Topic 10 Flashcards
local pressure drop in arterioles is greater with –
vasoconstriction
capillary flows and pressures vary from –
region to region
when – increases to match work load, flows are not uniformly increased to all organs
cardiac output
during strenuous exercise, CO to brain is –
about the same
during strenuous exercise, CO to heart increases –
3.5x
large coronary arteries on the epicardial surface divide frequently and enter the myocardium to form a –
dense capillary network
areas of – on coronary arteries are subject to turbulent flow and lesions
bifurcation
when body is resting, coronary flow is about –
4% of total flow
200-225 ml/min
there is a – ration of capillaries to cells
1:1 ratio (among highest in body)
the majority of venous return goes to the RA via the –
coronary sinus
the coronary capillary circulation is embedded in the –
contracting myocardium
– feeds the coronaries
LV
when the left ventricle contracts, the pressure in the wall is – than the perfusion pressure in the coronary vessel
the same or greater than
left coronary blood flow is greatest during –
diastole
the oxygen tension in the venous blood leaving the – is the lowest of any venous blood in the body leaving little room for additional O2 extraction to meet any increased demand from heart
coronary capillaries
How do you meet increased myocardial O2 demand?
increase blood flow
coronary flow is primarily modulated by –
metabolic factors like adenosine and NO thru ANS, hypoxia, angiotensin, vasopressin and other drugs that modify flow
there is a strong correlation between – and coronary flow
myocardial metabolism
the coronary circulation is highly – and consists of a dense capillary bed designed to adequately supply the heart with oxygen
specialized
LV coronary flow is highly dependent on – since little perfusion is possible in the LV during systole
diastolic arterial pressure
compared to LV, RV flow is more –
balanced (constant)
cerebral blood flow is relatively independent of –
MAP
what regulates cerebral blood flow?
local hyperemia and autoregulation
cerebral neurons require an adequate supply of oxygen and – at all times
glucose
though only 2% of body mass, the CNS consumes nearly – of O2 at rest and maintains no energy reserves
20%
