LECTURE 29 11/11/22 (LECTURE 16 SLIDES: MICROCIRCULATION) Flashcards
What is the formula for SVR?
SVR = Delta P / Flow (13:23)
What is the normal Peripheral Resistance Unit (PRU) of the Systemic Circulation?
What is the normal PRU for the Pulmonary Vascular Resistance?
1 PRU (SVR)
0.14 PRU (SVR)
(17:10)
What is the SVR in CGS (centimeter grams seconds)
What is considered a normal range of SVR in CGS units?
1600 CGS units
[(100 mmHg - 0 mmHg)/ 5L/min ] x 80 = 1600
800 to 1600 CGS units
(21:00)
What are the units in the CGS system?
Dynes * Sec/Cm ^-5
(22:00)
What is the PVR in CGS units?
What is considered a normal range of PVR in CGS units?
128 CGS units
[(16 mmHg - 8 mmHg)/ 5L/min ] x 80 = 128
40 to 180 CGS units
(25:30)
SVR is measured from _________ to ___________.
PVR is measure from _________ to ___________.
SVR is from Left Ventricle (100 mmHg) to Right Atrium (0 mmHg)
PVR is from Right Ventricle (16 mmHg) to Left Atrium (2 mmHg)
How do you convert PRU to GCS units?
Multiple PRU by 1333 mmHg/ml/sec
(29:50)
What is the formula for conductance?
1/ Resistance
Flow is _______ to Delta P and Radius
Flow is _______ to blood viscosity and length.
Proportional
(Increase Delta P and Radius will increase Flow)
Inversely Proportional
(Increase in Blood Viscosity and Length will decrease Flow)
(32:40)
What is a normal Hematocrit level?
0.4
In laminar flow, where will blood be moving the fastest? slowest?
Blood will be moving fastest in the center of the vessel.
Blood will be moving slowest on the side of the vessels.
(38:00)
Why is chaotic or turbulent flow bad?
- Energy is wasted
- Turbulence can cause coagulation
- Blood vessels gets damaged by turbulent flow.
(39:22)
What is the formula for Reynold’s Number?
What does Reynold’s Number tell you?
What part of the body can we predict to have turbulent flow base on its velocity and diameter?
Reynold’s Number = (Velocity x Diameter x Density) / (Viscosity)
Reynold’s Number tells you the likelihood of turbulent blood flow.
Aorta d/t to large diameter and fast velocity.
(42:00)
What were three ways to measure blood flow and pressure discussed in lecture?
- Catheter insertion to the CV system and pressure transducer set-up
- Sound waves through doppler effect. (Higher flow, higher doppler effect)
- Generating a magnetic filed and watching Fe go by. (The faster the Fe, the more influence on the magnetic field)
(45:00)
What are extension of the arteriole that will control whether blood will move through the capillaries?
Pre-capillary sphincters
(48:25)
How many capillaries do we have in our systemic circulation?
How big is the surface area of the capillaries?
10 billion capillaries
This will give us a huge surface area for case and nutrient exchange. 500 to 700 square meters.
(48:37)
What are the two ways Nitric Oxide is made?
ACh or Bradykinin binds to a muscarinic GPCR that activates the release of Ca2+ from the ER. The Ca2+ that is released binds to Calmodulin. The Ca2+-Calmodulin complex activates eNOS which converts arginine to NO.
High shear stress can trigger the release of NO.
(Pharm and Exam 3 Recall) (49:30)
How does NO cause relaxation?
NO is diffused from the endothelium to the vascular smooth muscle and activates guanylyl cyclase.
GTP is converted to cGMP
cGMP will activate PKG.
PKG will inhibit Ca2+ channels and activate myosin light chain phosphatase. Leading to relaxation.
(Pharm and Exam 3 Recall) (49:30)
What moves out in the arterial end of the capillary?
What moves in in the venous end of the capillary?
O2 and Nutrients are secreted out.
Waste products are absorbed.
(50:00)
Water will sneak through the ____________ in endothelial cells.
Intercellular Clefts (50:30)
