooth muscle, and collecting ducts, respectively and increases TPR and water retention (also leading to decreased urination)
  • Atrial receptors during low preload, increased osmolarity of blood or when SNS is activated
32
Q

What are the three natriuretic peptides that affect arterial pressure?

When are they secreted?

What are their effects?

A
  • ANP, BNP, CNP
  • Excessive preload of atria and ventricles
  • Effects
    • Arteriolar dilation: decrease TPR
    • Increases fluid loss: decreases preload
    • Inhibits renin: decreases TPR and preload
33
Q

What happens when you have a hemorrhage?

A
  • Decrease in blood volume and MAP
  • Decreased firing of mechanoreceptors
  • Increase sympathetic activation to bring MAP back up
  • Sympathetics will:
    • Increase HR, CO and contractility via alpha ine adrenergic receptors
    • Constrict arterioles to increase TPR
    • Constrict the veins to decrease unstressed volume and increase venous return
    • Increased RAAS activation
34
Q

What happens when you have too much blood?

A
  • Increase in blood volume and increase in MAP
  • Activate parasympathetics to bring MAP back down
    • Increased ANP secretion
    • Decreased ADH secretion
    • Renal vasodilation
    • Increased HR? (d/t increased preload?)*
35
Q

What happens during exercise?

A

increased sympathetic output (B1 receptors), decrease PNS

increase HR and contractility

increase venous return

increase vasoconstriction via (a1 receptors)

Basically you wnna pump more blood out since your body needs a lot of blood since it’s exerting itself

36
Q

What happens to MAP, HR, TPR, CO and venous pressure during orthostatic hypotension?

What happens in response?

A
  • Decreased MAP; no change in HR and TPR, CO goes down from decreased venous return, central venous pressure decreases d/t pooling of blood in lower extremities
  • Increase sympathetic activation
    • Increase HR, contractility and CO via beta 1 adrenergic receptors
    • Want to increase TPR via constriction of arterioles
    • Want to decrease unstressed volume and increase venous return so we constrict the veins
