|
|
Describe systematic and pulmonary circulation? |
Systematic: pumps oxygenated blood away from the heart and then becomes deoxygenated and goes back to the right side of the heart Pulmonary: pumps deoxygenated blood into the lungs to become oxygenated and then pumps to the rest of the body |
|

Higher |
|
|

|
Blood flow velocity depends on two factors: |
Blood flow Cross-sectional area, capillary arterioles |
|
|
Formula for velocity blood flow: |
V = Q/A |
|
|
Which artery has the highest velocity blood flow? |
Aorta |
|
|

Gas exchange |
|
|
Blood flow is determined by what two factors: |
Pressure and total peripheral resistance |
|
|
How is blood flow related to resistance? |

|
|
Resistance of blood vessels rely on three factors: |

|
|
Capacitance is inversely proportional to: |
Elasticity of blood vessel |
|
|
What does capacitance measure? |
Distensbility of the blood vessel |
|
|
More elasticity of the blood vessel means _________ capacitance. |

100 mmHg 50 mmHg 20 mmHg 4 mmHg |
|
|
What is the systolic and diastolic pressure? |
Systolic: highest arterial pressure when the heart contracts Diastolic; lowest arterial pressure when the heart relaxes |
|
|
Two factors that effect blood pressure: |
Cardiac output and TPR |
|
|
Factors that cause primary hypertension: |
-stress, dietary Na, obesity -over stimulation of sympathetic system, -over secretion of aldosterone via renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system -lack of vasodilators |
4 |
|
Two examples of vasodilators: |
Prostaglandin and bradykinin |
|
|
How does the adrenal gland cause hypertension? |
Any disorders of a.gland cause hypertension; Secretes endocrine hormones which increase BP cortisol secreted by adrenal cortex also increases BP |
