RANDOM Flashcards
Where the cells ca n generate action potentials or electrical impulses WITHOUT being excited to do so by external stimuli
AUTOMATICITY
Work to “dilate the vessels “ if more blood flow is needed in area
Vasomotor Tone
The “coordination” of these impulses throught the medulla
Cardiovascular Center
Excessive high blood pressure
- can damage the fragile lining of blood vessel
- cause disruption of blood flow to the tissues
Hypertension
Where blood from “tiny arterioles flow”
( CONNECTS THE ARTERIAL ANF VENOUS SYSTEM )
Capillary System
Shifting of fluid in the capilalries
CAPILLARY FLUID SHIFT
Also referred as “Venous System”
Capacitance System
Where the veins has the “capacity” to hold large quantities of fluid
CAPACITANCE SYSTEM
These “arteries” encircle the heart in pattern resembling a crown
“CORONARY” ARTERIES
The excretion of “sodium” and water from the kidney
- first agents tried in mild hypertension
- “urination” and disturb electrolute and acid base balances
DIURETICS
