Q

What is the myogenic tone?

A

Myogenic tone is a state of muscle tone in living creatures that originates from the muscle itself rather than from the autonomic nervous system or from hormone processes.

Q

What happen during Hypoxia-related vasorelaxation?

A

Local hypoxia
→ intracellular ATP decreases
→ ATP-sensitive K+ channels open
→ hyperpolarization
→ L-type Ca++–channels opening decreases → cytoplasmic Ca++ –level decreases
→ vasorelaxation
-> velocity of blood flow increases as the resistance decreases

A

membrane phospholipids (arachidonic acid to PGs)

27
Q

A

high-molecular-weight substances

28
Q

bradykinin is a local metabolite
-> It is a peptide generated from ___

A

a circulating protein called kininogen

29

32
Q

How does active hyperemia occur?

A
33
Q

How does reactive hyperemia occur?

A
34
Q

Parallel and perpendicular forces in the vessels

A

Hydrostatic pressure – vasoconstriction elevates the pressure
Shear stress– higher, when blood flow is faster –increased pressure slows it

35
Q

What type of force is used for Flow- mediated vasodilation?

A

shear stress

36
Q

RBCs may contribute to vasodilation, mainly during ___

A

hypoxia

37
Q

Hb-NO is a source of __ and ___

A

adenosine and ATP

38
Q

Endothelial relaxing mechanism
-> The role of Ca2+ signal

A

Ca++-signal in endothelial cells activates cyclooxigenase (COX), that converts arachidonic acid (AA) to relaxing prostaglandins (PGI2, PGE2)

-> Hyperpolarization may propagate from endothelial cells to vascular smooth muscle

39
Q

Steps of Endothelial relaxing mechanisms

A

Endothelial eNOS
-> NO
-> Diffuses into Smooth muscle
-> Soluble guanylyl cyclase
-> Increased cGMP↑
-> vasodilation

Q

The role of histamine as an inflammatory vasoactive mediator
