(Heart: Preload, Contractility and Afterload)
Preload (Blood filling Heart from Veins)?
Passive stretching of muscle fibers in ventricles. This stretching results from blood volume in ventricles at end of diastole. The more the heart muscles stretch during diastole, the more forcefully they contract during systole
(Heart: Preload, Contractility and Afterload)
Contractility (Force of Heart)?
Refers to the inherent ability of myocardium to contract normally. Contractility is influenced by preload. The greater the stretch the more forceful the contraction
(Heart: Preload, Contractility and Afterload)
Afterload (Resistance)?
Refers to pressure that the ventricular muscles must generate to overcome higher pressure the aorta to get blood out of Heart
(Mechanisms for Controlling Blood Pressure)
Arterial BP is regulated within a narrow range?
(120/80) To perfusion of the tissues without damaging to the vascular system (want 120/80 to oxygen tissue and not rupture BV)
(Mechanisms for Controlling Blood Pressure)
Arterial BP is directly proportional to?
Cardiac Output and Peripheral Vascular Resistance
(Mechanisms for Controlling Blood Pressure)
Cardiac Output and Peripheral Resistance are controlled mainly by?
2 Overlapping Mechanisms:
-Baroreflexes (Sympathetic Nervous System)
-Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System (RAAS)
(Mechanisms for Controlling Blood Pressure)
Most Antihypertensive Drugs reducing?
Cardiac Output and/or Decreasing Peripheral Resistance
Baroreceptors?
(Fast)
-Activate SNS
Renin?
(Slow)
-Fluid Retention
(Baroreceptors RAAS)
(Decrease in BP)
Rapidly?
Increase Sympathetic Activity via Baroreceptors –> Activate A1 (increase Ven return and Resistance) and B1 (increase contractility, increase CO, release Renin) –> increase BP
(Baroreceptors RAAS)
(Decrease in BP)
Long Term?
Decrease in renal blood flow –> release Renin –> increase Angiotensin 2 –> increase Aldosterone –> increase water/Na retention –> increase blood volume –> increase CO –> increase BP
(Baroreceptors RAAS)
2 Ways to Release Renin?
-B1
-Low renal BF
(Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System)
Angiotensinogen?
Liver
(Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System)
Renin?
Kidney
(Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System)
ACE?
Lungs
(Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System)
Angiotensinogen –(Renin)–> ?
ANG1 –ACE–> ANG2 (increase sympathetic, tub reabsorption, aldosterone and ADH increase) ALL leads to increase BP
(Cardiac myocyte contraction and relaxation)
Sympathetic Activation –> ?
Release NE –> binds to B1 rec. –> Gs increases cAMP –> increase Pka –> increase CA release extracellular –> intracellular Ca release from SR –> binds to troponin –> actin can bind to myosin –> contraction
(Vascular Smooth Muscle (VSM) Contraction and Relaxation)
Contraction in VSM can be initiated by?
Mechanical, Electrical and Chemical stimuli
(Vascular Smooth Muscle (VSM) Contraction and Relaxation)
Passive stretching of VSM can cause?
Contraction termed a myogenic response
(Vascular Smooth Muscle (VSM) Contraction and Relaxation)
Electrical depolarization of VSM by?
Opening voltage dependent Ca+ channels, causing an increase in intracellular concentration of calcium
(Vascular Smooth Muscle (VSM) Contraction and Relaxation)
A number of chemical stimuli such as Norepinephrine, Angiotensin II, Vasopressin, Endothelium-1, and Thormboxane A2 can cause?
Contraction
(Vascular Smooth Muscle (VSM) Contraction and Relaxation)
Stretch, Depolarization, or Chemical can cause?
Vascular Constriction
(Vascular Smooth Muscle (VSM) Contraction and Relaxation)
Contraction?
An increase in free intracellular Ca+ (through Ca+ channels or by release from internal stores (SR))
(Vascular Smooth Muscle (VSM) Contraction and Relaxation)
(Contraction)
Free Ca+ binds to?
Calmodulin (CM). Calcium-calmodulin activates myosin light chain kinase (MLCK), an enzyme that phosphorylates myosin light chains (MLC) in the presence of ATP
