Test 3: lecture 5 Flashcards
what structures are the primary determinants of resistance?
arterioles
•In the ____organs: intrinsic mechanisms predominate
critical
•In ___ organs: extrinsic mechanisms predominate
non-critical
•In ___: both extrinsic and intrinsic influences are strong
skin
intrinsic control of blood flow
- Local factors control flow in response to changes in metabolic activity
- Increased metabolic activity generally causes vasodilation
- Decreased metabolic activity generally causes vasoconstriction
___metabolic activity generally causes vasodilation
•Increased
___ metabolic activity generally causes vasoconstriction
•Decreased
active hyperemia
if you work harder you will get more blood flow to that area (causes vasodilation)
trys to keep the amount of O2 used and CO2 produced even
reactive hyperemia
occurs in response to a temporary physical restriction to blood flow
think capillary refill time - when you restrict blood flow and then restart blood to that area, more blood then usual will go to the area to try to collect the excess waste products that were just sitting there
when you press on gums, then remove is white then becomes even more pink then normal
what are some things that increased metabolic rate will lead to
metabolic autoregulation
in response to increased perfusion pressure
explain what happens to blood flow through metabolic autoregulation in response to increased perfusion pressure
increase in pressure causes the washout of vasodilators which causes vasoconstriction which will decrease blood flow→ fixing the problem
myogenic autoregulation
stretch receptors
(happen in kidneys)
increased flow = causes pressure on stretch receptors, this will cause constriction and decreased overall flow
what are some mechanisms of intrinsic control of blood flow
active hyperemia- give more blood to area that is more active
reactive hyperemia- give more blood to area that had lost blood supply
metabolic autoregulation: increase BP causes washout of vasodilators which leads to vasoconstriction and overall decrease in Blood flow and decrease in BP
myogenic autoregulation: increase in blood flow cause stretch receptors which will cause vasoconstriction and decrease overall flow
sympathetic control will cause blood vessels to ___
constrict
norepinephrine binds to alpha adrenergic receptors
this activates phosphatidylinositol bisphosphate second messenger system → vasoconsrtiction → increased TPR → increased MAP
what does epinephrine bind to and what does it cause
can bind to alpha or Beta 2 adrenergic receptor
likes Beta 2 more
if it binds to alpha receptor → activation of PIP2 second messenger → vasoconstriction→ increased TPR
if bind to beta 2 → cAMP second messenger system → vasodilation→ decreased TPR
epinephrine binding to beta 2 adrenergic receptors cause
beta 2 → cAMP second messenger system → vasodilation→ decreased TPR
