the vascular system Flashcards
what is higher pressure, systemic or pulmonary
Systemic is higher pressure
how does pressure change as blood moves through the vasculature
decreases in amplitude with distance
what is the equation for pulse pressure
Systolic pressure-diastolic pressure
what is the maximum aterial pressure the same as in relation to the heart pumping
Systolic pressure
what is the minimum arterial pressure the same as in relation to the heart pump
Diastolic pressure
what determines pulse pressure
Stroke volume
speed of ejection of stroke volume
arterila compliance
what is compliance equation
change in volume/ change in pressure
what is the equation for mean arterial pressure
Diastolic pressure+ 1/3(SP-DP)
what kind of bump is the heart
intermittent pump
what allows for continuous flow
stretching and recoiling of the arterial walls
what does MAP mean
Pressure driving blood into the tisssues averaged over the cardiac cycle
what determines the relative blood flow to that organ
Arterioles
what is the formula for flow
Change in pressure/ resistance
what is the formula for flow to an organ
MAP/Resistance of the organ
is map different for every organ
No
what determines blood flow
MAP
what regulates organ blood flow
Resistance in the arterioles
what are the local control mechansisms for the intrinsic tone of the arterioles
Active hyperemia
Flow autoregulation
what causes active hypermia in the arterioles
metabolites
Accumulation of CO2, H+, K+, eicosanoids, adenosine, bradykinin, NO
what does active hyperemia do
Increase blood flow in places with lots of metabolites
