Q

Starling’s Hypothesis:

Net filtration rate = ?

Positive net pressure gradient = ?

Negative net pressure gradient = ?

A

(P intracapillary - P interstitial) - (oncotic pressure of intracapillary fluid - oncotic pressure of interstitial fluid)

Positive net pressure gradient = filtration

Negative net pressure gradient = Reabsorption

***hydrostatic and oncotic pressure of IF are usually zero

***oncotic pressure usually does not change

Q

compliancy (C) = ?

A

Q

Pressure reservoir?

A

Arteries

**small change in V builds up a lot of P –> recoils to drive blood through the periphery

Q

Relate MAP, CO, and TPR:

A

MAP = CO x TPR

**MAP also = Pdias + 1/3(Psys -Pdias…PP)

or

MAP = 2/3Pdias + 1/3Psys

18
Q

relate pulse pressure, stroke volume and compliance.

A

PP = SV/C arterial

19
Q

Vascular smooth muscle contraction depends on?

A

Ca2+

20
Q

Basic pathway for Ca2+ mediated VSM contraction:

A
  1. Ca2+ + calmodulin
  2. activation of myosin light chain kinase
  3. MLC kinase + ATP –> phosphorylation of MLC protein –> MLC-PO4
  4. cross bridge formation and cycling, energy from ATP –> tension development/shortening

**5. removal of phosphate from MLC returns cell to relaxation

21
Q

Resting membrane potential of VSM?

A

-40 to -65 mV

**determined by K+ permiability

22
Q

two causes of VSM action potentials:

A
  1. slow inward Ca2+ current (like pacemaker cells)

2. stretch sensitive cation channels

23
Q

In addition to membrane depol, how else can Ca2+ get into VSM cell?

A

Pharmacomechanical coupling (vasoconstrictor agonist)

G coupled protein receptor, IP3 (opens Ca2+ channels in SR)

24
Q

2 methods for VSM relaxation:

A
  1. hyperpolarization
  2. chemical vasodilators –> Beta2 receptors –> increased cAMP/cGMP –> active protein kinase A –> lots of phoshorylation –> Ca2+ efflux, hyperpol, decreased contractile machinery sensitivity to Ca2+
25
Q

Most important means of local arterial flow?

A

Metabolic

Dilation: low O2, high CO2/H+/K+, release of adenosine

26
Q

Endothelial cells effect on arterial tone?

A

NO –> increased cGMP

27
Q

NO production stimulated by?

A

Ach, bradykinin, vasoactive intestinal peptide

28
Q

Other chemicals involved in control of arterial tone?

A

Prostaglandins, thromboxane

29
Q

Active phase of VSM reacting to change in transmural pressure:

A

myogenic respone

30
Q

Most important means of reflex control in vasculature?

A

SNS vasoconstrictive nerves

31
Q

NT and receptor for SNS vasoconstriction

A

NE, a1

32
Q

Hormonal influence for vasoconstriction and its receptor?

A

Vasopressin (ADH) – a1

33
Q

Hormonal influence for vasodilation and its receptor?

A

Angiotensin II – Beta2 (more sensitive to epi than a1)

34
Q

Is venous tone subject to local metabolic needs?

A

nope

35
Q

What is the pressure of the circulatory system if there were no flow?

A

7 mmHg

“Mean circulatory filling pressure”

36
Q

Two major variables that affect mean circulatory filling pressure:

A
  1. circulating blood volume

2. state of peripheral venous tone

37
Q

Central integration of the baroreceptor reflex occurs where?

A

medullary cardiovascular centers

38
Q

where are baroreceptors located?

A
  1. aortic arch

2. carotid sinuses

39
Q

When do PNS and SNS work in concert instead of reciprocally?

A

Dive reflex

40
Q

RAAS?

A

Renin, angiotensin, aldosterone system

**increased aldosterone increases Na+ reabsorption in the kidneys –> water follows
