| How do you treat hypertension in the elderly? | Ca2+ channel Blockers |
| Why do the liver & kidneys have resistance of vessels in series? | They detoxify blood so you want blood to move slowly. Even though the velocity of the downstream blood is increased, there is a backup of blood so blood flow decreases and blood spends more time being detoxified. |

| What is the function of the Carotid Body? Carotid Sinus? | Carotid Body is a chemoreceptor; Carotid Sinus is a baroreceptor that measure stroke volume |
| What is the pathway of signals from the carotid sinus? | Carotid sinus measures stroke volume; Sends signal to Nucleus tractus Solitarius in the Medulla via CN IX; The Medulla then sends a signal to the heart via CN X; Medulla causes increased release of NE |
| How does the carotid sinus affect firing of CN IX and CN X? | Cranial Nerves IX and X are always firing; Firing goes up/down along with Stroke Volume; NE goes in the opposite direction; Increased Stroke Volume causes increased firing of IX and X; decreased Stroke Volume causes decreased firing of IX and X |
| What effect does CN X have on the heart? | CN X is inhibitory to the heart. Increased firing causes decreased Heart Rate; Decreased Firing causes Increased Heart Rate |
| When you stand up, how much does heart rate and blood pressure change? | Heart Rate increases by 5-10bpm; Blood Pressure drops by 5-20mmHg |

| What is the meaning of a change MORE than the expected mean in HR & BP when standing up? | body overcompensated = Volume Depletion |

| What is the pathology of Sick Sinus Syndrome in the elderly? | Carotid Sinus is so calcified that it does not respond. Sick sinus means pausing for more than one second. |
| What is the pathology of Reily Day Syndrome? | Babies are born with no autonomic reflexes |
| With respect to the carotid sinus, what sequence of events takes place when you increase your fluid volume? | Carotid Sinus increases firing; CN IX and X increase firing; HR decreases (Reflex Bradycardia) |
| Sequence of events takes place when you stand from a seated position (carotid sinus) | Blood pools in legs --> Decreased venous return --> Decreased EDV --> Decreased Stroke Volume --> Decreased firing of Carotid Sinus --> Decreased firing of CN IX and X --> Increased HR Reflex Tachycardia --> Decreased BP 5-20mmHg and Increased HR 5-10bpm |
| Mechanism responsible for immediate regulation of BP: | Carotid Reflex via Carotid Sinus |
| Mechanism responsible for intermediate regulation of BP: | NE (alpha1 receptors then beta1 receptors) |
| Mechanism responsible for long term regulation of blood pressure: | kidney |
| What is the most potent vasoconstrictor in the body? | Angiotensin II |
| To what stimulus to JG cells in the kidney respond? And how? | They respond to flow (volume) not pressure --> cause the release of Renin |
| What is the rationale for using a carotid massage? | Massaging the carotid Sinus stimulates an increase in Stroke Volume. This causes increased firing of Carotid Sinus, Increased Firing of CN IX and X and decrease in HR |
| How does NE regulate blood pressure? | If Carotid reflex is not enough to normalize BP, NE is released and causes vasoconstriction via Alpha1 receptors and an increase in HR via Beta1 receptors |
| What is the function of the carotid reflex? | The carotid sinus is responsible for immediate regulation of HR via reflex Brady & Tachy cardia |
| What is the diagnosis for a patient presenting with increased HR and Normal BP? | Hypovolemia (compensated shock) |
| What are the first physical signs of hypovolemia? | Poor skin turgor (mottled skin), increased pulse, and decreased bowel sounds |
