CHPT 10- blood vessels Flashcards
which organs receive more blood for metabolic needs `
reconditioning organs
examples of reconditioning organs
digestive organs, kidneys, and skin
what do reconditioning organs do Better than other organs
handle decreased blood flow
which body structure can’t handle decreased blood floe
brain
what helps blood regulate temp
water
volume of blood passing through a vessel is ___ to pressure
directly proportional
vascular resistance and volume are
indirectly proportional
pressure gradient is
pressure diff b/w beginning and end of a vessel
which direction does blood flow
down the pressure gradient
why does pressure decrease
due to friction
what happens with a narrow diameter
decreased flow, increased pressure and resistance
what determines flow of rate
pressure gradient
measure of ‘delay’/ opposition to blood flow is
vasular resistance
what does resistance result from
friction between moving fluid and stationary vascular wall
increased resistance causes
decreased blood flow and increase heart rate (ONLY IF P IS CONSTANT)
resistance is affected by:
- blood viscosity
- vessel length
- vessel radius
friction between molecules of a fluid is known as
blood viscosity
what is blood viscosity determined by?
of circulating RBCs, water, and cellular components
constant radius with long vessel =
increased s.a = increase resistance
vessel radius is
the most important factor in determining
which law has factors that affect flow rate
poiseilles law
what does poiseilles law indicate
flow, P, R, are determined by radius
which bv is the rapid transit passageway for blood to organs
arteries
what provides force for blood when heart is relaxing
pressure reservoir by arteries
structure of arteries
collagen fibers and elastic fibers
what is blood pressure
the force extended abasing a vessel wall
what does blood pressure depend on
- V of blood contained within vessel
- compliance (dispensability) of vessel wall
max pressure exerted by ejected blood during ventricular contraction is known as
systolic pressure
how much blood leaves the arteries to go to arterioles
1/3
120mmHg is the
systolic pressure
diastolic pressure is the
min pressure in ratites when blood is draining off into vessels downstream,
when does no blood enter the arteries but continues to leaves
diastolic pressure
80mmHg is the
diastolic pressure
avg pressure throughout the cardiac cycle is the
mean pressure
pulse pressure is
systolic p - diastolic p
what type of pressure is felt at the arteries
pulse pressure
what are korotkoff sounds
- sounds head when determining BP
- sounds are distinct from heart sounds associated with value closure
when is the first sound during BP measuring
- peak systolic pressure
when is the last sound heard during BP measuring
- minimum diastolic
when is no sound heard when taking BP
- after the cuff is released
- due to uninterrupted smooth flow
average pressure driving blood forward into tissues thorough the cardiac cycle is known as
Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP)
how is MAP regulated
by BP reflexes
BP refers to
MAP
diastolic P + 1/3 pulse P is
formula for MAP
what controls smooth muscles for vasoconstriction
- myogenic activity
- oxygen
- co2
- endothelin
- increased sympathetic stimulation
- vasopressin
- angiotensin 2
- cold
- myogenic activity
- oxygen
- co2
- NO
- decreased sympathetic stimulation
- histamine release
- heat
allow vaso___
vasodilation
which part of the body does no Vaso constriction or dilation occur in?
brain
state of partial constriction of arteriolar smooth muscles is known as
vascular tone
factors responsible for vascular tone
- myogenic activités of smooth muscles (neural or hormonal influes)
- sym fibers releasing NE ( enhances vascular tone)
which factors determine the distribution of cardiac output
intrinsic factors
extrinsic factors are
important in BP regulation
what is the arteriolar radius controlled by
chemical and physical changes
local metabolic changes and histamine release are
chemical changes
what happens with histamine release
-vasodilation, edema, inflation, prostaglandins
local physical changes are
- application of heat and cold
- chemical response to shear stress
- myogenic response to stress
active hyperaemia is
- increases blood flow due to v.dilation
- allowing more O2 after metabolic changes use a lot of it
intrinsic changes include
- metabolic changes
- vasoactive mediators
- histamine changes
- physical changes
paracrine inflammation signal are
prostaglandins
what happens during metabolic changes
- decreased o2, increases co2, acid, K, and osmolarity
which factor causes changes that act directly on smooth muscles of arterioles
- intrinsic changes
function of endothelial cells in blood flow
- line bv
- participate in material exchange
- capillary permeability
examples of vasoactive mediators
- NO (nitrate oxide)
- endothelial cells
blood flowing over the surface of vessels creates
shear stress
