🗑
PACEMAKER- SA NODE   *Starts at −60 mV and drifts upward due to slow Na+ inflow *Cells of the SA NODE depolarize slow or gradual depolarization is called pacemaker potential * and Na+ channels open  
🗑
P WAVE   Atria depolarize causes P wave and contract

stroke volume (SV)   Increased venous return  
🗑
Frank–Starling law of the heart   Stroke volume is proportional to the end diastolic volume  
🗑

🗑
Tunica externa (tunica adventitia)   Outermost layer of an artery or vein Consists of tough loose connective tissue Vasa vasorum: larger vessels and arteries  
🗑
Arteries   sometimes called resistance vessels because of their strong, resilient tissue structure Arteries are classified by size Conducting (elastic or large) arteries Biggest arteries and vessels have thickest tunica media  
🗑
Arteries are classified by size   Biggest arteries and vessels have thickest tunica media  
🗑
Arteries Functions: (4)   - thicker tunica media than veins - carry blood away from the heart - they carry blood to arterioles - no endothelium valves  
🗑
greatest volume of blood found in the body   VEINS  
🗑
Veins Functions:   - thinner tunica media than arteries - carry blood back to heart - receive blood from venules - has endothelium has one way valves  
🗑
Blood pools in the lower legs   varicose veins  
🗑
Blood backflows and further distends the vessels, their walls grow weak and develop into   varicose veins  
🗑
Arterial anastomosis   (alternative) routes of blood supply to a tissue  
🗑
Factor influences resistance to blood flow are   blood viscosity and tension of the muscles in the wall of the blood vessels  
🗑
AS BP tends to rise with age   - arteries get “hard” and absorb less systolic force  
🗑
*regulated mainly by kidney * direct cause of blood pressure   BV BLOOD VOLUME  
🗑
Blood pressure (BP) Blood pressure is highest in the Blood pressure is lowest in the   highest in the large arteries lowest in the large veins  
🗑
Blood viscosity   (“thickness”) Increased viscosity would decreased the velocity OF BLOOD FLOW  
🗑
most powerful influence over flow   Vessel radius  
🗑
changes in vessel radius, associated with smooth muscle in the tunica media   Vasoreflexes  
🗑
Vessel radius   most important effect or markedly affects blood velocity  
🗑
Medullary ischemic reflex   Results in increased circulation to the brain Medulla oblongata monitors its own blood supply, where vasomotor located (ALL THE ABOVE(  
🗑
Angiotensin II   potent vasoconstrictor also powerful vasoconstrictor  
🗑
Atrial natriuretic peptide   Lowers or decrease blood pressure  
🗑
Hydrostatic pressure   most important force driving filtration at the arterial end of a capillary REMEMBER ARTERIAL END  
🗑
