Where is the blood volume distributed in the body?
Venous Circulation: 64%
Arterial Circulation: 20%
Pulmonary: 9%
Heart: 7%
What is considered the major resistance vessel?
Arterioles
(accounts for 50% of resistance)
What is the layout of the arterial system?
Artery--Arterioles--Metarterioles--Capillaries
What are the characteristics of capillary blood flow?
Intermittent blood flow
(vasomotion )
What is the most important determinant of the degree of opening and closing of metarterioles and precapillary sphincters?
Oxygen-- Low O2 increases blood low through capillaries to supply tissue
What 3 ways does fluid move across the capillary membranes?
1 Diffusion
2 Filtration
3 Pinocytosis
Direction of fluid movement with capillary filtration is dependent on four pressures... what are they?
1. Capillary pressure
2. Interstitial fluid pressure
3. Plasma colloid oncotic pressure
4. Interstitial fluid oncotic pressure
What is the mean capillary pressure ?
approx 17 mm/hg
(25mmHg at arterial end, and 10mmHg at venous end)
What is the Interstitial fluid pressure and what is it's role in controlling edema?
IFP: -6.3mmHg
the negative pressure acts as a vacuum tohold tissues together and maintain a min distance for diffusion of nutrients. Loss of negative pressure allows for edema formation.
What makes up the plasma colloid oncotic pressure?
Albumin, Globulins and fibrinogen -- total COP is 28mmHg
... causes movement of fluid inward thru cap membranes
What is the Donnan Equilibrium effect on COP?
extra osmotic pressure attributable to cations (Na+ and K+) attached to dissolved plasma proteins
What is the NET effect of the pressure effects of fluid movement across cap membranes?
Positive filtration at arterial end and positive reabsorption at venous end...(any extra fluid left in isf is taken up by lymph system)
What Lipid soluble molecules DIFFUSE directly through the cap membranes independent of pores?
O2, CO2, Inhaled Agents

Insoluable molecules: Na, K, Cl,Glucose(use pores)
What molecules are involved in Pinocytosis?
High molecular weight molecules: Plasma proteins, Glycoproteins, Polysaccharides
How much of the blood volume is in the sytemic circulation?
84% (remainder in pulmonary and heart)
What is Pulse Pressure?
Difference between SBP-DBP
What determines PP?
Stroke Volume, Heart Rate, Arterial compliance
What is the relationship between Pulse Pressure and SV?
Increased SV = Increased Pulse Pressure
What happens with PP with decreased SVR?
Decreased SVR = Increases PP
( flow of blood from arteries to veins is accelerated, which increases venous return and increases SV)
What happens with PP with Increased CO?
Increased CO = Increased PP
What happens to PP with Increased DBP?
Inc DBP = Decreased PP
What is Pulsus paradoxus? Is this normal or abnormal?
An exagerated Decreased in SBP and pulse during Inspiration.(heart cannot expand)
= Patholologic: cardiac tamponade, hypovolemia, restrictive pericarditis.
What is Pulsus Alternans? is this normal or abnormal?
Alternating weak and strong cardiac contractions... Abnormal:
AV Block
Dig toxicity
What is a Pulse deficit?
When a second heartbeat is heard thru stehoscope but is not palpable.... Abnormal: AFib or PVC's
What is the significance of the phlebostatic angle?
Hydrostatic pressure does not alter venour or arterial pressure at this pint. (Tricuspid valve)
What happens to Arterial BP if transducer is too high?
the reading is low.
What determines the viscosity of blood?
HCT
also-- increased HCT will decrease PP because of increased resistance.
What is the acute controller of Blood flow at the local level?
long term?
1. tissue metabolism
2. Oxygen availability
-collateral circulation development
What is the Fastest ANS controller of blood flow?
1. SNS: NE/E
- Alpha-1 vasoconstriction
- Alpha 2 vasoconstriction
Beta 2 vasodilation
What are the Hormonal Vasodilating substances?
Bradykinin
serotonin
histamine
Prostaglandins
Low Epi...
What are the electrolytes involved in vasodilation?
Increased: K+, H+ , CO2, Mg+, Na+
What is the Rapid Acting mechanism of Blood pressure?
(sec to min)
1.Baroreceptors
-Carotid
-Aortic
2. CNS Ischemic REflex(map<50)
3. Chemoreceptors (dec O2, Inc CO2,H+)
4. Atrial reflexes (bainbridge)
What is the intermediate mechanism of blood pressure control?
1. Hormonal-(catecholamines, and angeiotension, and ADH vasoconstriction)
2. Intrinsic-capillary shift mechanism
3. Stress-relaxation mechanism
What is the long term pressure control mechanism?
Renal-body mechanism(Kidneys)
What arre the 5 types of shock?
Circulatory
Hemorrhagic
Hypovolemic
Neurogenic
Septic
What are the characteristic manifestations of shock?
1. Decreased CO (except Septic)
2. Reduced Tissue O2 deivery
3. Skeletal muscle weakness
4 Decreased body temp
5. Altered mental status
6. Decreased urine output
7. Progressive deterioration: Cardiogenic Shock
