Q

How does auto regulation apply to cerebral blood flow

A

Constant blood flow over pressure range of 65-140 mmHg

Sympathetic stimulation prolongs the plateau

Q

What is the MOA of the Baroreceptors

A

Inhib stimulus to tractus solitarius medulla to decrease sympathetic discharge and increase cabal tone on the heart.

Q

What are the physiological responses to moderate blood loss

A

1 decrease Venus return, stimulation of Baroreceptors including catecholamine release
2 decrease renal bloodflow and activation of RAS
3 fluid shifts, hepatic synthesis of proteins and increase in red blood cell production

17
Q

Describe what happens to Cardiac out during exercise

A

18
Q

What are the local mechanisms to maintain a high blood flow in exercising muscle

A

4

19
Q

What factors affect cerebral blood flow

A

5

20
Q

Describe auto regulation of cerebral bloodflow

A

it is the process by which cerebral bloodflow is maintained at a constant level despite variation in perfusion pressure.
Average cerebral bloodflow is 54mls/ 100g/minute between MAP of 65 to 140mmHg

21
Q

What is the Munro Kelly doctrine

A

1 The brain tissue and spinal fluid are essentially incompressible
2 The volume of blood spinal fluid and brain tissue must be relatively constant
3 So when ICP rises, the cerebral blood vessels are compressed resulting in reduced cerebral bloodflow

22
Q

What is cushing’s reflex

A

1 Increased ICP >33mmHg decreases CBF to cause is harms
2 causes increased stimulation of Baroreceptors and vagal outflow
3 bradycardia and slowing of respiration

23
Q

Describe coronary artery or blood flow during the cardiac cycle

A

Flow in diastolic
LV subendocardium most vulnerable
RCA folw through systolic and diastolic due to lower RV pressures

24
Q

What factors decrease coronary artery bloodflow

A

1 physiologic

2 pathological

25
Q

What chemical factors regulate coronary bloodflow

A

8

26
Q

Describe the neural regulation of coronary bloodflow

A

Alpha
Beta
Vagal
Noradrenaline but offset but incr HR & contra tiling with production of metabolites to maintain coronary blood flow

27
Q

What percentage of cardiac output goes to the kidneys

A

.

28
Q

How is renal bloodflow regulated

A

1 substances and chemicals 7
2 renal nerves
3 Autoregulation

29
Q

How can Reynolds bloodflow be measured

A

Flicks principle

PAH acid to measure renal flow

30
Q

Describe the differences in regional blood flow within the kidney

A

Cortex vs medulla

31
Q

Describe the mechanisms of Venus return to the heart

A

Thoracic pump
Effect of beating heart
Muscular pump
Differential resistance of veins closer tot the heart

32
Q

Describe the ABO blood types and their inheritance

A

Mendelian co-dominance

Ha tigers similar to intestinal bacteria promotes development of antibodies
