Physiology - circulating body fluids Flashcards
Discuss the central Neural control affecting arteriolar tone
Vasomotor centre in medulla constrict / dilatation
Influence by Baroreceptors
NA vasoconstrictor fibres from spinal cord to smooth muscles
Peripheral barroreceptor
Peripheral chemoreceptors
Discuss the hormones that influence arteriolar tone
Adrenaline Noradrenaline AT II Vasopressin Bradykinin Histamine >> basophils and mast cells
Describe the auto regulation of tissue blood flow
Flow remains constant despite moderate changes in perfusion pressure through alterations in vascular resistance
How does auto regulation apply to cerebral blood flow
Constant blood flow over pressure range of 65-140 mmHg
Sympathetic stimulation prolongs the plateau
What are the proposed mechanisms involved in auto regulation
Myogenic
Metabolic
What local factors can cause vasoconstriction or vasodilation
.
What are Baroreceptors and where are they located
6
What is the MOA of the Baroreceptors
Inhib stimulus to tractus solitarius medulla to decrease sympathetic discharge and increase cabal tone on the heart.
What is the action of Baroreceptors in the setting of acute blood loss
Decrease blood volume and venous return results in ….
Results in…
What is the maximum firing of Barorreceptors and what are they most sensitive to?
Pulse pressure rather than constant pressure.
150mmHg at carotids
What are the effects of Baroreceptors
What is the role of Baroreceptors
Inhibit tonic sympathetic tone & once. Vaal tone to ….
Allows rapid adjustments in BP in response to abrupt changes in posture blood volume, cardiac output, or peripheral resistance
Describe the factors that control blood flow to the myocardin
Local factors to control radius
Neurogenic
Pressure differences
How is BP maintained in the setting of cute blood loss (time frames)
1 Seconds/ minutes
2 mins to hours
3 longer term
What are the factors influence the vasomotor centre in the brain
1 Direct stimulation (co2 & hypoxia)
2 Exciting inputs (hypothalamus, pain pathways and chemoreceptors)
3 inhibitory inputs (from cortex via hypothalamus lungs and Baroreceptors)
Describe the factors affecting cardiac output
