Cards

Term
Elasticity
Definition
the physical property of materials which return to their original shape after they are deformed
Term
Compliance
Definition
is measure of the tendency of a hollow organ to resist recoil toward its original dimensions upon removal of a distending or compression force
Term
Arteries
Definition
Very elactic
Have large radii
Not compliant
Term
Veins
Definition
Not elactic
Very complient
Store blood volume
Term
Compliance formula
Definition
change of volume/ change in pressure
Term
How much blood moves out of artery during systole?
Definition
1/3
Term
Arterioles
Definition
small arteries
resistance vessels
local control of blood flow
they are the major site of resistance
Term
Arterioles
Definition
deliever blood to capillries
have smooth muscle that consrict vasoconstriction and dilate vasodilation
Term
Major roles of arterioles
Definition
1) Determine blood flow to organs
2) Determin MAP
Term
Formula to flow
Definition
Change in pressure/ resistance
Term
Vasodilation and vasoconstriction are controlled by what two ways?
Definition
Local controls
Extrinsic controls
Term
Local controls
Definition
mechanisms independent of nerves or hormones by which organs and tissues alter their own arerial reististances, thereby self - regulating their blood flows
Term
Four ways of Local control of blood flow
Definition
1)Active hypermia
2)Flow autoregulation
3)Reactive hypermia
4)Response to injury (inflamation)
Term
Active hypermia
Definition
metabolizing tiusses causes arteriolar vasodilation due to increased need blood flow.
Increased metabolic activity
Metabolites: CO2, K, H, Adenosine, NO, bradykinin
Term
Flow autoregulation
Definition
intrinsic design to maintain constant blod flow despite changes in blood pressure.
Stretch sensitive calicum channels allow direct responeses to change in vessel (myogenic response)
Term
Reactive hypermia
Definition
Following occulison (vessel completley block and no flow), short but dramatic increase in blood flow to organ/tissue.
Due to lack of oxygen and build up of metabolites. Co2, H, Adenosine
ex. tieing string around finger
Term
Extrinci Blood flow that is
NONCHOLINERGIC AND NONADRENERGIC
Definition
doesnt release neither norepinephrine or actylcholine but releas other vasodilator ex. NO (nitric oxide). Found mainly in enteric nervous system, GI tract, penis, clitoris. Basis for viagra and cialsis
Term
Sympaththic stimulation of alpha adrnergic causes
Definition
vasoconstriction
Term
Epinehrine stimulation of alpha - adrenergic receptors causes
Definition
vasconstriction
Term
Epinephrine stumlation of beta adrenergic receptors causes
Definition
vasodilation
Term
Hormones
Definition
Epineprhine Angiotensin II Vaopressin Atrial natiuretic peptide
Term
Epinephrine
Definition
binds to adrenergic receptors causes vasoconstriction or binds to beta adrenergic receptors (in GI tract and bladder) to cause vasodilation
Term
Vasopressin
Definition
vasoconstriction of arterioles
Term
Atrial natruietic peptide
Definition
vasodilation of arterioles
Term
The binding of which nerotransmitter can lead to both vasoconstriction and vasodilation
Definition
Epinephrine
Term
Capillaries
Definition
exchange of matierials, nutrients, metabolic end products, cell secretions, thin wall of endothelial cells suported by basal lamina. beds are found near almost every cell in body
Term
Capillaries
Definition
have very slow velocity of blood flow allows nutrients to exchange effectively
Term
Substances leave capillaries by which 3 mechanisms
Definition
1) Diffusion
2) Vesicular transport
3) Bulk flow
Term
Diffusion
Definition
most effective. high to low gradient.
oxygen and glucose enters tissues through capillaries. Co2 and wastes leave through capillaries
Term
Blood major functions
Definition
Communication, transport, protection
Term
Plasma consists of
Definition
90% water
7% Proteins
3% Minerals
Term
Major minerals of plasma
Definition
Na+ and Cl- provide osmotic equilibrium
HCO3- major regulator of H+ in body fluids
Term
Plasma proteins are
Definition
albumin, globulins, fibrinogen
Term
Which is the most abundant plasma protein
Definition
albumin
Term
Major functions of plasma protein
Definition
carriers for hormones, trace metals and drugs.
proteoilysis of prohormones and enzyme precursors
Inhibition of interstitial and plasm proteases
Colloid pressure in plasma
Body protection (Coagulation and Humoral Immunity)
Term
Angiotensin II
Definition
vasoconstriciton
Term
P wave
Definition
first deflection
atrial depolarization
Term
QRS complex
Definition
second deflection
ventricular depolarization
Term
T
Definition
ventricular repolarization
Term
Systole
Definition
heart contraction
Term
What are the two stages in systole
Definition
1 Isovolumetric ventricular contraction
2 Ventricular ejection
Term
Diastole
Definition
heart relaxtion
last twice as long
Term
What are the two stages in diastole
Definition
1 Isovolumetric ventricular relaxtion
2 Ventricular filling
Term
Left side of the heart
Definition
systemic
more muscular
pumps blood to the rest of the body
Term
Right side of the heart
Definition
pulmonary; 100% of blood goes directly to lungs
