MAPIISG1 - Circulation Flashcards
What are the 4 purposes of circulation?
Transport
- Nutrients and O2 to Tissues
- Waste and CO2 away from Tissues
- Hormones from one area of body to another
- Heat throughout the body
What is the primary driver of circulation?
primarily influenced by tissue needs
What are the primary control mechanisms of circulation
vasodialiation and vasoconstriction
What effect does local tissue flow have on arterial pressure? Cardiac output?
arterial pressure is generally controlled independently of these
What are key factors of principles affecting the flow of liquids through vessels (fluid dynamics? (4)
- Blood Flow
- Pressure
- Resistance
- Control mechanisms mediating these characteristics
exchange site for nutrients, waste, electrolytes, fluid, etc

Define blood flow
the volume of blood flowing through a vessel, an organ, or the entire circulation in a given period (ml/min)
Define blood pressure
the force per unit area exerted on a vessel wall by the contained blood (mmHg)
Define resistance
opposition to flow; amount of friction blood meets when passes through the vessels
Blood Flow is affected by what 2 factors?
- Pressure Gradient
2. Vascular Resistance
What does Ohm’s Law tell us?
Calculation of blood flow through a vessel
In Ohm’s Law F=delta P / R what is delta P?
change in blood pressure between 2 ends of vessel
In Ohm’s Law F=delta P / R what is R?
Resistance
