S2W4 L1- Circulatory Physiology- Regulation of MAP- Al Benson Flashcards
Mean arterial pressure
CO x total peripheral resistance
two factors that increase CO
increased SV
increased HR
two factors which increase HR
decreased parasymp impulses
increased symp impulses and adrenal medulla hormones
two factors which increase SV
increased symp impulses and adrenal medulla hormones
increased venous return
4 factors which increase venous return
increase blood vol
skeletal muscle pump
resp pump
vasoconstriction
3 factors which increase systemic vascular resistance
increased blood viscosity
increased total blood vessel length
decreased blood vessel radius
a factor which increases total blood vessel length
increased body size- obesity
a factor which increases blood viscosity
polycythaemia- increased number of rbc
where is the CV centre located
medulla oblongata
what are the CV centre inputs
higher brain centres
( cerebral cortex, limbic system, hypothalamus)
proprioceptors
baroreceptors
chemoreceptors
what are the CV centre outputs
vagus nerve -> heart
cardiac accelerator nerve->
heart
vasomotor nerves -> blood vessels
effect of increased frequency of impulses from vagus nerve to heart
decreased HR
effect of increased frequency of impulses from cardiac accelerator nerve to heart
increase HR and contractility
effect of increased frequency of impulses from vasomotor nerve to blood vessels
vasoconstriction
how are baroreceptors excited
increased atrial pressure, increased distending pressure on atrial wall, increased stretch
where are baroreceptors located
adeventitial layer of arterial walls in carotid sinus and aortic arch
what afferent projections do barorrecptors have and where to
IX and X cranial nerves projections to CV centre
what is the response when baroreceptors are activated
increase in MAP, increase parasymp stim of afferent, decrease symp stim of afferent, decrease SA node rate of firing, decrease ventricular myocardial contraction
what is baroreflex an example of
negative homeostasis feedback loop
