A

combo of plasma (with lower m.w prot) become entrapped in brush pile made from fine filaments of proteoglycants, - make fluids diffuse with eases

Q

Starling forces:

A

1) Capil Hydrostatic P - outward of capil force
2) Interstitial Oncotic colloid osmotic P - Outward force of the intersittial fluid to the inside of capil

3) Capil plasma colloid oncotic P- inward force of fluid entering in the capil system
4) Interstitial fluid P - inward fluid of capil into interstiial spaces

Q

Acute control of local blood flow

A

Achieved by rapid changes in vasodilation or vasoconstriction of arterioles - metaarterioles - precapil sphinceters - up to 8x

Vasodilator theory - theory that the greater the metab rate of o2 the more forming vasodilating substances which inc adenosine for ex and that vasodilates

Oxygen lack theory- in absence of o2 the blood vessels simply relax and dilate, causing vasomotion and speed propotional to need for oxygen

Q

Blood flow autoregulation

A

Returning blood flow to normal levels- even after sustained peak of A.P
Metabolic theory - when P becomes to high it provides to much o2 and excess nutrients and that washes out the vasodilating subsantsace causing the vessels to constrict to normal

Myogenic Theory - When high pressure it stretches the vessel to much, so then the vessel constriction occurs to bring back to normal

Q

Venous return

A

quantity of blood returned to the hear right atrium per minute, sum of all local blood flows , same as CO

17
Q

Bainbridge reflex

A

Its a reflex in inc heart rate due to inc CNS P, preventing blood damming of blood in veins and atrium and pulm circulation

18
Q

FrankStarling law

A

States that whne inc quantities of blood flow inot heart - it inc volume and that stretches the wall and that causes muscle to contract with increased force

19
Q

Barro-R

A

Stimulated when stretched recepeter on walls of arteries

20
Q

Vasomotor center

A

responsible to transmit parasymp (vagus nerve to heart) and Sym (symp fibbers to arteries/a’ioles and veins)
using : vasonctrictor areas , vasodialtor areas and sensory area

21
Q

Ionic influence to circulation

A
vasoconstricts= ca , NE , Epi , ADH and AngII
Vasodilator = K+ , Mg2+ , H+ bradykinin, histamines , Adenosine
22
Q

Humoral control

A

is the control of circulation by substances secreted or absorbed into body fluids - ex:hormones and locally made factors

23
Q

What is the M.A.P of aorta?

A

100mmHg

24
Q

What are the principles of circulation

A

1-Rate of blood flow to each tissue is precisely controlled
2-C.O = sum of local tissue flows
3-Artery Regulation Pressureis independant of local flow or cardiac output (nervous reflexes )

25
Q

What are the factors taht determins blood flow

A

Pressure difference
and
Vascular resistance

26
Q

C.O

A

is the quantity of blood that flows thru aorta per given time usually 5000mL/Min

27
Q

Conductance

A

Measure of blood flow trhu a vessel for a given pressure difference
Conductance = 1/R = diameter ^4

28
Q

Vascular distensability

A

inc volume / inc pressure x ori vol

29
Q

What affects Pulse pressure

A

Stroke Vol output
Ejection of blood from systol
Compliance of arterial tree

30
Q

What is the most important to regulating circulation ?

A

The autonomic nervous system. as it is the fastest.
