Week 9 Flashcards
What controls Skeletal muscle Blood flow?
- SYM innervation
- Local metabolites
What control dominates at Rest in Skeletal muscle flow?
SYM inneravtion
- a1: NE, Vasoconstriction (dominant)
- B2: E, Vasodilation (fight-flight)
What control dominates during Exercise in Skeletal muscle flow?
Local Metabolites
Functional Hyperemia
Increase in tissue perfusion due to presence of Metabolites
Reactive Hyperemia
Increase in tissue perfusion following short period of Ischemia
Skeletal Blood flow REST
1L / min
(20% of CO)
Skeletal Blood flow EXERSISE
20 - 30L / min
Skeletal Blood flow AVDO2
(rest & exercise)
- Rest: 60ml / L
- Exercise: 150ml / L
Splanchnic Circulation Flow rate (Qs)
1500ml / min
Which local metabolites trigger vasodilation in skeletal muscle during exercise?
Decreased pO2, increased pCO2, increased lactate (decreased pH), increased K+, and increased adenosine (from ATP metabolism).
2 main functions of splanchnic circulation?
- Site of adjustable resistance
- Major reservoir of blood
How do local hormones like CCK and Neurotensin affect splanchnic blood flow?
Increase local blood flow.
(especially after meals, to support digestion and nutrient absorption)
What is postprandial circulation in the splanchnic system?
Increase in blood flow to the GI tract (after a meal) to support metabolic needs and nutrient absorption
(7-8x increase)
What controls Blood flow in coronary circulation? (+ most importrant)
Local Metabolites
MOST IMPORTANTLY Adenosine & Hypoxia
Coronary Blood flow (Qc)
- Resting: 200 - 250ml / min
(5% of CO 5.6L/min) - Exercise: 1250ml / min
Coronary AVDO2
- Resting: 120 - 130ml / L
- Exercise: 900 - 1200ml / L
O2 consumption of Heart
30ml /min
