midterm Flashcards
explain the atrial stretch reflex
- increase blood volume
- increase venous return
- increase atrial pressure (filling)
- stretching baroreceptor of atrial wall
- increase signal firing to medullary control center
- inhibition of SNS
- result in renal vasodilatation, decrease BP (decrease vassopression and increase ANP), increase HR
result of atrial stretch reflex
result in renal vasodilatation, decrease BP (decrease vassopression and increase ANP), increase HR
blood velocity increase or decrease with a higher cross-sectional area
decrease
which blood vessel as the higher velocity and slowest velocity
H: aorta
L: capillaries
blood flow become slower or faster the further away of the heart and why
slower to aid in O2 exchange, allow the O2 to have time to go out of the blood and reach cells
in laminar flow, the greatest velocity is found where and why
in the center of the vessel because there’s less resistance in the center
in laminar flow, the lowest velocity is found where and why
along the vessel wall, because there’s higher resistance along the vessel wall
in turbulent flow, the greater the cross-sectional area, the _ the velocity
lower
in turbulent flow, the greater the blood flow, the _ the velocity
greater
what is laminar flow
linear velocity
less amount of friction, highest velocity is found in the center
if the Reynold number is lower than 2100 which type of flow do we have
laminar
what is turbulent flow
happen if vessel is block by at theroscleritic plaque
if the Reynold number is higher that 4000 which type of flow do I have
continuous turbulent
in anemia you have which type of blood flow and explain
Low hemtocrit = blood less viscous = reynaud number increase = increase CO = turbulent flow
in thrombus which type of blood flow do we have and explain
Decrease diameter = reynaud number increase = turbulent
if velocity increase, Reynaud number increase or decrease
increase
if density increase, Reynold number increase or decrease
increase
if viscosity decrease, Reynold number increase or decrease
increase
if Reynold number is between 2100 and 4000 which type of flow do we have
transient turbulence
what is cardiac contractibility
Instrinsic ability of the myocardium to pump in the absence of change in preload and afterload
cardiac contractibility is altered by and which part of
cns has the more important effect
- Can be altered by: neural, humoral or pharmacological influence
- SNS has MOST importance effect
factor influence vascular resistance
viscosity -> proportional to resistance
blood vessel length -> longer vessel have more resistance than shorter vessel
blood vessel radius -> narrower = more resistance
what happen with blood flow if resistance increase
decrease
what happen with blood in vasoconstriction
decrease vessel radius -> increase resistance = decrease blood flow
what happen with blood flow and resistance in anemia
ischemia reduce red blood cell = decrease blood viscosity = decrease resistance = increase blood flow
what happen if a blood clot or blockage develop in artery
decrease artery radius = increase resistance = decrease blood flow
role of RBC in blood velocity
increase in RBC result in increase viscosity of blood = reduce blood velocity
what happen with blood velocity with polycythemia
increase in RBC = increase viscosity = increase resistance = decrease blood velocity = decrease blood flow
-> increase BP
what happen with blood viscosity in anemia
decrease RBC = decrease viscosity = increase velocity
factor influencing blood velocity
hematocrit
plasma protein
diameter of blood vessel
temperature;
determinant of blood pressure
total peripheral resistance
CO
blood viscosity
blood volume
what happen in blood viscosity if plasma protein decrease
decrease
