Q

Baroreceptor/MAP pathway:

A
  1. Increased MAP
  2. Causes increased baroreceptor firing
  3. Stimulate medulla via afferent neurons
  4. Causes decreased sympathetic output (& increased parasympathetic)
  5. Decreases norepinephrine release from adrenal medulla
  6. Which causes 3 things:
    a. Vasodilation of arteriolar smooth muscle
    a1. Which decreases peripheral resistance
    b. Decreases force of contraction in ventricular myocardium
    b1. Which decreases CO

Q

What homeostatic response happens to decreased blood pressure

Study These Flashcards
A
  1. Increased heart rate
  2. Increased stroke volume
  3. Vasoconstriction
22
Q

Balance of what influences blood volume and pressure

Study These Flashcards
A

Salt and water intake/output

23
Q

What role do chemoreceptors play

Study These Flashcards
A

Detect changes in partial pressures of O2, (Po2), CO2, (Pco2) as these can affect heart rate

24
Q

Where are chemoreceptors located

Study These Flashcards
A

Aorta & Carotid artery

25
What homeostatic response happens to low Pco2, high Po2, and high pH
1. Heart rate decreases 2. Stroke volume decreases 3. Respiration rate decreases
26
What homeostatic response happens to high Pco2, low Po2, and low pH
1. Heart rate increases 2. Stroke volume increases 3. Respiration rate increases
27
Cardiac output & Total peripheral resistance both affect what
Blood pressure
28
What is TPR?
Total Peripheral Resistance
29
What regulates total peripheral resistance
Constriction & dilation of arterioles
30
When you adjust TPR, what is adjusted in conjunction
Cardiac output (inversely proportional)
31
Do different tissues have the same metabolic needs
No, different tissues each have different metabolic needs
32
Rank tissue metabolic needs from highest to lowest
1. Heart 2. Kidney 3. Brain 4. Liver 5. Muscle, fat, other organs
33
Do different tissues have the same metabolic needs
No, different tissues each have different metabolic needs
34
Rank tissue metabolic needs from highest to lowest
1. Heart 2. Kidney 3. Brain 4. Liver 5. Muscle, fat, other organs
35
What types of regulation do capillaries and flow through them undergo
Neuronal & Hormonal
36
Based on physiological demand what do capillaries do
Open & close
37
What are the two mechanisms that control flow through capillaries
1. Contraction/relaxation of tunica media layer in the arteriole wall 2. Precapillary sphincters
38
What are precapillary sphincters
Rings of smooth muscle that control the blood flow between arterioles and venules
39
Where are precapillary sphincters located
At the entrance of capillary beds
40
Some blood flows directly from arterioles to venules by
bypassing the capillary bed
41
Local control of blood flow is done by
Tissue metabolites affecting smooth muscle contraction and blood flow
42
Types of capillaries
1. Continuous capillary (no pores) 2. Fenestrated capillary (with pores) 3. Sinusoidal capillary (mixture of both)
43
What enhances delivery of material across the capillary wall
Slow rate of blood flow & thin walls
44
3 ways material is delivered across the capillary wall
1. Simple diffusion 2. Endocytosis and exocytosis (Transcytosis) 3. Paracellular pathway
45
What is the paracellular pathway
Hydrostatic pressure solutes and water across capillary walls through the gaps between adjacent endothelial cells. The size of the solutes moving across depends on the size of the gap
46
What is transcytosis
Can be either endocytosis or exocytosis through endothelial cells
47
Structure of lymphatic system:
- Comes from both pulmonary & systemic circuit capillaries. - Contains lymph nodes & valves - Pumps back into the inferior vena cava
48
What are lymphatic capillaries
Closed-ended tubules that form vast networks in intercellular spaces
49
What is lymph
Fluid that enters the lymphatic capillaries
50
Pathway of lymph:
Lymph capillaries-->Lymph ducts-->Lymph nodes-->Filtration-->Veins
51
3 functions of the lymphatic system:
1. Transports interstitial (tissue) fluid back to the blood 2. Transports absorbed fat from small intestine to the blood 3. Helps provide immunological defenses against pathogens
