Q

What is Renin and how does it work?

A

Enzyme secreted by Kidney

Angiotensinogen > Angiotensin I > (ACE) > Angiotensin II > (Adrenal Cortex) > Aldosterone

Sodium & Fluid Retention = ↑BP & ↑Blood Volume

17
Q

What is the Baroreceptor Reflex?

A

Receptors located in Cartoid Sinus & Aortic Arch

Senses blood pressure & adjusts HR, Contractility, & SVR accordingly.

18
Q

What surgery does Baroreceptor Reflex activation frequently cause hemodynamic changes?

A

Carotid Endarterectomy

19
Q

What does the Bainbridge Reflex do?

A

Increased Blood Volume = Increased HR

Slow Baseline = Increase HR w/ fluid

Fast Baseline = Decreased HR w/ fluid

20
Q

Where are the Atrial Stretch Receptors Located?

A

Vena Cava - Right Atrial Junction

Pulmonary Vein - Left Atrial Junction

21
Q

What are the effects of Atrial Stretch Reflex that is not part of the Bainbridge Reflex?

A

Increase Urine Output

Decrease BP & Blood Volume

22
Q

What is the Bezold-Jarisch Reflex?

A

Happens when there is a Strong Contraction of underfilled ventricle

causes Bradycrdia & Hypotension

23
Q

What is the CNS Ischemic Response?

A

When Low BP causes low O2 & high CO2 in the Medullary Vasomotor Center resulting in increased HR, Contractility, and MAP

24
Q

What is the Cushing Response?

A

Type of CNS Ischemic Response

Increased ICP d/t increased BP until blow flows are normal in the brain

25
Q

What is Cushing’s Triad?

A

Increased ICP

Hypertension

Bradycardia

26
Q

What is the Diving Reflex?

A

Activates when the face feels cold water and decreases HR & increases Vasoconstriction

27
Q

Where are the Peripheral Chemoreceptors located?

A

Aortic & Cortoid Bodies

28
Q

What do the Peripheral Chemoreceptors do?

A

Respiration Regulation and Increases SVR & MAP

Decreased PaO2 & Increased PCO2 excites vasomotor center d/t decreased BP

Activated when MAP < 80 mmHg

29
Q

What stimulates the Atrial Natriuretic Peptide (ANP)?

A

Atrial Distention

Sympathethic Stimulation

Angiotensin II

Endothelin

30
Q

What are the Direct effects of Hypoxia on the Circulatory System?

A

Profound Hypoxia causes ↓HR & ↓Contractility

31
Q

What is the Indirect effect of Hypercarbia?

A

Sympathetic stimulation causing ↑HR, ↑Contractility, & ↑SVR

32
Q

What is the Direct effect of Hypercarbia?

A

↓Contractility

33
Q

What is the “Fight or Flight” Response?

A

Mass discharge of Sympathetic Nervous System

↑BP

↑Blood Glucose

↑Strength & ↑Focus

↑Coagulation

↑Metabolism

34
Q

What are the 2 Types of Acetylcholine Receptors?

A

Muscarinic Receptor

&

Nicotinic Receptor - neuromuscular junction

35
Q

How does Neostigmine work?

A

Anti-Cholinersterase

@ Nicotinic Receptor - Reverse muscle relaxant

@Muscarinic - Bradycardia, Bronchospams, Salivation - Give Glycopyrrolate (Robinul)

36
Q

Which part of the Brainstem is the Vasomotor Center located?

A

Medulla

37
Q

Which neurotransmitter is released between the Pre-Ganglionic & Post-Ganglionic Sympathetic fibers?

A

38
Q

Which neurotransmitter is released between the Post-Ganglionic Sympathetic fibers & Target Site?

A
