Question
Answer
What is the function of the CVC and where is it located?   exerts Autonomic control over the Heart/Aterioles - Medulla  
🗑
How does the CVC exert Aunomic control?   Inhibitory, Excitatory input from Peripheral Receptors  
🗑
What is the function of Pressreceptors/Baroreceptors?   INHIBIT the CVC - sensitive to HIGH BP --> DECREASE BF  
🗑
Where are Pressreceptors/Baroreceptors located?   Aortic Arch, Carotid bodies  
🗑
name 2 Excitatory Peripheral Receptors.   Chemoreceptors, Mechanoreceptors  
🗑
What is the function of Chemoreceptors?   EXCITE the CVC - sensitive to LOW O2 in the blood --> INCREASE BP  
🗑
What is the function of Mechanoreceptors?   EXCITE the CVC - sensitive to Movement --> INCREASE BP  
🗑
Where are Mechanoreceptors located?   Joints, Skeletal Muscles  
🗑
What would be the Inhibitory input response to decreased Sympathetic?   Vasodilation (alpha-adrenergeric) --> decrease PR --> decrease MAP = decrease BF  
🗑
What would be the Inhibitory input response to increased Parasympathetic?   decrease HR --> decrease MAP = decrease BF  
🗑
What would be the Excitatory input response to increased Sympathetic?   Vasoconstriction (alpha-adrenergic) some Vasodilation (ß2-adrenergic) --> increase PR --> increase MAP = increase BF  
🗑
What would be the Excitatory input response to decreased Parasympathetic?   increase HR --> increase MAP = increase BF  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
