Q

what is MAP?

A

Q

what is the brain vs sa node’s role in the beating of the heart?

A

the sa node makes the heart beat, but the brain tells it to speed up or slow down.

Q

to bring blood pressure up:

A

sympathetic system through sympathetic trunk ganglion into sympathetic cardiac nerves which interact directly with SA and AV nodes (SA contracts faster, AV pause shorter).

21
Q

how does unidirectional flow happen?

A

because there is a difference in pressure between arteries and veins

22
Q

out of the aorta:

A

the arteries branch into smaller ones that go to specific organs

23
Q

what kind of pressure is the systemic system under?

A

high pressure (high in arteries, low in veins)

24
Q

what kind of pressure is the pulmonary circuit under?

A

it is short so low resistance and low pressure

25
Q

at rest blood comes out opf the heart:

A

and into organs in parallel (mostly stomach, kidneys, stomach, muscles)

26
Q

what happens in light exercise?

A

increased blood flow, heart rate, stroke volume, caardiac output

27
Q

with exercise what changes in blood flow to organs?

A 
brain - same
heart - more
kidney - less
abdominal - less
skin - more (heat)
other - less
skeletal muscle - much more
28
Q

what is the systemic circuit made of?

A

a bunch of mini cricuits in parallel with one another

29
Q

how is MAP controlled during exercise?

A

increased cardiac output so total peripheral resistance needs to be reduced (MAP = CO x TPR)

30
Q

what is TPR?

A

total periperal resistance - resistance of all vessels in the body to blood movement.

31
Q

how is TPR changed in exercise?

A

it is increased in some vessels because some organs dont need as much blood

32
Q

what controls resistance and regional flow?

A

resistance vessels - arterioles

33
Q

what allows arterioles to control resistance?

A

surrounded by smooth muscle.

34
Q

what is the resistance formula?

A

r = 1/r4 = 1/(.5d) 4

35
Q

what is luminal radius?

A

the radius of the blood vessel

36
Q

how do you make resistance higher

A

make the diameter of the vessel smaller

37
Q

what is it called when veins get smaller or bigger?

A

vasoconstriction and vasodilation

38
Q

what is the rule of 16?

A

when you change the diameter by 2, the blood flow changes x 16

39
Q

what happens to blood flow when you double the diameter?

A

ml/min is x16

40
Q

what are the three things that control vascular resistance?

A
  1. mechanical (response to force)
  2. neural (vascular sympathetic nerves)
  3. humoral (blood)
41
Q

what %of blood is in veins? why?

A

64%, extra blood is stored in veins

42
Q

pressure and volume arteries vs veins:

A

arteries - high pressure, low volume

veins - low pressure, high volume

43
Q

which is more complient?

A

veins - their shape is easily chnged due to the volume.

44
Q

what is the compliance formula?

A

change in volume/change in pressure

45
Q

where is most of the blood in the veins? why?

A

small veins/venules (they are most complient)

46
Q

what is survival value?

A

veins can quickly push more blood back to the heart for arteries when they loose blood to save the MAP from dropping.

47
Q

what does vascular compliance and gravity mean? How is this managed?

A

blood is at risk of pooling to distal parts.

  • valves
  • tone of surrounding tissue makes the veins less complient and therefore stops pooling.
  • skeletal msucle contracting increases venous return
48
Q

how would low muscle tone impact someone in re blood?

A

they experience blood pooling and fainting because their muscle is not holding the structure of their veins so gravity pools the blood.

49
Q

why does exercise increase blood flow speed?

A

skeletal muscle contracting increases venous return to the heart back through the circuits.

50
Q

what is starling’s law of the heart?

A

the more blood put into the heart before contraction, the stronger the contraction will be.

51
Q

why is starling’s law of the heart true?

A

the more blood, the more the heart tissue stretches, the further the actin and myosin filaments are stretched from each other, so when they contract, they are pulled further making the contraction more significant.

52
Q

what happens to stroke volume and cardiac output when the baroreflex/tilt test is conducted?

A

they both descrease. There is less effects of gravity to combat.
