Identify and discuss the factors that contribute to systemic vascular resistance.

1) Blood viscosity is dependent on the ratio of formed elements and proteins to plasma. In general, increased viscosity, via increased formed elements or decreasing plasma volume, increases resistance. 2) Total blood vessel length is directly proportional to resistance; thus, increasing length of circuit (by adding new blood vessels to serve added tissue) increases resistance. 3) Diameter/radius of blood vessels, which is primarily controlled by ANS, has a major effect on resistance. Increased vessel diameter decreases resistance, thus increasing flow. In general, changes in the diameter of small vessels (e.g. arterioles) have greater effect because more surface area is in contact with blood.

Describe the vessel wall characteristics of the five main types of blood vessels that blood travels through from the time it leaves the left ventricle until it returns to the right atrium.

Blood is carried away from the heart in arteries. All arteries have an outer tunica externa (mostly elastic and collagen fibers), an inner tunica media (mostly smooth muscle and elastic fibers) and a lining called the tunica interna (endothelial tissue). Large diameter arteries have more elastic fibers than smooth muscle in their walls and conduct blood to regions of the body, e.g. the subclavian artery carries blood toward the upper extremity. As arteries enter a body region, they branch and their diameters decrease. Their walls have proportionately more smooth muscle than elastic tissue. These arteries are called muscular or distributing arteries, e.g. the radial artery. Branching of the blood vessels continues until the vessels are nearly microscopic arterioles. Arterioles have little elastic tissue, but can change diameter quickly because of the smooth muscle in their wall. Thus, they are the major sites of regulation of blood pressure and distribution. Arterioles feed into capillary beds. Capillaries are the sites of exchange between the tissues and the blood. Venules drain the capillaries and begin the path back to the heart. Venules merge to form veins (and ultimately, vena cava) that carry the blood to the heart. Veins have much less smooth muscle than arteries. Vein also have valves that help prevent backflow of blood.

In a freak accident, an overheated and dehydrated roofer falls off the roof and onto a mirror that is being brought into a construction site. The mirror breaks and cuts several blood vessels, including the femoral artery. What will happen to the roofer’s NFP in his capillary beds? Why?

: If the roofer overheated, he probably had already lost a significant volume of body fluid through perspiration as his body tried to cool off. That loss would account for the dehydration. Loss of fluid without significant loss of solutes causes the blood colloidal osmotic pressure (BCOP) to increase. The cuts the roofer suffered would cause hemorrhaging and a loss of blood hydrostatic pressure (BHP). If the BHP goes down and the BCOP goes up, the net filtration pressure (NFP) should decrease because NFP = (BHP + IFOP) – BCOP. [IFOP is the interstitial fluid osmotic pressure, which is so much smaller than the BHP or BCOP that it usually doesn’t change NFP.]

Describe the route of an RBC traveling from the heart to the left elbow and back to the heart.

From the heart, the RBC will enter the ascending aorta and then the aortic arch. The RBC will exit the aorta through the left subclavian artery, continue on that route through the axillary artery and into the brachial artery. At the elbow, the blood cell will exit into one of the small distributing arteries, move into a capillary bed, and then into venules in the elbow region. The RBC will then probably enter the median cubital vein and move into either the basilic or the cephalic vein. The basilic vein drains into the brachial vein, which drains into the axillary vein. The cephalic vein drains directly into the axillary vein. From axillary vein, the RBC will travel into the subclavian and brachiocephalic veins before entering the superior vena cava. The SVC will take the RBC back to the heart.

c) blood colloid osmotic pressure.

Which of the following would NOT occur in response to hypovolemic shock? a) Activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone (RAA) system. b) Secretion of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) c) Activation of the sympathetic division of the ANS. d) Release of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP). e) Release of local vasodilators.

d) Release of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP).

Which of the following categories would an individual with a blood pressure of 145/95 be placed in? a) Normal b) High normal c) Prehypertension d) Stage 1 hypertension e) Stage 2 hypertension

d) Stage 1 hypertension

All the veins of the systemic circulation eventually drain into the a) superior vena cava. b) inferior vena cava. c) coronary sinus. d) superior and inferior vena cava. e) superior and inferior vena cava and coronary sinus.

e) superior and inferior vena cava and coronary sinus.

The right radial and ulnar arteries are branches of the a. right vertebral artery b. right subclavian artery c. right axillary artery d. right brachial artery

d. right brachial artery

Which of the following vessels is a pulse point found at the wrist? a) Radial artery b) Subclavian artery c) Axillary artery d) Cephalic artery e) Palmar artery

a) Radial artery

What do following arteries have in common: superficial temporal artery, brachial artery and common carotid artery? a) They are all areas where Korotkoff sounds cannot be heard. b) They are all only found on the left side of the body. c) They are all common pulse points. d) They all contain baroreceptors. e) They all deliver blood to structures in the head.

c) They are all common pulse points.

The basilar artery is formed by the union of the _____ arteries a. posterior cerebral b. anterior and middle cerebral c. posterior communicating and posterior cerebral d. vertebral

d. vertebral

What is the main difference between the pulmonary and systemic circulations with respect to their autoregulatory response to changes in blood O2 level?

In systemic circulation, low O2 causes dilation of the blood vessel walls. This will lead to increase in O2 delivery to tissues. In pulmonary circulation, the opposite occurs in response to low levels of O2. The pulmonary vessels constrict to ensure blood only goes to those alveoli that are receiving rich O2 supply and avoids poorly ventilated sacs.

The most important blood reservoirs are the a. veins in the thorax region b. arteries in the legs c. capillary networks throughout the body d. veins of the abdominal organs

d. veins of the abdominal organs

Which of the following structures are found in veins but NOT in arteries? a) tunica externa b) tunica media c) tunica interna d) valve e) lumen

d) valve

Elastic arteries can withstand the pressure of blood at ventricular systole because a. they are lined by a thick endothelium that absorbs the pressure b. arteries have a larger lumen than veins, thus peripheral resistance is lower in arteries c. elastic fibers allow the artery to expand with the pressure, then return to original size and shape d. blood volume is very low in arteries, so the pressure at systole is minimal

c. elastic fibers allow the artery to expand with the pressure, then return to original size and shape
