A&P11-Class Notes Pg 23 Blood Pressure

        Help!  

Question
Answer
Systolic (in BV ch on BP) refers to   when you contract  
🗑
diastolic (in BV sh on BP)refers to   resumption of normal flow  
🗑
blood flows thru a system of:   closed channels  
🗑
Blood always flows from regions of higher:   pressure to lower pressure  
🗑
Mean (avg) pressure in aorta is about:   100 mm Hg  
🗑
Pressure from aorta continually   decreases rapidly thru the arterial sys & more slowly thru the venous sys  
🗑
Normal BP is   120 over 80 ....  
🗑
Blood flows from aorta to:   arteries to arterioles  
🗑
cont'd blood flow: arterioles to:   capillaries to venules  
🗑
cont'd blood flow: venules to veins to:   the vena cava to the R, atrium  
🗑
Blood pressure is the pressure exerted by blood:   on the wall on any BV  
🗑
clinical sense:systolic =   pressure during ventricular systole when B is moving into the arteries  
🗑
Clinical sense: diastolic =   pressure of B in arteries after ventricular systole  
🗑
Homeostatic mechanisms regulate cardio vascular activity to ensure:   that tissue B flow (tissue perfusion) feets the demand for oxygen and nutrientsbl  
🗑
3 variables of homeostatic mechanisms are:   cardiac output, blood volumn, peripheral resistance  
🗑
Cardiac output is   amt of B ejected by the L ventricle every minute  
🗑
Blood Volumn is:   nORMAL VOLUMN IS 5 LITERS  
🗑
a +or - in B volumn will:   affect pressure  
🗑
Peripheral Resistance is resistance to B flow by the force of friction bet:   blood & the walls of the vessel it is traveling thru  
🗑
Cardiovascular Control Mechanisms: 3   Autoregulation, Central Mechanisms, and Endocrine Factors  
🗑
Which of the 3 is lst:   autoregulation is Local Controls is is 1st response  
🗑
Autoregulation is:   an automatic local adjustment of Blood flow in a perticular part of body.  
🗑
in autoregulation cells respond to local changes (ie low oxygen levels) by releasing:   vasodilator substances or vasoconstrictor substances  
🗑
examples of vasodilator substances are:   potassium ions, lactic acid & carbon dioxide  
🗑
examples of vaso constrictor substances are:   prostaglandins and endothelins released by damaged endothelial cells  
🗑
if Cardio autoregulation at the local leval fails then:   activation of control mechanisms II or III will occur  
🗑
Cardio control mechanism II is:   Central Mechanism (neural controls) the electrical system  
🗑
Central mechanisms include 4 types:   Higher Brain Centers, Vasomotor center, Baroreceptors and Chemoreceptors  
🗑
In higher brain centers typa, the cerebral cortex and hypothalamus regulate BP by:   sending impulses to the vasomotor center during times of stress, anger, ets. This results in vaso constriction and hence, increased BP.  
🗑
Vasomotor Center consists of a culster of:   sympathetic neurons in the medulla oblongata. It controls BV diameter by providing vaso constriction & vaso dilation regulation.  
🗑
The vasomotor center sends inpulses to the vasomotor fibers which:   are efferent fibers of the SNS located in smooth muscles of BV walls. When stimulated they produce norepinephrine.  
🗑
peptide   a protein fragment  
🗑
NO is a   gas  
🗑
norepinephrine in turn regulates smooth muscles in BV's:   to provide vasoconstriction  
🗑
ACh stimulates the release of NO by:   endothelial cells in the area in question.  
🗑
The release of NO gas relaxes   muscle cells, thereby causing vasodilation  
🗑
The resistance of a maximally constricted arteriole is:   80 times that of a fully dilated arteriole  
🗑
Baroreceptors =   sinus stretch  
🗑
Baroreceptors are specialized receptors:   mechano receptors or presso receptors that monitor the degree of stretch in the walls of expandable organs. r  
🗑
Examples of baroreceptors:   aortic sinuses (provide aortic reflex) in pockets in the wall of the ascending aorta AND carotid sinus near the base of the internal carotid arteries of the neck  
🗑
Chemoreceptors are:   chemical body receptors  
🗑
Chemoreceptors are sensory neurons that are sensitive to:   chemicals in the blood.  
🗑
chemoreceptors are named:   carotid body and the aortic body  
🗑
The carotid body is located at the   bifurcation of the common carotid arteries  
🗑
The aortic body is located in the   aortic arch  
🗑
chemo receptors are sensitive to blood levels of :   oxygen, carbon dioxide and hydrogen ions.  
🗑
chemoreceptors are sensory neurons that:   help regulate the respiratory rate  
🗑
The 3rd control mechanism is the:   Endocrine System  
🗑
The Endocrine system is:   A chemical System, local or central  
🗑
Hormones are:   chemical regulators produced by specialized endocrine glands as well as other cells and body tissues  
🗑
Example: ANP, a hormone produced by:   the heart, not by a regular endocrine gland  
🗑
The hormone producing cells/tissues/organs of the body provide:   chemical regulation  
🗑
Hormones Associated with the cardio sytem incl: 5   Antidiuretic hormone (ADH), Angiotensin II, Erythropoetin (EPO), Atrial Natriuretic Peptide (ANP or ANF), Endothelium-derived factors (EDF),  
🗑
Antidiuretic Hormone -ADH:   long term regulation of B pressure & volumn.  
🗑
ADH is released from the posterior:   pituitary & stimulates water conservation in the kidneys. Thus B volumn is conserved  
🗑
Angiotensin II is for long-term regulation:   long-term regulation of blood pressure and blood volumn.  
🗑
Angiotensin II is a powerful   vasoconstrictor & it appears in blood following the release of renin from kidney cells (renin-angiotensin pathway)  
🗑
Erythropoetion EPO for long term regulation of B pressure & volumn. It is released   from kidneys to stimulate RBC formation if/when oxygen levels fall to low.  
🗑
Atrial Natriuretic Peptide (ANP or ANF)   Provides long term regulation of Blood pressure and blood volumn  
🗑
ANP also encourages fluid:   loss, reduces blood pressure & blood volumn, inhibits thrist and lowers peripheral resistance  
🗑
Endothelium-derived Factor EDF-   assist w/ local blood flow  
🗑
EDF is a group of chemical that are:   produced by endothelial cells  
🗑
EDF s act as either   vaso constrictors or vasodilators  
🗑
Examples of EDF's include:   PDGF (prostaglandin-derived growth factor, NO (nitric oxide, a vasodilator) nad endothelin (a vasoconstrictor)  
🗑
