PSL301: Cardio 7 Flashcards
List the chemicals that cause vasoconstriction
- NE binding to a-receptors
- ANG II
List the chemicals that cause vasodilation
- E binding to B2-receptors
- Adenosine
- Natriuretic peptides
- low O, high CO2, high H+, high K+
Physiological role of NE (a-receptor)
Baroreflex
Physiological role of ANG II
Increase blood pressure
Physiological role of E (B2-receptor)
Increased blood flow / dilation
Physiological role of adenosine
Increase blood flow to match metabolism
Physiological role of natriuretic peptides
Reduce blood pressure
Physiological role of low O2, high CO2, high H+, high K+
Increase blood flow to match metabolism

Define: hyperemia
Locally mediated increase in blood flow
What happens during active hyperemia?
- Release of (metabolic) vasodilators into ECF
- Arterioles dilate
- Decrease resistance & increase blood flow
- More supplies given to the metabolically active cell
- Blood flow eventually washes vasodilators away
