| DVT | deep vein thrombosis; blood clots develop in deep veins (usually leg) from inability to milk blood back to heart |
| mean BP equation | BP=Pd+1/3(Sys-Dia) |

| effects of increased CO2 on CSF pH and then on cerebral flow | more CO2 → lower CSF pH → higher cerebral blood flow |
| what happens to cerebral blood flow as arterial pressure increases | increases at first and then flattens due to auto regulation by sympathetics |
| what happens to cerebral blood flow as cerebral spinal fluid pressure increases | remains constant until the CSF pressure shuts the arteries and CBF pressure drops |

| normal splanchnic flow during rest | 1000-1500 ml/min |
| what happens to splanchnic blood flow when arterial pressure rises? Why? | splanchnic pressure rises because the stretch receptors inhibit the VMC, so the resistance stays low, increasing splanchnic pressure |
| O2, CO2, and pH must move in which way to give positive feedback to the VMC | O2 decreases, CO2 increases, pH decreases |
| splanchnic blood flow decreases from what changes in BP, central blood volume, and VO2 max | decreased blood pressure, decreased central blood volume, increased exercies |
