A&P Exam #2 Flashcards
(265 cards)
How are blood flow, resistance, and pressure related? What is the equation?
F= delta P, F=1/R, F= delta P/R
How does exercise change blood flow to specific tissues?
SKM= arterioles dilate (metabolic)=Less BP → extrinsic SNS increases→ BV constriction → Decrease BV to guts/ kidneys
Elastic arteries
-near heart→aorta And branches
-Pressure reservoir, expand and recoil
Muscular Arteries
-Deliver O2 to organs→ distribution
-thickest tunica media= vasoconstriction
Arterioles
-Regulate blood flow, most resistant
-Can constrict or dilate from hormones, neural cues, and chemicals
Continues Capillaries
least permeable (tight junction), most common: skin, CNS, muscles
Fenestrated Capillaries
filtration, absorption(intestines), large pores= greater permeability
Sinusoid Capillary
most permeable: liver, marrow, spleen, medulla, v. large pores
Precapillary Sphincter
Regulates flow in and out of capillaries
Venules
leaky capillaries
Veins Details
-65% of blood volume= blood resevoir
-valves= prevent backflow of blood (tunica intima=sl valves)
Venous sinuses
Varicose Veins
-Leaky valves
-from genetic, obesity, pregnancy, and hormones
Tunica Intimina
-simple squamous
-inner most layer
-Elastic membrane
Tunica Media
-Circular smooth muscle
-Elastic membrane
-Controlled by SNS, hormones, chemical,= vasodialation or vasoconstriction
Tunica Externa
-layer
-Loose collagen= anchor and protect
-Has elastic fibers,nerves, vaso vasorum
How does Blood flow
areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure
Blood Flow (F)
Volume of blood per minute
Blood Pressure
-Force Exerted on Vessel wall by flowing blood
-pressure gradient is a force that keeps blood moving
Blood Resistance (TPR)
-caused by viscosity
-vessel length
-BV diameter
What happens when LV Contracts (Arterial Pressure)
-blood stretches aorta
-systolic BP= 120 mmHg
-high pressure from blood in arteries
What happens when LV Relaxes?
-caused by aortic SL valve closing
-aorta wall recoils= keeps blood flowing
-Diastolic BP= 80mmHg
How doe elastic arteries keep blood flowing?
auxillary pumps
What is Pulse Pressure
Systolic-diastolic= 40mmHg
MAP Formula
MAP=DBP+ pulse pressure (PP)/3
