low
|
|
MUSCULAR/RESPIRATORY PUMPS: 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 |
|

|
higher
|
|
TPR SCHEMATIC
TPR is controlled by 2 things _____ and _____ |
Arteriole radius and Blood viscocity
|
|

RBC; plasma proteins
|
|
TPR SCHEMATIC

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
|
|

|
carotid sinus; aortic arch
|

|
MAP (pressure)
|
|

|
|
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 |
|
