response of vascular smooth muscle to local chemical changes due to metabolism
|
metabolic control
|
|
increase in blood flow to tissue in response to an increase in metabolic demand
|
hyperemia
|
|
insufficient blood flow to tissue
|
ischemia
|
|
explain the alpha adrenergic receptors in blood flow
|
-the hormone norepinephrine
-part of sympathetic NS -vasoconstriction in most tissues |
|
explain the beta 2 adrenergic receptors in blood flow
|
-the hormone epinephrine
-vasodilation in skeletal muscle |
|
what does ADH do?
|
vasoconstriction in most tissues
|
|
what are the paracrine regulators?
|
1. nitric oxide
2. prostaglandins |
|
function of nitric oxide?
|
vasodilation
|
|
functions of prostaglandins?
|
vasodilation or vasoconstriction
|
|
what regulates the blood flow in capillaries?
|
1. arteriolar smooth muscle
2. precapillary sphincters |
|
fluid and substances are exchanged across endothelium via what?
|
diffusion, transcytosis, and bulk flow
|
|
driven mostly by blood pressure in the capillary
|
filtration out of a capillary
|
|
driven mostly by colloid osmotic pressure
|
reabsorption back into capillary
|
|
how do you find the net filtration pressure (NFP)?
|
BP of cap - COP
|
|
what is the NFP at the arteriole end?
|
BP > COP --> NFP is + --> filtration
|
|
what is the NFP at the venous end?
|
BP < COP --> NFP is - --> reabsorption
|
|
what type of system collects the excess interstitial fluid and returns it to vein?
|
lymphatic system
|
|
what type of condition results when filtration is >> than reabsorption?
|
edema
|
|
what increases capillary permeability, plasma proteins leak out
|
histamine
|
|
what can increase BP of capillary slightly, and is regulated by local vasoconstriction?
|
high arterial BP
|
|
what can increase BP of capillary, but is difficult to regulate?
|
high venous BP
|
