S2 L1.2: SAH: Principal Mechanisms Flashcards
Amount of volume inside blood vessels
Intravascular Volume
T/F: Intravascular volume is a primary determinant of arterial pressure over the long term.
True
Statement 1: If you decrease extracellular fluid volume, there is an associated increase in blood pressure
Statement 2: Alterations in total extracellular fluid volume are associated with proportional changes of blood volume
a. TF
b. FT
c. TT
d. FF
b. FT
If you increase extracellular fluid volume, there is an associated increase in blood pressure
Primary determinant of the extracellular fluid volume
Sodium
Statement 1: Where sodium goes water goes/ sodium attracts water
Statement 2: Body absorbs a lot of water resulting to hypertension
a. TF
b. FT
c. TT
d. FF
c. TT
When NaCl intake exceeds the capacity of the kidney to excrete sodium, __ __ initially expands and __ __ increases
- Vascular Volume
- Cardiac Output
Maintains cardiovascular homeostasis
Autonomic Nervous System
Autonomic Nervous System controlls all the involuntary things in the body (3)
- Blood Pressure
- Volume
- Chemoreceptor signals
Three endogenous catecholamines (Fight or flight hormones)
Norepinepherine
Epinephrine
Dopamine
Cardiovascular Regulation
Contraction of the blood vessels
Tonic
Cardiovascular Regulation
Overtime, sometimes excretes and sometimes they don’t
Phasic
Circadian Rhythm
Statement 1: When we sleep and rest, the blood pressure and heart rate goes down
Statement 2: When we are about to wake up, there is a surge of catecholamines resulting to increase in hr and bp
a. TF
b. FT
c. TT
d. FF
c. TT
Throughout the day, it subsides and goes
back to resting period
Reflexes that modulated blood pressure over the short term
Adrenergic reflexes
Fight or flight move (Increase BP & HR)
T/F: Adrenergic function, in concert with hormonal and volume-related factors, contributes to the long-term regulation of arterial pressure
True
Synthesized by adrenergic neurons
Noripinephrine and Dopamine
Taken back in a promise called Reuptake Mechanism
Synaptic Cleft
Method of Release:
Norepinephrine and Dopamine
- Initially stored in vesicles within the neuron
- It is then released into the synaptic cleft and to receptor sits on target tissues.
- It is then either metabolized or taken up into the neuron by an active reuptake process.
Synthesized in the adrenal medulla and released into the circulation upon adrenal stimulation
Epinephrine
This catecholamine does not get stored anywhere else
Epinephrine
Receptor that perceive the pressure.
Several reflexes modulate blood presure on a pressure on min-to-min basis
Baroreceptors
Where are the stretch sensitive sensory nerve endings located?
In the carotid Sinuses and the Aortic Arch
Rate of firing of these baroreceptors with arterial pressure
Increase or decrease?
Increase
Decrease of sympathetic outflow results in a ___ of arterial pressure and heart rate.
Decrease
Primary mechanism for rapid buffering of acute fluctuations of arterial pressure that may occur during __?
Postural changes, behavioral or physiological stress, and changes in blood volume
When the baroreceptors are stretched, what would it interpret?
An increase in pressure
