How does increased arterial resistance affect cappillary pressure?
decreases it but increases the pressure gradient as a result favoring flow
What is the difference between basal tone and resting tone?
Basal tone is the state of partial contraction of vessels due to intrinsic properties of walls independent of input

Resting tone is the nomal tone that is normally slighltly more sympathetically tonic tha the basal tone
Summarize the difference between active constriction and passive constriction?
Active constriction is the constriction of a vessel due to neural or metabolic input. Passive constriction is the constriction of a vessel after a preceeding period of active vasodialation. Concept is same for active\passive vasodialation

What is active hyperemia?
When increase in metabolic activity produces increases local levels of metabolites(ie CO2) which signal local vasodialation

Gases: PO2, CO2

Metabolites: K+, PO4, lactic acid, prostaglandins, H+, adenosine, NO, increased osmolarity
Explain reactive hyperemia?
This is when an occlusion decreases Bf to a tissue causing myogenic vasodialation and metabolite increase as in active hyperemia so that when the occlusion is removed blood rushes to ischemic area, arteriole much wider than normal
