cvp exam 2 Flashcards
(228 cards)
what has a main function of delivering adequate oxygen, nutrients to the systemic tissues and remove carbon dioxide and other waste products of the system tissues
systemic circulation
what serves as the conduit for transport of hormones, and other substances and allows these substances to potentially act at a distant site from their production
systemic circulation
what is designed to carry blood under high pressure out to the tissue beds
systemic arteries
what acts as control valves to regulate local flow
arterioles and pre capillary sphincters
what allows the exchange between tissue(cells) and blood
capillaries
how thick are capillaries
one cell layer
what collects blood from capillaries
venules
what returns blood to the heart/dynamic storage
systemic veins
what is blood flow proportional to
metabolic demand
what is cardiac output controlled by
local tissue flow
what is arterial pressure control independent of
local flow or cardiac output
what are the 4 components of vessles
endothelium, elastic tissue, smooth muscle, and fibrous tissue
one layer of what exists in all vessels
endothelium
what vessel has a high amount of elastic tissue a moderate amount of fibrous tissue and low amount of smooth muscle
aorta
what type of vessel has a high amount of smooth muscle a moderate amount of elastic tissue and a low amount of fibrous tissue
a typical artery
what type of vessel has equal parts elastic tissue, smooth muscle and fibrous tissue
a vein
what is a capillary composed of
only endothelium
what does the equation V = IR represent
ohm’s law
what is analogous to ohm’s law (V=IR)
⌂P = QR
flow(Q) is directly proportional to
⌂P
flow(Q) is inversely proportional to
Resistance (R)
what is the volume of blood that passes a certain point per unit time referred to as
flow (Q)
what is the equation used to determine flow
Q=⌂P/R
at a given Q the greater the drop in P in a segment or compartment the greater the
resistance to flow
