Unit 1 Lecture 8 Flashcards
What 3 things controls blood pressure and blood flow?
- Neural control
- Hormonal control
- Local control
What makes up neural control?
cardiovascualr reflexes
What makes up hormonal control?
- catecholaminies, ADH, angiotensin II and aldosterone
- ANP
- Histamine
Where does neural control occur?
Cardiac centers of the medulla and the vagus nerve
What does the neural control regulate?
Heart rate, Stroke volume, and blood vessel diameter
Where does the cardiovascular (CV) center receive its information?
- Higher brain centers
- propriocenters
- baroreceptors
- chemoreceptors
What type of nerve impulses are sent to the cardiovascular center?
sensory nerve impulses
What higher brain centers input to the CV center?
Cerebral cortex, limbic system, and hypothalamus
What does proprioceptors do?
monitor joint movements
What does baroreceptors do?
monitor blood pressure
What does chemoreceptors do?
monitor blood acidity, CO2, and O2
Where does the neural control send its information?
the cardiovascular center (in the brainstem?)
What are the 3 functional regions of the cardiovascular center?
- cardioinhibitory center
- cardioacceleratory center
- vasomotor center
what functional regions of the cardiovascular center is responsible for the sympathetic ns?
cardioacceleratory center and (partly) vasomotor center
What functional regions of the cardiovascular center is responsible for the parasympathetic ns?
cardioinhibitory center
