How would an increase in stroke volume affect blood pressure and why?
Increase in blood pressure, because more blood is being pumped into the arteries
how would a decrease in cardiac output affect blood pressure
decrease in blood pressure
how would an increase in viscosity of the blood affect blood pressure
increase in pressure
how would a decrease in blood vessel length affect blood pressure
increase in blood pressure
How would vasoconstriction of the blood vessels affect the blood pressure and why?
increase in bp and because the blood vessels narrow making the resistace increase making it harder for the blood to flow through
how would an increase in heart rate affect blood pressure
increase in bp because it pumps more blood per min
how would a decrease in blood volume affect blood pressure
decrease in bp
how would increased radius of a vessel affect blood preassure
radius increases bp as it increases
systolic pressure
pressure on the artrrial walls as the ventricles contract, (120 mmHg)
diastolic presure
pressure on arterial walls when ventricles are relaxed, lowest pressure, (80 mmHg).
pulse pressure, where is it highest and lowest?
The additional pressure placed on the arteries from when the heart is resting to when it is contracting, is Highest in the arteries closest to the heart, lowest in the lower extremities. (systolic-diastolic)
Explain how capillary bp differs on the arterial end vs the venous end
arterial - filtration (+10 mmHg)
mid capilarry- no movement (0 mmHG)
venous- reabsorption (-7 mmHg)
What mechanisms are in place to assist blood flow through the venous circulation, and how do they work
venous valves, one way valves that prevent blood flowing backwards
What do baroreceptors and chemoreceptors detect in the blood?
baroreceptors monitor blood pressure
chemoreceptors detect changes in blood composition (CO2, pH, O2)
Formed elements in blood
red blood cells
white blood cells-
platelets-
what are erythrocytes
red blood cells and they transport O2 and CO2
What are leukocytes
white blood cells/ defend agains harmful substances
what are thrombocytes
platelets, responsible for blood clotting
formed elements in plasma
water, plasma proteins, molecules and ions
plasma proteins
prevent loss of fluid from the blood
contents of erythroctyes
bioconcave structure, no nuclei or organellesha
what is hemoglobin
a red pigmented protein adapted to carry O2 and CO2
What is hemopoiesis, + where does it occur
production of blood cells and it occurs in red bone marrow.
what event/situation would trigger erythropoiesis and explain what happens
Erythropoiesis is the production of red blood cells, which begins with hematopoietic cells and is stimulated by hormones into erythropoiesis, which increases when there is a state of hypoxia.
