Q

why not just give all the blood flw all they might ever need?

heart can’t keep up with that, so it jsut gives tissues what they need

Q

vasodilator theory

A

when the cell is using up oxygen it releases substances like adenosine, CO2, lactic acid ,postassium ions, histamine, and the local substances diffuse back to the arterioles and dilate them, the dilation causes increase in blood flow to the tissue that is releasing the chemicals

Q

oxygen demand theory, how do we know its a thing

A

you can block all of the mediators from going out and you still have local control, so will still have increased blod flow

25
describe oxygen demand theory
when oxygen is high precapillary sphincters contract and blood won't go through where there is high oxygen. if oxygen is low the precapilary sphincter sense low oxygen and open up and blood goes through the area and brings oxygen to it
26
reality, what theory is it?
combination of both theories
27
the way we increase blood flow the two theories: oxygen demand & vasodilator theory are independent of
nerves
28
all the capilaries arent always
open
29
the oxygen demand and vasodilatory theory are more powerful than
nerve control
30
active hyperemia
increased blood flow, occurs when tissue metabolic rate increases
31
reactive hyperemia
Occurs after the Tissue Blood Supply Is Blocked for a Short Time
32
look at graphs on pg 11
11
33
if you occlude artery going to muscle, then you release occulsion, describe what happens to blood flow
blood flwo goes higher than normal to resupply and then iwill come back down
34
the longer you occlude an artery the higher the
reactive hyperemia is
35
autoregulation, what is it
if you increase the pressure gradient to a tissue the flow goes up to that tissue but then blood flow will go back down, so the tissue is autoregulating its own blood flow maintainign a constant bloodf low to a tissue regardless of arterial pressure
36
all tissues have
autoregulation
37
what two mechanisms are involved in autoregulation
metabolic & myogenic mechanism
38
metabolic theory
when you increase blood flow it will wash away the stuff (like adenosine) that caused the increase in blood flow, causing it gto go back down
39
myogenic theory
just property f blood vessels Based on fact that sudden stretch of small blood vessels and arterioles will cause smooth muscle cells of vessel to contract (they don't really understand why)
40
review graph pg 13

41
factors released from endothelial cells of blood vessels help control
blood flow
42
two important things released from endothelial cells in blodo vessels
nitric oxide | endothelin
43
nitric oxide synthase does what
converts arginine into gas: nitric oxide
44
nitric oxide is a gas and is diffusible, it can do what
go wherever, can go into smooth muscles
45
NO does what
stimulates guanylate cyclase which converts cGTP to cGMP which causes relaxation
46
NO is a (generally)
vasodilator
47
what is one thing that causes blood to release NO
shear stress
48
when is endothelin released frm blood cells
when there is damaged endothelium
49
endothelin causes
vasoconstriction
50
long term control changes what about blood vessels
number r size
51
angiogenesis:
growth of new blood vessels
52
angiogenesis occurs in respnse to angiogenic factors released from:
ischemic tissue rapidly growing tissue tissue with high metabolic rate (like cancer)
53
when heart hypertrophies, what long term effects happen
angigenesis - more blood vessels occur but they don't increase in size
54
Collateral Circulation:
development of small channels around some particular block
55
how long dos Collateral Circulation take
a long time
56
if a blood vessel is blocked, what will grow to help
Collateral Circulation
57
BY THE TIME SOMEONE IS 60 OR 70 have a lot of
microchannels in heart
58
whahow does Collateral Circulation work
Dilation of vascular loops that already connect a vessel above and below the block.
59
why wuld it cause more damage for young person to have MI than an old
b/c old ppl have more collateral circulation, young people haven't had the time the develop the collateral circulation
60
if you plant vein into arterial system what happens
it will hypertrophy to be able to withstand the new high pressure
61
blood vessels themselves can change depending on
what situation they are in
62
AV fistula
connect artery and vein, like pts undergoing dilaysis with renal failure
63
what happens to artery in AV fistula
gets bigger b/c its not in as much pressure
64
what happens to vein in AV fistula
vein gets bigger also
65
name three humora vasoconstrictors
Norepinephrine Angiotensin II Vasopressin
66
name two vasodilator humroal
Histamine | Nitric oxide
67
NE activate what in blood vessels
alpha 2 and alpha 2 reeptors and beta 1 in heart
68
NE activates alpha 1 and alpha2 and causes
vasoconstriction
69
EPI activates
alpha 1, alpha 2, beta 1, beta 2
70
EPI in blood vessels activates alpha 1 and alpha 2 and causes
vasoconstriction
71
EPI acting on Beta 2 causes
vasodilation
72
in kidney blood vessels only have what receptors
alpha1 and alpha 2
73
epi and NE in kidney what do you see
constriction
74
blood vessels in skeletal muscle have what receptors
alpha 1, alpha 2, beta2 receptors
75
infuse NE into skeletal muscle what happens
vasoconstriction
76
infuse EPI into sekeletal muscle what happens
vasodilation, because of the beta 2 receptor
77
dog infused with EPI vs NE which will have highest blood rpessure
the one with NE
78
Angiotensin II is pathway what inhibitors work on
ACE
79
Angiotensin is released in response to what enzyme
REnin
80
anytime there is fall in BP kidneys release
renin
81
draw angiotensin II pathway
pg 22
82
what does Angiotensin II do
constricts arterioles in body
83
what does Angiotensin II do to kidney
releases aldosterone and increases sodium reabosption
84
if you gave ACE inhibitor what would it do
blocks angiotensin II from being prduced, so high levels of angiotensin I, less constriction of bloodv essels, decreased sodium reabsorption
85
when might renin be released in kidney
hemorrhage
86
vasopressin is also known as
antidiuretic hormone
87
vasopressin is peptide produced where
hypothalamus
88
where is vasopressin released from
posterior pituitary
89
vasopressin is released in response to:
1. Decrease in arterial pressure | 2. Increase in plasma osmolarity
90
alcohol inhibits the release of
vasopressin
91
what does vasopresin do
Potent vasoconstrictor Increases renal reabsorption of water - Concentrated urine
92
histamine is a vaso:
dilator
93
histmaine is released from what cells
mast cells
94
histamine does what to capillary
increases its permeability
95
histamine is very powerful
vasodilator
96
histimen increasing capillary permeability, what is example he used
bee sting, it gets red and swolen
97
antihistamine is taken to block the effects of
histamine
98
Bradykinin is an _____ mediator
inflammatory
99
when is Bradykinin released
tissue damage
100
Bradykinin is very similar to
histamine
101
Bradykinin causes arterial
dilation
102
bradykinin does what to capillary
increases its permeability
103
what breaks Bradykinin to inactive fragments
kininase II or angiotensin converting enzyme
104
inhibition of angiotensin converting enzyme decreases production of angiotensin II but allows what to stay around longer
bradykinin
105
