|
Balance of constriction and dilation
|
|
Local Control
|
Autoregulation: Intrinsic Control
mediated by LOCAL mediators of tone This is the most important way blood flow is regulated in the heart and CNS also important to renal function and with increased activity in muscle and skin |
|
CONTROL OF THE CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM
Flow to organ |
FLOW = Driving P/ R
(heart, brain flow determined by Pa, local Resistance) Pa determined by CO and R elsewhere (TPR) |
|
Shunting of flow
|
dilate to keep blood in brain
or increase driving pressure, increase cardiac output, increase resistance elswhere |
|
No Autoregulation
|
No local control
Constance Resistance |
|
With Autoregulation
|
Constant flow even though pressure has changed
|
|
Metabolic Control
|
Uses local vasodilators :
CO2, lactate, K+, low O2 (products of metabolism) Match flow to metabolic needs |
|
How this relates to flow?
|
Can increase pressure via shunting
Can increase flow to head during fight or flight Can decrease resistance to gut after meal. |
|
Variations in circulations
|
Neural Control VS Local Control??
Brain (cerebral) Heart (coronary) Kidney (renal) Skin (cutaneous) Skeletal muscle GI tract (splanchnic) |
|

|
Circle of Willis (internal carotid artery, middle cerebral artery, basilar artery)
One of few anasomoses in brain |
|

|
|
Cerebral Flow Regulated by Metabolites
|
Blood vessels in brains will vasodilate with low O2 or high CO2
Low PO2 then cerebral blood flow increases Increase PCO2 in tissue then flow increase to get rid of CO2 |
|
Variations in Cerebral Blood FLow
|
Flow to areas changes with brain activity:
Local metabolic activity alters local flow! |
|
Changes in cerebral blood flow with pathology
|
Seizures increase flow locally, decreased flow post seizure in area of focus
Alzheimer's disease decrease flow in superior parietal, then temporal, then frontal cortex Also changes in Huntington’s, disease manic depression, schizophrenia Also suggest flow linked to metabolic activity of neurons |
|
Coronary circulation
|
Coronary artery branch from aorta near aortic valve
Large arteries travel on surface of heart, Smaller arterioles must pass from epicardium to endocardium through contracting muscle |
|
Coronary circulation - contraction
|
Contraction of heart compresses the arteries, so subendocardial flow only during diastole (mechanical property)
TACHYCARDIA decreases flow to left ventricle Aortic stenosis decreases flow to left ventricle |
|
Control of Coronary Circulation - Innervation
|
Innervation: minimal, but not zero. BC not many Alpha receptor in heart.
Direct α adrenergic constriction on VSM, but β adrenergic receptors on HR, contractility lead to vasodilation via metabolic effects Effects of nerve or NE- generally Vasodilation unless β-blocker |
|
Control of Coronary Circulation - Autoregulation
|
Autoregulation critical and more important: Range 60-200 mmHg
Calibrates flow to O2 demand. Vasodilation produced by low O2, or high CO2, H+, K, lactate, prostaglandin, adenosine (Oxidative metabolism very important) Reactive hyperemia present (increased flow after occlusion) |
|
Renal Circulation
|
Innervation: sympathetics - very important
Regional autoregulation Humoral factors can have local regional effects In cases of severe renal vasoconstriction (hypovolemia) renal vasoconstriction can result in acute renal failure (ex-extreme dehydration) |
|
Cutaneous circulation - Innervation and temperature response
|
Innervation : sympathetic, constrictor (Alpha)
Temperature response – shunting between arterial-venous anastomoses (unique to skin) |
|
Cutaneous Circulation
Mechanical response and wheal |
Mechanical response- contraction of precapillary sphincters
Wheal: vasodilation reflex from sensory neurons- substance P |
|
Skeletal Muscle
Flow, Innervation |
Able to increase flow by 20x with exercise - B2 dilation effect
Innervation: sympathetic A adrenergic can decrease flow to ¼ normal (precise use of sym) |
|
Skeletal Muscle
Autoregulation, Mechanical Forces |
Autoregulation: important in the exercising muscle, flow to contracting fibers increases as metabolism increases
BUT mechanical forces- compression of vessels can decrease flow in exercising muscle (downside) |
|
GI Tract Circulation
|
Major regulation vs SNS
Contriction when body needs increase BP or flow to heart, brain Dilation post-prandial Autoregulation/metabolic effects : probably important in increasing flow to a given segment (eg stomach vs intestine) with digestion |

cont |
macrophages have fat. Normal intima does not have many macrophages
LDL gets into cells via VCAM Oxidized LDL's get taken up first |
