39

52
Q

how is coronary blood flow regulated

A

myogenic, metabolic and neutral controls

53
Q

myogenic mechanism role in in coronary blood flow

A

myogenic mechanism (Bayliss effect) provides autoregulation, maintaining stable flow during perfusion pressure (60-160 mmHg)

54
Q

describe how Bayliss effect maintains coronary blood flow

A

increased arterial pressure causes vasoconstriction to limit blood flow, while decreased pressure causes vasodilation maintaining steady flow

54
Q

mechanism of Bayliss effect at cellular level

A

increased pressure raises wall tension, activating non-selective cation channels, leading to depolarisation and VDCC activation which increases Ca2+ and causes vasoconstriction

55
Q

what happens at cellular level in Bayliss effect when pressure decreases

A

decreased pressure reduces wall tension, decreasing activation of cation channels and VDCC leading to less Ca2+ and resulting in vasodilation

56
Q

metabolic regulation

process where factors from metabolism cause vasodilation

57
Q

what happens to o2 and co2 during exercise

A

o2 decreases, co2 increases which triggers vasodilation

Q

what effects cause vasodilation

A

decreased PO2, increased Co2, increased H+, increased K+ and increased adenosine

59
Q

how does increased heart rate indirectly cause vasodilation

A

higher heart rate increases CO leading to vasodilation

60
Q

difference between abrupt and gradual occlusion in coronary vessels

A

-abrupt occlusion leads to necrosis
-gradual occlusion allows new vessels to form, reducing damage

A

compresses brain tissue, which can cause damage

74
Q

what is Cushing reflex

A

increased intracranial pressure (ICP) compresses arteries leading to increased blood pressure and decreased heart rate
