Semi-permeable
DIFFUSION/BULK FLOW:CAPILLARY
1. When blood is normal (high protein), water tends to stay in the blood.
2. When there is a liver or kidney failure (low blood protein), water will leave the blood and go into the tissue resulting in _______
edema

to veins; away from capillaries
Veins return blood to the _____
heart (capillaries carry blood away from heart)
Veins have a low _____ and _____ at about 5 mm Hg

Capacitance (veins/venules)
How does blood travel so far? There are _____ in the lumen of veins which promote a one way flow
valves

low
MUSCULAR/RESPIRATORY PUMPS: VEINS
Working muscles ____ veins to push blood back to the heart

Respiratory pumps work because the pressure of the expanding lungs squeezes the _____ veins
squeezes

thoracic
VENOUS VALVE FAILURE: VERICOSE VEINS
Occurs when the valves can't hold the column of blood above them

The vein expands and dilates to accommodate the extra blood
VENOUS VALVE FAILURE: VERICOSE VEINS
Superficial veins become more visible while in deep veins there is an increase risk of DVT

They are aggravated by prolonged standing
Would the statement "all deoxygenated blood flow through veins" be accuarate? Why or why not?
Systemic Arteries & Pulmonary Veins= oxygenated
Pulmonary Arteries= deoxygenated
Do arteries have valves? Why or why not?
No, they are high pressure blood distributors. Veins do, expand + contract= = control
How does blood in veins get from the tip of your tow back up to the heart? Is there anything that helps it along?
Muscles squeezes the veins which forces the blood to move up; the valves prevent backflow
TOTAL PERIPHERAL RESISTANCE

TPR adjusts blood to the various areas of our body depending on the need of the body or the local tissue

For example, in exercising muscle needs more glucose/O2, so it gets more blood but do all the muscles need more blood?
No, so in non-exercising muscles we actually see a decreased blood flow

This distribution of blood to the areas that need it is the job of the TPR
Vasoconstriction = smaller radius / _____ flow
higher
TPR SCHEMATIC
TPR is controlled by 2 things _____ and _____
Arteriole radius and Blood viscocity
TPR SCHEMATIC
TPR controlled by:
1. Arteriolar Radius is controlled by Intrinsic Control and Extrensic Control

2. Blood viscocity is controlled by the number of _____ and the concentration of ______ ______ (thickness)
RBC; plasma proteins
TPR SCHEMATIC
TPR controlled by:
Arteriolar radius controlled by:
I. Intrinsic control:
1. Local metabolite build-up (O2, CO2, etc)
2. Local heat (dialate) or cold (constrict)
3. Histamine release (injury)
4. NO release
TPR SCHEMATIC
TPR controlled by:
Arteriolar radius controlled by:
II. Extrinsic control:
1. Ang II (vasoconstriction)
2. ADH
3. Atrial natriuretic protein (ANP opposite of ADH)
4. Epi/norepi (vasoconstrict)
5. SNS
MEAN ARTERIAL PRESSURE (MAP)
This is the main driving force for propelling blood into the ______
tissues
MEAN ARTERIAL PRESSURE (MAP)
It is highly regulated to ensure proper flow to the brain and other tissues

MAP is controlled by: 2 things
MAP = CO x TPR

CO= SV X HR
SV= volume of blood ejected from a ventricle into aorta or pul. trunk each minute
TPR = viscocty and arteriole radius
BLOOD PRESSURE REGULATION
_______ keeps blood regulated
BLOOD PRESSURE REGULATION
Homeostasis
BLOOD PRESSURE REGULATION
Two major system of Adjustment: ___ ___ and ____ ___
BLOOD PRESSURE REGULATION
Short term and long term
BLOOD PRESSURE REGULATION
1. Short Term: Neural/seconds
Alters CO & TPR via autonomic nerves; influences heart, veins, and arterioles
BLOOD PRESSURE REGULATION
2. Long Term: Hormonal/min or days
-Adjusts salt & H2O
-Regulates urine output/thirst
-ADH (raise BP, gain salt)
- Ang II (raise BP)
- ANP (lower BP, salt loss)
Short term BP Regulation is Neural (SNS, PNS); get up fast and feel dizzy
Long Term BP Regulation is Hormonal; more effects on blood volume, which then effects BP
Baroreceptors are pressure receptors located in the ____ ____ and the ____ ____
carotid sinus; aortic arch
Baroreceptors detect change in _____
MAP (pressure)
Chemoreceptors are located in the ____ ____ and ____ ____, next to the baroreceptors
aortic arch and carotid sinus
Chemoreceptors respond to very low ___ levels or high acid levels in the blood
O2
Chemoreceptors mainly alters ______ to increase O2 levels but will also increase MAP
respiration
Cardiovascular changes due to exercise: the body's goal is to _____ blood flow to get it to where it is needed
increase
CV CHANGES: EXERCISE
1. HR increases why
2. Venous Return increases why
3. SV increases why
4. CO increases why
CV CHANGES: EXERCISE
1. SNS increases; PNS decreases
2.Repiratory and muscle pumps= Venoconstriction
3. Increases venous return and increased contractility due to SNS
4. Increased SV and HR
CV CHANGES: EXERCISE
Blood flow to heart and skeletal muscle increases due to vasodilation that overrides systemic constrictor; Beta 2 receptor dilation
Beta 2 is an SNS receptor and only dialates (vasodilation and bronchioles) stimulated by epinephrine

Increased blood--> increased noepi and epi--> Beta 2 =dilation
CV CHANGES: EXERCISE
Blood flow to the brain changes?
CV CHANGES: EXERCISE
No, cerebral flow is LOCAL ONLY
CV CHANGES: EXERCISE
Blood flow to the skin?
CV CHANGES: EXERCISE
Increases due to release of heat (=vasodilation)
CV CHANGES: EXERCISE
Blood to viscera?
CV CHANGES: EXERCISE
Decreases b/c of SNS vasoconstriction
NET EFFECTS OF EXERCISE
TPR: Total Peripheral Resistance
Decreases; vasodilation to muscles/skin more effect than organ vasoconstriction
NET EFFECTS OF EXERCISE
more openening than closing = drop in TPR
NET EFFECTS OF EXERCISE
MAP: Mean Arterial Pressure
Modest Increase; the rise in CO is more than drop in TPR
NET EFFECTS OF EXERCISE
MAP: Mean Arterial Pressure
In normal people, exercise should only increase BP around 20-30 mm Hg (resting=120; exercise=150)
CIRCULATORY SHOCK
classic signs are 1 2 3
CIRCULATORY SHOCK
1. Rapid resting HR
2. Weak Pulse
3. Skin is pale, cool, clammy
A 21 y/o man brought into ED. He has a gunshot wound in abdomen that is bleeding continuously. His skin is pale, weak, and clammy. He has a weak resting pulse.
He is experiencing hypovolemic shock
TYPES OF CIRCULATORY SHOCK:
1. Hypovolemic
2. Cardiogenic
3. Vasogenic
4. Neurogenic
TYPES OF CIRCULATORY SHOCK:
1. fluid loss
2. heart failure
3. widespread vasodilation
4. excruciating pain
TYPES OF CIRCULATORY SHOCK:
1. Hypovolemic:
Severe hemmorage OR excessive vomiting, diahrrea, urination --> loss of fluid from plasma = BLOOD VOLUME LOSS = DECREASED CV = DECREASED MAP = SHOCK
Not enough blood is getting back to the heart, it won't beat as strong, Decreases CO --> decreases MAP = shock
TYPES OF CIRCULATORY SHOCK:
2. Cardiogenic- heart failure
Weakened heart (CHF, drugs)-->decreased CO-->decreased MAP = shock
TREATMENT: IONOTROPH= makes heart work harder/stronger (Beta 1 agonsists) Dopamine
TYPES OF CIRCULATORY SHOCK:
3. Vasogenic: widespread vasodilation
Septic shock (infection)=vasodilator (bacteria) OR Anaphylactic shock (allergy)=histamine release-->WIDESPREAD VASODILATION-->Decreased TPR-->Decreased MAP=Shock
TREATMENT:
Epinephrine for allergy
Antibiotic for infection
TYPES OF CIRCULATORY SHOCK:
4. Neurogenic: pain (crushing injuries with no real blood loss)
Decreased SNS nerve activity-->Loss of vascular tone-->Widespread vasodilation-->Decreased TPR-->Decreased MAP=shock
TREATMENT:
Treat the pain
IRREVERSIBLE SHOCK:
There is a finite amount of time for shock to be treated
IRREVERSIBLE SHOCK:
Initially, when the body senses shock, it will REDIRECT blood flow to critical areas, the heart and brain
IRREVERSIBLE SHOCK:
All non critical areas have dramatic decreased blood flow (viscera, skin, extremeties)
IRREVERSIBLE SHOCK:
This is ok for a short amount of time, but then the local metabolites are building up in these tissues (O2 is being used up)
IRREVERSIBLE SHOCK:
Eventually, the local control will override the systemic vasoconstriction and result in a MASSIVE VASODILATION that no drugs can correct
IRREVERSIBLE SHOCK:
Further drop in venous return and CO, total fall in MAP = coma and death
HYPERTENSION:
Normal BP in male is?
Normal BP in female is?
HYPERTENSION:
