Wk 7 - LE 13: Cardiovascular (Controlling BF) Flashcards
Achieving a steady MAP is by controlling the variation of ____ and ____
CO and TPR
Every organ can control their own ______
Perfusion (blood flow)
total blood known is known as
CO
Most of the increase in CO is distributed to …?
Skeletal muscles (and some to skin and heart)
Increases in regional blood flows are achieved mainly via decreases in…?
Vascular resistance in these regionals
Most decrease in TPR is due to a decrease in _____ _______ in contracting muscle
vascular resistance
Dilation/constriction is referring to the ….?
cross section diameter/radius of vessel
Blood enters muscle in contraction or relaxation?
Relaxation
What neurons affect vasoconstriction?
Sympathetic vascular neurons
What 5 factors contribute to vasodilation in active muscle?
1) intramuscular pressure
2) muscle metabolites
3) endothelial (e.g. nitric oxide)
4) humoral (erythrocytes, adrenalin)
5) Thermal & other neurall
The decline in TPR during graded exercise is linked mainly to …
a decrease in vascular resistance in contracting skeletal muscle
