Q

How is blood pressure maintained?

A

Blood pressure is lower than in arteries, large diameter lumens offer resistance, venous valves prevent backflow, Skeletal Muscles help blood flow through veins, and pulsing of nearby arteries

Q

What are the 3 sources of blood flow resistance?

A

Blood viscosity- higher viscosity= more resistance
Total blood vessel length- longer= more resistance
Blood vessel diameter- thinner= more resistance, the greatest impact on resistance,

Q

Blood flow proportional?

A

Blood flow (F) is directly proportional to blood pressure gradient (P), as P increases blood flow speed up
Blood flow inversely proportional to peripheral resistance (R) F= DeltaP/ R

25
Change in pressure...
drives blood flow, resistance opposes flow
26
As we move through the circulatory system...
Mean pressure falls
27
2 factors that regulate blood pressure in arteries
The elasticity of arteries close to the heart The volume of blood forced into them at any time
28
Normal blood pressure?
Systolic pressure is normally less than 120 mm Hg, and Diastolic pressure is normally less than 80 mm Hg
29
Regulation of blood pressure in capillaries?
Ranges from 35 mm Hg to 17 mm Hg, low pressure is desirable because high BP ruptures capillaries
30
Regulation of BP in veins?
Small pressure gradient ( 15 mm Hg), low pressure due to effects of peripheral resistance, low pressure of venous side requires adaptations to help with venous return
31
4 factors that promote blood flow?
Skeletal muscle, repiratory system, smooth muscle, valves
32
3 factors to regulate blood pressure?
CO, PR, blood volume
33
Short term reg: neural control
Control BP by regulating resistance/ CO MAP maintained by altering BV diamteter Vasometer center sends impulses via. sympathetic to BV (causes vasometer tone) Barorecptors give negative input, decreases BP Chemoreceptors check for drop in O2 or increase in Co2, send signals to get blood to lungs Regulated by brain centers (medulla, cerebral cortex, hypothalamus)
34
Short-term reg: hormonal control
Epinephrine/ norepinephrine increase CO and vasoconstriction, ADH and Angiotensin 2 stimulate vasoconstriction, ANP decreases BP and generlized vasodilation
35
Long term reg: hormonal/ renal control
Nor(epinephrine) increases heart contractility. via. Cyclic AMP second messanger
36
Direct hormonal mechanism in kidney?
Alters BV independently of hormones, increased BP/BV causes elim. of urine (BP lower) decreased BP/BV causes kidneys to conserve water (BP rises)
37
Indirect mechanism in kidneys?
Renin released from renals, turns angiotensinogen to angiotensinogen I, angiotensinogen I converts to angiotensinogen II , which stiumlates ADH secretion, increasing BP
38
Hypertension vs Hypotension
Elevated arterial BP higher than 140/90 Low BP below 90/60
39
4 steps of tissue perfusion?
Delivery of O2/ nutrients to, removal of wastes, tissue cells Gas exchange in lungs Apsorption of nutrients in digestive tract Urine formation in kidneys
40
Rate of flow is...
precisely regulated to provide proper function to a given tissue or organ
41
Tissue perfusion controlled...
extrinsically (whole body) and intrinsically (local)
42
Metabolic intrinsic controls?
Declining levels of O2, increasing metabolic products, Cause relaxation of arterioles and precapillary sphincters Cause release of NO (balanced by endothelins), powerful vasodilator
43
Myogenic intrinsic controls?
Local vascular smooth muscle responds to changes in MAP to keep perfusion constant Increased stretch: smooth muscle constricts, decreased blood flow Reduced stretch: smooth muscle dilates, increased blood flow to tissue
44
Capillary exchange speed?
speed in inversely related to total # of cross sections, Slow capillary flow allows time for exchange between blood and tissues
45
What is capillary exchange?
Transport of gasses and soltues from blood to interstitual fluid
46
4 methods of capillary exchange
Diffuse directly through endothelial membranes Pass through clefts Pass through fenestrations Active transport via. Pinocytotic vesicles
47
What is bulk fluid flow?
Fluid forced out clefts of capillaries at arterial end, most returns to blood at venous end Bulk filud flow across capillary wals causes mixing between plasma/interstitial
48
Hydrostatic vs Osmotic pressure
Hydrostatic pressure- force of liquid on vessel wall Colloid osmotic pressures- sucking pressure generate by non-diffusable proteins in vessels
49
What is net filtration pressure?
Forces acting on capillary bed Flow out at arterial end (filtration) Flow in at venous end (reabsorption)
50
What is the lymphatic system?
Returns insertional fluid and plasma back to blood through a network of drainage vessels (lymphatics), the base of the immune system
51
What is a lymph/ Lymph node?
Lymph- fluid in the vessel Lymph node-cleanse lymph
52
Lymphatic capillaries?
One way (towards heart), similar to blood capillaries but more permeable due to overlapping endothelial cells (minivalves) which increase ECF volume when open
53
Where do they drain into?
Collecting lympatic vessels, trunks, ducts (similar structure to veins with more vavles and thinner walls)
54
Lymphangitis vs. Lympehdema
Lymphangitis: Inflammation of lymphatic vessels, become congested with blood and appear as red lines under skin Lympehdema: Severe localized edema, caused by anything that prevents return of lymph to blood.
55
How is lymph propelled?
Low pressure system. milking action of skeletal muscle. pressure change, pulsation
56
Ducts drain into where?
Right lymphatic duct drains right upper arm, side of the head, thorax The thoracic duct drains the rest of the body
57
Lymphoctyes?
T and B cells, protect against antigens, manage immune response, produce antibodies
58
Macrophage and dendritic cells?
Activate T cells, capture antigens, phagotize substances
59
What is lymphoid tissue?
Proliferation site for lymphocytes Body organ: diffuse lymphoid tissue, loose arrangemnt of lymphoid cells and reticular fibers Nodules: follicles, tight arrangment of lymphoid cells and retucylar fibers
60
Primary vs. secondary lymphoid organs?
Primary- where T and B cells mature (red bone marrow, thymus) Secondary- where mature lymphocytes encounter antigen
61
lymph nodes in detail?
Cleanse lymph and act as filters, activate immune system (lymphocytes attact antigens) Secondary lymphoid organs of the body with hundreds of nodes
62
Structure of lymph nodes?
Cortec- B and T cells Medulla- B/Plasma and T cells Sinuses- Macrophages
63
What are buboes?
inflamed lymph nodes that result when nodes are overwhelmed by what they are trying to destry
64
What is the spleen?
blood rich organ, site of lymphocyte proliferation and immune serveilance
65
3 functions of spleen?
Stores breakdown products of RBC, store blood platlets and monocytes, may be site of fetal erythrocyte production
66
What is MALT?
Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue, protects body from pathogens (found in mucosa of repiratory tract, tonsils, appendix, etc)
67
What are tonsils?
Ring of lymphatic tissue around pharynx, bacetria enter crypts and are destroyed
68
What is Peyers Patch
Lymphoid follicles in wall of large intestine, destroy bacteria and generate memory lymphocytes
69
Appendix?
Offshoot of large intestine, destroy bacteria and generate memory lymphocytes
70
