Regional Circulations I, II Flashcards
Purpose of Autoregulation of arteriolar resistance?
maintain constant flow during pressure ∆
Hyperemia is?
Achieved how?
Increased blood flow to body part
altering arteriolar resistance
Active Hyperemia is a response to what?
↑ metabolic activity in tissues
Reactive Hyperemia is a response to what?
↓ O2 delivery
(U) 2º to ↓ flow from obstruction
Myogenic Hypothesis of Pressure
↑ P -> ↑ stretch -> opens stretch-activated Ca2+ -> ↑ Ca2+ -> contracts vessels -> ↓ flow
Opposite occurs w/ ↓ P
Myogenic hypothesis explains?
autoregulation
does not explain active or reactive hyperemia
Metabolic Hypothesis says what happens when ↑ in Pressure?
↑ P -> ↑ flow -> ↑ O2 delivery -> removes metabolic byproducts -> vasoconstriction -> ↓ flow
Metabolic Hypothesis says what happens when ↓in Pressure?
↓ P -> ↓ flow -> ↓ O2 delivery -> ↑ metabolic byproducts -> relaxes vessels -> ↑ flow
Metabolic hypothesis explains?
active and reactive hyperemia and autoregulation
Arteriolar Resistance in Skeletal mm at Rest
arteriolar resistance ↑ due to:
↓ in dilation mediators,
resting symp vasoconstriction of α1 receptors
Effects of symp stim of skeletal mm
epinephrine activates β2 receptors ->
vasodilation ->
metabolic byproducts (adenosine, CO2, K)
α1 adrenergic receptors:
location
chem mediator
result
all arteriolar smooth mm
Norepi (from symp fibers),
Epi (from adrenal medulla)
Vasoconstriction
β2 adrenergic receptors:
location
chem mediator
result
arteriolar smooth mm heart, skeletal
Epi (from adrenal medulla)
Vasodialation
Coronary Circulation:
Reactive Hyperemia in LV
↑ LV wall pressure during systole occludes coronary circulation ->
↓ L coronary vascular resistance ->
↑ L coronary flow during diastole
Symp stim of cardiac mm
activates β1 rec -> ↑ chrono and inotropics -> ↑ metabolism/byproducts -> ↓ O2 -> vasodilation
Symp stim of coronary vasculature
activates α1 receptors ->
vasoconstriction
During exercise, which mediator dominates?
vasodilators
Normal perfusion of blood in brain tissue?
50 ml/min/100g of tissue
