Q

What is the role of arteries/arterioles?

A

convey blood away from heart

22
Q

What is the role of capillaries?

A

metabolite exchange

23
Q

What is the main role of arteries?

A

conduits

24
Q

What is the main role of arterioles?

A

resistance vessels that determine distribution of cardiac output

25
Q

What is the main role of venules?

A

convey blood from capillaries to veins

26
Q

What are the roles of veins?

A

-conduits
-reservoirs

27
Q

What type of artery is the aorta?

A

elastic

28
Q

What type of artery are most arteries?

A

muscular

29
Q

What does the arteriole wall consist of?

A

smooth muscle

30
Q

What are capillaries?

A

single layer of endothelial cells

31
Q

What substances are in the walls of veins?

A

-smooth muscle
-small amounts of elastin and collagen

32
Q

How is blood flow to the tissues controlled?

A

through changes in local resistance

33
Q

How does venous return impact cardiac output?

A

increased venous return = increased cardiac output

34
Q

Why is arterial pressure regulation independent of local blood flow and cardiac output?

A

because maintaining normal blood pressure is the “priority” of the CV system

35
Q

How does vasoconstriction function?

A

-increases resistance
-decreases flow

36
Q

How does vasodilation function?

A

-decreases resistance
-increases flow

37
Q

What are the characteristics of pressure?

A

-force/area
-measured in mmHg

38
Q

What are the characteristics of systemic circulation oxygen levels and pressure?

A

-high O2
-high pressure

39
Q

What are the characteristics of pulmonary circulation oxygen levels and pressure?

A

-low O2
-low pressure

40
Q

Where is the greatest proportion of blood volume contained?

A

systemic veins

41
Q

What should venous pressure normally be?

A

near 0 mmHg

42
Q

What is resistance?

A

measure of opposition to electrical current/flow

43
Q

How does change in pressure relate to cardiac output and resistance??

A

/\P = CO x R

44
Q

What two factors are the determinants of resistance?

A

-radius (most important)
-viscosity

45
Q

What is resistance, in terms of forces?

A

the sum of forces that must be overcome for a pressure difference to establish flow

46
Q

Why is systemic arterial pressure greater than pulmonary arterial pressure?

A

because systemic vascular resistance is greater than pulmonary vascular resistance

47
Q

What does venous return result from?

A

-energy imparted by ventricular ejection
-muscular pump
-ventricular suction

48
Q

What is laminar flow?

A

smooth flow (river)

49
Q

What is turbulent flow?

A

-high velocity flow (fast stream)

50
Q

How do velocity and viscosity relate?

A

-high velocity, low viscosity
-high viscosity, low velocity
