Local control of circulation Flashcards
What are the 2 regulatory task(s) of the cardiovascular system?
- Ensure adequate tissue perfusion
- Ensure physiological blood pressure levels
A regulatory task(s) of the cardiovascular system is to ensure adequate tissue perfusion
-> What type of mechanism we need to use in this task?
Local control mechanisms
(Locally: only resistance)
A regulatory task(s) of the cardiovascular system is to ensure physiological blood pressure levels
-> What type of mechanism we need to use in this task?
Systemic control mechanisms
(Systemic: pressure AND resistance)
What are the cardiovascular parameters that can be influenced?
heart: CO=HR x SV
vessels: TPR
BP= CO x TPR
Ohm’s law: I=P/R
Do local and systemic regulation overlap on the arterioles?
Yes
Physiological vasoconstrictors and vasorelaxants
What are the 3 major factors affecting arteriolar radius?
- Neural controls
- Hormonal controls
- Local controls
-> Affect arteriolar smooth muscle
-> altered arteriolar radius
What is Autoregulation (Bayliss effect)?
Intrinsic ability of a body part to maintain a constant blood flow despite changes in perfusion pressure
Autoregulation (Bayliss effect) is a passive process that occur in the absence of ___
neural and hormonal influences
One of the major factors affecting arteriolar radius is NEURAL CONTROLS
-> What are the vasoconstrictors?
Sympathetic nerves that release norepinephrine
One of the major factors affecting arteriolar radius is HORMONAL CONTROLS
-> What are the vasoconstrictors?
Epinephrine
Angiotensin II
Vasopressin
One of the major factors affecting arteriolar radius is HORMONAL CONTROLS
-> What are the vasodilators?
Epinephrine
Atrial natriuretic peptide
One of the major factors affecting arteriolar radius is LOCAL CONTROLS
-> What are the vasoconstrictors?
- Internal blood pressure (myogenic pressure)
- Endothelin-1
One of the major factors affecting arteriolar radius is LOCAL CONTROLS
-> What are the vasodilators?
What are the 3 actors of local circulation?
- Smooth muscle
- Endothelium cell (with basal membrane)
- (laminal) blood flow, lighter color represents higher velocity
What is the myogenic tone?
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.
How to calculate the blood flow?
Blood flow=Pressure/Resistance
The contribution of the myogenic tone to the regulation of the local blood flow
-> What happen if pressure increases?
Pressure increases
-> radius decerases
-> resistance increases
(Blood flow remains constant)
An example of vessels that can be seen during systemic circulation
kidney-type vessels
-> Typically: systemic circulation (so-called kidney-type vessels)
(BUT! Lung-type vessels relax when the pressure elevates)
What happen during Hypoxia-related vasorelaxation?
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
