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
