Types of blood vessels |
Arteries- carry blood away from the heart Capillaries- exchange vessels Veins- carry blood toward the heart |
|
Arteries and veins structure |
Tunica intima-lines the blood vessel and is exposed to blood. Endothelium simple squamous epithelium (selectively preamble barrier) Tunica media- smooth muscle. Faso motor Nerve fibers controls vasoconstriction and vasodilation of vessels Tunica externa outermost layer collagen fibers protect vasa vasorum |
|
Elastic arteries (conducting) |
aorta act as pressure reservoirs expand and recoil as blood is ejected from heart large lumen |
|
Muscular (distributing) arteries |
Deliver blood to body organs(active in vasoconstriction) |
|
Arterioles |
Smallest lead to capillary beds |
|
Capillaries |
Walls of thin tunica intima. Function exchange of gases, nutrients, wastes, hormones |
|
3 types of capillaries |
Continuous capillaries- least preamble in most tissues. Allows passages of solutes Fenestrated capillaries-kidneys and small intestine endothelial cells riddled with holes called filtration pores (organs that require rapid absorb tigons or filtration.) Sinusoids- liver bone marrow spleen, irregular blood filled spaces with large fenestrations |
|
Throughfare channels of capillary beds |
Metarteriole that continues through capillary bed to venule |
|
Precapillary sphinters capillary beds |
Controls which beds are well perfused Sphincters open capillaries are well perfused with blood=exchanges with tissue fluid Sphincters close blood bypasses capillaries flows through channels vascular shunt |
|
Veins |
Capacitance vess Greater capacity for blood containment than arteries Adaptions that ensure return of blood to the heart Large diameter lumens offer little resistance Valves prevent backflow of blood |
|
Blood flow |
Volume of blood flowing though a vessel, organ, or entire circulation in a given period,= cardiac output |
|
Blood pressure |
The pressure gradient provides the driving force that keeps blood moving from higher to lower pressure areas. |
|
Resistance( periphial) |
Opposition to flow measure the amount of friction blood encounters. Blood viscosity Total blood vessel length Blood vessel diameter |
|
Blood pressure increases |
Blood flow speeds up (directly proportional) |
|
If resistance increases |
blood flow decreases inversely proportional |
|
Systemic pressure |
Highest in the aorta declines 0 in the right atrium (steepest drop in arterioles> capillaries) |
|
Factors aiding in venous return |
1. Respiratory pump-pressure changes during breathing moves blood toward the heart 2. Muscular pump- contractile of skeletal muscles milk blood toward heart 3. Vasoconstriction of veins |
|
Sort term neural controls of BP |
Baroreceptors in carotid sinuses aortic arch bad walls of arteries Baroreflex negative feedback response to changes in BP. ( increases in BP defected in carotid sinuses). Inhibit the sympathetic cardiac and vasomotor neurons reducing sympathetic tone(vasodilation) Baroreceptors in carotid sinus protect blood to brain Baroreceptors in the aortic maintain adequate BP in the systemic circuit |
|
Short term neural controls of BP |
Chemo reflex response to changes in blood chemistry Ph and gas concentration |
|
Sort term hormonal controls of BP |
Hormones influence BP through vasoconstrictive effects or regulating water balance |
|
Long term regulation of BP |
Control BP by altering blood volume (kidneys) Direct renal independently of hormones Indirect renin antagonism |
|
Measuring BP 1sounds occur when.... |
Blood starts to spurt though the artery and stop when artery is no longer constricted |
|
Auto regulation |
The ability of he tissue to regulate their own blood supply. Is controlled by modifying the diameter if local arterioles feeding the capillaries |
|
Auto regulation types |
Metabolic- wastes Myotonic stretch |
|
Long term auto regulation |
Angiogenesis when shot term autoregulation cannot meet tissue requirements vessels ^ |
|
Capillaries exchange if lipid soluble molecules |
Diffusion (gases) |
|
Capillary exchange of water soluble solutes |
Pass thought clefts and fenestrations ( amino acids and sugars) |
|
Capillary exchange of large molecules |
Pink yogic vesicles or caveolae |
|
Fluid movement bulk flow |
Direction and amount if fluid flow depends in two opposing forces hydrostatic( tends to force fluid out) (arterial end)and colloid osmotic pressures( draw water in)(venous end)=net filtration pressure |
|
Circulatory shock |
any condition Blood vessels are inadequately filled blood cannot circulate normally |
|
During ventricular systole myocardial blood flow |
Stops |
|
Low o2 levels in lungs |
Vasoconstriction |
