Q

if resisttance increases (and pressure is constant) what happens to the flow

A

flow decreases

30
Q

the diastolic pressure is taken at the end of

A

the resting phase when the aortic valve opens

31
Q

after ventricular ejecttion and pressure is decreases, why does it start to increase again

A

insicura
increase in pressure die tto tthe bouncing off of the peripheral resistance
=imporatant for filling coronary arteries

32
Q

when the left ventricle contrtacts… more or less blood enters into arteriak system

A

more blood enters the arterial system than gets pushed onwards

33
Q

what does the fact that more blood enters the arteiral system than gets oished out when the elft ventricle contrcatcts causes what

A

causes arteries to strettch and pressure within them rises

34
Q

the highest pressure in the aorta is called..

A

systolic

35
Q

what happens when the left ventricle relaxes (in terms of recoil)

A

the stretched arterial walls recold and push the contained blood onwards through the system

36
Q

what pushes blood onwards into the circualtory system

A

the elastic recold of the arteries (compliace)

37
Q

as the arteries recoil what happens to the blood and pressure

A

the amount of blood contained decreases and as does pressure

38
Q

the lowest pressure acheived just before the next contraction is called…

A

diastolic pressure

39
Q

what does aterial complicance mean

A

the ability to expand and recoil

“a change in pressure will affect a change of volume)

40
Q

what is the fomrular for arterial compliace

A

compliance=change on volume/change in pressure

41
Q

the walls of which vessel are stronger

A

arteries stronger than veins

42
Q

which vessel has a thicker oUTER layer but less muscle

A

veins

43
Q

which vessel has thicker walls and how

A

ateries are more rigid because they have more smooth msucle

44
Q

the arteries are less or more distensible than the veins

A

less

45
Q

the arteries are blank times less distensible than the veins

A

8 times less

46
Q

an increase in pressure causes 8 times as much incrase in blood in a blank

A

in a vein as in an artery of comparible size

47
Q

if a vein and artery are both subjected to 100 mmHG, how mich volume will be in the artery vs vein

A

artery: 1o0 ml

vein 800 ml

48
Q

what is the reason the veins can hold more blood given the same pressure increase as a artery

A

because of their looser wall (with less smooth muscle), they are more distensible and compliant allowing more blood

49
Q

which vessels are known as the capacitance vessels and why

A

veins since they are the ones that hold the blood

50
Q

what does vascular distensibility mean

A

is the fracntional increase in volume for each mmHG rise in pressure

51
Q

veins are more or less distensible than arteries

A

8 times more distensible

52
Q

which arteries are knoen to be relatively distensble

A

pulmonary

53
Q

what is the formula for vascular distensibility

A

VD= increase in volume/(icnrease in pressure)(orginal volume)

54
Q

true or false : vascular distensibility isnt imporant for circualtory function

A

it plays an imprtant role

55
Q

what does the distensible nature of the arteries allow

A

allows them to accomodate the pulsatile output fo the heart and to average out the pressure pulsations
]
=provides smooth continous flow of blood thorugh the very small blood vessels and tissues

56
Q

explain how vascular distensibility allows pulsatile to go to continous

A

every time a larger vessel expands and recoil it is able to flatten and dampen the pulsatile flow
-=spme of the energy stored in the wall as kinetic becaomes potential aand the pressure goes forward instead of laterally

57
Q

what is vascular capitance

A

the total capacitance of blood that can be stored in a given portion of the ciruclation for each mmHG

58
Q

what is the formula for capacitance

A

distensibility x volume

59
Q

even slight increases in venous pressures cause what

A

cause veins to store 0.5-1 litre of ecta blood

60
Q

if there is a slight increase in pressure what does that mean veins can provide

A

provide a resevoir function for storing large quantities of extra blood that can be called into use whenever requred elsewhere in circualtion

61
Q

true or false: the arteries serve as a resservoive for storing blood

A

false, the veins

62
Q

the capacitance of the veins is smaller or higher than the arteries

A

the capacitance of veins is 24 times that of the arteries

63
Q

any given change in volume within the arterial tree results in…

A

larger increase in pressure than in veins

64
Q

what happens to the blood when veins do vasoconstriction

A

large quantities of blood are tranferred to the heart, therby increasing cardiac output due to an icnrease in venous return (because compliance)
=more blood comes in

65
Q

what is the formuka for pulse pressure

A

Sys. BP-diastolic BP

66
Q

what are the 2 advantages of distensibiliy and compliace

A

1) saving energy for the heart

2) pulsatile flow to continuous

67
Q

in the pressure curve, why do we get an elongated tail and why is that beneficial

A

elongated tail because of the compliance (the recoil propel th blood forward so it saves work for the heart)

68
Q

what is the “ohms law” for circualtion

A

q=delta p/r

69
Q

CO is the …

A

flow

70
Q

what are the two sources of the pressure

A

mean arterial pressure and central venous pressure

71
Q

what is the source of resistance in the body

A

systemic vascular retsiantce
