Poissuile’s Law tells us that a small change in vessel diameter causes ___

A

enormous change in conductance

46
Q

Why does Poissuile’s Law tells us that a small change in vessel diameter causes an enormous change in conductance?

A

Conductance of a vessel increase in proportion to the 4th power of diameter.

Q

What plays the greatest role in resistance to flow for systemic circulation?

A

2/3 of resistance to flow is arteriole resistance

Q

What influence can strong muscular walls of arterioles have on diameter?

A

can change diameter up to fourfold

49
Q

What influence can strong muscular walls of arterioles have on blood flow?

A

fourfold increase in diameter can increase blood flow up to 256-fold

50
Q

Viscosity has an inverse relationship to ___

A

blood flow

51
Q

What is hematocrit?

A

% of blood that consists of cells

52
Q

What is average Hematocrit?

A

40

53
Q

Do men or women have a higher hematocrit?

A

men ~ 42

women ~ 38

54
Q

Why is Polycythemia?

A

elevated hematocrit

55
Q

What is the Theory of Circulatory Function?

A

NEEDS OF TISSUE tightly controls blood flow; small tissue-specific vessels dilate or constrict locally to control flow in addition to change in cardiac output

(cardiac output primarily controlled by sum of all local tissues. in general, arterial pressure is controlled independently of local blood flow or cardiac output)

56
Q

What is Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP)?

A

Pressure that propels blood to tissues

57
Q

What is the equation for Mean Arterial Pressure?

A

MAP = DP + 1/3(PP)

58
Q

What is the equation for pulse pressure?

A

SP - DP

59
Q

What happens to MAP with increasing distance from the heart? PP?

A

Both MAP and PP decrease

60
Q

What is the equation for Mean Pressure?

A

A

~0mmHg

Q

What is the Mean Pressure at Capillaries?

A

~17mmHg

63
Q

A

~16mmHg

64
Q

What effect does pressure have on blood flow?

A

increases force on blood flowing through vessels

72
Q

Describe Long-Term Phase of local blood control

A

Adjustment over days/weeks/months to control blood flow to tissue

73
Q

What are the 2 Theoretical Perspectives of local blood flow regulation?

A
  1. Vasodilator Theory

2. O2 Lack Theory

74
Q

Describe the Vasodialator Theory

A

  3. Adenosine Phosphate Compounds
  4. Histamine
  5. Potassium Ions
  6. H+
76
Q

Describe the O2 Lack Theory

A

absence of O2, and maybe other substances, casue precapillary and metarteriole sphincters to relax and dialate

77
Q

Describe dialating “upstream” arteries

A

Larger arteries “upstream” from local tissue control respond to effects of “downstream regulation”

-Drag on “upstream” endothelium of vessel walls by rapid increased flow allows release of substance that can vasodialate the “upstream” vessels

78
Q

What is released do vasodilate upstream vessels in response to an increase in blood flow?

A

Endothelium-derived relaxing factor (EDRF) made primarily of nitric oxide (NO)

79
Q

What is Reactive Hyperemia?

A

is the transient increase in organ blood flow that occurs following a brief period of ischemia

80
Q

What is Active Hyperemia?

A

is the increase in organ blood flow (hyperemia) that is associated with increased metabolic activity of an organ or tissue (exercise and skeletal muscle)

81
Q

Define autoregulation of blood flow

A

after increase in blood flow to a tissue due to increase in arterial pressure, blood flow returns to near normal levels

82
Q

What are the two theories of autoregulation of blood?

A
  1. Metabolic

2. Myogenic

83
Q

Metabolic and myogenic?

A

dunno
