Local and Systemic Control Flashcards
What is ohm’s law?
Q(flow)= pressure differences/ resistance
Blood flows when pressure exceeds (blank)
resistance
Flow =(blank)/resistance
MAP
(blank) can be changed by changing resistance of the vasculature or the pressure gradient in the circulation.
Blood flow
What is poiseuille’s law?
R =8nl/pir4
n=blood viscosity
l=blood vessel length
r=radius of the vessel
Blood flow is directly related to the pressure and the (blank)
4th power of the radius
blood flow is (blank) related to the length of the vessel segment and viscosity of the blood.
inversely
Changing the (blank) of a vessel will change the resistance of this vessel the most.
radius
What are the regulatory mechanisms of peripheral circulation?
adjustment of pump output
changes in diameter of resistance vessels
Alteration in capacitance of vessels (veins)
changes in extracellular fluid volume
What is the dual control of the peripheral circulation?
Local (intrinsic) mechanisms
Systemic (extrinsic) mechanisms
The peripheral circulation is under dual control: centrally through the (blank), and locally by the conditions in the (blank) of the blood vessels.
nervous system
immediate vicinity
In some areas of the body, such as the skin and splanchnic regions, (blank) predominates, whereas in others, such as the heart and brain, this mechanism plays only a minor role.
neural regulation of blood flow
What are the two types of local (intrinsic) mechanisms?
metabolic and myogenic
What are the two types of metabolic local (intrinsic) mechanisms?
release of vasodilators, nutrient deficiency for vascular smooth muscle
What are the two types of myogenic local (intrinsic) mechanisms?
sudden stretch and reduced stretch
What do local (intrinsic) mechanisms effect?
Pressure flow autoregulation
Active hyperemia
Reactive hyperemia
Can vascular smooth muscle maintain basal tone when there is nutrient deficiency?
no
(blank) is constant flow under varying pressures
autoregulation
(blank) of blood flow is the acute return of the flow back to normal shortly after the arterial pressure changes from normal.
Autoregulation
The myogenic theory of autoregulation invokes a role for (blank) as the controlled variable in the vasculature.
arteriolar wall tension
Sudden stretch of small blood vessels will cause the smooth muscle of the vessel wall to (blank) (possible mechanism – activation of stretch-activated cation channels that are permeable for Ca2+)
contract
The vascular smooth muscle contracts in response to an (blank) across the wall of a blood vessel. The resulting vasoconstriction will maintain a . (Without vasoconstriction, blood flow would increase as a result of the increased pressure).
increase in pressure difference
constant flow
(blank) is the maintenance of a constant blood flow in the presence of a change in arterial pressure
autoregulation
The changes in blood flow in response to overall homeostasis (e.g., the dilation of coronary arteries when the energy requirements of the heart increase during exercise) are not classified as (blank)
autoregulatory processes.
Blood flow is trying to be constant so (blank) is altered to maintain this
resistance
Autoregulation is only when you have (blank) , you do not utilize autoregulation when stressed via exercise (this is increased output, NOT changes in pressure)
increased or decreased pressure
Do you utilize autoregulation when stressed via exercise (increased output, not changes in pressure)?
no
(blank) cannot be maintained at extreme changes in mean arterial pressure.
Autoregulation
The safe range for blood flow is about 80-125% of normal and usually occurs at arterial pressure of (blank) due to active adjustments of vascular resistance.
60-160 mm Hg
(blank) is increased blood flow caused by increased tissue activity
ACTIVE HYPEREMIA
(blank) is blood flow above control level upon release of an arterial occlusion
REACTIVE HYPEREMIA
When would you have active hyperemia?
exercise
When would you have reactive hyperemia?
skeletal muscle contracts and compresses blood vessel, when contraction of skeletal muscle ends the blood is free to move through the vessel
Why do you want vasoconstriction in pressure flow autoregulation when you have high blood pressure?
Since you are sensing an increased difference in pressure than you need to increase resistance proportionally to maintain flow
WHat two things cause release of vasodilator substances?
deficiency of 02 and increased metabolism
Deficiency of 02 and nutrients in the vascular smooth muscle inhibits the ability of what?
muscle to contract
These are potential candidates for (blank)
- (increase) CO2
- lactic acid
- (decrease) pH
- K+
- PO4
- PgI2
- adenosine
- ATP
- (decreased) O2
- increased osmolarity
vasodilator metabolites
Large amounts of (blank) can cause vasoconstriction. Small amounts of (blank) can cause vasodilation.
Potassium
What does adensosin do and when is it released?
it is a vasodilator and it s released under hypoxia
What are EDRF? DO they have receptors?
relaxation factors secreted by endothelium
They each have their own receptors on endothelial cells
