Part 2 Flashcards
In systemic arteries, a small change in volume is associated with a?
Large change in pressure
In systemic veins, a large change in volume is associated with a?
Small change in pressure
What is 8x more distensible and 24x more compliant than systemic arteries?
Veins
Increased pressure tightens?
Wall Tone
Decreased pressure loosens?
Wall Tone
What causes osscilating pressure?
Change in blood volume
Local blood flow is regulated in proportion to the?
Metabolic Demand in most tissues
Short term control of blood flow involves vasodilation and vasoconstriction of?
Pre-capillary Resistent Vessels
Long term control of blood flow involves?
Changes in tissue vascularity
Changes in tissue vascularity includes?
- Formation/Dissolution of Blood Vessels
2. Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor and Angiogenin
What acts as an integrator of multiple inputs?
Arterioles
Arterioles are richly innervated by SNS vasoconstrictor fibers and have?
Alpha Receptors
Arterioles are effected by local factors which include?
Vasodilators
Circulating Substances
Local vasodilators include?
Nitric Oxide Carbon Monoxide Oxygen Adenosine Potassium Ions Hydrogen Ions PGE and PGI
With vasodilation decreased resistance will?
Increase Flow
With vasoconstriction increased resistance will?
Decrease Flow
As tissue uses up oxygen, vascular smooth muscle cannot maintain constriction. This is known as?
Oxygen Demand Theory
The ability to keep blood flow constant in the face of a changing arterial BP is called?
Autoregulation
Most tissues show some degree of?
Autoregulation
In the kidney, both renal flow and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) are?
Autoregulated
Long term control of flow involves changes in?
Tissue Vascularity
What is the production of new micro vessels?
Angiogenesis
Shear stress caused by enhanced blood flow velocity associated with partial occlusion is called?
Arteriogenesis
Angiogenic factors are small peptides that stimulate?
Growth of new vessels
